I think this was fine. Autograph hunters are typically quite entitled and don’t always understand personal space. They’re getting something for nothing and most of them are reselling their autographed items. Russell has seen a lot in his years as an actor and is just telling them up front how to behave if they want his time and autographs. Fair play to him.
Star in Nice Guys 2 already!
“makin’ movies, makin’ songs! And fightin’ ’round the world!!!”
Autograph vultures aren’t people, so it’s okay. They were there to pretend to be fans, then sell their merch on Ebay for a profit.
People are so entitled. Leave him alone
So…Here’s the thing of it – and this is something I’ve generally noticed from conventions and meeting celebrities at aftershows or even when out and about in London.
Most of the time as long as you’re respectful, most celebrities and comic book writers and artists are really happy to spend five minutes engaging, signing a bit of paper (I have an old £5, note, signed by Terry Jones stating “here is your five pound note” which is about the most monty python thing I can imagine him saying) and wishing you well as you both go about your day. Tom Cruise *especially* is phenomenal in public.
*However*
It’s worth bearing in mind that along with fans, you’ve got a large volume of autograph hunters who do things like – ask him to sign it as maximus for example, and you just know that about 20 minutes later they’re going to be up on ebay. These people are as bad as the papparazi, they ruin the moment for everyone, and they’ve made life impossible for people like Mark Hamill, who doesn’t sign autographs in public anymore, and charges.
If those were the people outside of his hotel, honestly fuck em. they’ve ruined the experience of getting a signed photograph for everyone.
He’s been in Scottish highlands recently filming highlander and the locals have only had good things to say about him.
So I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt here as it was most likely scalpers looking to seek crap he signed.
So he told people dont push and dont be a dick. I see nothing wrong here.
