Instagram/@joe_mazzelloJoseph Mazzello gave a vintage Instagram moment that had everyone going on a double take: he posted some photos from Brazil this year with the caption, “I forgot I went to Brazil earlier this year, here’s some pictures from that.” Homeboy seriously forgot the WHOLE international trip! There’s Mazzello effortlessly cool on the beach, bathing in sunshine, chilling under an umbrella, wearing his pastel teal t-shirt and sunglasses, and holding a cocktail from what really seemed like an ad for tropical getaways. It was just there, set-for-now vibes of relaxation; and one does wonder: How could somebody forget such an experience?

…What followed in the comments section was a slew of compliments, expressions of disbelief, and demands to see the actor again. One remarked, sheepishly: ‘Beautiful but how can you forget! 😂’ while another speculated, ‘You “forgot”. I hope that’s not code for “I was blackout drunk the entire time, so…”‘ There were certainly comments about Mazzello’s chill-out vibes from some fans: ‘you look insanely tired in most pictures, joe😭🇧🇷’ — honestly, we feel that. Traveling gets you tired no matter how much style you have.
The Brazilians really got excited and poured out their love and offers for round two of the trip. ‘MEU DEUS, EU NÃO ACREDITO! 😍💚💛,’ an awestruck fan exclaimed. Another was more than willing to offer: ‘When you come another time, stay at my house ❤️🇧🇷’—because why would you stay in a hotel when you can be the guest of a fan with a spare room?
Others used the opportunity to promote their own countries: “When are you coming to Mexico? We have good tequilas here… tremors too, though!!! The tequila here is good!”—one user, stating there can be no contradiction between great drinks and earthquakes. Other users said they were glad to see him enjoying the best life: “looks like some good RNR,” one said, and it really does.
The post, though, provided an excellent base for jokers to play on Mazzello’s memory. “‘Forgot?! Luckily you did not forget to get back from there,’” said one commenter, while another shot back with: ‘Slide 3 is giving Club DJ’—because if there’s a ‘I don’t remember this trip’ vibe, it’s that: accidental beat dropping on a beautiful avenue.
Truth or joke, one thing’s sure: Brazil definitely left a mark on Mazzello, whether he admits it or not. And if he truly does forget, his fans will certainly be on hand to remind him—photos included.

Here’s to those unexpected throwbacks from travels, the well-wishers with spare rooms, and the dark mystery of how someone forgets an entire holiday. Mazzello might want to get himself a diary for next time—or at least a souvenir.
