Jools Lebron’s “very demure, very mindful” meme was one of the biggest viral trends of 2024, and it became so popular that even Ralph Fiennes took notice. The acclaimed actor put his own twist on this trend while making an appearance on CNN‘s New Year’s Eve, and his monologue quickly went viral.
Fiennes joined hosts Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper during CNN‘s New Year’s Eve to discuss his Golden Globe-nominated performance in Conclave, and the most epic moment came at the very end of the interview. Andy Cohen asked him to recreate the “very demure” monologue after showing him the clip earlier, and his version set the internet on fire.
Fiennes’ version was so hilarious that the hosts couldn’t contain their amusement, especially when Fiennes started to wrap things up by saying, “Be mindful of why they hired you. Here’s a reality check, diva. What’s the name you want me to make it out to?”
“Demure” was named the word of the year by Dictionary.com after it went viral thanks to the TikTok creator Jools Lebron. After she posted a recent video of her New Year’s Eve outfit, her comment section was filled with comments referencing Fiennes’ “very demure” monologue inspired by her viral video which attracted over 50 million views on TikTok.
