Edgar Wright owns up to his unintentional Baby Driver cameo

(Sony Pictures)

In the internet age there's no getting away from movie mistakes, so Edgar Wright has decided to get out in front of one of his.

The director shared a GIF of his reflection in a mirror in Baby Driver's perhaps most famous scene, shop windows being the nemeses of crew members too distracted by watching the scene to notice that they're unwittingly in it.

Reflections are fairly easy to airbrush out these days, but Wright decided against doing it.

"We decided to leave me in rather than digitally remove," he said, adding The @dneg [VFX studio] wizards turned my monitor into an iPhone too."

"Alfred Hitchcock would be proud of you," Mark Hamill jumped into the thread to comment, with Wright then joking of the portly director and his cameos: "I've lost weight since Mark."
