Broadway star Laura Benanti shared a video from her recent flight where she says that she was surrounded by a group of theater students who were in their teens. They didn't recognize her.
While the actress shared the moment as a joke at the time, the clip swiftly went viral across different social media apps and drew a wave of reactions from people online.
{img}"I still don't know who she is, and I especially don't care to know now!"- one person mentioned.
Another said that it was obnoxious for a wannabe star to behave in this manner. This is when the actress mentioned that 83% of people on the plane were teens who did not recognize who she was, and that took her by surprise in the video.
{img}Some called her desperate for actually approaching the young students herself and telling them that she does theater, and the reply she received was so cold, many of them rolling their eyes, while some mentioned: Cool!' That's when she ends the story with a cold joke of "RIP!"
