Mark Zuckerberg has finally explained the reason behind that famous sunscreen photo - but it still makes no sense.
The Facebook founder has touched on the bizarre image before, but he has now fully explained his actions, saying he was using it as a disguise. I don't know about you, but I have even more questions now.

Speaking during a recent Instagram Live session, he said: "I really should have thought that one through more. I noticed there was this paparazzi guy following us and, so I was like, 'Oh I don't want him to recognize me so you know what I'm gonna do? I'm just gonna put a ton of sunscreen on my face.'
"And that backfired."
He went on to say - stating the absolute obvious - that 'no one needs to be wearing that much sunscreen'.
Adding: "I'm glad people can laugh about it. I laugh about it and I think it's pretty funny."

The now infamous image was taken in July 2020, and it sparked a huge influx of memes as people tried to make sense of what they had witnessed.
His other explanation for the image came out during a Q&A that took place in August 2020.

According to The Verge, he had previously said: "I'm not a person who's under the illusion that I look particularly cool at any point with what I'm doing.
"But when you're eFoiling down the coast of Hawaii, and it's beautiful and it just feels like it's awesome - and then you come back online and you see that's the photo, that's what you look like - it's like, OK. Alright. That's maybe quite a bit more sunscreen than I thought I was wearing."
He stood firm saying he is "not going to apologize for wearing too much sunscreen."
