"Every once in a while I get the highly inappropriate proposal which is like, 'Wow, Really! You don't even know me and I don't know you at all, and you want that to happen? Tonight? Ok, I get off work at 7.30.'"
About this Quote
The subtext is about celebrity as a kind of public-access intimacy. Strangers feel licensed to skip the human steps - names, trust, basic manners - because the star’s image has already done the social labor. Johnson’s “Really!” performs disbelief, but it also signals boundary-setting without sounding sanctimonious. He doesn’t have to sermonize about consent or parasocial entitlement; he just lets the absurdity show itself.
Context matters: Johnson is a pop-cultural avatar of bigness - physically, commercially, algorithmically. His brand is genial and approachable, which invites a certain kind of audacity from fans who mistake friendliness for availability. By framing the proposition as “every once in a while,” he normalizes the weirdness of fame without sounding victimized. It’s a careful balance: he gets to be the charismatic storyteller, but he also quietly reminds you that access to a persona is not access to a person.
