Waxman Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Staff Writer Feb 17, 2015 10:01 PM CUT A video going viral on [Reddit](http://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/2w7u1e/man%5Fcaught%5Fseeing%5F50%5Fshades%5Fof%5Fgrey/ "undefined") appears to show a man trying not to walk into a Danish TV news station [TV2/Nord](http://www.tv2nord.dk/artikel/338210:Kultur--BiografdirektOer-om-Fifty-Shades-of-Grey--Det-her-slaar-alt "undefined")‘s interview of a moviegoer seeing _Fifty Shades of Grey._ Of course, if the guy were at any movie, the moment would just be another example of a regular person trying not to get in the way of the camera. But the movie is _Fifty Shades of Grey,_ based on the wildly popular erotic trilogy by [E.L. James](http://time.com/3697185/fifty-shades-of-grey-e-l-james-interview/ "undefined"), so the setup makes it seem like the guy really doesn’t want to be caught seeing the racy film. Maybe he was one of those guys who was [dragged](http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/17/nyregion/fifty-shades-of-grey-draws-in-the-curious-as-well-as-the-books-fans.html "undefined") to see it by a significant other. _Read next:_ [_Drive-In Movie Theater Shows Fifty Shades of Grey, Causes Traffic Jam_](http://time.com/3712080/fifty-shades-of-grey-drive-in-traffic-jam/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3712508/fifty-shades-of-grey-man-caught-seeing-film/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3712508/fifty-shades-of-grey-man-caught-seeing-film/"},"headline":"This Guy Really Doesn't Want You To Know He Saw Fifty Shades of Grey","datePublished":"2015-02-17T22:01:05.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:16:56.782Z","description":"He tries to hide before committing to his exit","url":"https://time.com/3712508/fifty-shades-of-grey-man-caught-seeing-film/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
