It turns out that Nelson Howe, the New York professor now beloved throughout the realm for his rich knowledge of Thai swear words, is also quite a smooth dancer – and less surprisingly, a bit of a ham.
The 78-year-old philosophy professor now known as the “swearing farang” for a viral video that has received nearly 1.5 million views in four days is also a dance performer and teacher with a professional dance background, performing for three years in the United States and United Kingdom during the late ‘60s.
Fun times.
He also has an awesome Facebook page which has now reached 7,500 likes, with a large Thai fanbase who most frequently comment: “John, John, John.”
Just check out the video lulz if that doesn’t make sense already:
