The internet is busy laughing over a tweet that has surfaced online and features Hollywood actor Matt Damon. No, sorry, a "CIA agent. " We'll explain the whole deal. But if you are wondering why the internet is amused, it's because of a viral post in which the actor was mistaken for a "CIA agent" on account of his role in his film Jason Bourne.

As per a tweet shared by Ray Kwong, a Pro-Beijing leader posted a photo of a "CIA agent" and said that he is "stirring up chaos" in Hong Kong. No prizes for guessing that the CIA agent in question is actually a picture of Matt Damon from Jason Bourne.

Major LOL:

"Hollywood definitely has a much bigger influence in China than whatever China's influence in America, " read one comment while another said: "Yeah looks like they are getting used to believing whatever they see."
