A Russian baby with an uncanny laugh looks set to become the Internet's next big celebrity, after a video of it laughing like a supervillain chalked up more than 1.5 million views this week alone, a news report said.
The 40-second video, posted Monday to YouTube, opens with a cute-looking baby giggling into the camera.
But as the video progresses, the child's laugh becomes increasingly reminiscent of a supervillain who has just succeeded in plotting world domination.
It appears at one stage as though the baby is about to cry, but something catches its attention and it continues to cackle.
The baby is believed to come from Russia, Britain's The Daily Mail reported Thursday, without specifying exactly where.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
