Yesterday he posted a casual tweet “I’ll go naked to Circle K if I get more than 3,000 Twitter followers”. (Circle K is a local minimarket) The rest is history: in only a few hours he did not only get 3,000 followers, but more than 13,000 followers and still counting.

The amazing part is: He stood true to his words and kept his promise!

At 00.05 AM Indonesian time Wednesday, Joko Anwar was shopping at Circle K… fully naked, and people all over Indonesia are watching (both on-site and via Twitter).
