He rubs his hands together with a wide grin, his expression radiating eager anticipation and mild mischief. Blurred autumn leaves fill the background. The format works because the hand-rubbing gesture is universally recognized as \"I cannot wait for this\" or \"something good is about to happen and I am ready for it.\" For a similar scheming energy, see Disaster Girl (watching chaos unfold). For less mischief and more confidence, see Leonardo DiCaprio Cheers (toasting to yourself).","format":"classic","howToMake":["Anthony Adams is already hiding behind the tree, hands rubbing.

His grin is wide and knowing. His eyes look directly at something off-camera with the energy of someone who has been waiting for this moment. Autumn foliage blurs behind him in golds and oranges. The tree barely conceals him; he is not trying to be subtle. He is here for the show.","definition":"Anthony Adams peers from behind a tree in a yellow blazer, rubbing his hands together with eager excitement.
