Huang Xiaoming typing like a grandma is the cutest thing you'll see today

He's got the looks, the talent, and the personality. But here's what Huang Xiaoming doesn't have — typing skills.

The 41-year-old actor took on the role of guest editor at website Sina Entertainment on Monday (Aug 5) to promote his new movie The Bravest, in which he plays a fearless firefighter.

But if you're wondering just how well Xiaoming fared as an editor, let's just say that it's a good thing he has his acting career to fall back on.

A video of Xiaoming carrying out his editorial duties and struggling to type on a keyboard was widely shared on Chinese social media recently, amusing netizens to no end.

In the video, Xiaoming can be seen typing at a snail's pace with his two index fingers, grandma-style. On second thought, I think my grandma might even be faster than him.

Furrowing his brow from the effort, he admitted, "To be honest, I'm sweating right now."

A woman can be heard in the background of the video saying, "Don't rush him."

Netizens were tickled by Xiaoming's endearing attempt at typing.

This netizen had a very practical suggestion:

Xiaoming even joined in to poke fun at himself, uploading a picture of a sloth from the movie Zootopia with the caption: "Heard this was me yesterday at Sina."

Wonder how long he took to type that.
