The French international has settled into Bavaria over the past five months following his £50million move from Crystal Palace.
Olise is flourishing alongside his teammates, nearly reaching double digits in both goals and assists in his first season.
However, the 23-year-old looked a bit out of place during the festive photos and the singing of ‘Jingle Bells’ at a recent club gathering.
Clips of the German squad singing the Christmas classic gained traction online.
Most of the team, including England captain Harry Kane, was in high spirits for the celebration – unlike Olise.
He maintained a blank expression as his teammates joyfully sang along.
Football fans quickly recognized his disinterest in the festivities, with one remarking: “Man doesn’t dance.”
Another added, “Nonchalant final boss.”
One user stated, “He’s just really cool.”

“He seems uninterested in socializing, solely focused on the game.”

Another remarked, “He’s just a shy guy who requires time to acclimate.”
Wing star Olise is thriving in the Bundesliga.
The London-born Frenchman has scored nine goals and provided nine assists over 23 appearances across all competitions this season.
Bayern’s coach Vincent Kompany was not surprised by Olise’s impressive start, stating in September: “This is precisely what we anticipated.”
“I believe he’s making a significant impact, which is quite tough when you’ve just joined a club like Bayern.”
“He will continue to progress forward.”
“From my perspective, it’s very promising, but I remain composed, as I know it’s vital to sustain his current mindset for ongoing success.”
