Not just any croissant. A croissant bigger than your head.
In the photo, Griffin, 34, and Sadeiko, 31, can be seen trying to chew the gigantic pastry on both sides.
The former NFL No. 2 overall selection closed his eyes as he took a bite while holding the croissant in both hands, making the image even more hilarious.
“It’s always croissant time in Paris,” wrote RGIII in the caption.
The photo went viral and Griffin’s followers realized it had huge meme-generating potential, considering her awkward pose.
And Hart, 29, tried to warn the former Baylor standout.
“This might be the craziest tweet I’ve ever seen. I don’t know if Jesus himself could make me post this,” said the Knicks forward he wroteadding a laughing emoji when sharing the photo on X.
Others joined in and laughed at the unfortunate post.
