Photobombs Through the Ages
Photobombing might have reached its peak at the Golden Globes when Michael Douglas PB'd his way into a picture with his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angelina Jolie.
The pinnacle of modern-day photobombing
The phenomenon has become popular on the internet, of course, and as with everything else, the youngsters think they invented it all.
But they're wrong.
Photobombing has a proud and glorious history, albeit one that has been largely kept under wraps until now.
We spoke with the Granddaddy of all Photobombers, a man who some might say looks a lot like our Craig Hlavaty, to get the lowdown on his remarkable career. He guided us through eight of his best efforts.
8. Oswald
I thought that Jack Ruby was going to like, throw a pie in Lee Harvey's face, so I figured I should tweet out a pic of it. But he shot him instead. That was a weird day.
7. The Moon
This one wasn't so hard. I went to school with a dude who built the set, so all I did was text him to get the address.
6. The 1968 Olympics
I told the cops I was an Olympic trainer. I guess my hoodie convinced them. I did the Black Power Salute too, LOL.
5. Vietnam
This photobomb didn't turn out the best. I thought they were just doing an indie movie or something, but then...yeah.
4. Abu Ghraib
That internship with Army IT people had its perks. I got to shoot guns and even help them commit sad human rights atrocities.
