Pir8Jenny Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Guilty. Is "hover head" a thing? I sorta leaned my head on [redacted]'s shoulder, and then at the last minute realized I didn't actually ask if I could do that, so I just sorta held my head at an angle. Like my hair was a protective force field or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve read that at a recent event someone asked him if they could stare at his hair while the photo was taken, and he said yes, so just hugging him would be even too normal, the concept of weird is quite relative 2 hours ago, tompain100 said: Then please please please avoid a case of 'hover hand'. It looks so cringe in photos. I think R4 wouldn’t give up the chance to touch Mr Capaldi, am I right? Sometimes celebrities do the hover hand too, though, and it’s not always seen as negative. I remember a post on social media praising Tom Hiddleston for doing the hover hand because he wasn’t touching people without their consent.

Believe me, asking for a hug will not make you a weirdo. Asking to lick his eyebrows would though. 10 hours ago, Broo said: Hover hand? Dare I ask? It's mainly a male on female thing so particularly affects male attendees being conscious of not being to touchy with the female guests. Most of the female attendees just go straight in for a hug with the male guests 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy two photo ops. Buy five. I had a similar experience with Jason David Frank (Power Rangers), over the 2015 and 2016 cons. The 2015 autograph and photo passed by in such a flurry, and it was one of only a couple of times that I felt a bit upset walking away from a guest, because I hadn't made the most of it (JDF was lovely, but I was a bundle of nerves). But I was a lot calmer in 2016, and had a really good experience. He even recorded a video on my phone Edited April 24, 2018 by tenaciouspirit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R4wly97 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I think I’m just going to see how it goes at the photo op on the day, sometimes the best photo ops are the spontaneous ones, I can remember when I met Colin Baker I was just going to pose normally but he could sense I was nervous so we ended up having a hugging photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
