The Wild Story Behind The Time Anthony Mackie Was Trying To Be A Nice Guy And Take A Fan Picture And Dealt With Oyster Puke Instead

While Anthony Mackie has been working for a very long time, there's no question that when he joined Captain America: Winter Soldier as Falcon he achieved a new level of fame. Between his performances in the MCU and projects like The Hurt Locker and Twisted Metal, he's proven himself as a brilliant performer and a beloved celebrity. Of course, with that comes recognition, and he has a wild story about one fan exchange where he was trying to be a nice guy for a photo only to end up in oyster puke instead.

During THR's Comedy Actor Roundtable , Anthony Mackie told a wild story to fellow A-listers Theo James , John Goodman , Bowen Yang, and more about the time he was in Vancouver shooting the crazy expensive Netflix show Altered Carbon. He hilariously explained that he was trying to be a nice guy for this customer he met at a restaurant who wanted nothing more than to take a picture with him, saying:

That must have been embarrassing to be put on the spot like that. I can understand Anthony Mackie's hesitation in taking the picture as he's at a restaurant trying to enjoy a nice meal. Imagine if that inspired a long line of fans all wanting their picture with the Marvel actor next.

However, it's sweet that Mackie decided to make a fan happy and give her a once-in-a-lifetime photo with him. After that, though, the 8 Mile actor's fan experience led to an unexpected and very gross twist:

That's such a nasty experience! Clearly, all of that seafood really got to her and unexpectedly ended up in the path of Anthony Mackie. If only he had Peter Parker's Spidey sense to dodge that puke from hitting him.

Anthony Mackie may have had a gross experience getting puked on, but, he continued to talk about an unexpected hero who swooped in to save the day:

Now, that's a waiter who goes above and beyond! It was really impressive how he cleaned off Anthony Mackie and went down the street to get him some clothes. It was smart thinking as I wouldn't want to spend the rest of the day covered in someone else's puke.

But, the story didn't end there as a different lady spotted Mackie and asked for a picture! I guess the fun never ends when you're an A-list celebrity. You can watch the funny story in its entirety below:

While I'm sure going through all of this was no fun for the actor, it makes for a great story.

Hopefully, something like this never happens to him again. However, I'm sure the attention won't die down considering the release of Captain America: Brave New World is coming. The upcoming Marvel movie will see Sam Wilson take on his new role as Captain America, and we can't wait to see the actor soaring on the big screen. However, hopefully going forward, his fan experiences will be puke-free.
