Eden Hazard once burst into a fit of uncontrollable laughter after hearing his former Chelsea team-mate Branislav Ivanovic attempt to speak English.
The classic clip, which you can watch below, resurfaced on Tuesday after Ivanovic celebrated his 38th birthday.
The footage was taken from a charity event back in 2015, when Hazard and Ivanovic were team-mates at Stamford Bridge.
A group of players were asked to record a message of support for the charity Human Appeal.

Former Chelsea captain John Terry begins the message before Ivanovic takes over, with Hazard unable to contain his laughter at the Serbian’s attempt to speak English.
The group, which also included Demba Ba and Samuel Eto’o, also bursts into laughter at the expense of the defender.
The players finally recover their composure and just about manage to nail a second take, which results in a round of applause.
Hazard remembers the event fondly, telling Jay Shetty in 2019: “That’s the best video ever.

“I swear even now when I’m looking at the video, I’m laughing my friend. Just talking about it, it makes me laugh.”
Ivanovic had a slow start at Chelsea after joining from Lokomotiv Moscow in 2008 but would go on to score 34 goals in 377 appearances for the club.
He won nine major trophies during his time with the Blues, including the Premier League three times as well as the Champions League, before leaving to join Russian side Zenit Saint Petersburg in 2017.

Hazard, meanwhile, left Chelsea to join Real Madrid in an £89m move in 2019.
He has endured a frustrating career at the Bernabeu, managing just six goals since arriving in Madrid.
According to Spanish journalist Ramon Alvarez, Real are now in talks to loan Hazard back to Chelsea.

The move is said to be a straight loan deal, with a permanent option, that would see Hazard return to Madrid in 2023.
