A Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of a major company in the United States recently lost his job after the cameras picked him up being cosy with the company's chief people officer.
Not even their best attempts to duck away from the camera saved them, with Coldplay's Chris Martin providing an even more brutal commentary.
"Oh, look at these two. All right, come on, you're OK. Uh oh, what? Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy. I'm not quite sure."
Lionel Messi spotted at Coldplay concert
On July 27, it was Lionel Messi's turn to be caught on the kiss-cam, but his moment passed by without an incident.
The Inter Miami star attended the concert at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami alongside his longtime lover and wife, Antonela Roccuzzo.
The camera focused on a beaming Messi and Roccuzzo, who responded in style by appreciating the gesture as fans chanted his name.
"Oh, Leo, my beautiful brother. You and your wife are looking so fine. Thank you for coming today to see our band play. The number one sportsperson of all time," said a member of the band.
Fans reacted to the moment with many linking it to the viral Astronomer CEO video.
Kaycee said,
"Can't be the only one that has an insane amount of trust in this man. Immediately, I saw him, and I saw his wife beside him. A wonderful human being."
Arnav Tripathi said,
"The CEO should take notes from him."
While Rajiv Poudel said,
"He had a chance to do something very funny."
