“I honestly thought he was holding a toy doll he wanted me to have as a gift. This beautiful, serene, present and trusting angel is Luciana. One day, I bet she’ll inspire all those around her. And whatever this moment meant for her emotional father – means it meant something special for me too. Love you back MEXICO and the mana is strong Girl dads ROCK,” the actor wrote on Instagram.

Did they pass him their baby thru the crowd??”, while a third user wrote, “Did someone just pass their kid through a crowd?”

Black Adam features Zachary Levi and is a spin-off from Warner Bros and New Line Cinema’s Shazam. The character initially appeared in DC Comics in the 1940s as a villain corrupted by power and, in the early 2000s, became an anti-hero.
