Hey, the cold never bothered her anyway, right? Video of a drag queen dressed like Queen Elsa of Arendelle has gone viral after a blizzard blanketed Boston on Tuesday night and this unexpected hero came to the rescue of a stuck police truck. It all started with city resident Chris Haynes eating tacos at South End restaurant The Gallows. When he took a peek outside to see how much snow was falling, Haynes was taken aback to find a man dressed like a certain Frozen character helping out Boston's finest. “Yup, that just happened,” Haynes wrote as a caption on Facebook upon sharing the video, which has been viewed over 3.9 million times. He added: “Drag ‘Elsa’ just single-handedly pushed out a stuck police wagon. Only in the South End and The Gallows.” According to The Boston Globe, the Elsa impersonator was Jason Triplett, a 37-year-old lawyer from Boston who had no real motivation for donning this costume aside from making his friends laugh. In the viral footage, Triplett repeatedly tries to free the wagon from the snow until, at long last, he succeeds. “That’s what makes the video so special, I think,” Haynes told Boston.com. “Because of his persistence.” One might (annoyingly) say that, when it came to this task, Triplett refused to LET IT GO until he pushed the van to freedom. Everyone inside the restaurant cheered loudly after Triplett accomplished his feat, which prompted a curtsy from the pretend queen. “The officers involved were especially grateful for the help and would like to thank the Elsa-impersonator for the assist,” Boston Police Officer James Kenneally, a spokesman for the department, told the aforementioned newspaper. “Everyone will be over it by noon,” Triplett himself told People Magazine of his fame. “But if this is my 15 minutes, I would like to leverage it to meet Adam Rippon.” HA!
