Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian claims he always is in the mood for a “costume party”. Remember how, in November 2023, the Reddit co-founder appeared in 19th-century attire as a party guest for his elder daughter’s performance of The Nutcracker in Florida? Now, he is back with another mind-blowing attire, the Gladiator! While he amuses his followers with his new look, he also reveals his excitement about an upcoming movie. So, what is it?

Ohanian revealed his love for classic films with a quirky attitude. Needless to say, the entire nation is excited about the release of the epic historical action film Gladiator II. Directed by Ridley Scott, Gladiator II is a sequel to the classic Gladiator and shows events two decades after the first film’s events. After the initial announcement in 2018, people couldn’t hold their breath to get their eyes on the sequel and Serena Williams’ husband was surely one of them.

He took to his official IG profile and dropped a reel where his followers saw him in a Gladiator costume. Adding the soundtrack, The Battle from the Gladiator to the reel, this Reddit co-founder urged people to watch the movie when it releases in the United States on the 22nd of November. “Every day is a good day for a costume party. Also, go see Gladiator II when it comes out. It’s great fun.”

Ohanian’s IG story highlighted that promoting the movie wasn’t his only idea. He wore the costume to entertain Olympia and his friends who had quite a great Halloween-themed party on the weekend. In one of his IG stories, people saw the kids smashing a giant paper owl hanging from the tree while Ohanian cheered for them from the background. From the overall vibe, it seemed the party had a battleground theme. Nonetheless, it showcased great fun while highlighting Ohanian’s dedication to bringing a smile to his kid’s face.

People might be surprised to see Olympia’s father donning a funny costume for his daughter. However, they don’t know the things Serena Williams‘ husband loves to do for Olympia. From making beautiful pancakes inspired by Disney princesses to happily being Olympia’s personal umbrella holder, Ohanian’s love for Olympia has no limit.

Alexis Ohanian called himself Olympia’s “personal umbrella holder” at the Paris Olympics

In the Paris Olympics this year, Serena Williams was one of the torch-bearers and attended the ceremony with her elder daughter and husband. However, Eurosport’s commentator failed to recognize the Reddit co-founder and called him Serena Williams’ umbrella holder. “She [Serena] looks absolutely incredible. She’s got someone just behind us holding an umbrella. Those are the levels you aspire to. To have an actual umbrella holder behind you.” Said Laura Woods, the commentator. This didn’t bother Ohanian at all. His light-hearted reaction expressed he loved this statement about his wife. However, when he posted an image of the moment on his IG profile, he called himself Olympia’s personal umbrella holder too. “I’m also Olympia’s personal umbrella holder. Sidebar: Y’all set the bar too low for me [laughing emoji] celeb dads get flowers just for *acknowledging* they have kids,” wrote Ohanian. His words echoed his love for Olympia. At the same time, he mentioned how the media often flatter celebrity fathers for doing their roles.

Alexis Ohanian’s social media posts scream about his love for his daughters. However, this time, he also revealed his love for movies. Following Gladiator II coming to the theatres soon, Ohanian’s followers might consider watching it and sharing their experiences with the Reddit co-founder.
