He wrote, “Had a not great altercation at the end of my book event in Philly. Look, I’m trying to have a real moment with my audience. If you come to my events and harass me or make me or my fans uncomfortable, there’s no chance in hell I’m going to sign for you. Don’t cross that line.”
The actor then posted a fuzzy photo of a car with no licence plate that he claims belongs to the autograph seekers, threatening to pursue charges. He wrote, “Best photo that I could get but these professional autograph seekers followed us out of the Philly event and then threw soda on our window. They then ran to their car to remove the front license plate so we couldn’t ID them.”

The Canadian actor is well known for his part in the TV series Kim’s Convenience, which he last appeared in in the Marvel feature Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings in 2021. He’ll next be seen in Margot Robbie’s romantic comedy Barbie.
