A TikToker named Khan, known for interviewing strangers on the street, bumped into Hollywood star Willem Dafoe. The video went viral on the platform after the influencer seemingly didn’t recognize the actor.

Willem Dafoe was approached by a TikToker named Khan, who is known on the platform for interviewing pedestrians on the streets of New York. The clip reached nearly 13 million views.

What surprised Khan’s followers was that the influencer seemingly didn’t recognize the star of “Spider-Man” and “Nosferatu.” He asked Dafoe what his profession was. “I’m an actor,” he simply replied.

Khan continued his interview and asked him what was the most fascinating thing about the artist’s job. “No day is the same as the other,” the actor replied.

When Khan asked Dafoe where he saw himself in five years, he answered: “I don’t know. To be honest, I have a hard time thinking beyond tomorrow.”


The interview shocked both the influencer’s followers and the actor’s fans because of how casual the encounter was. Many praised the Hollywood actor.

“The guy just asked the most recognizable man in the world who he was,” noted one of them. “He ran into Willem Dafoe casually on the street,” said another. “Imagine interviewing Willem Dafoe without knowing who he is,” thought a third.
