No awkwardness here! Jerry Seinfeld hugs manager George Shapiro in front of Melbourne street mural which depicts THAT viral exchange with Kesha
His very awkward interaction with Kesha went viral earlier this year.
And now Jerry Seinfeld has visited a Melbourne mural that immortalised the moment he refused to give Kesha a hug.
Jerry, who is in Australia on a stand-up tour, could be seen smiling and hugging his manager as he posed for photos in front of the street art on Tuesday.

The comedian visited the mural by Melbourne street artist Lushsux, which depicts his now-viral exchange with Kesha.
The legendary sitcom star posed for photos alongside his longtime manager, George Shapiro.
While some might be embarrassed to have one of their more awkward moments turned to art, Jerry was clearly delighted, later sharing a photo of the mural to Instagram.

In June, the comedian was in the middle of a red carpet interview when he was interrupted by Kesha.
'I'm Kesha I love you so much, can I give you a hug?' the singer asked.
A puzzled Jerry politely declined, replying: 'No thanks.'
But Kesha persisted, asking two more times for a hug, the comedian continuing to refuse.

As the rejected singer walked away, Jerry turned to the interviewer and said: 'I don't who that was.'
After being filled in on Kesha's identity, the comedian wished Kesha 'all the best'.
Melbourne artist Lushsux was quick to immortalize the very awkward exchange, painting a mural in Melbourne's North Fitzroy of Jerry refusing the hug in June.
It's not the first time the street artist has brought celebrities to life on the streets of Melbourne.
Lushsux previously painted images of Taylor Swift, Kylie Jenner and most famously Kanye West kissing himself.
