Jason Sudeikis Left ‘Scared’ By Overzealous Fans’ Behavior, Begs For Space

Jason Sudeikis was left “scared” after overzealous fans stalked him for an autograph over the weekend.

The actor, who managed to sign a few items, was quickly swarmed by fans as he left The Dynasty Typewriter comedy club in L.A., causing him to beg to be left alone.

The incident comes after Jason Sudeikis teased his preferred choice in the forthcoming elections by wearing Harris-Walz merchandise.

The Emmy winner was seen making a startling plea to a group of autograph seekers who trailed him for hours, even down to a parking garage.

Eyewitnesses told TMZ that about 15-20 people were waiting for Sudeikis outside The Dynasty Typewriter Comedy Club in L.A.

The overzealous fans were reportedly on the scene around 6:30 p.m. when he arrived and stayed back until 9:30 p.m. when he was seen leaving.

Upon exiting the club, Sudeikis was met by a large number of fans who sought to have their items signed. He then proceeded to sign one or two autographs before he was swarmed by the rest, who clamored to get their items signed, too.

A video shared by the news outlet shows Sudeikis, who appeared not to be in the mood to grant an autograph, heading towards his car while being chased down the street by the crowd of autograph seekers.

“Guys, please, stop, stop, I’m not going to sign anything,” he told them. “I literally have to go!”

“I’m sorry, that was a lot, that scared the sh-t out of me. For real, I’m just a human being. Please, I’m going home – good night,” he added.

The “Horrible Bosses” actor was recently seen sitting courtside at the Liberty-Aces game over the weekend, where he seemingly flaunted his preferred choice between the Democrats and the Republicans in the upcoming November elections.

Sudeikis wore a black sweater that read “Harris & Walz & Joy & Liberty” to game 1 of the semi-final series.

According to the Daily Mail, he paired his sweater with black pants and seafoam Kevin Durant sneakers with pink laces.

He was seen shaking hands with fellow New York Sports fan Spike Lee. The pair also posed for photos with director Ezra Edelman and Clara Wu Tsai – co-owner of the Liberty and Brooklyn Nets.

Reports surfaced suggesting that “Ted Lasso” co-creator Bill Lawrence is patiently waiting on Sudeikis to make a decision about a potential reprisal of his role in a possible spin-off.

Although the hit sports comedy-drama aired its season 3 finale in May 2023, Lawrence is reportedly keeping his hopes up about the show returning to screens.

“Groupthink sometimes happens, even without talking to each other, and every actor, actress, writer, producer on that show — and [we didn’t get] together and decide this was the message — we all loved the experience,” Lawrence recently told Collider about the future of the series.

He continued, “As fans, we’d all kill if it was going again, but everybody would say the same thing, which is: ‘whatever Jason feels like doing and whatever his decision is, we’re all down with it.'”

The comedy series follows Sudeikis’s character, Ted Lasso, an American college football coach, as he heads to London to manage AFC Richmond, a struggling English Premier League soccer team.

However, filming comes with a price, as cast members often have to be away from family members for a long time.

Lawrence acknowledged the sacrifice Sudeikis would have to make for a potential season 4, referring to the actor’s obligations to his two children with ex-partner Olivia Wilde.

“Not only is he the star, he’s the head writer, and he’s also the dude whose life just has to be completely overhauled and moved to a foreign country with young children,” he noted.

Lawrence added, “It’s a big deal. So, as a fan, if someone’s like, ‘Oh, it’s gonna happen again,’ I’ll go nuts. As a partner, I’m down for whatever he wants to do.”

According to People Magazine, Sudeikis and Wilde ended their seven-year engagement in November 2020.

The pair have been locked in a custody battle for their kids but agreed to joint custody in September 2023, with the actor paying $27,500 per month in child support.

“It’s been amicable and they’ve transitioned into a great co-parenting routine,” a source said of their split at the time. “The children are the priority and the heart of the family’s relationship.”
