A chance street interview recently sent the internet buzzing as Willem Dafoe responded to a simple “What do you do for a living?” question. The viral TikTok moment, featuring the iconic actor, has captured millions of hearts and sparked conversations across social media.

After Dafoe identified himself as an actor named Willem, he was asked what he loves about his job. "It’s always different. Nothing’s ever the same," he responded affably enough. However, he was less receptive when it came to advice he'd give others in the acting business.

Willem Dafoe was recently asked what his occupation is in a now-viral video on TikTok — and in it, he revealed he has a policy of not giving advice to aspiring actors. The clip starts with a TikToker named Khan complimenting the four-time Oscar-nominated actor on his outfit.
