In an amusing twist, young climate activist Greta Thunberg recently changed her Twitter name to “Sharon,” showcasing her quick wit and sense of humor. This clever move came after a clip from the BBC game show Celebrity Mastermind went viral on January 2. In the episode, host John Humphrys asked contestant Amanda Henderson about the author of the book No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference, to which she mistakenly responded with “Sharon.”
Thunberg seized the moment, updating her Twitter handle to reflect the humorous gaffe. Michael Segalov, who shared the moment on Twitter, quipped, “I know we’re only on day 2, but I am 100% certain this will make all the ‘tv clips of the decade’ lists in 2029.” Thunberg not only celebrated her birthday on that day but also participated in a Fridays for Future climate protest outside the Swedish parliament in Stockholm.
A History of Playful Responses
This isn’t the first time Thunberg has shown her knack for playful responses. Following her recognition as Time’s Person of the Year, she cleverly countered a tweet from then-President Donald Trump, who suggested she should work on her anger management. Thunberg updated her bio to humorously acknowledge her “anger management problem.”
Moreover, after Brazilian President João Silva called her a “pirralha,” the Portuguese word for brat, she swiftly added that term to her profile. And when Trump commented on her UN speech, suggesting she looked like “a very happy young girl,” she turned it into a part of her bio as well.
