Honey, I stormed the Capitol.
Movie star “Rick Moranis” was trending on Twitter on Sunday – after the FBI posted a photo of another man who allegedly took part in the January 6 Capitol riots and bears some resemblance to the actor in his heyday.
“You can help the #FBI identify individuals involved in the January 6 violence in the Capitol. If you recognize this person, visit http://tips.fbi.gov. Reference photo 268 in your tip, ” tweeted the FBI Sunday afternoon next to two photos.
Twitter users quickly noticed the similarities between the helmeted, speckled suspect and the ‘Honey, I Shrunk the Kids’ star – responding by the dozen with screenshots of the 1987 Star Wars parody ‘Spaceballs’, in which Moranis made a goggles and a giant helmet-wearing parody of Darth Vader called “Dark Helmet.”
“Hey, I think that guy hurt my dentist! He works in a shop down the street and he has a weird plant! ” replied user, referring to Moranis’ role as a naive florist with a man-eating plan in the 1986 film ‘Little Shop of Horrors’.
Moranis made headlines in October when a stranger socked him outside his Manhattan apartment, causing more than one Twitter commentator to comment on Sunday, “Didn’t Rick Moranis suffer enough?”
“For God’s sake leave Rick Moranis alone, you absolute creeps,” user @dantelfer posted Sunday.
