]]>Dafoe recently went viral after being interviewed on the streets of New York City by a TikTok content creator Khan, who didn’t recognize the famous actor.
Khan approached Dafoe and complimented him on his outfit before asking him what he does for a living.
“I’m an actor,” Dafoe says.
“Really? What’s your name? Do you mind sharing?” Khan follows up, to which Dafoe responds by just giving his first name.
Dafoe then reveals that the thing he likes the most about his job is that “it’s always different” and “nothing’s ever the same.” However, the At Eternity’s Gate star wasn’t in the mood to give any career advice to aspiring actors.
“I don’t give advice,” Dafoe explains. “No, everybody’s got to find their own … Just, uh, enjoy.”
Dafoe was also coy when asked how he would like to be remembered and where he sees himself in five years.
The video ended up racking 12 million views since being shared earlier in January, with TikTok users sharing their disbelief about Khan failing to recognize Dafoe in the comments section.
“dude just asked the most recognizable man in the world who he was,” one person commented.

]]>The video started off with a high school football player, Jake, competing with Tom Brady, the best player in NFL history, for a $100,000 prize. The goal of the competition was to pop the balloons at progressively longer distances with a football. If Jake won, he would get the money in his account, and if Brady won, he would get to donate the $100K to charity of his choice.
Surprisingly, Jake managed to beat Brady, who wasn’t all that sorry for the loss and even encouraged his opponent to perform better than him.
Later in the video, Olympic gold medal-winning sprinter Noah Lyles races a fan in a 200 meters race, Philadelphia Phillies’ star slugger Bryce Harper takes on a fan in a Home Run Derby, and amateur golfer tries to beat two-time major championship winner Bryson DeChambeau on a golf course. To level the playing field, each fan was given some kind of advantage. Lyles and DeChambeau managed to win the money for charity, while Harper ended up losing.
The biggest showdown came at the end, when Ronaldo and a soccer fan named Khalid were pitted against each other in a contest that required them to hit targets with a soccer ball. Ronaldo had the opportunity to donate $1 million to a charity while the fan got the chance to walk away as a millionaire.
Ronaldo ended up missing all of his attempts, while Khalid hit three targets and won the $1 million.
