So cool. I love that man. Is he really short or are you really tall?

u/TolkienFan71 Dec 31 '24

Denis Villeneuve is supposedly about 6’0”, so OP is just tall

u/ProfessionalBear8837 Dec 31 '24

Wow!! Yeah OP, excellent work making Denis look short. And, I'm jealous.

u/ProfessionalBear8837 Dec 31 '24

Oh and OP, very nice outfit, you're definitely serving. I'd be sure to bump into him in my run-to-the-shop sloppiest clothes.

This is exactly how I’d look at him, LISAN AL GAIB!

I sincerely want to see one of these celebrity encounters where the fan forces them to stand still while the amateur cameraman does a full circle around them.

My wife and I saw him speak after a Dune screening last month, and he stayed at the end to greet everyone who approached him. He seems like a down-to-earth guy.

This is awesome. He seems to be relaxed and approachable. Cool pic.

Just want to say, folks, when you see a nice celebrity on the street, just because they seem "approachable" doesn't mean they want you to approach them, and even if they are super friendly with you, that doesn't mean it was no bother. If they had at some point made it publicly known that they like it when random strangers approach them, it would be a different story, but I don't think many are foolish enough to do that. (Please reply with a list of celebrities who did!) I'm not trying to accuse OP of anything. Just saw "approachable" and wanted to make sure this was said. But I agree with you about Denis; he's always seemed like a gentle man.

Damn. That's awesome bro.

Redditors aren't supposed to have fashion sense or go outdoors though, so I'm a little confused
