Crazy fan antics (11 photos)
The downside of fame is not just popular love, but also the obsession of some with their idol. Stalking, harassment, assault, cyber-attacks, cyber-bullying... There are few celebrities who have not experienced all of this.
Fans cannot communicate with their love objects in the same way that friends, parents, and spouses communicate with them. And if they happen to be nearby, at some fan meeting, then most often they lose the remnants of reason and adequacy. Euphoria completely envelops their will and they create complete wildness.
Jodie Foster
The moment of the assassination attempt
When the film “Taxi Driver” was released in the 70s, John Hinckley fell passionately in love with Jodie Foster. He bombarded her with letters of love, constantly stalked the actress, and even enrolled at the university in the same writing courses that Foster attended.
The actress, of course, rejected these manic advances and Hinckley, not knowing how else to attract Jodie’s attention, decided to repeat the scene from his favorite film in which De Niro shoots the senator. Previously, he dashed off a message to Foster, where he warned her that he would soon do something terrible, which all of America would know about. Jodi immediately took the note to the police, but they did not have time to prevent the crime.
John Hinckley attempted to assassinate Ronald Reagan on March 30, 1981. The shooting led to the fact that Reagan himself and three of his aides were wounded, but fortunately no one was killed. Hinckley was sent for a medical examination and it became clear that he was completely insane. He was released from the hospital in 2016, allowed to live with his mother and under strict restrictions.
Hugh Jackman
It is clear from the actor that he regularly visits the gym and then, one day, he diligently trained, not paying attention to anyone. And he did not immediately realize that a lady with a small handbag had sneaked into the room behind him. When she got to Jackman, she grabbed an electric razor from his reticule and tried to attack the actor, shouting: “We’re getting married, right?!”
Wolverine was saved by a fitness club trainer, who was not at a loss and grabbed her weapon from the fan, and then grabbed the woman tightly and held her until the police arrived. The lady explained to the cops that she planned to shave off her “future hubby’s” “nasty sideburns.” The fact that in real life Jackman-Wolverine did not have such rich facial hair did not bother her at all.
Group "Na-Na"
The boy band has received its share of fame from young (and not so young) fans. Moreover, one would hardly want to dream about this in full.
When they came to cities on tour, the girls climbed into their rooms, attacking both inside the hotels and climbing through the windows. Moreover, the girls tried to wait for the boys already being completely or almost naked, hoping to impress the “Nanai people”. If you know at least a little what “tour scratching” is, then you can believe the words of the band members that they pushed underage girls out of their rooms. Many artists admit that when every day there is a flight, transfer, rehearsal, concert, no naked girls can compare with the opportunity to simply sleep.
Once, the crowd, which did not receive the autographs of the “Nanai people,” simply lifted the car they got into into the air and held it in the air for a long time, not allowing it to go.
Alexander Abdulov
The actor once told a terrible story about his fan. He was leaving the service entrance to the Lenkom theater and then noticed that a young girl with a wandering, crazy gaze was standing near his car. Their eyes met, Abdulov reflexively stepped back and it was right. The fan grabbed a bottle of sulfuric acid and threw it at Alexander with a cry: “So don’t let anyone get it!” The actor was lucky, the acid did not get on him, and they managed to detain the girl. Later, doctors found out that the girl suffered from bipolar personality disorder - manic-depressive psychosis. Obviously, her love for the actor, in the stage of mania, turned into madness for her and she wanted to disfigure Abdulov so that no woman would look at him again.
David Bowie
The unique moment was even captured in a paparazzi photo.
A famous musician received an unpleasant gift from a fan right at the concert. Someone in the crowd decided to give their idol a delicious lollipop. The throw was worthy of a professional sniper - the candy hit Bowie right in the eye.
The throw was so strong that the candy seriously scratched not only the singer’s eyelid, but even damaged the white of his eye. The pain was so severe that the performance had to be interrupted and urgently seek medical help. Doctors helped David and he was even able to return and continue his performance. This is dedication to your work.
Robert Pattison
The fame of Robert, who has already played a number of serious roles in quality films, began with the Twilight saga about vampires. The very next day after the release of the first part, Pattinson woke up famous and millions of girls and women passionately wanted their own flawless vampire.
Once, leaving a hotel in Vancouver, Robert wanted to walk along the streets of the city when scissors clanged loudly next to his temple. The woman, with an extremely preoccupied face, was holding the instrument in one hand, not the least bit embarrassed. Fortunately, the bodyguards managed to intercept her before any physical harm was caused to Pattinson.
It turned out that she had been a fan of Robert for a long time. The woman somehow found out where the actor was flying and came to Kanda the day before his arrival to find him and cut off a lock of his hair. She needed the hair to make a voodoo doll.
The same Spanish fan
Robert, by the way, was very resourcefully able to ward off another annoying girl fan who fell in love with him in Spain when he was filming “Small Remains” there (even before the epic with “Twilight”). For three weeks she was on duty outside his apartment, waiting for Pattinson. One day he simply left the apartment and invited his lucky lady to a restaurant. He admitted that he didn't know anyone in Spain, he was bored and decided to have a little fun. In the establishment, for two whole hours he complained about his life in an extremely boring, boring and monotonous manner. The girl was able to escape from this “date” and Robert never saw her again at his house or hotel.
Anna Kournikova
The tennis player has many fans, but one in particular stood out. In 2005, he swam the entire length of Biscayne Bay just to get into Kournikova’s house.
But he was disappointed because the fan simply mixed up the houses and hid in Anna’s neighbor’s pool, completely naked. It’s worth imagining the man’s indignation when he found a naked unknown man with feverishly burning eyes in his yard.
Police pulled the fan from the pool and took him away from Kournikova and her angry neighbor.
John Lennon
Before killing Lennon, Chapman asked for his autograph. This moment was captured by a photographer standing there in the crowd.
Dying at the hands of your crazy fan... It's kind of creepy, to be honest.
Mark Chapman has been in a state of borderline consciousness for almost his entire adult life. Perhaps, in this world he was interested in only two things - the music of the Beatles and the book "The Catcher in the Rye".
In his house, he even installed something like an altar dedicated to his two passions. The speeches of active Christian preachers lay perfectly on this basis, and Lennon, just at that moment, managed to jokingly say in an interview that the Beatles are more popular today than Jesus Christ.
Chapman began to consider himself something of an avenger, called upon to punish his now former idol for “pride and heresy.” Unfortunately, he succeeded - John Lennon was shot dead by a crazy loner, Mark Chapman.
Philip Kirkorov
Elena Lukina was a long-time fan of the famous singer, but her latest trick seriously frightened Kirkorov.
She expressed an insistent desire to give Philip his own portraits, painted by Elena... with her own blood. This was already beyond adequate love for the artist, but Internet users thoroughly enjoyed the “art” when the portraits were made publicly available.
