You’ve probably seen this story in your newsfeed recently, and for good reason. It’s pretty hilarious.
A man who stole beer from a store in Blackpool, England, was captured on surveillance camera, and pretty much everyone agrees that the thief looks a lot like Ross from the hit TV show Friends. Take a look…
There’s no mistaking that face. This guy looks just like actor David Schwimmer. The police noticed it too and sent out a tweet just so everyone could rest easy and they confirmed it was not, in fact, Mr. Schwimmer who committed the crime.
People on Twitter had thoughts, mostly Friends-related, about the incident that blew up on social media.
And Schwimmer himself even got in on the act.
Officers, I swear it wasn’t me.
As you can see, I was in New York.
To the hardworking Blackpool Police, good luck with the investigation.#itwasntme pic.twitter.com/EDFF9dZoYR— schwim (@DavidSchwimmer) October 24, 2018
Police did eventually arrest a 36-year-old man for the crime. What a case of mistaken identity…
