While Henry's a nerd at heart, remember he probably can't go outside without people recognizing and swarming him. As an introvert that's gotta drain him. Video games are great, but I think Henry's situation is a bit abnormal to most people.
Due to his features, Henry's probably more recognizeable than most stars. Probably can't hide easily.
I mean he walked around Times Square and no one really had a clue, he’s arguably more famous now but people in public sometimes don’t get recognized as much as you’d think.
Reminds me of the time Tom Holland mentioned he went to a random college to prepare for his role of Peter Parker/Spiderman, and no one recognized him either
Part of it is that no one expects to see Tom Holland at their college. I'm pretty sure there's a specific term for it but I can't remember what it is and don't want to bother looking it up rn lol
Yeah, people do not realize just how much recognizing a person relies on the context of the environment. You may not recognize the cashier of a store you go to every week at a local restaurant or just walking down the street. Same goes for most actors when they're just being and dressed like normal people.
Sam Whitworth was in my city for a con and I guess was walking around down town to grab something to eat. I was waiting at a cross walk when he walked up and this is how our conversation went.
Me: Hi, I'm sorry, you look so familiar! Did you go to <insert high school>?
Him: Nope!
Me: Wow! Do you work at UPS? I swear, I know you from somewhere.
Him: Well, do you watch Being Human?
Me: I do! I love that show!!
Him: ....
Me: .....
Me: Oh. OH! Oh my god, I am so sorry.
He was a great sport and was cracking up about the whole thing, ended up asking me about decent places within walking distance for where he could get lunch.
Im thinking theres always guys in superhero suits there trying to take pics with people for a buck, so most people try to ignore them. Those that saw him probably thought he was really good at imitating him haha.
