A viral video has resurfaced of NBA icon Michael Jordan sitting at a table behind a vacationing American couple in Venice, Italy. The catch? They didn’t even recognize him.
As one of the most notorious, accomplished, and marketed athletes in history, Michael Jordan must hardly get any privacy whenever he’s out and about in public by himself. But he got to enjoy some valuable alone time in Venice, thanks to an American couple not recognizing him.
TikTok and Instagram user @travelinang reshared an old video of her parents enjoying a nice meal out in the romantic city of Venice. Sitting at the table behind them was none other than the GOAT of basketball.
Not realizing that it was MJ himself, the daughter had to inform her parents that they were sitting in front of someone famous:
No word on if the parents ended up speaking to Jordan. But hey, it’s a good story to tell for the rest of their lives.
By far the most influential and popular American athlete of the ’80s and ’90s Michael Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA championships over an eight-year period (1991-93 and 1996-98) in the ’90s. He claimed five MVP awards, Defensive Player of the Year honors in 1988 and was named to 14 All-Star games.
