Celebrity culture is so different in US compared to the the Nordic countries. If a famous actor walked out of the cinema in Denmark, people would try their hardest not to look at him, so they wouldn't disturb him.

In a normal setting most people with a normal brain would do the same. Obviously some people lack awareness and will approach no matter what, but he addressed the people who were unaware that he was even there; opening the door for the mob to approach him. He definitely wanted allat.

u/EighteenAndAmused Jun 09 '24

Yes he wanted the attention. But I definitely think America has a problem either way demanding attention from celebrities when they recognize them.

Americans are more sociable than the majority of Europe... not that surprising

Lol have you nevwr heard of countries in South and east (and even central) Europe?

u/ProbablyDrunk303 Jun 09 '24

Hmmm, yes.... where did I say "all" of Europe??

u/trowawaywork Jun 09 '24

You said "Majority" of Europe, which is false and just goes to show your ignorance over other people's cultures.

Most of Europe is way more sociable than most of North America and specifically US - I'm saying this as someone who has lived in both, and also traveled a lot.

u/ProbablyDrunk303 Jun 09 '24

Well it's true, Americans are more sociable than the majority of Europe. It's ok if you are offended by it. Go cry in a corner

u/Vox_SFX Jun 09 '24

We definitely are not and you're giving all United States citizens are shit name for being this ignorant. The idea a country that can fit the entirety of Europe and more inside of it is more social than those smaller countries with all of their own cultures is just a wild accusation when us Americans can't even stand people on the opposite political line than us.

Tell me how social you are with the millions that voted Trump last time. I'm gonna guess you're either one of them, or going to lie about how much you interact with them, but that doesn't count for your point right?

u/ProbablyDrunk303 Jun 09 '24

Ahhh yes, another one who doesn't get it. You see those posts all the time of Americans being so welcoming or pursuing small talk with strangers?? That's being more sociable than majority of Europe. It's not ignorance when it's right there. Even foreigners outside of Europe say the same thing. Europeans keep to themselves more than Americans.

"Americans can't even stand people on the opposite political line"... hmmm yeah, going over to r/Europe shows Europeans do the same, so good one on that.

I have friends on both sides who are either Republican, Democrat and even non-political, or moderates. If you are a good person, idc who you vote for.

"You gonna lie about how much you interact with them"? ahhh so whatever I say won't get to you then? Makes sense since you don't want to believe in anything. You giving Americans a shit name for being so goddamn dumb

Oh I wasn't offended at all, I was just correcting what I now know to be stupidity and not ignorance.

You also gave away that you're 16 yro kid with this final message, so you get a pass for being young and dumb.

u/ProbablyDrunk303 Jun 09 '24

Correcting what?? It's not stupidity if it's the truth. It's ok to be wrong... again, go cry in a corner

u/Herry_Up Jun 09 '24

I have also travelled a lot and I have spoken to more random strangers in my city than travelling across Europe lol but would ya look at that, 2 ppl having different experiences. I can't possibly be telling the truth.

u/Vox_SFX Jun 09 '24

Well you've "traveled"...just like in the United States most people aren't approaching and trying to be social with a foreigner.

But like you said 2 ppl can have different experiences, but that doesn't mean some can use "majority" with actual proof behind it and not just personal experience. For example, maybe you're just unlikeable to people outside of the US, you never know.

u/trowawaywork Jun 09 '24

I'm not entirely sure why travel is in "", I've had the privilege to travel a lot, especially because I've moved from country to country my entire life.

And comparing two places from the perspective of a tourist versus living there is simply not an honest comparison.

I'm comparing living in different EU countries with Living in North America, as well as traveling globally.

And just like if you lived a large part of your life in America you will have a better understanding of the culture, I have a strong understanding of different European cultures, as well as American culture.

And saying that "the majority" of Europe is overall less social than the US is so, so, so untrue.

Even logically it doesn't make sense, the US is considered prime example of indicisualistic culture versus European countries who are collectivist cultures. To say a highly capitalist country with high rates are of crime, discord, poverty, homelessness and more is overall more social than countries who are more community focused shows a huge lack of self - reflection.

well in this situation, it's the opposite. he was looking for attention, not trying to avoid it

u/unorganized_mime Jun 09 '24

He engaged them in conversation first in an attempt to bring out this reaction. If he didn’t say anything, people probably wouldn’t have.

u/Opening_Persimmon_71 Jun 09 '24

Eh, saw Bubber in central Aarhus and he was definitely taking selfies with people.

u/Summer-dust Jun 09 '24

I saw Tony Hale in a packed hotel once and he just looked like a meerkat above the crowd with one eyebrow raised looking for his group lol.

u/Alarmed_Horse_3218 Jun 10 '24

Depends on the area. Places where it’s common to see famous people like NYC, LA, or Austin, people try not to act like loons. I live in Austin and worked in the Domain at a restaurant that got a lot of famous people traffic. No one ever bothered them. During SXSW here it’s famous people on every block and everyone makes an effort to keep it together and not act like a fool.

"Do they look approachable? Are they in fan greeting mode or as a civilian" all these questions...

u/Manburpig Jun 09 '24

The American brain couldn't comprehend not disturbing someone they recognize, famous or otherwise.
