Everyone can achieve fame at any time and in the most unexpected way.
This is what has happened to
Anne Hughes
, a 71-year-old retiree, who is the new viral sensation thanks to a video circulating on
TikTok
of the woman hanging from an automatic closing of a store.
The incident occurred in
Tonteg, Wales
.
In that small town, located northwest of Cardiff, a security camera captured Anne's coat getting caught in the metal closure of a store just as the owner was putting it up.
The woman was left hanging almost two meters high for a few moments until the business owner arrived and held her in his arms while they lowered the automatic closure again and managed to free her.
The woman
did not suffer any harm
.
Anne is now a viral phenomenon in the
United Kingdom
, where she has been interviewed by several media outlets, who have dubbed her 'SuperAnne'.
"I'm learning to live with fame," the woman, whose video hanging upside down already has more than two million views, jokingly commented.
"The blind was completely open, so I shouted his (the owner's) name, and thank God he came out, lowered the blind a little and managed to take me in his arms. I remember telling him
'just hold my head'
. I was afraid of falling, "I was pointing towards the ground," he confessed.
But one of the things that has caused the most sensation is that the woman did not let go of her shopping cart when it was being lifted through the door of the store.
Only when she arrived did the owner get rid of her cart.
