Jessica Biel is proving she can play any role.
The actress was the subject of a widely-shared tweet from August 2018 that recently surged in popularity once again.
"Some people just can’t be believably cast in a period piece like sorry Jessica Biel you have a face that knows about text messaging," a Twitter user joked.
Biel, 39, caught wind of the joke and took to Instagram on Thursday to offer up an equally hilarious response.
