Instagram Is Losing It Over Paul Hollywood Dressed As This Country Legend

Need a big dose of entertainment? All you need to do is check out celebrity chef Paul Hollywood's latest Instagram updates for a bit of laughter. The star surprised his fans by dressing up as popular country musician, Billy Ray Cyrus. His fans were beyond amused at this latest avatar and had a lot to say about his transformation.

Several commentators wrote that Hollywood looks as brilliant as ever. Former "Great British Bake Off" winner, Rahul Mandal, complimented the chef. "What a style," he commented. A fan wrote that they love how Paul Hollywood is always up for fun experiments like this one and doesn't mind having a bit of fun. "My favorite people are the ones who don't take themselves too seriously," they wrote. Just to be clear, Hollywood was doing this for a special reason. And yes, it has everything to do with "The Great British Bake Off!"

So why did Paul Hollywood transform himself into Billy Ray Cyrus? It was for a video to kick-start the latest season of "The Great British Bake Off." The chef was definitely amused and reposted the video clip on Instagram with the caption, "What were we thinking?" 

According to Eater, the TV show is notorious for coming up with wacky intros, and this edition was no exception. Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith, and the rest of the gang were dressed as country musicians in the clip, dancing to a version of the popular song, "Achy Breaky Heart." There was also a very confused squirrel in the clip who escaped the scene at the first opportunity. "This feels like one of those weird moments you experience whilst in a dream," read one of the most-liked comments. Someone else commented that this clip made their day. Another fan wondered whether they'd get to see a longer promo version of the clip. Entertaining, to say the least.
