Shaun Sperling made headlines and inspired millions on the Internet when he posted a video of himself from 1992, dancing to Madonna’s “Vogue” at his bar mitzvah. Sperling’s routine – part of an entire Madonna-themed 13th birthday celebration – was soon featured everywhere online, from Gawker to Reddit and beyond. What’s Trending’s Shira Lazar sat down with Sperling to discuss his Madonna obsession, his decision to post the video, what he hopes people take away from his performance. Sperling is now an attorney in Chicago, but hopes that his “Vogue” dance inspires other people to be themselves and to never hesitate to fully express who they are.
