Hundreds of people gathered in downtown Chicago on Sunday to try to push the Bean seven inches to the left.

Crowds gathered at Millennium Park on Sunday afternoon in what started as a viral social media event. Then flyers started showing up around town.

The plan was simple: push Chicago’s famous Bean (officially a statue named Cloud Gate by Anish Kapoor) seven inches to the left.

But why?

Well, internet folklore has long claimed that there’s a man stuck inside the Bean. Event organizers said moving him would free him up.

Unsurprisingly, the group was unable to move the 110-ton stainless steel sculpture.

The origin of “The Man in the Beanstalk” Internet Rumors are unclear, but this satirical claim was enough to spark protests in the Loop in 2025 in front of the statue, and even got a response from Governor JB Pritzker. A mockumentary titled “Man in the Bean” was released on YouTube earlier this year.
