Alec Baldwin sparked confusion among followers by sharing an Instagram selfie with a man he introduced as actor Antonio Banderas during a family birthday trip to the Dominican Republic. The 68-year-old actor captioned the photo, ‘In the DR, I run into @antoniobanderas.’
Fans React to the Mix-Up
Many fans puzzled over the image, with one commenting, ‘April Fools? He totally doesn’t look like Banderas.’ Others needed a closer look to confirm it was not the real Spanish star, who recently appeared at a movie premiere on March 11. One follower noted, ‘I just looked and he’s a complete ringer for Antonio, whoa! If I hadn’t seen this video I would’ve thought it WAS ANTONIO.’ Another added, ‘I knew it wasn’t Antonio, but I still had to zoom in to be sure. Thanks for the laughs.’
Hilaria Baldwin quickly addressed the buzz in her own post, revealing that she and Alec spotted a local man who strongly resembled Banderas and decided to play a prank on their audience.
