Who had Adam Driver turning into a hot centaur on their 2021 bingo card?
The Marriage Story heart-throb has the internet abuzz yesterday after snippets from a Burberry fragrance ad campaign leaked featuring him turning into the four-legged mythical creature after plunging into the ocean with a horse.
Confused? So are we.
In the commercial for Burberry Hero, set to FKA Twigs' track Two Weeks, Driver sprints along the beach shirtless before diving into the ocean and swimming with a horse.
The final still is of Driver's hoofed silhouette, throwing instant Zoolander merman vibes.

Understandably, the internet has had a field day with the footage, quickly producing all manner of memes (some extremely NSFW).
"Adam Driver doing a cologne ad where he becomes a centaur is completely on brand for him," one fan posted of the 1.88m Star Wars actor.
"Nothing smells as good as a sweaty man-horse," another quipped.

Website Uproxx reports Driver saying he's "very happy to be working with Burberry on this campaign, and with Riccardo Tisci in representing his first fragrance for the brand".
Driver, who is set to appear opposite Lady Gaga in House of Gucci, has been steadily rising as everyone's favourite internet boyfriend over the past few years.
Recently, almost every on-set image of the former Girls star as Maurizio Gucci in Ridley Scott's House of Gucci has gone viral, and several of his co-stars have been singing his praises in interviews.
His co-star in comedy drama Annette, French actress Marion Cotillard, cheekily commended Driver for making movie musical history by simulating oral sex while singing.
And last year, Ben Affleck, shared a touching tale of the actor's kindness.
Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! he recalled when his The Last Duel co-star went above and beyond for his Star Wars-obsessed 8-year-old son Samuel.
While Affleck, Matt Damon and Driver were filming, Affleck was heartbroken when none of the birthday presents he had ordered for his son arrived on time, and he was going to have to show up to his party empty-handed.
"And then [my assistant] goes, 'Adam heard it was your son's birthday. So he called your assistant and got your address and sent some presents, and signed a card and a picture from Kylo Ren,'" Affleck said.
"So I took those presents and went to see my son.
"I watched him open all the other presents, and then I said, 'Sam, my presents didn't get here on time. But I did get a present from somebody who really wanted to make sure you got a gift', and he was like, 'Who?' And I said, 'Kylo Ren,'" Affleck said.
"Adam made me a hero to my kid, and I will never, ever, ever forget that."
