    Yes, as in Diego Maradona, "Hand of God."

    Robbie even boasted about being God himself when he shared the picture again on his Instagram page.

    But here's the thing — it wasn't him. It was a lookalike.

    The man in the picture was in fact Abi Atici, who has been working as a Maradona impersonator for the last 20 years.

    Atici told the MailOnline: "When I was in Ischgl, Robbie was playing a concert. I was waiting to take the ski lift to the top of the mountain. Suddenly Robbie jumped out of a van, gave me a hug and said: 'I love you.'

    "I answered 'I love you too!' Robbie then gave me a kiss on the cheek. You know I now can't wash my cheek as all women want a kiss on the same spot he kissed me. I don't just have the hand of God, I now have the cheek of God."

    Oh, Robbie...
