Honey, I broke into the Capitol.
Film star “Rick Moranis” was hot on Twitter on Sunday – after the FBI posted a photo of a different man who allegedly participated in the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill and has some resemblance to the actor in his heyday.
“You can help the #FBI to identify individuals involved in the January 6 violence at the United States Capitol. Visit http://tips.fbi.gov if you recognize this person. See photo 268 in your tip, ” the FBI tweeted Sunday afternoon next to two photos.
Twitter users quickly noticed the similarities between the helmeted and spotted suspect and the “Darling, I shrunk the kids” star – responding to the dozens with screenshots of the 1987 Star Wars parody, “Spaceballs,” in which Moranis threw glasses and a giant helmet – using a Darth Vader parody called “Dark Helmet”.
“Hey, I think that guy did something to my dentist! He works in a shop on the same street and has a strange plant! ” user joked answered, referring to Moranis’ role as a naive florist with a man-eating plan in the 1986 film “The Little Shop of Horrors”.
Moranis made headlines in October, when a stranger punched him outside his Manhattan apartment, prompting more than one Twitter commentator on Sunday to comment: “Has Rick Moranis suffered enough?”
“Leave Rick Moranis alone, you absolute idiots,” user @dantelfer posted Sunday.
