Twitter was freaked tf out by the man at the Grammys in skeleton makeup

From Cosmopolitan

While Ariana Grande's incredible princess dress undoubtedly stole the show on the Grammys red carpet, viewers couldn't help but be distracted by the man in skeleton makeup during the ceremony itself.

The Grammy Awards saw a whole host of big names take to the stage. From the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato performing to Dua Lipa and Alicia Keys presenting, it was a show of stand out (and awkward!) moments.

And one person who social media users honed in on was the audience member in full skeleton face paint. "Who is the guy in white/black skeleton face paint at the #GRAMMYs," one person tweeted, while another said, 'Can anyone shed some light on the skeleton face paint man seated in row two? lmao #GRAMMYs".

A third added, "Nobody is going to acknowledge the skeleton sitting next to Blake and Gwen?! #Grammys," while someone else commented, "Folks: who’s my guy wearing the skeleton up close?"

During the show, it emerged the skeleton man in question was not an extra from The Walking Dead, but rather 19-year-old Prince Nasir Dean, the son of American producer Swizz Beats and Alicia Keys' step-son. That might explain why the presenter was so casual about it during her sweep of the audience!

Dean is hopeful DJ and producer in the making, who performs under the name Note Marcato. According to People, the skeleton face is his "signature look", and the Grammys isn't the first time the teenager has gone in 100% on it.

Do you think we can use that excuse next time we look like death at work, too?
