As if you needed another reason to adore Céline Dion, she's here to provide you with another one. Dion gave fans a gift on Christmas Eve when she dressed up as the Grinch in a hilarious video just in time for the holiday.
In the funny clip, Céline is in head-to-toe Grinch, complete with furry green makeup while sitting by the fire pit with her dog on her lap — also dressed up as Grinch's faithful furry friend Max (yes, he was wearing the one reindeer antler). She humorously recited a monologue from the 2000 film How the Grinch Stole Christmas, originally performed by Jim Carrey, about the Grinch's busy schedule. Dion said, "Even if I wanted to go, my schedule wouldn't allow it! Four o'clock, wallow in self pity," and so on, until she finally expressed, "I'm booked!"
Dion added her own twist to the scene, listing whimsical tasks like "solve world hunger, tell no one" and "scroll TikTok videos endlessly." She also sang parts of her hit song 'All by Myself,' adding a musical touch to the Grinch's solitary lifestyle. Dion captioned the post, "Silent night? Not on my watch…"
The video comes after Dion's Thanksgiving message promoting peace and gratitude. Despite her diagnosis of stiff-person syndrome in 2022, which has limited her public appearances, Dion has continued to engage with her fans through social media. And even as the neurological disorder has affected her voice and caused her to cancel a planned world tour, the star's comedic portrayal of the Grinch brought joy to her followers, showcasing her ability to entertain even in challenging times.
