People Love Watching ‘Happy’ Pharrell Cry for Oprah (Video)

The clip from an upcoming episode of OWN’s “Oprah Prime” went viral and has been a top trending topic since Monday

“Happy” singer Pharrell Williams cried joyous tears for Oprah Winfrey on Monday’s episode of “Oprah Prime,” and the internet can’t get enough of it.

The clip (above) has been a trending topic on social media since it was released early Monday morning ahead of the OWN broadcast, in which Winfrey shows the Grammy-winning hip hop artist and producer a montage of people from around the world dancing to the tune written for “Despicable Me 2.”

“Why am I crying on Oprah?” Williams joked after Winfrey handed him a tissue. “It’s overwhelming because I love what I do, and I just appreciate the fact that people have believed in me for so long, that I could make it to this point. To feel that…sorry.”

“I get it. I really get it,” Winfrey said. “I so now get why it’s so infectious. Because it came from such a clear space, that the energy was absolutely uninterrupted by anything, other than allowing it to flow form heart to heart.”
