What hafen, Michael Sager?
The Sparkle Star just met Cristopher Diwata, the viral guy behind the iconic "What hafen Vella" line, and he’s so giddy about it!
On TikTok, Michael shared a video of himself lip-syncing to Cristopher’s iconic line while on the set of “It’s Showtime.” As he uttered the line “Vampire right,” Cristopher appeared on the camera and posed with him.
“What haffen?” he wrote in the caption.
In 2013, Cristopher joined the "It's Showtime" segment "Kalokalike" as Taylor Lautner's "Twilight" character, Jacob Black, where he said the now-viral line.
Over a decade later, Cristopher's clip resurfaced causing him to go viral again, and stamp his place in the Philippine internet's hall of fame for memes.
TikTok users as well as celebrities have been dubbing and recreating his iconic lines: "What hafen, Vella? Why you cryin' again? I know, vampire, right? Vampire will feyt to me."
In an interview with GMA News Online, Cristopher said that he was a third-year college student when he joined the segment, and had just made a quick search on the internet to prepare for his performance. He improvised his now-iconic lines.
