Hilarious moment: Adorable six-year-old boy reveals the ‘classic role’ he plays in the school nativity scene in a viral video (but it’s not what you’d expect)
A young boy has gone viral after revealing the ‘classic role’ he will play in his school’s Christmas play.
Six-year-old Milo Walton was seemingly excited when his teacher cast him as “Doorkeeper Number 3” in the elementary school’s holiday production.
‘Guess what I am for the nativity scene? I am a classic,” he told his mother in a now-viral TikTok video, leading her to suspect he had been cast in the lead role of Joseph, one of the three wise men or an innkeeper.
“I’m door holder number 3. I hold the doors!” Milo explained, adding that he was excited by the news: “I thought, ‘I’m a door opener. Get in! Let’s go! Yes!’
Milo, who appeared on ITV’s This Morning last week with his mother and grandmother, has now revealed that his new-found internet fame is causing other pupils to keep an eye on his not-so-traditional role in the play.

Milo sat in the backseat of the car as he tried to get his mother Harley Walton to guess what he would be in the upcoming Christmas play.
She listed a range of possible roles before an overjoyed Milo revealed he would be tasked with holding doors open.
‘That is amazing!’ Mrs. Walton told her son. ‘Holding doors open for who?’
He replied, “Um, probably Joseph and Mary.”
Milo confirmed he was “satisfied” with the role, telling his mother: “Maybe because there is no space [in the inn]”I’ll probably just be there, pretending to walk in, and then I’ll slam them in – slam the door in their face.”
Laughing, she asked, “Is that your leading role?”
“Maybe,” Milo replied. “I’ll probably be dressed as a door.”
Milo debuts as Door Holder Number 3 during the school performance on December 12, but has been practicing his role of opening doors. He even opened a door on the show last week

Milo makes his debut as Door Holder Number 3 during the school performance on December 12, but has been practicing his role of opening doors at home.
He even opened a door on live television when he welcomed his mother and grandmother Leanne to the This Morning set before joining Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond on the sofa.
The presenters asked the youngster – who Mr O’Leary joked should be promoted to ‘Door Holder Number 1’ – for the inside scoop on the upcoming production.
Milo revealed that despite his initial thoughts, he won’t be dressed as a door, but will instead be outfitted in “all black” or “all gray.”
However, he can choose how the door he opens is decorated.
“It’s going to be a cardboard door and they’re going to decorate it,” he explained, adding, “I’m going to keep it Star Wars.”
The video, which was first shared on Facebook before appearing on TikTok, has even caught the attention of several celebrities, including Khloe Kardashian. Milo is pictured in the viral clip
Milo also shared that his classmates were excited about his viral video that said his “teacher put it on the board.”
He also claimed that his fellow students now wished they had been cast as door holder number 3.
