'That's just my face': Mark Zuckerberg responds to being trolled over Guinness clip

Mark Zuckerberg has responded after being ridiculed on the interwebs (including on Facebook) over the way drank Guinness during a recent podcast.

The billionaire and his Chief of AI, Alexander Wang were on John Collison's Cheeky Pint show, which they began by toasting a pint of the stout.

Guinness is a highly popular drink, but it's certainly an acquired taste; and Zuckerberg evidently wasn't accustomed to it.

He appeared to struggle to swallow his sip, before glancing to the side and swishing the drink around his mouth and finally gulping it down.

As anyone who understands the internet would assume, the moment was shared to Reddit and X where viewers were not kind, nor forgiving - as they often aren't of billionaires.

But after seeing the comments, Zuckerberg took to X to declare: “That's just my face.”

Zuckerberg's response on X has been viewed more than eight million times, and the clip itself, more than 15 million.

Obviously, he's trying to be polite (unlike Kelly Clarkson, he knows his power and influence), but in the video, he reportedly doesn't touch his drink for another 10 minutes; and still has to brace himself before he takes the smallest of sips.
