Shaq’s commercial has people arguing about a possible kid swap

We have some questions.

Remember the feeling you got when you read about The Dress? You know, the photo of a dress that people couldn’t decide whether it was black and blue, or gold and white?* It looks like we have yet another one of these situations. Twitter user @bobby presented the possibility that the Ring commercial above features two kids instead of one.

Here’s the first angle, with the kid telling Shaq he can’t beat Ring’s security:

And the second angle, when all three people are looking at the camera. Notice the kid’s hairstyle has changed:

Same shirt, same sweater, definitely different hair style, but is it the same face? Are these kids twins? Did the first kid get fired in the middle of production? Did the hairstylist make a last-minute change in between takes? Is there a deleted scene where Shaq tousles the kid’s hair to make it look like that? It’s a debate that’s even stumped Chrissy Teigen:

What’s really messed up is that Ring inventor Jamie Siminoff, who’s the third person in the commercial, won’t say either way.

YOU’RE IN THE COMMERCIAL, DUDE. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE KIDS? God, this is like the Tootsie Pop commercial. The world may never know.

*The dress was black and blue, by the way. Don’t @ me.

Update: Shaq says it’s the same kid.
