Dustin Hoffman, Hide and SeekFameflynet

It's a bird! It's a plane! No, wait, it's Dustin Hoffman hiding in the bushes again. Yes, really.

The 77-year-old actor is quickly making a habit of coming up with some of the funniest ways to play hide-and-seek with photographers—and we love him for it.

We kid you not, the two-time Oscar winner may be famous for his outstanding performances on-screen, but what you may not know about him is that he's the ultimate master of disguise.

Hoffman can do comedy, drama, even drag—and one of the beloved star's lesser-known skills is his uncanny ability to blend in. Like, we're talking full-blown chameleon-style blending, people.

Whether it's a telephone pole, tree trunk or even a mailbox, Hoffman's hiding skills are unparalleled. Sure, his tactics don't actually work for him, but maybe the joke's on us and he's having a blast pranking the paparazzi.

There's no CGI or other special effects going on here, you guys, just one of your favorite actors  hiding behind inanimate objects in the hopes of no one realizing that he is twice, if not three times, the size of said objects.

Maybe his not-so-sneaky behavior is all for a role (he is a Method actor, after all), or maybe he's sick and tired of everyone seeing normal, smiling, from-the-front shots of him plastered all over the Internet.

Either way, we've never had more love in our hearts for the One and Only Dustin Hoffman aka Hoffy the Hider aka Dodgy McDusty aka The Hoffinator aka The HoffMan About Town.

And word to the wise: If you see him on the streets, don't hassle this Hoff!
