Oscar host Jimmy Kimmel recreated a moment from The Lion King with the little boy from the Academy award nominated Lion, Sunny Pawar.
Kimmel first asked if Sunny had seen The Lion King, to which the kid cutely responds, “Yes, I see it”. The host then goes on to ask if he wants to recreate “the thing” from the film where the Lion King lifts the kid in the air, to which Sunny replies “Yes!”. Kimmel then hands over his mic to Sunny and requests for the Lion King music to play out, and lifts the child actor up in his arms just like Rafiki lifts up baby Simba in the film.
