In the real world, there is little in common between French President Emmanuel Macron and The Office character Michael Scott. However, a Twitter thread has linked both of them with a set of similar-looking photos.
On Monday, a Twitter user named David Mosquera (who goes by the handle @renaldinhos) posted a series of photos that showed Macron and The Office character Scott doing the same things and even wearing almost similar outfits.
The hilarious thread, which almost looks like it has used photoshopped pictures, shows Macron and Scott meeting foreign delegates, playing basketball, sipping champagne, and riding bicycles amongst other things.
Mosquera simply captioned, his now-viral tweets as, “Michael Scott as Emmanuel Macron: a thread”

Commenting on the pictures, a Twitter user wrote, “This is the best thing you are going to see in your TL today. Trust me.” While another person remarked, “This is a weirdly well made and surprisingly lengthy thread….”.
Previously Mosquera had made a similar thread that showed Michael Scott as Diego Armando Maradona.

One can certainly trust the internet to come up with such bizarre connections and similarities between people that are polar opposites.
