“Initially I was really mortified, really embarrassed, and then slowly it turned to more like, ‘This is funny you know,’” sophomore Austin Beam says.
A University of Iowa cheerleader was caught on video with his pants falling down after a wardrobe malfunction at a football game.
Austin Beam, 19, was performing a backflip in an end zone as thousands of University of Iowa fans looked on. Halfway through the jump, Beam’s yellow pants fell to his ankles while he was mid-air. With the whole stadium watching, the cheerleader still landed the perfect finish.
The sophomore spoke with Inside Edition about his now viral trouser troubles.
“All of a sudden I felt like some wind between my legs, and I said, That’s not like supposed to happen usually,’” Beam says.
Beam says he is taking the embarrassing viral moment in stride and is glad everyone is getting a chuckle out of the situation.
The Hawkeyes even won the game in a 41-10 victory against Western Michigan.
“Initially I was really mortified, really embarrassed, and then slowly it turned to more like, ‘This is funny you know,’” Beam says.
