People often express surprise when celebrities choose to fly with budget airlines, forgetting that they are regular individuals as well. This exact scenario played out for one woman who was amazed to see someone famous wearing sunglasses while waiting for a flight, sparking curiosity about their identity.
Upon closer inspection, the woman, known as Davlyn on TikTok as @davyb123, was completely taken aback. She shared her unexpected encounter with a celebrity on an easyJet flight, a situation she never anticipated, especially since she had only downloaded episodes of Gossip Girl to watch during the flight.
The celebrity turned out to be Ed Westwick, aged 38, known for his role as Chuck Bass in the popular CW series that aired from 2007 to 2012. Westwick has also appeared in the TV show White Gold and made his film debut in Children of Men in 2006.
Boarding a flight from London to Naples, Italy, with three bags in tow, Westwick was casually dressed in a khaki jacket and sunglasses, as captured in a video that went viral in 2024.
Davlyn couldn’t believe her eyes and had a shocked reaction upon realizing she was sharing the flight with a well-known star. Comments on the video praised Westwick for not opting for a private jet, with some passengers sharing their own surprise encounters with him on budget airlines.
Fans commended Westwick for his eco-friendly choice of flying commercial, as it allows him to interact with fans and make public appearances. This decision to connect with fans was well-received, with many appreciating his down-to-earth attitude and willingness to engage with his audience.
Another instance of a celebrity choosing a budget airline was seen with Vybz Kartel and his fiancée Sidem Öztürk, who were spotted on a Ryanair flight. Despite the means to afford private jets, these celebrities opt for budget flights to stay connected with their fans and make memorable experiences for them.
Social media posts celebrating these celebrity encounters on budget airlines have further highlighted the positive response from fans, who value these interactions as unique and special moments during their travels.
