It shows the 82-year-old together with his family. They are all sitting on a staircase and smiling at the camera in casual clothes - except for Biden.

According to the New York Post, he looks out of place in the photo. He is wearing a blue suit and appears far too dressed up for a simple family picture.

The photo also quickly made the rounds on social media . Many users on X analyzed it closely and pointed out his unusual posture and the inappropriate lighting on his face.

One user argued that the ex-president's face was "brightly lit from above/below", while his family had shadows on their faces.

Was Joe Biden present at the family celebration?

It was also noted that everyone was obviously sitting down, but Biden looked like he was standing - which in turn did not fit in terms of height.

It became quite curious when one user even put forward a conspiracy theory and questioned whether he was even still alive.

But as far-fetched as this theory may sound, speculation about the 82-year-old's state of health has been around for a long time, as the news portal stated.

It remains uncertainwhether the former US president was really mounted in the photo - only his family is likely to know the truth.
