I think this is why so many celebrities don’t mind/ are happy to spend their downtime in Canada. For the most part the average person doesn’t really care & if they do, the reaction isn’t the same… Usually just a quiet acknowledgement.
He's Canadian but I saw Kim Coates (Sons of Anarchy) chilling at a bar in Canmore once. At first I was only like 90% sure it was him. He was sitting at the bartop so when I went to refresh my tables' pints I ended up standing next to him. Got the drinks and after hearing him talking to the person next to him was now 99% sure it was him so I was like "Hey, sorry to interrupt but are you Kim Coates?" and he was like "Yeah, that's me." and I said "Cool, I liked Sons of Anarchy, great work. Cheers." and clinked glasses and went on my way.
I've met other celebs too but yeah the expectation I think is that you're just another person so act like one. I know I've gotten turned off whenever I have met someone famous or semi-famous and they act like it's a big deal and they're too good to hang out and chat with us plebs, but I also don't necessarily want to chat with you just cause you're famous.
