Beauty is tiring. And so is fame! Becoming an idol of the masses, inside and outside the United States, is proving exhausting for Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Wherever he goes, it is impossible for the Dodgers pitcher to walk in peace. Everyone wants a picture with him, to greet him or to ask for his autograph. But sometimes he would like to be a normal person.
Considered an idol and an outstanding pitcher, the Japanese has earned the affection of the Los Angeles fans. You could say they love him. That feeling is transmitted to him in the stadium, in the streets and even at the airport. However, so much appreciation for his figure has him annoyed.
Like many other sports stars, Yamamoto is getting to know the heavier side of being famous. It is often said that sports stars and geniuses are there to serve the public at all times because they owe it to the people. However, this premise forgets that they are also human beings who want to breathe the air in peace.
He recently demonstrated that sense of public overwhelm at Los Angeles Airport with his way of evading fans who were looking for an autograph from him.
Did he ignore his wife?
On Instagram, a video went viral showing Yoshinobu Yamamoto arriving in a black van at the Los Angeles airport. Upon disembarking, fans noticed his presence and approached him to ask for an autograph.
Dressed in a black hoodie, wearing a cap and glasses, the pitcher made a quick getaway. Fans followed him to continue their request, but were ignored by the baseball player.
In the footage, he can be seen getting out of the vehicle and walking past a woman. Social media users spread the version that it was his wife and he did not realize that she was there. The point here is that he is not married. The lady in question is not Mrs. Yamamoto.
For or against what he did?
Los Angeles Dodgers fans are debating the stance taken by their idol in relation to people who just wanted an autograph or a photo. There are those who consider that he should be respected like any individual who wants privacy or who arrives tired from flying
Others say that he had a rude attitude, that it would have cost him nothing to stop and pause for a few seconds to please the fans who were few, including a girl dressed in the Los Angeles team outfit.
