Prime Minister David Cameron may have forgiven Manu Tuilagi for his "bunny ears" joke.
However, the picture above shows the rugby ace has played the prank before on another high-profile victim.
The photograph captures the moment the Leicester Tigers and England centre played the same stunt on James Bond actor Daniel Craig while he was in the British and Irish Lions' dressing room in July, after the team won their series against Australia 2-1.
Manu, 22, caused controversy when he gave Mr Cameron "bunny ears" during an official reception for the Lions at Downing Street on Monday to celebrate their series win in Australia.
The picture was tweeted and Manu posted an apology and said he would write a letter saying sorry to the PM.
Mr Cameron then tweeted saying: "@Manutuilagi it was great to welcome you and the @lionsofficial team to No10. No need to apologise, I know it was just a bit of fun."
Manu posted back: "Cheers for having a great sense of humour @David_Cameron always welcome around mine for dinner and to get me back!"
Following the Cameron prank, photos of television screens paused at the crucial moment when Manu carried out the same stunt on Daniel Craig started doing the rounds on social networking sites.
Alex Shaw wrote on Twitter: "If you've got the bottle to do it to the deadliest man in the world, why not the PM?"
Manu has faced some criticism for his actions, including from former England hooker and rugby pundit Brian Moore.
However, John Griffiths, chairman of the Tigers Away Supporters Club, said: "It was a joke. He didn't make a political comment, he didn't insult David Cameron – he is just a young man having fun.
"He's a 22-year-old lad – three years ago he was still at school. All he's done is had a bit of fun in a formal situation.
"I used to be a young rugby player and we played pranks on people, it doesn't hurt anyone.
"The Prime Minister is probably very grateful for it to be honest – it's good PR for David Cameron.
"If he did do it to James Bond, he was probably taking his life into his own hands."
