I'm in two minds about these sort of pictures. On one hand it's good to see new content, on the other it's incredibly intrusive - especially if he's at a restaurant or something private.
Can you imagine how the internet would blow up if he said no to a photo request? I think that, in some way, he's forced to say yes.
I see your point, better not keep it then. Gotta delete the post! Don't delete the post! Just as tracey said you're entitled to your feelings and opinions. I can also see where you're coming from, even though I disagree, but that's me not putting people on a pedestral. I also would be way too shy to approach Chris for picture. I once had the oppurtinity to meet one of my favourite bands, and I didn't do it. Even though they're not even remotely famous and I know they appreciate meeting the fans after concerts. I was way too nervous  So I can't even imagine going up to as famous as Chris and asking him for a picture. |

I find many of the pictures in this thread rather unconformtable and intrusive. I can't imagine that Chris appreciates being approached on set when he's working or when he's with friends and family. I find it rather rude, to be honest, intruding Chris's privacy like that. I wouldn't approach him unless it was a public appearance, because I think he deserves as much privacy as any normal person has. I actually kind of agree with you about this. Which may seem ironic. I today saw a tweet with a photo of the tweeter standing next to Chris which she'd had done in a restaurant in Boston. My heart sank and I thought to myself 'why couldn't you just enjoy the fact you'd seen him and leave him alone?' I think personally the biggest act of consideration you could give Chris if you met him in a situation like that is either pretend you didn't recognise him or just smile and say hi. The photo is unnecessary and the posed photo with yourself is even less necessary and then posting the picture on SM is even less necessary than that. He DOES actually like it if people don't recognise him. I haven't looked at the photos of this thread for ages so I'll need to look through it again and go through the pictures. We have a firm policy of not posting 'candids' (to me they're creepy) photos. We'll post non-posed photos if he's at work. We will only post 'off duty' photos if he's clearly given his permission and shows that by posing for them like these. A lot of these photos were taken when he was less well known and this type of photo was less common. Now there are so many of them the novelty has worn off and I'm unlikely to add any more. You're getting into the area of is he just posing to be polite but not really enjoying it. It's a very valid point but hard to call. |

After I realized he was kind of forced and clearly not enjoying it. Sorry again guys, It was all my fault. I didn't think twice before posting it. |

My mother was the kindest soul on the planet and she always told me to never disturb a celebrity when they are eating or with their family. That's just being a kind person with good manners. He deserves some down time. Why would you bother another person while they are eating? Or while they are trying to spend time with family? I'm not a celebrity and if anyone interfered with my family time or meals I don't think I could be kind hearted about it. I'm not a celebrity but it's no different than people knocking on my office door during my lunch hour...ignore. it's me time!!!

I always figured it this way with pictures online--- if the actor/actress is in costume, running around a set (esp. one that is on an otherwise public street, where peoples' apartments look down into the set) with cameras around, they know there is a chance someone is taking their picture and I don't feel too creepy about seeing those pics and going, "Wow, looking good on the set of that movie!", or, "Wow, the costume department are not going to like that he's drinking grape juice in that white shirt". If the actor is with their family, has a grocery bag in hand, is at dinner with someone (girlfriend, coworker, niece, husband- whomever), then it feels intrusive and creepy to me, to look at the photos. Granted, that's just me going off how I'd feel if the roles were reversed. If the actor is in costume, at work, and are not in/near their trailer - I'd say, generally, that's fair game. When they are clearly on their own time... not so much.
As far as fan-photos go, I've never been comfortable going up and asking for one unless it's something like a photo event at a Con. I knew someone who had been on a ride with a celebrity, and she bought the photo of everyone screaming just so she could have that picture. Part of me thought, "Can you imagine stopping to think about going on a ride with your kids, at a theme park, because someone might buy the photo of you and your kids screaming, and then post it to social media?", and I just thought it seemed creepy to me. Especially since the man's children were in the photo. I agree with the previous poster/comment, about how if you recognize Chris E., just pretend you don't know who he is, OR smile, nod, and then move on to leave him alone. I think if he was, say at Disney World with his siblings and nieces/nephews, he would appreciate that someone who bumped into him might give him a smile that made it clear they knew he's "THAT CHRIS EVANS!", but the moved on so he could keep being Uncle Chris in peace.

So I can't even imagine going up to as famous as Chris and asking him for a picture.
