What do you do with your hands? Paul McCartney’s disturbing gesture that generates confusion on social networks

In the last few hours, a video has gone viral on X in which Paul McCartney is seen making a curious gesture in an interview for the television program Friday night with Jonathan Ross.

The video already has more than a million views. This is a screen recording of a YouTube clip uploaded five years ago to that social network.

The cut aroused curiosity in X for a particular gesture that the Beatles singer makes when he is sitting in the driving seat. The theories, many. Let’s look at the two main ones.

What does Paul McCartney do with his hands in Friday Night With Jonathan Ross?

The strongest conspiracy theory about Paul’s gesture has to do with the Illuminati. For many English people form the triangle containing the with their hands Eye of Providencea frequent symbol associated with that secret organization.

The triangle, for example, appears on dollar bills and on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States. For conspiracy theorists the eye is hidden and visible to everyone at the same time. It is also often seen in Masonic churches and buildings.

“Keep an eye on your society, learn from the Illuminati“, we read in a tweet that appeared in response to the video uploaded by the @ultimocolinesio account.

Others took it more as a joke, taking into account that there is already a conspiracy theory that the real Paul is dead: “I flash to Paul while he drinks a whiskey with a friend telling him: ‘you can’t afford to be the Illuminati’ symbol on the TV'”.

The Eye of Providence is also known as the “all-seeing eye” and is an eyeball within a Masonic triangle.

Another theory about Paul’s gesture is closely linked to Dragon Ball. Yes, with Dragon Ball.

In that anime series, Ten Shin Han is able to release a power by creating that triangular shape with his hands. “Kikoho, what’s so strange?” one person wrote, referring to the name of the character’s signature technique.

What are the Illuminati?

The term refers to the organization Bavarian Illuminatia secret society founded on May 1, 1776 and disbanded in 1785. Its philosophy opposes religious influences and abuses of state power.

It is often mentioned as a cult, since for lovers of conspiracy theories, such as Marco saysits members regrouped secretly and there are people who continue to be part of it to this day.

Another theory about the Illuminati says that they control and manipulate world events. For this reason, US presidents are usually mentioned as participants.
