Initially, the actor signed one or two autographs but was soon overwhelmed as the crowd rushed him for more signatures. The situation escalated when fans followed him down the street as he tried to leave. In a video from the scene, Sudeikis is seen walking toward his car with several fans trailing closely behind.
Visibly shaken, the "Ted Lasso" star stopped to ask the group to respect his space, explaining that the crowd had frightened him. He firmly stated that he wouldn’t be signing any more autographs and simply wanted to head home.
Sudeikis is not the first celebrity to be overwhelmed by fans recently. Last month, singer Chappell Roan also expressed her frustration after fans crossed personal boundaries in public. It seems Sudeikis shared a similar sentiment during the Saturday night incident, pleading with fans to respect his privacy.
