Sports fans across the globe recreate THAT awkward Coldplay concert kiss cam scandal - as others look to similar mishaps caught by celebrities' on camera
Andrew Byron, the head of the AI startup Astronomer, was broadcast on the big screen at Boston's Gillette Stadium with his arm around the company's HR chief, Kristin Cabot, during the band's gig earlier this month.
The pair rapidly covered their faces, with Andrew diving out of view and Kristin turning her back to the camera.
But despite their efforts to avoid the limelight, their apparent awkwardness caught the attention of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. 'Oh look at these two!' the singer said mischievously as they spun around. 'Oh what? Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy.'
Now, people are recreating the surprising moment on kiss cams in sports stadiums globally.
In one clip captured by Aubrey Lynn, who goes by @wonderquinn1372, a couple recreated Andy and Kristin's shocked expressions as the camera landed on them while enjoying a football game at America First Field in Utah.
Meanwhile, others have drawn attention to previous entertaining kiss cam moments that drew attention online.
From Olivia Rodrigo accidentally asking siblings to kiss and the 'My sister' meme to Michael Fassbender and his now-wife Alicia Vikander's very awkward refusal, there have been a fair share of memorable on-camera moments over the years.
America First Field recreation in Utah
Entertaining kiss cam footage from a football game in Utah took the internet by storm last week.
Multiple people took to TikTok to share footage of individuals mocking the events at the Coldplay concert.
In light of the drama, America First Field stadium renamed the kiss cam feature to 'Coldplay Cam'.
The first couple featured on the clip, posted by Aubrey Lynn, who goes by @wonderquinn1372, quickly ducked out of the camera, much to the delight of attendees.
Moments later, the mascots followed in the previous couple's footsteps and recreated their actions by quickly separating after being spotted by the camera.
Josie Cook, otherwise known as @josiem.cook, shared the clip to TikTok, which racked up thousands of views.
The Philadelphia Phillies
The Philadelphia Phillies had a laugh at the expense of the CEO and HR boss who caused a storm online after they were caught on camera cuddling at a Coldplay concert.
During their game against the Los Angeles Angels earlier this month, the Phillies broadcast their own kisscam on the huge screen at Citizens Bank Park.
Set to Coldplay's song 'Speed of Sound' - a huge hint at what was to come - the cameras managed to find some happy couples who shared a kiss.
The camera then cut to the team's two mascots, who were stood in the exact same pose as Byron and Cabot were when they appeared on camera at the concert.
Then, just as the red-faced duo did, one of them dived out of shot and the other turned their back in a desperate attempt to hide their identity.
The moment caused the entire Phillies stadium to burst out laughing but the fun didn't end there.
The jumbotron operator then found another fan somewhere in the crowd who had come prepared with his own take on the viral moment.
The male fan proudly held a sign aloft that read 'this is my wife', with the 'is' underlined for effect.
The fans burst out laughing once again and the man then kissed his wife to huge applause.
Olivia Rodrigo was left red-faced in November after a cheeky request she made of two fans at her sold-out Sydney concert hilariously backfired.
The US pop sensation, 22, was performing at Qudos Bank Arena when she asked two of her fans to kiss for the cameras.
However, she didn't realise the pair were actually brother and sister.
'You guys are so cute! I have a huge and fun favour to ask, would you guys give us a kiss on the Guts cam?' Olivia asked the siblings.
The pair then told Olivia they were not a couple - but in fact siblings, leading the singer to hold up her hands in shock.
'She's your sister! Oh s**t, never mind, scrap that! F**k, wow, that hasn't happened before,' an embarrassed Olivia screamed out, asking her crew to quickly cut the footage.
'This is the first time! Wow, I feel really bad now, we are going to forget that ever happened!' Olivia joked.
Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander refuse amid romance rumours
Michael Fassbender, 48, and Alicia Vikander, 36, refused to take part in a kiss cam segment during the EE BAFTA British Academy Film Awards in 2016
They are one of Hollywood's most fiercely private couples and back in 2016 it seemed they were not willing to showcase their relationship to the world just yet.
Michael Fassbender, 48, and Alicia Vikander, 36, refused to take part in a kiss cam segment during the EE BAFTA British Academy Film Awards that year - and the moment was so awkward it was cut from the BBC broadcast.
Fortunately, other A-list faces at the Royal Opera House in London were willing to take part in the comical skit - much to the relief of presenter Stephen Fry.
When the lens spun round to nominees Michael and Alicia, who only just started dating, the notoriously under-the-radar couple didn't play ball.
The tense moment was so embarrassing that the BBC decided to cut it from the television broadcast.
Debbie O'Donnell shared a picture of the actors - who failed to even look at one another - on Twitter with the caption, 'Loving the #EEBAFTAs Kiss Cam. Michael Fassbender having none of it @LancomeUK.'
'My sister' sign
University of Minnesota alumnus Adam Martin proved older brother knows best when he brought his sister to a Gophers hockey game in 2014.
Adam and his sister Maria were watching his alma mater play Michigan on Valentine's Day when they were hilariously caught on the kiss cam.
A couple of weeks before the game, Adam told Maria that they could be put on kiss cam considering the romantic holiday - but Maria scoffed at the chances they'd end up at the jumbo tron.
Still, Adam decided to play it safe and printed out a sign reading 'My sister' before heading over to the hockey arena.
So when the kiss cam started in the third period, Adam whipped out the piece of paper - before the camera flashed to them and he held it up.
Julianne Moore and Bryan Cranston's iconic stage snog
Julianne Moore and Bryan Cranston took things up a notch at the 2016 BAFTAs by sharing a very steamy 'snog'.
The moment began awkwardly as Bryan leaned in to kiss Julianne on the shoulder but missed as she turned around to face him.
The actors appeared to pretend whispering sweet nothings to each other before Bryan placed a hand to the camera to suggest it move away from the staged private moment.
Bryan then caressed Julianne's face with his hand and she wrapped her arm around him before they engaged in a passionate snog.
James Corden and Harry Styles' TV smooch
They've been friends for years, and are regularly seen out together.
But Harry Styles and James Corden revealed just how close they are back in 2013 - by kissing on a television show.
The One Direction star was seen sitting on the Gavin & Stacey comedian's knee, gently placing his hand on James's cheek as the pair enjoyed a hilarious embrace.
The kiss occurred as Harry and his former bandmates Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson appeared on hit Sky TV show A League Of Their Own, which James presented at the time.
During the episode, Harry left the audience in stitches as he walked over to James, sat on his knee and planted the smacker on his lips.
The ultimate revenge
It's rather common for partners be left embarrassed when their other half leaves them hanging as the Kiss Cam flashes to them.
But one woman refused to be left red-faced and decided to get revenge on her not-so-forthcoming partner.
The clip shows the woman tap her boyfriend to tell him the Kiss Cam is on them, but he proceeds to swig from his beer and look away.
Not the be left hanging, the woman turns to a supposed stranger sat next to her and suggests they kiss instead.
They both shrug as if to say 'why not' and go in for a smooch - leaving her boyfriend irritated before he storms off.
Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron's viral kiss
Before the release of smash hit High School Musical back in 2006, rumours quickly swirled about a romance between its lead stars.
Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron quickly made public appearances together upon its release but their romance was a drama-filled one.
After being together for four years, the pair were spotted on the Kiss Cam at the MTV Movie Awards in June 2010, in a moment that drove fans wild.
But their smooch was the beginning of the end, as just two months later Zac revealed he was questioning if he should be single and the pair had called it quits by December.
Double bag attack
One very uncomfortable moment on a Kiss Cam saw a woman get very irate with partner.
The Kiss Cam panned to them twice but the boyfriend seemed very uninterested in taking part, instead sipping his beer and shrugging.
The woman began smiling but appeared to get more angry as it became apparent he was rejecting her.
After a firm no from the man, the woman stands up, grabs her bag and whacks him with it - before returning to do it twice more.
Will Ferrell's embarrassed wife rejects him
The funnyman has been loved-up with his wife Viveca Paulin for 25 years and the pair share two children.
But Will Ferrell was almost left red-faced when he received a Kiss Cam rejection from Viveca back in 2015.
The couple were among the stars at the LA Kings arena when the Kiss Cam turned to them.
However Viveca appeared to be very embarrassed by the attention and placed a sweater in between hers and her husband's face to block the kiss.
She had a change of heart and turned to give her actor hubby a peck on the lips.
One-upping Bryan and Julianne at the 2026 BAFTAs, Rebel Wilson and Suzy Eddie Izzard decided to go full throttle.
The Australian star and British comedian wasted no time at all when the cameras panned to them in the theatre.
They both immediately stood up before embracing and wrapped their arms around one another.
But they shocked the audience members when it was revealed they were snogging for real, before appearing breathless as they parted ways in the dramatic moment.
Prepare to get swilled
In one particularly dramatic American Kiss Cam, a man was left with regrets after ignoring his partner.
When the camera panned to this couple, the man said he was on the phone and refused to kiss the woman.
This happened again and the woman lost her appearance, standing up in a rage.
She then picks up her huge cup of soda and proceeds to throw it over her stunned partner, before storming off.

Asked about the kiss on The Ellen Show, Doris said: 'I sent him candy and I haven't heard from him.'
'Good kisser,' she added. 'But obviously a one night stand. I gave him the candy I thought that would do something... but it was a high honey. Oh, it was wonderful.'
Ran away with the mascot
In another case of a coincidental phone call, one woman was left red-faced when he partner was too busy to give her a smooch.
But the moment took a turn when the mascot appeared out of nowhere to approach the couple.
The mascot looks angry and pushes the man's head before pulling the woman out of her seat, taking her drink and pouring it over her boyfriend.
In a further turn of events, the mascot picks up the woman and whisks her away up the stairs.

Michael J. Fox's forgotten fling with Nancy McKeon sparked friendship with future Melrose Place star
Michael J. Fox has long been pals with Doug Savant, as they met via The Facts of Life star Nancy McKeon, who Fox dated in the mid-1980s. Savant, 61, chat about his longtime friendship with Fox, 64, to People at Lifetime's Summer Soirée event, held at the Santa Monica Proper Hotel July 16. Savant spoke with the outlet in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the August 1985 release of the comedy Teen Wolf. Savant - who would find fame playing Matt Fielding on the nighttime soap Melrose Place in the 1990s - appeared in the film as a rookie actor opposite Fox. Fox was one of the biggest stars of the 1980s with his roles as Alex P. Keaton on Family Ties and time traveling teen Marty McFly in the Back To The Future franchise. In the movie, Savant portrayed of Brad, a classmate and basketball teammate of Fox's lead character, Scott Howard, a teenage high school student who had the ability to transform into a wolf. Savant expounded to the outlet about his connection to Fox through McKeon - and how it tied into his Southern California roots. 'I grew up in Burbank, California, and I went to school with Philip McKeon and Nancy McKeon – Nancy McKeon from Facts of Life and Phil McKeon from Alice,' Savant said. 'And we were dear friends.' Savant said that he didn't tell Fox about his connection with McKeon, 59, specifically in an effort not to bother the star. 'I just wanted to do my job and be professional, but I had not said anything, said Savant, who also is known for playing Tom Scavo on the hit ABC series Desperate Housewives. Savant said that a week into production, Fox figured out the connection and confronted him about it. 'He went home and Nancy asked, "Who's in the movie with you? Let me see the call sheet." And she said, "Doug Savant? We were family friends."' Savant added, 'One day, Michael comes to work, he says, "Why didn't you tell me that?" He was upset with me that I had not told him.' After that, a fast friendship formed, according to Savant, who said that he 'had a great time' working with the beloved actor on Teen Wolf. Savant said that he looks back with nostalgia on his work on the motion picture: 'I have such great memories from that film.' He added of the movie's longevity: ' The movie has had a stunning lifetime, and people love it. 'They made sequels, and it resonated. So I'm just grateful to have been a small part of it. Savant said the movie was on TV while he was working on a new project and jarred his nostalgia. He recalled: 'The craft service person would play movies, and he puts on Teen Wolf. And there I was doing my job on a new show, but watching Teen Wolf in the craft service trailer.' Fox in 1985 met actress Tracy Pollan, who worked with him on Family Ties, but 'their relationship remained platonic, however, as they were both dating other people at the time,' People reported. They commenced dating after working together again on the 1988 movie Bright Lights, Big City, and married that same year. Fox and Pollan are parents to four adult children: son Sam Michael, 36, twin daughters Aquinnah Kathleen and Schuyler Frances, 30, and daughter Esmé Annabelle, 23. The Back To The Future star was 29 in 1991 when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, and went public with the information in 1998. He has spent the years since working tirelessly on charitable efforts toward funding research with a cure in mind.

Pete Davidson and pregnant girlfriend Elsie Hewitt seen for first time since bombshell baby news on red carpet
Pete Davidson and pregnant girlfriend Elsie Hewitt made their first public appearance together since their bombshell baby news at the star-studded premiere of The Pickup in LA on Sunday. The 31-year-old SNL alumnus — who took on a role in the upcoming heist action comedy — notably announced that both he and the English model are expecting their first child together earlier this month amid their whirlwind romance. The parents-to-be joined other celebrities at the event which was held at Regal LA Live, including Keke Palmer and Eddie Murphy. Elsie proudly showcased her growing bump in a sleeveless, figure-hugging black dress and slipped into a pair of closed-toed, black heels. Her long locks were parted in the middle, and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves. A warm blush was added to her cheekbones while a nude-colored glossy tint was worn on her lips for a finishing touch. Pete kept it casual in a brown-colored tracksuit and completed the outfit with a pair of comfy sneakers as well as a flashy watch on his lift wrist. The comedian cozied up to his girlfriend as they stepped onto the red carpet and at one point, the pair also shared a loving kiss for the cameras. Elsie also paused to take a few solo pictures as she flaunted her growing baby bump, just one week after the pregnancy news came to light. The couple also struck fun poses as they took more snaps near a portion of the red carpet that was decorated with props to fit the premise of the movie. The model could be seen holding fake money in her hand as Pete stood close behind her in front of a large pickup van. Pete took on the role of Travis in the upcoming comedic film, which also stars Eddie Murphy, Keke Palmer, Eva Longoria and Andrew Dice Clay. The premise is: 'A routine cash pickup turns into a deadly pursuit when two mismatched armored truck drivers are ambushed by ruthless criminals with plans beyond the cash,' per IMDB. The project is set to be released on Amazon Prime Video later next month on August 6.

And while it has been claimed that the pregnancy was something the couple 'weren't planning' - the SNL alum and English model are beyond 'excited' to become parents. The comedian - who has previously been linked to high profile celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande - first sparked romance rumors with Hewitt only months earlier ago in March. A source opened up to Us Weekly about their baby news and stated, 'Pete and Elsie definitely weren't planning on starting a family but are over the moon about it. 'They are so excited. Pete and Elsie have a really playful relationship, and things are going really well.' Despite dating for a 'short amount of time,' the pregnancy 'has brought them even closer. It's a healthy relationship for Pete.' The insider explained that fatherhood was something he always wanted for his future and that 'the timing in his life is perfect.' 'He couldn't have done it a few years ago but is in a very different place in life now,' the source further said of Pete - who notably got sober last year. The actor also finally broke his silence over the pregnancy news while talking to E! News on Tuesday. 'I'm very lucky and very, very happy,' Pete expressed to the outlet, and added that he could not wait, 'to take care of something and show it the childhood I didn't have.' He continued, 'I assume you just try to give them what you didn't have, and what you didn't like, not do it.' Since the big announcement, the star has already received a lot of advice from pals - including fellow actor Adam Sandler. The actor has talked about his dreams of being a dad in the past - such as when he made an appearance on Kevin Hart's show Hart To Heart back in 2022. '[I'm] definitely a family guy. My favorite thing ever, which I've yet to achieve, is I want to have a kid. That's like my dream,' Pete expressed at the time. He said that being a father would 'just be so fun' and added he is 'so excited for that chapter, so like that's kinda just what I'm preparing for now. 'Just trying to be like, as good of a dude, and develop and get better so that when that happens it's just easier.' The former Nickelodeon actress wowed in a one-shoulder gray dress that fell down towards the ground and contained beaded details on the semi-sheer material Pete and Elsie are set to welcome their baby this winter and are said to be 'thrilled' to become parents, family sources told TMZ. The comedian has mostly kept his relationship with the model out of the spotlight since going public in March 2025. Other celebrities that were in attendance at The Pickup premiere in LA over the weekend included Keke Palmer. The former Nickelodeon actress wowed in a one-shoulder gray dress that fell down towards the ground and contained beaded details on the semi-sheer material. Her voluminous locks were pulled back away from her face and cascaded down her back in elegant curls. Keke completed the glamorous look by adding a pair of flashy silver earrings as well as a dainty necklace and bracelet on her left wrist. Eddie Murphy was dapper in a black, double-breasted suit which was paired with a plain shirt underneath. The Haunted Mansion actor additionally wore a pair of black shoes and sported stylish black shades on the red carpet. He was accompanied by wife Paige Butcher — whom he tied the knot with in 2024 — who donned a fitted black dress with a plunging neckline on the front. During the festivities, Pete was seen crossing paths with both Keke and Eddie and the trio paused for a memorable snap together.
