Los Angeles – Ellen DeGeneres gathered some of Hollywood’s elite to join her for a selfie with Meryl Streep.
While stars like Jared Leto and Angelina Jolie were struggling to get in on the action, Lupita Nyong'o’s absolutely adorable brother sneaked in to get a prime spot in the selfie that brought Twitter to a standstill.
By Monday afternoon, it had been retweeted some 2.8 million times, shattering the previous record of 810 000 retweets for the photo of President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama hugging after the 2012 election. Twitter was humming at 254 644 tweets per minute after DeGeneres' request, and the company said the crush disrupted service for 20 minutes.
