Forget planking, it looks like owling is the new craze.
A number of stars including Chris Brown, Katy Perry and Rosario Dawson have recently joined an online game called ‘planking’, which sees participants taking photographs of themselves lying still like a plank of wood in unusual locations.
‘Planking’ has taken the web by storm in recent months, but Hilary Duff has now come out in support of a new internet trend – ‘owling’, which involves crouching like an owl instead of lying flat.
Duff posted a picture on Twitter which shows her crouched on her dining table, sticking her tongue out at her bemused husband Mike Comrie. The singer/actress added a caption referencing the recent freeway closure in Los Angeles, nicknamed ‘Carmaggedon’, insisting she decided to stay home ‘owling’ instead.
She wrote, “Didn’t wanna hit Carmaggedon so I’m just owling all weekend.”
Also getting in on the craze were Joe Jonas and Radio DJ Jojo Wright. They tweeted, "Not sure if you knew this, but @JoJoWright and @joejonas love to “OWL” together."
“90210” star Matt Lanter also posted a pic of himself owling while hiking over the weekend. We caught up with Matt at the Captain America premiere to talk about this new craze.
What do you think of owling & planking? What will be the next big craze?
