There was a pretty bizarre scene outside of a recent Jimmy Kimmel Live! show this week as an autograph hound went off on former Eagles center Jason Kelce.

The angry fan who ranted at Kelce demanding an autograph after Kelce initially snubbed the audience went viral for his rude behavior but ultimately got what he want. But as it turns out, that fan is well-known for behaving like that when he gets near celebrities.

According to TMZ, the rude autograph hound at Kimmel's show is "a regular" at the studio and Hollywood premiers. He is also known for showing up and bothering celebrities when they get their stars on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame. His methods are apparently effective as he is known to have received numerous celebrity autographs in spite of his behavior.

"We're told the autograph-seeker gets famous people's signatures all the time ... and once in a while, he pops off like he did in our video after Jason's Thursday appearance on 'Kimmel,'" the outlet reported.

"Our sources say celebs are just told to ignore the guy if he gives them crap about not signing... but Jason relented and came over to sign autographs after initially blowing everyone off."

Unfortunately for fans who are bothered by that type of behavior, there isn't much that the police can do. Per the report, they only get involved when security get involved, and that particular fan tends to avoid crossing the sort of line that will get them into serious trouble with the law. Police were not called over this particular incident either.

TMZ reported that the man apologized for his outburst after Kelce agreed to start signing autographs.
