Shaquille O’Neal just gave fans another reason to love him and laugh with him, as he posted a hilarious and wholesome video of himself grocery shopping at Sprouts Farmers Market. The NBA legend and business mogul showed that despite his fame, he’s still just a regular guy, who loves cookies, healthy meals, and surprising strangers with his presence.
The video opens with Shaq casually strolling into the store and declaring, “Yeah, I do my own shopping.”
Not long after, he makes a beeline to the cookie aisle. “Oh hell yeah, cookies,” he says with a childlike grin, reaching out like a kid about to sneak a snack.
But just as he goes in for the grab, a Sprouts employee hilariously smacks his hand and says, “No cookies for you, fat boy.”
Fans couldn’t get enough. In classic Shaq fashion, he rolled with the joke, laughed it off, and moved along, but seriously, let the man have his cookies.
Shaq then shifts gears and heads to the ready-made meal section, something he openly admits he loves.
“Today I’m looking for the ready-made healthy meals. Heat and eat, my favorite section.”
He proceeds to load his cart with chicken and veggies, mushroom dishes, and protein-packed meals, showing he’s serious about balancing fun with fitness, especially as he continues his well-publicized weight-loss journey.
But being Shaq, it wasn’t just a shopping trip, it turned into a mini meet-and-greet. Ever the generous giant, he took photos with fans and store employees, flashing that iconic smile and spreading joy in the most casual way possible. After checking out, he closed with a cheeky line to the camera:
“For all of those who don’t think I do my own shopping.”
