Dancing sign language interpreter during Atlanta Pride is fabulous! And you may recognize him.

He was translating "Get Me Bodied" by Beyoncé during the event.

ATLANTA — Atlanta Pride brought out people of all walks of life for a weekend filled with festivities celebrating the city's LGBTQ+ community. 

One man may have stolen the show on Sunday.

Queen Bey, watch out. David Cowan slayed it. 

While translating "Get Me Bodied" by Beyoncé, Cowan caught the eyes of the crowd with his jubilant interpretation.

And you may recognize Cowan. He is usually by the governor's side during state press conferences, including most recently during Hurricane Dorian preparations. 

Cowan, who is deaf himself, has been working as an Atlanta Pride interpreter since 2000, according to Georgia Voice. In 2017, he was the parade's grand marshal. 

Social media was talking all about Cowan after the performance, including Jeremy and Gabby Turner who captured the video

One user on Reddit said: "Yeah he’s the best! I saw him interpret a speech by civil rights leader and congressman John Lewis and he is so full of passion and enthusiasm. He is one of Atlanta’s treasures, to be sure."

The video was also shared by Nyle DiMarco, a deaf actor and model who won Dancing with the Stars in 2015.

Cowan thanked DiMarco on Twitter - and posted a picture with the two of them together.

"Thank you, @NyleDiMarco for posting this .... That crazy guy is me ! It was located at Atlanta Pride event. There were several different songs at the event."
