The 2025 Nato Summit in the Netherlands was expected to generate headlines around defence strategies and geopolitical tensions. What no one expected, however, was that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni would emerge as the most talked-about figure. Not for her policy positions, but for her unusually animated facial expressions during a press interaction.
A video clip showing Meloni speaking to reporters, with noticeably exaggerated blinking and facial contortions, quickly made its way across social media platforms.
The footage triggered a mix of curiosity, concern, and humour online.
As the video gained traction, users speculated about what could have caused such expressive gestures, ranging from nerves to caffeine to more outlandish theories. The tone varied, with some treating the clip as comic relief while others offered more empathetic takes.
This isn’t the first time Meloni’s body language has become headline-worthy. During the 2024 G7 roundtable in Canada, a brief but widely viewed moment showed her visibly reacting to French President Emmanuel Macron leaning in to whisper something.
Her pronounced eye roll and subtle lean away from Macron turned into a viral meme, framing her as someone unafraid to display what she’s really thinking, even at a diplomatic table.
