This might be one of the best prank videos I’ve ever seen. A regular dude named Brett Cohen decided to trick thousands of people in Times Square in New York City into thinking he was a celebrity. Sounds difficult? Not really. Brett hired photographers and “bodyguards” to follow him around – and total fandamonium ensued. Despite the fact that he’s not even close to a celeb, everyone acted like they knew him and got super excited to take their picture with him.
This is crazy! It shows how desperate people are to meet a celebrity – so desperate they don’t even question who they’re meeting. I wonder how they felt when they saw this video?

I think we idolize these ‘celebrities’ way too much. We give them more worth than we give ourselves. They are just people like you and I! I don’t get what’s the big deal.
