Olympic gymnast Simone Biles is giving fans a glimpse of her goofy side in a video that shows her coming out of an anesthetic haze after surgery to have her wisdom teeth removed.
Biles posted the video on Twitter on Thursday. She appears on a recovery room bed with gauze in her mouth, yelling something incomprehensible and pretending to drive a car. Biles says she hopes the 27-second clip makes people laugh.
The 20-year-old Biles says the full video is 14 minutes long. She says, "Other parts are hilarious too!"
Biles won four gold medals and a bronze medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
