Seeing a celebrity in public is pretty exciting. Getting them to stop for a photo is even better.
A lot of celebrities don’t take the time to snap photos with their fans. They are too busy rushing off to shop or go to some Hollywood event. Seeing a celebrity in real life is pretty rare, but when you do, it’s important to remember how to act. The last thing you want to do is get star struck and forget your manners. You also don’t want to confuse their celebrity friends for complete nobodies.
That’s just what happened to one man.
A man and his daughter noticed Matthew Broderick walking down the street in a small town in New York. They couldn’t believe their eyes and really wanted to get a photo with him. He was nice enough to agree to one, but there was a problem. His friend was nearby and just wouldn’t step out of the photo. It turns out that friend wasn’t just anyone.
A friend of the photographer shared the story on Twitter. He posted:
“A few years ago a friend of mine took his family out to Montauk on vacation and had stopped at a little store to get snacks, etc, and who do they see but that Star of Stage and Screen, Matthew Broderick… …also in the store with a friend. So, my friend politely asks Broderick if he will take a photo with his daughter. Broderick galliantly obliges, but this is a once in a lifetime photo and he wants it to be just right… …so he asks Broderick’s friend to kind of move to the side a bit out of frame, and he moves a bit. And my friend says, just a little more, a little more, keeps doing the nudging motion with his hand. Lots of nudging. Okay he won’t move any farther, fine, we can crop him out… …and they take the picture and go back to the car all big grins to the rest of the family, who all shout in unison WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU??”
The guy they had asked to move out of the photo was the famous actor and comedian Jerry Seinfeld.
How did they not recognize him? Neither Matthew nor Jerry said anything, and once the photo op was over, they continued down the street. They were probably laughing about the experience the rest of the day.
How did they not recognize someone as famous as Jerry Seinfeld? I bet this guy is kicking himself for asking Jerry to get out of the photo. He could have at least asked him for a separate photo. Hopefully, Jerry wasn’t too offended by the mistake. Some celebrities don’t even like being noticed in public, so he might have been relieved.
His pal Matthew probably gave him a hard time about it.
Even after the story went viral, they probably laughed about it. Now Matthew Broderick can technically say that he is more famous than Jerry Seinfeld. I bet the guy doesn’t make a mistake like this ever again. He probably looks all around before snapping photos. Missing a photo op with someone like Jerry Seinfeld once is bad enough. The world would never forgive him if he did it again.
Please SHARE this with your friends and family.
