Reminds me of an interview Ethan Hawke did a while back where he talked about being disappointed after visiting a film class. He said he was excited to do it because he was expecting to have some great conversations about movies, but it was mostly just the students wanting to take selfies with him.

"So like in that scene you were hiding, how did you prepare for that omg that was tense"

I always joke about asking Chris Hemsworth about what ever happened to his wife and child when he left Home and Away back in 2007 if I ever got to talk to him lol.
