Hyper Cringe Combo: Never take pictures of celebrities with the flash on…

You know you really messed up when the flash from your camera makes EVERYONE in a public place stares at you in disgust, especially the target celebrity.

Apparently, someone found Chloë Grace Moretz (Kick-Ass, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Carrie) having lunch at the food court of the Century City Mall in Los Angeles, CA. The guy then proceeded to take pictures of her without permission and with the flash on. This is the result.

Her reaction is priceless, and you can see almost everyone staring back in disgust. This made me cringe so hard to the point of laughing and feeling so much shame at the same time, even though I had nothing to do with it.

But wait, there’s more! I don’t know how many pictures were taken at that moment, but another set was kindly provided on reddit.

You can follow step by step the moment she became aware of her stalker, not that the guy did any attempt to hide it while having the freaking flash on the whole time! Did he have a headlamp on the whole time or something?

Lesson learned: if you ever feel like taking a picture of an underage celebrity, don’t. Just don’t.

Or at the very least ask them if it’s OK.
