Peter Crouch lived up to his reputation as one of social media’s funniest denizens with a funny joke at his expense.
It came after a group of hikers in Brazil made headlines on Wednesday after they managed to obtain a video of two creatures they claimed were aliens.
Film material of the elongated 10-foot figures have gone viral on X – the platform formerly known as Twitter – and Instagram.
The mysterious figures stood on a hilltop on Ilha do Mel – a small island off the coast of the state of Parana, in southeastern Brazil.

They both quickly moved their arms, but remained standing on the hilltop throughout the video, which has racked up more than eight million views at the time of writing.
Unsurprisingly, Crouch saw the funny side of the puzzling spectacle.
‘We were on holiday with the family. Please respect our privacy at this time,” he posted on X while sharing images of the mysterious creatures.
And it didn’t take long for
Meanwhile, UFO expert Nick Pope has pushed back on eyewitness Sara Dalete’s claims that she saw aliens.
“This story – and the reaction to it – is truly bizarre,” he said Subway on January 9.
“There is no credible evidence that anything involving UFOs or aliens happened, or that this was anything other than the police response to reports of youths fighting.”
And despite his funny claim, Crouch was not in Brazil this week but was in fact in London, attending the snooker Masters at Alexandra Palace with former England teammate Joe Cole.
The former Premier League striker has become a fixture at the north London venue, where he was spotted in the crowd during the World Darts Championship last month.
The former England, Tottenham and Portsmouth striker was seen taking photos with fans and dancing before being urged to finish his drink by the crowd.
