Shaquille O'Neal catches a fan filming him in secret, his response is hilarious

Shaq was attending a meet and greet when he spotted one sneaky fan filming him after being informed no phones were allowed

Former NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal, better known as Shaq, continues to prove why he remains one of the coolest men on the planet after catching a fan filming him on the sly during a meet and greet.

Domenick Nati, president of public relations agency Nati Celebrity Services, thought he had managed to find a way around the strict rules regarding filming the NBA legend. As Nati approached Shaq, he began filming himself on his phone from his waist, with the clever tactic set to capture Shaq once he hugged him and posed for a picture.

Fool-proof, right? Wrong.

Shaq had spotted the camera, but rather than refuse to pose for a photo or react in an angry manner, Shaq did what Shaq does. He immediately snapped round his head to glare at the camera, all the while maintaining his pose for the main photograph.

Nati was oblivious and, as he wrote on Twitter along with the video, believed he had gotten away with it. He wrote: “Just met @SHAQ They said no cell phone photography. I thought he didn't see me recording until I watched this video.

“Jokes on me. @SHAQ 1 Domenick 0.”

Nati’s profile on the Nati Celebrity Services website reveals that he has worked on such television broadcasts as Deal or No Deal, hell’s Kitchen and So You Think You Can Dance as well as the 2005 film Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, while he has also worked in sports PR alongside Nascar charities such as the Hendrick Marrow Program, Jimmie Johnson Foundation, and Jeff Gordon Children's Foundation.
