Hat tip to twitter user Priscilla Page (@BBW_BFF) for bringing to our attention the minefield of hilarity that is Dustin Hoffman trolling the paparazzi.

Take a minute to enjoy the 78-year-old actor hiding behind tree branches, peering through binoculars and wearing a large paper bag over his head. You know, in case you needed another reason to love him.

Shia Labeouf clearly stole this one.

Ah, Dustin Hoffman. Actor, writer, director and master of subterfuge. Can’t wait to see what inanimate object you peer out of next.
