LONDON -- If ever you decide to sneak a picture of a celebrity you've spotted out and about, just be aware that they have a sixth sense for that sort of thing. Even if you happen to be the most crafty person in the world, they will know exactly what you're up to.
Elton John is the perfect example of this. Reddit user PM_Me_Yer_Guitar recently shared a photo on Imgur of his brother in a restaurant with the singer in the background -- the type of photo where you pretend you're posing when really you're only interested in getting sweet proof that you were in the same room as a celebrity -- but it's clear from the image that Elton John's years in the spotlight have made him wise to the game.
Here's the photo in full.
Now let's go in a bit closer...
...Yep, there it is.
Nothing gets past Elton. He knows exactly what's going on.
Is the photo genuine, though? Well it's hard to be 100% sure about these things (the man could just be an Elton John-lookalike who regularly gets mistaken for the singer, after all), but closer examination suggests that the restaurant in the photo is on a ski resort (look at the clothes everyone is wearing and the equipment piled in the background).
Sure enough, a quick check of Elton's Instagram shows that he is indeed skiing at the moment.

Coincidence? It's possible, but we like to think the photo is the real deal, and Elton John is not only a great singer but also a top notch photobomber.
