Mr Duffy felt compelled to set the record straight after American reality TV star Kim Kardashian said on her reality show, The Kardashians (2022 to present), that she thought the moon landing had been faked. The episode was posted to American streaming service Hulu on Oct 30.

Hours after the episode was released, Mr Duffy addressed Kardashian in a post on social platform X.

“Yes, we’ve been to the Moon before,” he wrote. “Six times.”

In the scene on the show, Kardashian, 45, is scrolling through her smartphone while talking to her costar, American actress Sarah Paulson.
