An image showing Dr. Anthony Fauci sitting in his home office surrounded by depictions of himself went viral on Twitter Thursday.
The image is a screenshot from the Fauci documentary film, showing him sitting in his home office wearing a gray hoodie and sending an email on his computer surrounded by a painting of his face and several other images of himself.
Another screenshot from the film shows Fauci’s home bookshelf containing a bobblehead of himself.
Twitter user Karl Dierenbach tweeted out a photoshopped version of the image that shows Fauci in his home office, staring at a computer screen.
“Fauci in his office, surrounded by pictures of Fauci, watching that scene from ‘Fauci’ where Fauci is in his office surrounded by pictures of Fauci,” the user tweeted with the altered image.

Other social media users reacted to the shot of Fauci’s home, poking fun at the 81-year-old infectious disease expert for having so many icons of himself in his house.
“Serious God complex there. And kinda disappointed to see those tiny bottles of hand sanitizer; a man of his stature should have a gallon jug of it for sure,” one user said.

Dierenbach responded to the “blatantly photoshopped” comment, providing the time code for the documentary’s scene of Fauci in his office.
See “Fauci” at 1:25:37 for the shot of Fauci in his office surrounded by pictures of Fauci. As for Fauci watching “Fauci”, let’s just say I’m guessing that happens daily.
