X user @TheFigen_ posted the clip.

The caption read:

"He walks like a gorilla, and he's so good at it! His name is Hassan Michael."

In the 22-second clip, Michael is seen knuckle-walking with his broad shoulders, powerful gait and uncanny and distinctive resemblance to a gorilla.

A form of quadrupedal walking in which the forelimbs hold the fingers in a partially flexed posture, knuckle-walking sees body weight pressing down on the ground through the knuckles.

In the wild, gorillas and chimpanzees use this style of locomotion, as do anteaters and platypuses.

Gorillas walk on all fours, with the fingers on the hands of the front two limbs folded inward. Its forearm and wrist bones lock together to sustain the animal's weight and create a strong supporting structure.

So, standing on two legs for an extended period would eventually become painful. Gorillas are sometimes known to walk upright when danger is present.
