Taika Waititi has wished Robert Downey Jr a happy birthday, bizarrely attaching a photo of chat show host Graham Norton alongside the tribute.

He tweeted: ‘Happy Birthday,@RobertDowneyJr!!!’, next to a photo of Graham, with no discernible reason why. 

The director’s tribute on Robert’s 55thbirthday left fans just as confused, as they tweeted: ‘He looked so different here wowee’ and ‘your mind works in ways ill never understand’. 

Others tweeted that Graham Norton would probably enjoy the comparison, writing: ‘Graham Norton is going to love this’. 

Some fans pointed out that it isn’t RDJ that’s a ringer for Graham, but Taika himself: ‘you know it’s funny because… YOU kind of look like him……. do you have something to say’. 

As well as Taika’s tribute, Robert also shared a video of Josh Brolin singing the birthday song to him on his Instagram story. 

Avengers star Lexi Rabe also shared an adorable tribute, writing: ‘Robert to know you is to love you…3000. You are undefinable but we will try.’ 

She and her family then penned an acrostic using the letters of his name, spelling out: ‘Resilient, original, brilliant, entertaining, royal, treasure,’ and it’s just the cutest.

The Morgan Stark actress added in the caption: ‘With each decade you have added new words to your definition. ‘Today we Marvel at the wonders this Ironman will have I store for the next ten years! -Happy Birthday, Rabes’.

It’s going to be a fairly quiet birthday for Robert, as he along with most of the world is in coronavirus lockdown. 

Still, once the restrictions are lifted, RDJ’s belated birthday is going to be a great excuse for a party.

Who knows, Graham Norton might even get an invite too…
