Bringing A 400-Year-Old Spanish Monarch Back To Life

Those crazy cats at Improv Everywhere are back - and this time they are taking the piss out of stupid people in museums.

After making professional ice skaters look like amateurs and helping people ride the Tube in their pants, they are now trying to make visitors to the Metropolitan Museum of Art believe a 30-year-old actor is King Philip IV of Spain, who was born 406 years ago.

And, unbelievably, people believe it. Sure, the guy offering autographs to museum patrons right by his Velázquez painting looks a lot like the very dead ex-monarch.

But, seriously, are people really that thick? One guy even comments how good he looks for 400 years old and that he would 'love to know his secret'.

We can only hope he was joking.
