Brett Cohen decided he wanted to know what it felt like to be famous so he 2 bodyguards, paparazzi, an assistant and a film crew to follow them as they went through Times Square. What a great social experiment that was. Brett dressed like a typical celebrity and he had his hired assistants and photographers wait for him as he exited NBC Studios.
That is when the buzz started. Brett never answered the question who was he, the people were either forced to make something up or take a picture and ask people on Twitter of Facebook. The crowds grew as they walked and by the time the stunt was said and done Brett had take pictures with almost 300 people.
Great job Brett, I hope you enjoyed your 15 minutes as a celebrity. Loved that they just ate it up. That shows you how celebrity obsessed our society is.
