I think a lot of people confuse Antonio brown and bell. At least they seem to conflate their issues.
Bell was just trying to get paid, and held out. Hes not a locker room cancer, and a hold out seems very obviously unlikely on a 1 year deal signed halfway through the season. [Reply]
I look very much like a specific actor. That actor filmed a show at the Fox lot, the same lot I work at. It often filmed about 100 feet from where my office is.
So I'm neither rich nor famous but it is astounding how much I got hassled from people who actually work at a studio lot and should know better.
I recently read that this particular actor is a "dick" in real life.
I chuckled to myself, knowing that his reputation is undoubtedly negatively influenced by me and how I handle it. (not well, get the **** away from me strange person) [Reply]

For four years in the mid-90's, I worked on the Universal lot. Our building was just off of Barham and Forest Lawn, which I'm sure you've driven by a million times. Anyway, I'd often have to go over to MCA Records, which was on the opposite side of the lot off of Lankersheim.
Uni required a security guy in a golf cart to take me over to Building #7, which also took me right by the Universal Studios backlot ride, with Jaws, the Angela Landsbury Murder She Wrote house and so on. I can't even count the number of times people on the would see me, point and then take pictures. It was like a running joke to the security guys on the lot.
But I've always had those things happen. In the 90's, everyone thought I looked like Kurt Russel or was Kurt Russell.
Strangely, in the 2000's, everywhere I'd go in New York and Los Angeles, along with new friends and acquaintances, thought I was Owen freaking Wilson! I never understood that one because the shape of our noses is completely different.
I'd go to Vegas and have hot chicks want to take selfies with me or tourists on Hollywood Blvd. ask to take a picture with me. I was game and all but always thought "Man, if THIS is fame, count me out".
I can't even imagine sitting in a restaurant or grocery shopping while having people constantly begging for an autograph or selfies or whatever.
