Tony Hawk Has Fans LOLing With His Thread About Not Quite Being Recognized On An Elevator

i'm so confused that people know what tony hawk looks like\n\nlike, if you pointed at any random dude and was like "YO THAT'S TONY HAWK" convincingly enough i'd probably believe you, knowing nothing about him but his name

He really does pull off the "generic white guy" look.

It\u2019s so funny how everyone tells tony hawk he looks like tony hawk but I genuinely don\u2019t know what he looks like no matter how many pics of him I see

tony hawk really gets \u201cmistaken\u201d for tony hawk like it\u2019s nobody\u2019s business and my favorite part is that so many people who say he looks like tony hawk take way too long to realize that\u2019s exactly who he is lmfao

I love that people think Tony Hawk only looks vaguely like himself, not enough for people to believe they\u2019ve actually met him, but enough for them to tell him he looks a bit like himself

This just happened, and maybe this is where it all ends:\nGot an elevator with 3 people.\nOne guy (with his wife), sarcastically: \u201canyone ever tell you you\u2026\u201d and stops.\nMe (amused): yes, but you\u2019re the first today.\nHis wife: \u201cI\u2019m sorry, I tried to stop him from doing the joke\u201d

(elevator stops, couple exits to their floor)\nOther guy: \u201cwhat\u2019s the joke?\u201d\nMe: I get mistaken identity a lot\nHim: \u201cmistaken for who?\u201d\nMe: Tony Hawk\nHim: \u201chaha you do look like him!\u201d\nElevator stops again, he exits on his floor. I am left alone, heading upwards & feeling perplexed

You need to sell a T-shirt with your picture on it that says \u201cThis is what Tony Hawk looks like\u201d. Send the proceeds to your favorite charity.

At this point I\u2019ve just started calling every white male stranger I see Tony Hawk just in casehttps://twitter.com/tonyhawk/status/1511927017431785472\u00a0\u2026

I regularly look at photos of Tony Hawks face just in case I ever accidentally run into him.https://twitter.com/tonyhawk/status/1511927017431785472\u00a0\u2026

You almost have to be holding a Skateboard to believe it\u2026 you know\u2026 like when it\u2019s pouring rain but that lighting strike confirms the storm

This is something else the joke has become apart of the proplem. I just want to give him a hug at this point, but I might hug the wrong guy by mistakehttps://twitter.com/tonyhawk/status/1511927017431785472\u00a0\u2026

I'm really enjoying "The Tony Hawk Paradox" in which you simultaneously are and are not Tony Hawk at any given time.

The real Tony Hawk just grinds his skateboard up the side of the building.
