Senegal forward Nicolas Jackson sparks online frenzy with icy Munich walk

Bayern Munich striker Nicolas Jackson became an overnight internet sensation on Saturday after footage emerged of the Senegal international strolling through a heavy snowstorm in the German capital wearing little more than boxer shorts.

The video, which began circulating on social media platforms early Saturday afternoon, shows the 24-year-old walking calmly down a residential street in Munich.

Despite temperatures hovering well below freezing and visibility being hampered by a thick downfall of snow, Jackson appeared unbothered, wearing only his underwear, sneakers, a beanie, and noise-canceling headphones.

Witnesses and fans who captured the moment expressed disbelief as the forward, currently on loan from Chelsea, navigated the icy pavement with a relaxed gait.

The clip has since garnered millions of views, triggering a wave of memes and lighthearted commentary from the football community. Many fans were quick to draw parallels to his Chelsea teammate Cole Palmer’s famous “Cold” celebration, suggesting that Jackson has taken the persona to a literal extreme.

The “ice man” display comes at a time when Jackson has been finding his feet in the Bundesliga. While some supporters praised his physical toughness and apparent immunity to the Bavarian winter, others voiced humorous concern for his health ahead of Bayern’s upcoming fixtures.

Jackson, known for his eccentric and high-energy personality, seems to have embraced the local climate in a way few expected.
