Boxing’s only octuple world champion, Manny Pacquiao, has terrorized almost all of his opponents for over two decades. However, his outer-ring approach has scarcely been intimidating. Pacquiao’s humble gestures and friendly media interactions turned him into a fan-favorite character.

At the 2014 ESPYs, presenter Damian Lillard took over the show before Drake made his subtle entry as Manny Pacquiao. He imitated Pacquiao’s accent, and hardly anyone could catch it. Drake even sang Frozen’s Let It Go in Pacquiao’s voice.
