The Internet Is Losing It Over This Hilarious Gordon Ramsay Impression
While celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is best known as the tough-talking and temperamental host of shows like "Kitchen Nightmares," "Hell's Kitchen," and "MasterChef," younger generations may know Ramsay best from his popular TikTok account, which has over 25 million followers and frequently receives millions of views per video (via TikTok). Now, a viral video of a spot-on impression of the chef is taking the internet by storm and has received a stamp of approval from Ramsay himself.
The TikTok video — which has gone viral with 28.2 million views, 6 million likes, and over 60,000 comments — features TikTok user Jack Chalmers (a.k.a. @therealfemtom) giving his best impression of the British chef with the caption "POV: You're dating Gordon's daughter." Chalmers acts out how he imagines Ramsay would interact with a hypothetical man named "Matt" coming to pick up his daughter for a date.
In a flawless impression of the chef, Chalmers greets the camera with: "Oh you're my daughter's date ... oh wow," before excusing himself to comment on the suitor's looks, adding "one thing I can tell you is ... that boy's got a face like a dog's a**. What a shame." Commenters were quick to praise Chalmer's excellent impression of the star chef, down to his voice and mannerisms.
Ramsay himself praised this TikTok creator's impression
While Ramsay frequently uses his own TikTok account to react to other users' cooking and Ramsay-related videos — using the app's stitch feature — this particularly spot-on impression got a special shout-out on social media. The celebrity chef reposted the video to his Instagram Reels, adding: "Brilliant job, @thefemtom!!! @Tillyramsay am I really that bad?!?"
Within two hours, the post received over 300,000 likes and 6,000 comments, many of which praised the TikTok creator for his impression. User @elliot.tones15 received over 1,000 likes on a comment asking: "wait this is an impression?" Meanwhile user @__amanrastogi__ commented: "He's literally Gordon lmao. Even the hand gestures are spot on!"
Although Ramsay is the father of five children with wife Tana Ramsay, the subject of the TikTok is his daughter Tilly, who has followed in her father's footsteps in the food and television industries as the host of the BBC cooking show "Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch" and author of the "Tilly's Kitchen Takeover" cookbook.
While we can't say definitively if Chalmers' impression of Ramsay is the best that has ever been attempted, we can all agree that taking the famously fiery chef's daughter on a date would be a frightening affair for any young suitor.
