While people never ask to pose in photos with people who save lives like doctors or nurses, society has a curious obsession with photographing celebrities or getting autographs from them. Some of these celebrities are groundbreaking innovators that bring beautiful things into the world and some use their craft to bring joy to the people.
Some of them are just famous for being famous, take the Kardashians for example.
A man who goes by the name @HonoredSpirit on Twitter told us the hilarious story about one of his friends who spotted actor Matthew Broderick in public and asked to take a photo with his daughter.
This story is basically the facepalm of all facepalms.
While the man was starstruck by Broderick he didn’t realize that there was an equally brilliant celebrity standing next to Broderick who has brought laughter to millions of people all over the world who he brushed off and dismissed.
We present to you “The Matthew Broderick Story”:
“A few years ago a friend of mine took his family out to Montauk on vacation and had stopped at a little store to get snacks, etc, and who do they see but that Star of Stage and Screen, Matthew Broderick.
…also in the store with a friend. So my friend politely asks Broderick if he will take a photo with his daughter. Broderick gallantly obliges, but this is a once in a lifetime photo and he wants it to be just right…
…so he asks Broderick’s friend to kind of move to the side a bit out of frame, and he moves a bit. And my friend says, just a little more, a little more, keeps doing the nudging motion with his hand. Lots of nudging. Okay he wont move any farther, fine, we can crop him out…
…and they take the picture and go back to the car all big grins to the rest of the family, who all shout in unison WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?”
I mean, how the heck do you not know who Jerry Seinfeld is?!?! And how the heck do you not know who Jerry Seinfeld is but do know who Matthew Broderick is?!?! *BIGGEST FACEPALM OF ALL TIME*
@HonoredSpirit’s post ended up going viral and the internet fell in love with it.
“This was the best day of Matthew Broderick’s life,” wrote one Twitter commenter.
