Kelly Ripa's son Michael sparked a conversation among his social media followers on Friday when he shared a snapshot of himself in New York. 

The aspiring filmmaker took to Instagram with an image of himself walking through New York City.

He wore a long, dark coat and sunglasses as he peaked out from behind a lamppost. Michael - whose hair is getting longer by the minute - captioned the post: "What are u looking at?"
