It's the black or blue dress all over again.

A photo, which was first published in 2013, has emerged yet again, spiraling the internet into a state of confusion not seen since #TheDress, and the great blue and black, or white and gold debate.

The picture shows a Hollywood actor pretending to bawl his eyes out as he poses for a picture with a baby boy. Fans were divided as to whether the celebrity in the photo was Tom Hanks or Ghostbusters' Bill Murray.

The image is believed to have first been shared on a Facebook group page entitled, 'Reasons My Son Is Crying' three years ago by someone called Laura DiMichele-Ross, after it was snapped at a golf course in Scotland.

Michele-Ross told them that her son was crying because he had "met Bill Murray".

And this soon sparked one of the biggest optical illusions online users have ever encountered.

  •  

"Isn't this Tom Hanks?" Hannah Richter questioned in the comments section, while Amy Young swore "that is Tom Hanks."

"This is obviously Bill Murray... I don't mistake this for Tom Hanks at all," Jennie Rae added.

And to take you out of your misery: raise your hands if you said that is Bill Murray, because you're right!

He was actually pictured wearing the outfit  during the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in October 2012.
