Celebrities hide from the paparazzi using unusual methods but it seems like Mark Zuckerberg tops the list. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was caught and photographed surfing and enjoying himself in Hawaii wearing what looked like a lot of sunscreen.

What Sunscreen Does Mark Zuckerberg Use?

Although the Facebook CEO might have been available to avoid the sunburn, he still got roasted for what he tried to pull off. Adam Mosseri had Zuckerberg address the whole sunblock incident, according to the story by Buzzfeednews.

It was said that as another pale-skinned person, he also likes to wear a lot of sunblock in order to keep his skin remaining healthy while swimming or even doing water sports. In the photo, however, Mark Zuckerberg is seen wearing what was called "mineral-based" sunscreen known to leave a white cast.

The Facebook CEO then revealed that there was actually another reason behind him really putting a large quantity of sunscreen on his face. He apparently saw that he was well being followed by a certain photographer while he was trying to surf. He then thought that he could easily disguise himself with the help of a lot of extra sunscreen.

The photo was reportedly taken by a certain paparazzi agency known as Mega who had been following him as he tried surfing with the professional surfer known as Kai Lennon. Zuckerberg had reportedly admitted that his ploy, in the end, did not work. He even noted that the whole delta between just how cool one thinks they look and what was said to be the "worst photo a paparazzi can take" for him is "pretty funny."

The Facebook founder also notes that he bares no hard feelings to anyone and if people want to use the particular photo as a sunscreen meme, he said that he is actually really cool about it. He notes that he is happy to give the whole internet some laughs.

This isn't the very first time that Mark Zuckerberg has addressed the whole sunscreen photo. At another company-wide meeting that was reported by Buzzfeednews and the Verge, he also noted that he is not going to apologize for wearing way too much sunscreen. He also noted that he thinks that sunscreen is good and that he actually stands behind it.

Mark Zuckerberg Surfing Sunscreen

This incident is yet another instance of a popular person trying to evade the paparazzi. While others might try to hide behind covering their faces, what Mark Zuckerburg did was to wear additional sunscreen in order for him to continue surfing.

The photo has since then been used as a meme known as the "Mark Zuckerberg sunscreen meme" and as expected, has been making its rounds across the internet. Whether or not the Facebook CEO will try this stunt again is unknown.
