Comedian and actor Sacha Baron Cohen was spotted in New York City, but this time he wasn't playing a character for his next big role. Instead, he blended in with the locals, waiting at a street corner with his wife. As the couple stood at the crosswalk, passersby couldn't help but recognize the famous actor, and in a heartwarming display of New York City hospitality, they showered him with praise, calling him a "mensch" - a Yiddish term of endearment meaning a kind and decent person. The brief encounter highlights the city's unique ability to balance celebrity culture with everyday life.
New Yorkers yelled 'You're a mensch' as the comedian waited with his wife for the stoplight to change.
