Hannibal Buress, who plays Coach Wilson in Spider-Man: Homecoming, appears to have paid a lookalike to attend the Hollywood premiere of the film in his place.
As reported Entertainment Weekly, Buress posted on Twitter that he was looking for "a lookalike with solid comedic timing for an event tonight," and would offer the person a $500 reward. The tweets, which were posted yesterday, hours before the premiere, have since been deleted.
At the premiere, a man pretending to be Buress appeared on the red carpet, and Buress posted a screenshot of the footage on Twitter:
A few hours later, Buress responded to a Twitter post of EW's news article, saying "It's called extreme FOMO [fear of missing out]."
It appears the lookalike is a self-proclaimed actor, director and writer named Joe Carroll, who posted about being Buress' stand-in on Instagram:
Spider-Man: Homecoming opens in theaters on July 7, and the initial reactions from critics is overwhelmingly positive.
