Paul Thomas Anderson doesn't really care for this horrible photo of him and Maya Rudolph

Whether it's one of our dumb tweets or an embarrassing Vine, it's safe to assume we all want at least one thing scrubbed away from the internet forever.

Turns out famed director Paul Thomas Anderson is no different. While promoting his latest movie, Phantom Thread, on Twitter, Anderson answered some fan questions on Wednesday. Most had to do with his various films and shooting process, but one Very Important Person brought him (and subsequently, us) some Grade A Twitter content.

"Hello Paul just wondering why you were carrying around a copy of Thirteen Reasons Why," one Twitter user asked. "Did you read it and if so what are your thoughts?"

Then they blessed us with this fantastic and horrible photo of him and Maya Rudolph (the two are married and have four kids together) and their stone-cold faces staring down us all with a menacing glare normally reserved for mortal enemies. As you can see below, the book-turned-Netflix-show Thirteen Reasons Why appears to be peaking out from his pocket.

"OH MY GOD LOOK AT THE HAPPY COUPLE," Anderson wrote back. "What the f is this? We look like we're going to kill someone," he continued. "I don't know what that is in my pocket. Probably the back of a magazine? Holy Jesus. Can we remove this picture from the world?"

Unfortunately for you, Anderson, it's here forever. Thank goodness for that.
