It seems Zach Galifianakis has a doppelgänger, and it’s…Robert Redford? Twitter is scratching its head after complicated the 2 in that one iconic GIF from ‘Jeremiah Johnson.’
No, one other Hangover film hasn’t been introduced. On July 9, Zach Galifianakis, 49, began trending on Twitter as a result of the Web simply found out that our favourite comic is certainly not the “nodding meme man” — that honor as an alternative goes to Robert Redford, 82, because the GIF was captured from his 1972 basic, Jeremiah Johnson. This was a significant “DUH” second for a lot of, as a result of the 2 stars aren’t precisely twins (besides, nicely, for that one scene in Jeremiah Johnson).
“I’ve satisfied myself for 2 years that it was Zach Galifianakis,” one individual tweeted, whereas one other individual (who’s a verified movie and TV critic!) posted, “Truthfully I at all times assumed the nodding meme was Zach Galifianakis.” A 3rd fan wrote, “In my coronary heart of hearts I used to be sure that the nodding gif meme man was zach galifianakis. sorry if this offends.”
Nicely, it seems many have been offended — particularly, child boomers/these born within the older cusp of millenials. “A number of million under-30 web customers can’t inform the distinction between Robert Redford and Zach Galifianakis, so now I need to go reside on a tropical island with a volleyball named Wilson for firm. Not less than Wilson can recognise Robert Redford – and he’s an inanimate object,” The Shack director Stuart Hazeldine, 48, tweeted. One other fan wrote, “Folks want to look at higher films, particularly in the event that they don’t know who Robert Redford is. SMH, Pondering that is Zach Galifianakis.” Even rapper Widespread, 47, was shaking his head: “Actually? Zach Galifianakis? Come on man.”

Different followers used the Zach/Robert mix-up as a chance to look at the cultural variations between Web humor and the pre-meme technology. “Folks considering Zach Galifianakis is the person within the ‘nodding head man’ gif is an attention-grabbing take a look at the knowlesge [sic] hole between shoppers of basic #movie & basic web customers. Jeremiah Johnson was one in every of Robert Redford’s best movies,” one such fan tweeted. Nicely, because the “basic web customers” would say — maybe it’s not that deep. Zach and Robert simply occur to look eerily alike in that one screengrab!
For individuals who haven’t gotten the memo on Mr. Redford, the Oscar-winning director based the Sundance Movie Pageant and starred in classics like The Sting, The Means We Have been, The Nice Gatsby, and Out Of Africa.
