British actor Louis Partridge , the beau of pop singer Olivia Rodrigo , dropped shocking face emojis to a boodle fight spread he encountered. The “Enola Holmes” actor accompanied the American singer with Pinoy heritage on her Manila Silver Star Show for her “ GUTS ” world tour at the Philippine Arena on Saturday, October 5. Louis was able to immerse himself in Filipino culture when he was presented with a boodle fight spread by Pinoy chef and restaurateur JP Anglo , consisting of various Filipino foods with sauces.
The spread was traditionally set on large banana leaves. The actor tagged the chef and shared his reaction, featuring three shocking face emojis. He also included a heart emoji below.
The chef reposted Louis’ IG Story in his own account. It also caught the attention of Filipinos who were amused by the actor’s reaction. “I know the white man in him is gagged,” a Pinoy “Livvie” wrote on the X (formerly Twitter) platform.
Her post has gained 40,000 likes and 2,900 reposts. In internet slang, “gagged” means to be extremely shocked or at loss for words. A boodle fight is a Filipino tradition with military roots in which diners eat a spread of assorted food served on top of banana fronds with their bare hands.
Days before Louis’ post, JP shared a video featuring grilled bangus (milkfish) belly sinigang prepared at his restaurant at Sarsa in Makati City on a “Gutsy Saturday night.” He also included Olivia’s “deja vu” as background music.
