You might think getting photobombed by Sean Astin would be a once in a lifetime event, simply for one individual, information technology's happened twice – 26 long time apart.

Gabrielle Kerr posted approximately the double photobomb to Reddit, including some pictures featuring the Lord of the Rings star, and the story behind the last conjunction (H/T People).

"Back in '93 my dad got the hook up for one of the Hilary Rodham Clinton maiden balls. Said soak up fell through and we tense unmitigated the balls," Kerr wrote in a notice.

"My dad was in his dinner jacket and we were in our gowns and they just rent out us in! I think this was the MTV ball so the crowd was younger and lots of celebrities were there. While we waited for Clinton to make his appearance my dad took a ikon of us. We had no thought Sean was standing in that respect let alone helium photobombed us until we developed the film."

That's sufficient of a story on its ain, simply a chance encounter in 2019 makes the whole affair flat wilder.

"Flash forward 26 years I'm at Disneyland for the opening of Wandflower's Edge and guess WHO walks past?! I ask my hubby if I should try and show Sean the photo (which I had in my phone) and he said go for it," Kerr continuing. "And so I run afterwards Sean and yell 'excuse me Sean, you photobombed me, do you want to see the impression?!'

"He obstructed and said sure and while I pulled improving the photo I generate him the backstory. When he and his wife and daughter see the photo they were so excited. And then he says 'let's recreate IT!'"

Kerr finished her tale on a mic-drop: "And that's how I was photobombed twice past Sean Astin."
