CM Punk says there’s a big difference between the WWE Superstar and Phil Brooks.
Punk recently appeared on GQ’s Actually Me series and explained how he views keeping his public and personal lives separate. Punk said he loves being there for his fans when he’s at work. However, when he’s on the street, he tries to mind his business and maintain a lower profile.
“One of the hardest parts of being a WWE Superstar, for me at least, is the relationship I have with fans in public. You see me on the street, I am not CM Punk. I’m just a dude, Phil, trying to mind his own business and walk his dog and not be bothered,” he explained.
“When I’m at work, I give my all to the fans. I show up to buildings, I go outside and I will sign and take pictures with the fans who are lined up at the building,” he noted. “If you are waiting for me at an airport or a hotel, I will say, ‘No thank you, sir. This is an airport and/or a hotel. This is tantamount to stalking.”
Fans not respecting wrestlers’ boundaries has been a more pressing issue as of late. Many would be wise to take Punk’s advice and give them some personal space if you see them out.
