People are often surprised when well-known individuals choose to fly on affordable airlines, forgetting that they are regular people too. This exact scenario played out when a woman saw someone wearing sunglasses in line for a flight, sparking curiosity about their identity.
Upon closer inspection, the woman, known as Davlyn on TikTok, was left bewildered. She shared her astonishment at spotting a celebrity, Ed Westwick, on an easyJet flight, a moment she never expected. Westwick, 38, is famous for his role as Chuck Bass in the popular CW series “Gossip Girl” that aired from 2007 to 2012.
The English actor, also known for his part in the TV show “White Gold” and his film debut in “Children of Men,” was seen boarding a flight from London to Naples, Italy, casually dressed in a khaki jacket and sunglasses in a viral video from 2024.
Witnessing this unexpected celebrity encounter, Davlyn couldn’t contain her surprise, covering her mouth in disbelief. Comments on the video praised Westwick for opting for a commercial flight instead of a private jet, with one person calling him a “humble king.”
Others shared their own experiences of flying with celebrities on budget airlines, highlighting the down-to-earth approach some stars take. Despite having the means to fly privately, celebrities like Westwick and Vybz Kartel are choosing to connect with fans by flying budget and engaging with them during flights.
Fans appreciate these public appearances by their favorite stars, seeing it as an opportunity to interact and take photos with them in a more accessible setting. The decision of celebrities to fly budget has garnered positive feedback, with supporters commending them for their down-to-earth and fan-friendly approach.
Social media posts celebrating these encounters, such as an Instagram post by @theshadeborough, further amplify the excitement around seeing celebrities opt for budget flights and engage with fans on a more personal level.
