For celebrities, posing with people for a photograph when they're out and about is part and parcel with the job.
Of course, celebrities are very often friends with other celebrities, and sure enough, people often try to get one and the same together in the same photograph - right? Well, not always. As it told to this Twitter user, it doesn't always work out that way.
Take a look.
"The Matthew Broderick Story"
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. So my friend politely asks Broderick if he will take a photo with his daughter. Broderick galliantly 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 wont 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??
So here’s the photo: pic.twitter.com/rUGDRL8F21

No joke, this could work as a setup for a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode. Larry and Jerry and get stopped for a photograph with Matthew Broderick loitering in the background.
