Viral video: One Direction, Justin Bieber and Kanye West

One Direction

One Direction launched action/1D, part of a global citizens’ movement, in July and asked fans to send photos and videos calling out for change. Niall, Harry, Liam and Louis introduce a film made with contributions by youngsters from 172 countries. Another music superstar hoping to make a difference is Kanye West, who announced his intention to run for president in 2020. Jimmy Kimmel thinks the rap star has a lot in common with one of this year’s candidates, Donald Trump. The question from Justin Bieber, whose latest video has attracted nearly 20m views, is What Do You Mean?

A Vine called Duck Army has sent the whole internet quackers, with a host of spoofs and mash-ups including Duck Army reversed, an Adele mash-up and a Kanye West mash-up. Our own Keith Stuart has even created his own, which combines Duck Army with the video game Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, which is released this week.

It was lucky there were no ducks about when farmer Derek Klingenberg went fishing using his drone. This week’s thrills and spills come from PashaBumchik who takes a ride on top of a metro train – don’t try that one at home.

Finally, Game of Thrones fans will love our clip that turns Joffrey into the hero of the cult series and Eddie Redmayne’s huge fanbase can enjoy a sneak peek at the trailer for his new film, The Danish Girl, in which he plays Lili Elbe. The movie is out in the new year and is tipped to win him a second consecutive Oscar for best actor. Keep watching!
