Believe it or not, the "Supercell" actor was not the first person to share that selfie. Instead, it was first posted to Hilaria's Instagram page on Thursday night, before Alec decided to share the photo on Friday morning with a different caption. Hilaria was not shy about admitting that her husband was "annoyed" to take the selfie in their attire.

"He was annoyed with me because I made him come out of elevator for a pic…it was worth it," she wrote in the caption. "We dress up so rarely now that Edu asked me: 'mommy, what’s on your eyeballs?' 'Makeup', I told him…I feel judged by a 2 year old," she joked.

For most of the month of May, the 65-year-old actor was in Montana filming the last few scenes of his Western movie, "Rust." The actor had been sporting a scraggly beard for months and was finally happy to shave it off last week and return to his family in New York.
