In the 56-second video, Harry and Charlie were seen sitting on a sofa. Charlie bites Harry’s finger, and he laughs and says, “Charlie bit my finger.” Seconds later, Harry again offered Charlie his finger, and the latter bites it, this time with more pressure than Harry expected. Because of this moment and more shared by their parents, Harry, who was then aged three, and Charlie, 1, ended up starring in one of the first big viral YouTube clips.
Harry was 3-years-old and Charlie was aged 1 when the original video was filmed.
