Public figures and celebrities are often known for having crazy fan moments, often wholesome and often scary. During his interview with Sports Illustrated in 2018, John Cena spoke about a variety of things, including his moments with his fans.

Cena said, No super crazy moments. Just I am really good at making people understand the situation. Like, if people follow you into a bathroom, or wanna take a picture, I will absolutely be like, ‘We are in a bathroom. I am about to urinating or defecating. You sure you wanna kind of hang out right now? Because that’s what you are asking.’ “

The 45-year-old further stated that as a public figure, they are often subjected to cameras in the public, but that does not mean they cannot do their job. He stated, a lot of times when working out, you know a lot of times you would just feel like an exhibit. Cameras on all the time and you kind of go through an arc of acceptance.”

He stated that celebrities are often abrasive to these in the beginning. However, with time, they gradually they go through an arc of acceptance. Often hating these behaviours, these public figures gradually understand their fan’s behaviour and accept them.
