Another day, another viral challenge on Instagram. It is almost to be expected, with millions of people confined to their homes amid the coronavirus pandemic.
You may well have seen the handstand challenge appear on your timelines in the last few days. But what is it, exactly?
The feat shows off physical agility, as well as a little extroverted flair, as those who take part are required to put on a T-shirt while doing a handstand.
The craze has likely been popularised by Spider-Man: Homecoming star Tom Holland, who took to his Instagram Stories to show himself taking on the "impossible challenge".
After a fair amount of huffing and puffing, the British actor succeeded in getting on his New York Yankees T-shirt, and then nominated fellow celebrities Ryan Reynolds, Jake Gyllenhaal and Harrison Osterfield to try their hand.
Gyllenhaal and Osterfield both duly obliged, with the former taking fewer than 30 seconds to complete the challenge.
Deadpool star Reynolds, however, declined the offer to partake in the challenge, taking to his Instagram Stories and simply saying: "No".
Gyllenhaal nominated Hugh Jackman, 50 Cent and his sister Maggie Gyllenhaal, who are all yet to respond to the challenge.
