AirAsia flight attendant's 'Toxic' recreation gets CEO's support

  • 21/03/2017

Superstar Britney Spears' iconic song 'Toxic' has taken to the sky once more, with an energetic performance by a flight attendant.

Assraf Nasir was alone on the empty A330 when he decided to film his own recreation of the 'Toxic' music video.

His perfect recreation of the 2004 hit was enough to impress his boss, if not Spears herself.

"Classic. Airasia version of Toxic (sic)," AirAsia chief executive Tony Fernandes wrote on Instagram.

"The talent in Airasia never fails to amaze me. @assrafnasir is the best. Love it that staff can just have fun and be themselves."

The uniformed flight attendant faithfully recreated Spears' historic video, including talking on the plane's intercom and seductively walking a drinks trolley down the aisle.

Mr Nasir told the Huffington Post he used to be a performing arts teacher, calling dance his "passion".

"Once a dancer, always a dancer," he said.

"The video was meant to be for some close friends and I didn't expect it would go viral and receive such an overwhelming response, but I guess when you work for a fun company, fun is never far away."
