A UK police force's search for a Ross Geller "lookalike" thief must go on after the real star cleared his name in a social media video.
Officers in Blackpool shared the CCTV still of the man, dubbed the "spitting image" of Friends actor David Schwimmer, clutching a crate of beer.
Schwimmer responded to jokes posted on Blackpool Police's Facebook post with the video on Wednesday.
He wished officers hunting the double "good luck with the investigation".
In the video posted to Twitter and Instagram, the star is seen furtively glancing at a camera as he walks through a convenience store clutching cans of beer.
"Officers, I swear it wasn't me," says the accompanying post.
"As you can see, I was in New York.
"To the hardworking Blackpool Police, good luck with the investigation."
Police had earlier confirmed Schwimmer was not in the UK at the time of the offence, but the original post has descended into something of a Friends quote-fest, attracting 133,000 comments referencing the show.
