The man said the recreation was to honour his father on his birthday. In the first frame, the dad stands arms akimbo as his son posed in a hippy style, pointing towards the camera.

@Duroarts tweeted:
"Today’s my dads birthday, we recreated this."

Meanwhile, Briefly.co.za reported that a young man with the Twitter handle @Talldarkandfly has taken to the microblogging site to share how he recreated an event that happened in 1991 with a heartwarming photo of himself and his baby.
A similar picture was taken by @Talldarkandfly's dad in 1991 when the young man was given birth to.
@Talldarkandfly, who recreated the image in 2020 after giving birth to his own child, has a striking resemblance with his father.
As expected, tweeps took to the comment section of the post to share their opinion about both pictures. A Twitter user with the handle @BiyiThePlug wrote:
"I feel the person in the 2 pictures are the same, cos I’m still confused."
