Man Pretends to be a Celebrity: Everybody Believes

Here in Celebritology, we often discuss what it means to be famous.

In a video that has rapidly gone viral, an average New Yorker has demonstrated exactly what is required: an entourage, crazed photo snappers and confidence.

A guy named Brett Cohen — who has since identified himself to the New York Daily News, as a 21-year-old student of the State University of New York at New Paltz — and a friend recently decided to shoot video of Cohen walking around New York’s Times Square with all of the aforementioned elements. Their mission: to find out whether he would be treated like celebrity.

 

Not only was he, but many “fans” clamored to have their photos taken with him and became convinced, for reasons that remain mysterious, that he was in one of the “Spider-Man” movies. (Another gentleman says he’s heard his first single and that “it’s good.”) Basically, the whole thing is both a riot and a semi-disturbing display of how easy it is to become famous in America in 2012.

I personally find it hilarious

I figured out that if you walk around a college campus and pretend to know where you're going, freshmen will ask you for directions, even if you are just a freshman yourself.

Remembers me of my brother who tried the same - but it failed because of some meddling kids and then the security came... uh, sweet memories. Too bad that I did not have a camera

One of the many reasons I like animals more than humans.

[Zenithia 305]

tutti frutti. I actually find this to be funny since he actually got away with it. I'm surprised that he didn't get into any trouble pulling this off.
