Lebanese Man And His Monkey Go Viral For Being The Cutest Duo

This Lebanese TikToker went viral for taking the phrase “monkey on your back” a bit too seriously.

A video of Ali Farkouh and his adorable pet monkey amassed over 80 million views on TikTok, and people loved them so much that it launched their path to TikTok fame. The video shows the monkey helping Ali with his skincare routine, wearing a cute diaper and a look of determination. That would explain why Ali’s skin looks so flawless.

This type of grooming behavior exhibited by monkeys usually signifies love, trust, and acceptance – and it also looks like this isn’t her first rodeo.

Many users fell in love with their videos so much that they wanted to keep up with their day to day. Ali started posting more of what a day in their life looks like (apart from his routine skincare session with the expert dermatologist).

Their cutest video by far is the one where she’s doing his skincare and hurts him by mistake, so she kisses him on the cheek to say she’s sorry:

And she just loves hanging out with Ali, sometimes falling asleep on his shoulders while he’s going about his day:

This monkey is also really obsessed with chips. But honestly, she looks adorable gobbling up a bag of BBQ Twisters followed by a bag of nacho chips. Us on the other hand? Not so much.
