Noah Centineo Was Being Stalked by Fans, and Calls the Experience "Scary"
Noah Centineo, everyone's imaginary boyfriend, recently discovered the downside of his heartthrob status and newfound fame-that is, he's being stalked by fans.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Friday, Jimmy asked Noah if people chase him, and Noah responded with a story of being chased by fans that was "actually kind of scary." Noah says:
I had this one experience-I went to New York for some work, and I was at baggage claim and I had my headphones on and was just waiting for my bag to come out. And then I feel a presence approach me...and without even knowing, I had to sidestep and take my headphones out and there's like four people looking at me. And I was like 'Hi,' and they were like 'Hey, how was your flight?' And I was like, 'It was good, how was yours?' And they were like 'Oh no no, we didn't fly, we're here for you.' They somehow knew I was flying into JFK and the time I was going there. They parked the same place where the driver parked, so they walked us to the car, and then they followed us into the city. And when we got into the city, I was like, there's totally people following us.
Noah had to ask the driver to pull some Fast-and-Furious-type tactics to shake off the car that was following them, and the experience left Noah shaken up. "It was the first time you look at something you're like oh wow, my life is changing," he recalls. But luckily, the story ends well, with the fans learning their lesson and leaving their stalking days behind them. Noahs says:
There's a beautiful full circle to the story, because I went back a second time to the same airport for a different round of press, and they were there again, the same people-except they added another person. So I walk up to them and I'm like 'Hi, hi guys' and they're 'Hey, we want to apologize,' and we talked it out. I was like, 'Look, I love your love, I love the fact you care about me and you show up here, and that's fantastic, just don't follow me. The rest is cool, just don't follow me.' They said goodbye, and I said goodbye, and then I just walked away.
So if you have a strong, overwhelming urge to follow Noah around if you spot him IRL (and TBH, totally understandable)-please don't! It seems like he prefers for his fans to stalk him on the internet, which is great for me cause I'm already an expert at that! 😉
