Recently, Indonesia's President Prabowo Subianto thought he was having a private conversation with US President Donald Trump during Middle East peace talks in Egypt.

However, a hot-mic incident revealed Prabowo requesting Trump to organize a call with his son Eric, who hold positions at the Trump organization.

This was just one in a series of missteps made by world leaders when they assume they're off the record.

Below are five other noteworthy blunders:

Organ Transplants and Everlasting Life

During a defense ceremony in Beijing in early autumn, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russia's head Vladimir Putin were recorded discussing organ transplants as a approach for extending lifespan.

"Human organs can be continuously replaced. The more you extend your life, the more youthful you get, and you can even reach eternal life," the Russian translator was recorded stating.

Xi, who was not visible, responded in Chinese: "Experts forecast that in this century people may reach 150 years old."

'Water Lapping at Your Door'

Former Australian border protection chief Peter Dutton came under fire in 2015 when he joked about the plight of residents in the Pacific facing ocean encroachment.

Dutton was conversing with then-prime minister Tony Abbott, who had recently come back from environmental talks with regional heads in Port Moresby.

Observing how a migration discussion was running on "delayed schedule", Abbott replied: "We had a bit of that up in Port Moresby."

Dutton added: "Schedules become irrelevant when you're about to have the ocean reaching your home."

These remarks provoked anger from Pacific Islands and climate activists, while the opposition Labor party called for Dutton to apologise.

'Prejudiced Voter'

While serving as UK PM Gordon Brown was on the trail in 2010, he encountered a voter who challenged him on migration and the economic situation.

Still wired up to a Sky news microphone when he entered the car, Brown was recorded stating: "That was a disaster – they should not have placed me with that woman. Who thought of that? Absurd."

When questioned about she had said, he answered: "Everything, she was just a prejudiced person."

The scandal received extensive coverage for an extended period and Brown went on to lose the political race.

'I Can't Stand Netanyahu. He's a Liar.'

Ex-American leader Barack Obama was in conversation at the international conference in Cannes in 2011 with then French president Nicolas Sarkozy when their comments about Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu were captured by a active recording device.

Sarkozy stated: "I can't stand Netanyahu. He deceives."

Per a version from a French interpreter cited by Reuters, Obama responded: "You're fed up with him but I must work with him more often than you."

'Total ***hole'

A classic hot-mic moment from then US presidential candidate George W. Bush occurred when he made a disparaging remark about a reporter from The New York Times.

The GOP candidate was unaware that a microphone was live when he turned to Dick Cheney at a political event and said, "That's Adam Clymer, major league asshole from the New York Times."

Cheney answered: "Oh yeah, that's true, big time."
