If you cast your minds back to 2017, you may remember things like Donald Trump being sworn into office and Prince Harry’s engagement to Meghan Markle – but there’s another key moment you may have forgotten about.That year, Professor Robert Kelly gave an interview on the BBC from his home as he shared his thoughts on the political crisis in South Korea at the time.However, viewers (and Robert himself) ended up being a little distracted when two small people crashed his interview – those being his young children.First his daughter Marion, then four, marched into the room gleefully. As the BBC reporter in the studio told him about the adorable intruder, Robert stayed locked into the interview and tried to push Marion away while still looking at the camera.
But the chaos didn’t stop there. Then his son, James, who was just a few months old at the time, came into the room in his walker.Next thing you know and Robert’s wife Jung-a Kim came crashing into the room to grab the kids so he could continue his interview.Of course, the interview snippet went on to go viral. To date, the clip has generated 65 million views on the BBC’s YouTube channel.With his unexpected stardom in mind, Robert has given updates on his kids over the years and in a recent one shared snaps of Marion, now 13, and James, 10″Some BBC Dad content,” Robert penned on Twitter alongside some photos. “It’s been awhile: My birthday; James and I hiking; Marion looking very grown-up; BBC Mom and I at a street festival.”Robert told the Guardian at the time of the interview that both he and Jung-a thought the mishap ‘was the end of my career as a talking head’, adding: “I thought I’d blown it in front of the whole world.”Thankfully, he couldn’t have been more wrong.
