It’s not the first time the celebrity chef has tried the hog the limelight while rubbing shoulders with football stars.

His followers have slammed an "uncomfortable" resurfaced Instagram video with Kylian Mbappe.

Sitting alongside the steakhouse magnate, Mbappe can be heard saying: "It was a good night.

"A pleasure to come with my man."

Salt Bae replies: "Always."

The pair shake hands and Mbappe winks at the camera before Salt Bae gives the footballer a kiss on the cheek.

The chef's followers said Mbappe appeared "uncomfortable" in the awkward footage from July 2021.

One said: "Mbappe was uncomfortable as f***!!"

In another video, he can be seen gyrating back and forth while cutting steak for Bayern Munich and Barcelona star Lewandowski.

His behaviour has landed well among some of his followers with one writing: “What an idiotic restaurant clown.”

It’s not only celebrities that Salt Bae has cringeworthy moments with - his customers also get to enjoy that privilege.
