David Schwimmer spoofs Blackpool robbery lookalike

David Schwimmer responds on Twitter with a funny spoof of the Blackpool restaurant thief. This is in response to the social media coverage as many reported the suspect to be David Schwimmer due to his remarkable likeness to his character Ross Geller from Friends.

Officers, I swear it wasn't me.

To the hardworking Blackpool Police, good luck with the investigation.#itwasntme pic.twitter.com/EDFF9dZoYR
