Jeff Bezos' new images have the Amazon founder looking "out of place" and "uncomfortable", according to a body language expert.
The new snaps of the billionaire are said to have been to "essentially rebrand him" according to Jess Ponce III, but he thinks they've hit wide of the mark. And he's not the only one to share the view with Jeff getting roasted online for the image.
The shot sees Jeff and Lauren Sanchez pose together in a vehicle. The snap has them embracing behind the wheel, with Lauren wrapping her arms around her man with her blingy engagement ring on full show. However, Jess doesn't believe the shot is at all natural looking, and even criticised Jeff's cowboy hat he dons in the shot.

A body language expert said Jeff looked 'uncomfortable' (Annie Leibovitz/Vogue)The image, which is part of the couple's latest shoot for Vogue alongside their interview, sees the pair gaze at the camera in what is supposed to show their strong bond. But Jess believes all it does is make Jeff look "uncomfortable and out of place".

Speaking to the Mirror, the body language expert, communication coach, and author of A.W.E.S.O.M.E said: "He’s stiff with an emotionless facial expressions. It’s almost robotic leading many to wonder if it’s overly touched up or AI. Also, the cowboy hat seems to be wearing him, not the other way around. It’s as if the photo is trying portray him in a rugged sort of way — to essentially rebrand him."
Jess continued: "Not only does he give off a lack of ease in the photo, the two of them are not connected in the slightest. It’s almost as if she is a prop on his lap. Normally, a couple that is cheek to cheek would have some sort of gaze at one another or an inward energy with their shoulders facing one another.
"Instead the two are square to camera, as if to mug individually to the photo, not as a unit. She’s working the camera, whereas he is expressionless. What is supposed to be an intimate pose does not portray any intimacy at all."
Fans took to social media to mock the 59-year-old and his fiancee, 53. One user bluntly asked: "Is this a joke?" while another added: "I've never been more uncomfortable with a photo."
A third said: "I honestly thought this photograph was a parody generated by Ai. Or ironically photoshopped. This is a real post... for Vogue..." And a fourth wrote: "This is the 1 most cringe post I have ever seen."
