Probably the most commonly-used word to describe Zlatan Ibrahimovic is "antics." Both on and off the field, the big Swedish striker's antics are at the forefront, and have made him both loved and hated among football fans.
Antics come in many forms. Antics can be telling a reporter you didn't get your wife anything for Christmas because "she already has Zlatan." Antics can be writing "I won the crashing your car tournament" in your autobiography. Antics can be trying an overhead kick from an implausibly far distance and actually scoring. Antics can be doing this.
In the most recent case, antics can be stealing a fan's hat when he's taking a selfie with you.

Then signing it and giving it back, of course. How many players would do this, much less get away with it? Only one. And why would he do that? Because he knew he could get away with it.
Because Zlatan is the boss.
