      For all your news for that one chick who's famous for a sex video. Check us out. Blehhh. Lol this channel is prolly the same type that would claim Kim broke the internet because of a photoshopped nude. Complete trash lol. The internet is already filled with so much porn. Why the heck would this trick "break the internet" lol

    • @mulder19x95
      @mulder19x95 6 років тому

      So does Harrison Ford. He knows these are just autograph hunters and not real fans, real fans are happy just getting to say hi or chat for a few seconds. There was a video going around a few months back of Chris Pratt dealing with some autograph hunters. A guy curses him out and he flat out says "I just made you like 300 bucks with 3 signatures and you want more? Stop being a jerk man" and drives off. They know these guys aren't fans they just want an autograph.

    @davidgaritta9195 6 років тому +15

    I can relate to what Hamill said to the autograph scalpers. If I came upon a celebrity, I’d want a pic with him/her. An autograph would be cool but to get a pic with one of my idols would be the ultimate memory maker. I hate how the autograph scalpers ruin true fans opportunity to meet their fave celebs

  • @GrandmotherSunshine
    @GrandmotherSunshine 5 років тому +9

    You take a selfie with Mark Hamill. Next time you see him, politely ask if he wouldn't mind signing the printed out photo. If he doesn't want to that's fine but if he does great. Frame it and hang it up on your wall at home. That's a real fan.

  • @BoondocksOfBoston
    @BoondocksOfBoston 6 років тому +44

    Stumbled upon this video by accident. Mark Hamill sounds like a cool dude. Lots of celebrities are against selfies and I'm always hesitant to ask for one whenever I meet someone I admire. So hoping to meet Hamill one day now.

      It's part of the business when a person doesn't want to sign an autograph of a picture of him or herself they refuse to sign it as far as I'm concerned you if they refuse to sign an autograph who wants to watch them movie it was the 1930s and these people were under contract to a major Motion Picture Studio Dave being more trouble than you can imagine they don't want to sign your autograph the hell with them

    The coolest experience I’ve had meeting one of my heroes didn’t involve any souvenirs save my memory of the event, and I actually wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. Met the late, great Chi Cheng in the audience at a show. Talked for a few minutes while the main act was setting up. Asking would have detracted from a genuinely cool experience talking about music, as two fans.

      @studentzero5825 2 роки тому

      I think Mark stopped caring about being a celebrity after "Return of the Jedi" came out. He was perfectly happy doing voice work. He didn't even want to do the ST, and only agreed to do it because Carrie and Harrison decided to do it. I like that he's getting offers for more live action, and that he's choosing stuff that would be fun for him. He doesn't have to do anything anymore. He still owns profit points in the OT so he'll be well off for the rest of his life.

    No wonder why these actors get pissed off these people are hounds and have no respect

    Man, I would not say sign any. All seekers were grown men.

    What is Mark Hamill talking about when he says, "You guys know how to remove things"?
    What's an example of something he would provide them that they would later remove?

      Personalised signatures you write your name on it and then he signs it they wipe it so it’s not personalised

      @@Christizm Thanks. He could solve that by only signing with a ballpoint pen.

    It's terrible how some of these dealers pretend to be fans and hound celebrities and their families at airports and other public places to make a quick buck.

    I don't really get why people want autographs these days you can buy stuff that famous people have autographed themselves. Just take a selfie it's way better

    Seriously, I would love a selfie with Mark Hamill, way better than a stupid autograph.

    Autograph hounds are scum. Collecting and getting autographs is cool. Selling them is OK too. It’s The subterfuge and lying and general lack of courtesy and ethics that make them scum. Sad thing is that to people ignorant to how the whole racket works, they see things like this and assume the star is being an asshole. I’ve actually seen viral videos posted to that effect. Good on the celebs for figuring out ways to weed out the pricks from the real fans. Hamill’s selfies are a good one. In the old days, celebs would only personalize the autographs in order to remove the resale value (which I think Hamill even references when he says ‘you guys know how to remove that stuff - I.e., the personalization)
