TMZ can be pretty invasive. They did an airport interview with John Goodman in 2018, and you could tell Goodman did not want to be there.
In a subsequent TMZ interview with Goodman, he was more hurried - and wearing sunglasses.
I wonder if people working at LAX or airports flying to LAX tip TMZ off as to what celebrities are flying. Especially these days where celebrity status is diffuse, and people can hide wearing hoodies, hats, and sunglasses.
Seems like TMZ has its share of sources.
You can tell that Rhoden was uncomfortable with that interview.
