Honestly, I kind of hate these memes for this reason, I emphasize deeply with his emotional state, which is why I know I would hate being photographed every time I feel like that. Just let the man just live his life.
I don’t get posts like this – his expression matches nearly every other 40+ white dude minding his own business that I’ve ever seen. These pics/posts have strong “you should smile more” energy
This might be one of the few good things about widespread AI adoption -the value of real-life images and videos must be depreciating when anyone can just generate whatever images they want and most of the audience won’t know or care for the difference.
Or worse (for the paparazzi) - audiences will assume or become convinced that the real photos are AI generated anyway.
With GenAI maybe we can stop taking so many meaningless pictures and videos of people just living their goddamn lives, or people doing dangerous or stupid shit for clout…
It really has to do a number on the brain to be so justifiably paranoid at all times.
That pic of Jonah Hill comes to mind, where he’s just absolutely not having it when he thinks someone is running up and recording him, and then relaxes when he realizes it’s Dicaprio.
And then you realize that the moment was captured on camera, so he actually was being surveilled at that exact moment.
A lot of celebrities are just terrible humans, but surely at least part of that is from the influence of being surrounded and surveilled by equally terrible people at all times. Not an excuse, just a sad observation.
Jeez must be hell dealing with paparazzi

Don’t take pics of random people minding their own business and post them on the internet without consent?
Exactly. Don’t judge me and my RBF.
Why are you talking to me like that. This is my smile.
Yes exactly! The guy in the clouds one is always most puzzling to me. His expression is basically null but everyone reacts like it means something

Right? Maybe? … I hope?
It’s literally what you sign up for when you become a career actor, though.
I’m actually a very talented actor, but I never had any interest in pursuing it as a career for exactly this reason.
That’s crazy. I too am a temporarily embarrassed millionaire.
I’m a really good astronaut but I never went to space because I get motion sickness.

The video, for those wondering. You can hear the camera shutters going crazy the whole clip (gross)
