Double Rainbow (viral video)
Double Rainbow is a viral video filmed by Paul "Bear" Vasquez (September 5, 1962[1] – May 9, 2020). The clip, filmed in his front yard just outside Yosemite National Park, in the U.S. state of California, shows his excited reaction to a double rainbow. Vasquez's video has had more than 47 million views on YouTube.[2]
In 2011, Vasquez appeared in a commercial for Vodafone New Zealand,[3] making fun of the video.
The video appeared as the first scene of the 2013 movie We're the Millers.[4] Two years earlier, Bear had appeared in Jennifer Aniston's ad for Smartwater.
Vasquez died at his home in Mariposa, California on May 9, 2020 from a possible case of COVID-19, aged 57.[5]
