You've heard of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and the Keke Challenge. Now, get ready for the 'Bottle Cap Challenge'.
The aim of the challenge is to unscrew the bottle cap without using your hands
Participants place a bottle on an elevated solid surface with the cap loosely twisted shut. They then have to do a spinning back hook kick aimed at the bottle cap, as a means of unscrewing it.
Easier said than done, as many have ended up kicking over the bottle.
The spinning back hook kick is a popular Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) move so it's no surprise that the challenge started with martial artist Farabi Davletchin
Designer Errolson Hugh followed soon after and challenged Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Champion Max Holloway, who then challenged John Mayer.
Now that celebrities are getting involved, the challenge is officially on! John Mayer and Ellie Goulding made some pretty stellar attempts…
Jason Statham's slow-mo video was also particularly impressive as you can literally see the bottle cap unscrew itself
That is, until Donnie Yen a.k.a. Ip Man stepped it up by doing it blindfolded!
Other celebrities who have been challenged include David Beckham, Naomi Scott, and Will Smith.
