Tomato head man at airport?


I just finished watching this movie on Netflix streaming, and 2 hours and 53 minutes in (near the end, when they are at the airport) I saw something that confused me.

Staffan is at the desk of China Airlines, and Birgitta is standing aside, looking out across the terminal. We see a wide shot of the terminal, the counter and Birgitta are visible in the back, and the foreground features seats filled with waiting passengers...

BUT!
One of the people seated in the waiting area seems to have a large orange tomato in place of his head.
Has anyone else noticed this?
I took a picture of it, not the best quality but it's pretty obvious.

You can see him in the top right quarter of the screen, and his head is about level with the bottom of Birgitta's dress.
Anyway, I know this has nothing to do with the plot, but does anybody have any idea what that is?
I mean, a cheesehead would seem outrageous to anyone who's never been to Wisconsin, am I just oblivious to a cultural hat of some mind?
Surely the tomato head man wasn't intentionally put there by the filmmakers... was he?

Any insight would be appreciated!

Hahahahaha!!!
Nice catch :) That scene pops up at ~ 2:53:58, just checked on Netflix.
Best guess: the *tomato* is a lantern hanging from the ceiling, but it looks funny indeed. Thanks for the laugh.
