Don Cheadle and his Ocean's 12 castmates are no strangers to dealing with paparazzi. Recently, the actor revealed a clever tactic he used to avoid constant cameras while filming the 2004 movie.
Cheadle starred in Ocean's Twelve alongside George Clooney, Matt Damon, and Brad Pitt, among others. During the filming in Italy, where they had a whole floor of a hotel to themselves, Cheadle shared how they would distract the paparazzi by pointing out Brad Pitt, causing a commotion that allowed them to slip away unnoticed.
Reflecting on Brad Pitt's immense stardom at the time, Cheadle mentioned how he could still move around relatively unnoticed, unlike Pitt who was constantly in the spotlight. Cheadle highlighted the challenges of fame, noting that people often feel entitled to invade celebrities' personal space for a photo or interaction.
He emphasized the importance of boundaries and the fact that celebrities are also individuals who deserve respect and privacy. Cheadle's experience sheds light on the complexities of fame and the need for mutual understanding between public figures and their fans.
