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.
