Doing a high five seems pretty easy. We teach babies how to do it at a very young age and they have no problem learning the lesson. Therefore, you would think everyone can do it. Right?
Well, Cate Blanchett cannot do one to save her life. A little factoid we learned on Live with Kelly and Ryan today. The Oscar winner tried to high five Kelly Ripa and almost missed. Thankfully the morning show host knows the secret to the perfect high five. It is all in the elbow. Look at the person’s elbow as you both try to connect hands and you will never miss.
How did Blanchett do? She missed, but that is because she did not talk to the elbow. When her eyes looked down, it worked. Thus, if she can do it, then anyone can do it. The next time she wins an Oscar, she will be all ready to high five everyone that offers one. That is if she remembers the trick.
Does the trick work? Try it for yourself to find out.
