The Moment A Young Fans Snubs Thierry Henry To Take Picture With Divock Origi Has Everyone In Stitches
Even Origi looked stunned.
Thierry Henry was left gobsmacked after a young fan wanted to take a picture with Liverpool striker Divock Origi and not him. Check out the video below.
Legendary striker Henry is part of the Belgium coaching set-up and is away with Roberto Martinez's side during this international break.
While leaving what appears to be their hotel, the Belgium squad are met by a group of fans looking to get pictures.

Henry is coming down the stairs just ahead of Origi and thinks the kid is looking to have a picture with him. Instead, he lets the Frenchman walk past and immediately gravitates to the Liverpool cult hero.
Origi happily poses and the end of the video shows their photo together.
Fans have reacted to the footage on social media and they were left in stitches at one of the Premier League's greatest players being overshadowed.
One commented: "Only one has scored in a Champions League final."
Another put: "Henry gotta chill homie."
A third said: "This man really blanked Henry for Origi my life is made."
While someone tweeted: "Thierry you're not that guy pal."
Origi has managed to become one of Liverpool's most influential players of the modern era despite barely playing games.
The 26-year-old played a vital part in their Champions League winning campaign in 2019, scoring twice against Barcelona in that 4-0 semi-final win at Anfield.
He then scored the second against Tottenham Hotspur in the final a month later.
Since then he's played a bit part but manages to pop up with last minute winners every so often.
It's expected he'll leave the Reds once his contract expires at the end of this season and Serie A giants AC Milan are interested.
This international break has been one to forget for Henry, who received a very frosty reception from Republic of Ireland supporters on Saturday.
Henry is vilified in the country for his actions during a World Cup play-off back in 2009.
The former Arsenal man controlled the ball with his hand before setting up William Gallas for the equaliser on the night, but winner of the tie in extra-time.
It dashed Ireland's hopes of reaching the tournament as Raymond Domenech's side advanced 2-1 on aggregate.
Those inside the Aviva Stadium haven't forgotten and booed Henry relentlessly when shown on the big screen.
