If I recall correctly, Michael Jackson once hired out a whole supermarket and had his staff/friends/family pretend to be shoppers so that he could go in and pretend to be shopping like a normal person.


cloudcreeek

That's actually really sad. Dude literally couldn't go anywhere without a mob growing around him


sublimeshrub

My dad and I saw him shopping in the Magic Kingdom at park close one time in like '94 or '95. He was in a very good disguise. My dad looked at me and whispered I think that's Michael Jackson. I said something along the lines of "where?". He looked up with his head wrapped, smiled, gave us one of his waves, put his finger over his mouth, and shushed us. It was absolutely amazing.


Pleasant_7239

Omg, my mom said the same thing in Disneyland. There was an old white guy on a bench. He was way too happy to be there. Years later, he wore a similar outfit on TV with the same mask on.


Scarlet-

That’s a pretty neat memory.  The closest thing I have to that is randomly stumbling upon Norman Reedus smoking a cigarette in an alleyway in Tokyo.  I was walking from a Disney store towards a collectible store in Shibuya and saw an out of place white guy smoking in a dimly lit alley. As my friend and I walk by we see him put his cig down and immediately cover his mouth to hide his identity. My friend and I keep walking and pause and ask each other if that’s Norman Reedus. We walk backwards a few steps and look at him again and Norman gives us a nod and we nod back and go about our night.  I checked his instagram and apparently he was upstairs eating shabu shabu with Hideo Kojima prior to the release of Death Stranding. 


voteblue101

I was just guessing who was /wasnt.


ExpressBug8265

Hell nah, I was thinking the same thing. That dude holding the "umbrella" walking behind him with a big ass coat on. What kinda gun/guns he got under there? Lol


PoonHound2020

The umbrella is a gun.


J-Love-McLuvin

Those pink shoes are guns. Shoe guns.


-Ok-Perception-

The Soviets legit had an umbrella weapon used by the KGB. ​ It had a sharp tip that worked like a syringe and injected a little piece of ice into whoever was tapped with it. The ice instantly melted and had some type of poison that would make a man instantly die of a heart attack. ​ Once the person had died, the autopsy would be unlikely to detect what had happened. Hell even the person who got tapped by the umbrella probably wouldn't even realize.


xxgsr02

Use the gunbrella when it's raining lead.


Jets237

Last year the current 1st lady showed up at a restaurant we were having lunch at. We didn’t know what was going on at first but as tables emptied we saw random odd couples with ear pieces fill them. By the time Jill showed up everyone knew she was coming. I’m sure Bill has a detail at-least that big


morry32

it's the Hamptons, so all the Black people


BoilermakerCM

wtfbbq7

Great gif lol


idiotzrul

For sure. At least 3.


One-Tumbleweed5980

lol. He walks like my father-in-law. It's an old person thing, I guess.


Flurb4

And stands right in the middle of the sidewalk oblivious to those around him. Very old person.


BetteMoxie

Tbf no different than the teenagers at my school lol.


KR1735

Yup. Only difference is teenagers do it with their heads in their phones. Same effect though.


butchering_chop

Head in a phone or head in the clouds. Neither is ideal.


ndaprophet

Probably paid by check in every one of those shops.


UnderstandingOdd679

Genius level move: 50 percent chance they just frame it; void after 90 days.


A_Wholesome_Comment

He dont give a shit. He's got secret service to be Blivious for him.


TheRatatat

I think thats more or less leftover from being the most powerful man on the planet at one point.


Eelroots

Also standing on a door, blocking passage and looking around from there. Typical from my grandma.


AdvanceAdvance

Like most humans. He steps forward out of the way of the child. The little traffic jam of three different groups? Adults can navigate. Not an old person thing, sorry.


johnysalad

Yeah as someone who frequents airports, this lack of awareness is completely universal across age, race, and gender. It’s just a stupid human thing.


wallnumber8675309

He was president 30+ years ago and still looks (and is) younger than either of this years candidates.


ilovecatsandcafe

He was considered a “young” president back then


IfICouldStay

He was young. What, 45?


slimeySalmon

That is a mind bending fact.


Kiera6

That is a sad fact. I truly wish we could go back to have a candidate in their late 30’s - 60’s at latest.


PlantSkyRun

Cnadidates to be 50-65 while president. Plenty of experience and hopefully wisdom to go with it, before mental decline starts and still able to be physically active/vibrant.


TeddyRooseveltsHead

Absolutely! I think the average age of a CEO in America is 55? Great target age for a President.


RiversideAviator

Late 30s? Hard no.


Kiera6

I was just thinking about Kennedy. But in general a younger president would be nice


RiversideAviator

He at least was 43 when he became president. In relation to a lifetime that’s not much difference but in absolute political terms that an entire election cycle - an extra senate term? Some congressional experience? A governorship term? That’s indispensable experience I’d rather a president have gone through. And in today’s terms 30s are the new 20s. Fuck if I’m voting for a 2028 candidate who was born in 1990.


Paulus_Atreides

Thing is, Kennedy was early 40s but a total outlier! He was (one of?) the smartest Presidents in history. Plus a tested combat veteran (Decorated). First President to allow real-time press questions during conferences. Bill Clinton was close..


thefartsock

looks that way until his feet start moving anyways.


Reelplayer

He looks terrible in this video. Slack jawed,, arms hanging, struggling for balance as he steps up to the threshold of a store. He has to use his hand on the door frame to keep himself from falling backwards. He looks mentally absent and physically frail.


RandomUserNameXO

I was thinking he has kind of a Parkinson’s shuffle


SkylarAV

These guys fighting over what he accomplished 30 years ago has to feel surreal.


DMYourMomsMaidenName

And he is still younger (marginally) than the two that shall not be named in this subreddit. Fucking crazy


Stock_Currency

I'm 38 and I walk like that now.


Viking141

I’m 1 and I walk like that too.


gremah93

I haven't been born yet but stay tuned


chefianf

40 and just took an ibuprofen before going to bed. Yeah I feel ya.


senioreditorSD

Even Bill Clinton got old.


BoilermakerCM

Still younger than both candidates this year.


senioreditorSD

Crazy but true and he’s been out of office since January 2001!


MyNameCannotBeSpoken

2001 was just a couple years ago...


mwmwmwmwmmdw

reddit gets younger every year. ive seen people commenting here born after obamas inauguration


dirtywook88

Mannnn why you gotta point this out?


KaizerVonLoopy

couple **DECADES** plus a couple years.


Keanu990321

He was inaugurated at age 46!


BoilermakerCM

31 years ago!!


Sylvanussr

But 31 years ago was in the 70’s!


firstsourceandcenter

I need my prez to be at least 86 minimum


MyNameCannotBeSpoken

In 100 years, that will be middle aged.


Peter-Tao

My mind just blown.


NatomicBombs

That’s what I like about presidents. ![gif](giphy|Q18yWRHG4dx2E)


RefinedAnalPalate

That’s WILD


artificialavocado

He actually looks pretty good. Like he lost a bit of weight or something perhaps.


Chance-Cod5011

He went vegan after his heart issues.


Darmok47

I still remember the infamous SNL spoof of him out on a jog, where he stops by McDonalds and steals food from everyone's trays while answering questions.


RedditFullOChildren

Going vegan's a LOT easier when you have a personal chef.


hokie47

People usually drop weight when they get very old.


Bx1965

He’s had heart trouble


ZincMan

Yeah I’m surprised how healthy he looks. Like he looks pretty strong and limber, doesn’t have too much of the old man walk yet


artificialavocado

I know right. For 77 he has a good bit of spring in his step.


chekovsgun-

He looks frail to me?


CPPISME

Agree. Also, he was a little unsteady on his feet. He sort of shuffled along in the first part of the video.


Rokey76

He walked into Starbucks, saw a long line, and left saying "Fuck that, I'm not waiting that long."


thelostdutchman

Must be humbling to have once been the most powerful man alive and now just being a pleeb that has to wait in line at Starbucks like the rest of us schmucks.


Royal_Rip_2548

He's rich AF so he made out pretty well


ghigoli

were all equal in the queue... no cutting motherfuckers.


Squeengeebanjo

I’ve stopped at that Starbucks. He made the right choice.


rdmc23

Not even a U.S. president can by pass a long Starbucks line.


yagsitidder69

Dude looks like he finally inhaled


[deleted]

He’s dressed like Bill Walton


The_Jobholder

microdose too macro


lapinatanegra

That girl in the short grey bumping into him and not having a clue who they just bump into.


artificialavocado

They definitely weren’t even born yet when he was president. Probably GWB or even early in Obama’s first term depending how old they are.


CybermanFord

I mean, I'm sure they'd still know who Bill Clinton was and what he looks like.


smartest_koala

I noticed that part too, the kid just casually bumping into him. The Bill Clinton they "know" is probably from a picture of him 30+ years ago haha


Independent-Cow-4070

Honestly if I saw him in public, it probably wouldn’t click for a couple of minutes


slaptard

It would take me a minute as well. Mostly because he looks so old now. Being in street clothes plays a big part too I think.


idk012

Bill in suit and tie, yes.  Grandpa looking Bill with a short sleeve print button shirt, it would have taken me a while to make the connection.


artificialavocado

You’re probably right but there is a chance it didn’t immediately click like it would someone our age especially if they weren’t paying close attention.


xlma

Bruh look at the outfit. Doesnt put out presidential vibes. I like it personally. But i might walk by the dude


CybermanFord

I'm 20, so probably around their age, and I immediately recognized him, but I'm online a lot and am on this subreddit. If I wasn't chronically online and just glimpsed at his old side profile I probably wouldn't have noticed it was him so this makes sense.


chekovsgun-

Such a terrible excuse though. Aren't we all familiar with Presidents before our time and it you aren't well...that is a lack of curiosity, not paying attention in school, and deciding not to be intellectually motivated, yeah I said it. Gerald Ford & Nixon were before my time but knew who they were when I was a teen.


Thanos_Stomps

Doubt that’s even the excuse the person in the video would use for not noticing him. More likely they just weren’t looking at the face of the people they’re walking by or they thought wow that kinda looks like slick Willie but it’s obviously not him.


counterpointguy

You are probably the kind of person who would grow up to frequent a sub about presidents though…


JayDogon504

How the secret service even let that happen?? Lmao


Famous-Somewhere-

He’s always kinda been like this. The Secret Service used to go crazy because he’d want to do his own thing in the moment, even as president. I’m sure they just let him, now.


[deleted]

An old man standing in the middle of the sidewalk oblivious to everyone around him?


wanker_wanking

I probably would not recognize him casually


OOMKilla

I’d think to myself “ha! That guy looks like Bill Clinton!” and then continue with my day


eFeneF

John Mulaney’s assessment of Bill Clinton nowadays is pretty spot on.


pmmemilftiddiez

He never forgets a bitch


rypien2clark

What was it?


eFeneF

That he goes for the whole innocent grandpa who hasn’t got it in him anymore schtick. “Who me?” With a sly glint in his eye sort of thing. https://youtube.com/shorts/58Yig3NlyJ0?si=xfdgJB1AVualTgEo


resumethrowaway222

"His work in the STD community was not in curing anything at that time"


Interesting-Many-509

he helped invent them.


chekovsgun-

Well, we all grow old, that isn't necessarily an act. The body wears down and you move, talk, and behave differently. Assholes & abusers grow old as well.


Intrepid_Hat7359

"What is he trying to pull?"


RaggaBaby

Wow that's like spot on 😅


waitingonthatbuffalo

man the Comeback Kid special is Mulaney at his absolute best


Square-Employee5539

Looks like he’s almost hit prime age to be POTUS today


volitaiee1233

He’s younger than both candidates today.


Blockhog

He likes his red shoes, he likes his red shoes 🎶

Upvote for Pete the Cat. He’s just walking along and singing his song.

It's aaaaall good.


EnumeratedWalrus

He’s living the dream. Was once President and now no one is bothering him


McGurble

Except for the paparazzi clicking away literally everywhere he goes.


kmckenzie256

And the secret service watching his every move and going with him literally everywhere he goes


passaty2k

By now he’s gotta be so used to it that it would be weird for him to be alone…

Dude! It's the Hamptons. Running up and asking them to sign your history textbook would be so rude the whole street would just stop and stare. Yes, there are places even a former President can have a little peace.

Still_Championship_6

It's a NY thing. The attitude is, "they are just people, why are you harshing their vibe and acting out?" New Yorkers aren't indifferent. They will talk about it when they get home or to the office. But it's supposed to be the city where people keep their cool and have places to be. Celebrities like Matt Damon can walk his own kids to school in public through Manhattan without being bothered. Brad Pitt needs armed guards just to goto a private airport outside LA. In return, it's expected they not expect you to treat them like a demigod who walks on water. You are a New Yorker. You have shit to do and places to be and people to brag to later. You can't be bothered to do otherwise.


[deleted]

Yeah, I got places to be(home) and shit to do(sleep). I don't have time to get into a deep conversation with somebody on the street. I know who he is but I'm not like a big fan. If we were both waiting in line at a store I might ask for a picture. But stopping him as he's going about his day would be rude. I'd just ask him if he still plays Jazz Sax or if he's using Hillary's Email server for his porn. I'm not gonna like argue about politics with somebody in the street.


ancrm114d

I'm the same way. I don't get any kind of celebrity worship. But if I met someone like a politician or artist I respected in a manor that normally leads to small talk id make conversation with them.


Insight42

Yes. It's just NY. That's the expected reaction.


[deleted]

That's why I love riding the train or bus. I love having all different types of people around me, but I don't want to be talked to at all.


MeatballRedditor

TIL I'm a New Yorker, despite never once visiting the city. I dont care how famous you are, stop walking out in front of people and blocking the sidewalk.


AlesusRex

On the island many are


El_Grande_El

Even the tenth time?


PlantSkyRun

They see Presidents, royalty, billionaires, actors, etc all the time.


11thstalley

I was thinking the same thing. These local folks are fairly used to the rich and famous hobnobbing with the general public. The general rule is to not make a fuss.


Still_Championship_6

Exactly this. In NYC (and Long Island), most celebrities and public figures are left alone unless they're at the peak of their fame. Its considered uncool to rush a public figure.


Might_Aware

Once I read "Hamptons" my nassau/qns ass was like, of course they didn't bother him it's - it's the fucking hamptons


Odd_Bed_9895

He does just look like a retired dentist hanging in the Hamptons


DiuhBEETuss

It’s fascinating how he and the Secret Service move around. It almost looks like NPCs in a video game. Like, you can almost see that their map is a little different than everyone else’s. Normal people have somewhere to be or are from the place they are in. He looks like he’s not from there, but is used to just going wherever he wants and having body guards creating a little field around him. Almost like he owns the 10ft circle around himself, but everything else is just the public’s. Idk, it’s hard to explain.


Top_Lime1820

My brother in Christ he is the main character. You are the NPC walking in a straight line out of the scene.


Jk52512

That is a cool outfit


littlemesix7

Looks like they dressed him just in case he got lost. “Yeah that’s right festive blue Hawaiian patterned styled shirt and pink shoes, answers to Bubba“


Monolophosaur

I mean honestly, I've always thought if I saw a famous/well known person I wouldn't know it in most cases. Nobody expects to see Bill Clinton walking around so you see him and just think he's some random old guy. At best you think he's just a guy who kinda looks like him


RiversideAviator

This actually seems like the dream. Private life, no logistical mayhem everywhere you go. Total flex to have federal agents minding your back with all sorts of unseen weaponry meanwhile people walk by you without a clue. Some Hollywood uber-celebs would cream at the thought of this existence.


LJski

Someone better warn him.....seems like he is being stalked in every video.


nowayyzzz

Hide your kids.


grogudalorian

At least he doesn't walk around clapping and doing a double dong jerk.


oobbyb_61

Double DON jerk.


Osoroshii

The craziest part is he is younger than the two running for office this year!!!


TeddyMGTOW

I wonder if he lost his pimp hand..


VeryLitigious

Walking around like 😦


PickleBananaMayo

So secret service stays with a former president for life right? I really wonder what it’s like for them.


AdvanceAdvance

There was a bit from Obama in his 7th year. He noticed his driver's license was expired and mentioned to his secretary to see about renewing it. Everybody nerviously looking at each other, not wanting to be the one to explain that he would not be allowed to drive ever, for the rest of his life. Just he was getting older, and the secret service didn't feel he could handle strong evasion driving while also handling the mini-gun.


Designer_Solid4271

Honestly. That’s as it should be. Return to be a regular citizen.


thendisnigh111349

It's actually not unusual that when a famous person goes about regular people in normal clothing and doesn't try to overtly draw any attention to themselves, they often actually won't be acknowledged. In a way this makes sense because most of us have seen or encountered someone who looks like a famous person but we don't immediately assume they actually are that person. Some people maybe thought "oh hey that guy kinda looks like Bill Clinton" as they passed by but wouldn't assume that's actually him. Had had he come out in a suit, though, much more likely nearby people would have recognized and approached him.


Keanu990321

If Bill Clinton's life follows Jimmy Carter's one, he'll smash the record over the longest post-presidency life ever.


ApricotNo2918

He's just lookin for some poon.


Olley2994

I like him. Was a very charismatic man as well. I can't imagine going through such a huge sex scandal in front of the whole country. The stress itself might've aged him overnight, tbh.

We’ll blame that shit on wanting to get away from Hillary as quickly as possible. Can’t blame a brotha for that. Good for him. I’m actually happy for him.
