Hilarious story behind this photo of young fan with Matthew Broderick
Matthew Broderick rose to prominence for his starring role in ‘80s classic Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and the actor has found new fame for being back of a fan photo that might have the most entertaining backstory in Hollywood history.
Twitter user @HonoredSpirit share the below photo of his friend with the star on social media this week, explaining the strange story behind the photo that’s become a viral hit.
Here is the tale, in his own words:
“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,” he wrote. “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 won’t 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??”
Broderick’s friend, who was asked to move out of the frame of the photograph was none other than the legendary comedian Jerry Seinfeld!
