If Cole and I are together, we're noticeable. Fan encounters come with the job, and you can't shy away from them.
All my first dates are interrupted by my fame because every picture taken is a fan that you can gain.
Fan mail is one thing, but fans you meet in person are a different matter entirely.
The most difficult thing about being well known? Getting out of a hotel room at 4am.
I haven't had that many weird encounters with fans, thank God.
I can still go grocery shopping and not get mobbed. But when I was in South Africa this summer, I had people asking for autographs, and that scared me.
Yes, both 'Being Human' and 'Outlander' are known for their loyal fanbases. The beauty of both of those jobs was that the characters were very removed from me. So I've been lucky to get off scot-free, without any strange encounters. The wigs, blood, and strange onscreen faces/voices - they haven't found their way into my day-to-day life. Yet.
I've heard when girls meet 'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys, they throw up on them and faint. I wouldn't want to get thrown up on.
Mostly, it's flattering to meet fans. As long as it's in a planned, professional meeting, rather than, say, someone dropping by my home, which is not as pleasant.
The most common place I get stopped by fans is the ladies'.
I've had some strange fan encounters, that's for sure.
I go to conventions all the time. I'm not one of those actors who's public-shy, meaning I don't mind when someone comes up. It doesn't happen often in the real world because people don't recognize me because I was in makeup, but when it does, I don't usually mind it at all if somebody says something.
