Jason Sudeikis says autograph seekers “scared” him and asks them to back off

Jason Sudeikis had to beg fans on a recent outing to back off… and tell autograph seekers that he was really freaked out leaving a club and just wanted to go home.

Eyewitnesses tell TMZ that about 15 to 20 fans were outside the Dynasty Typewriter Comedy Club in LA looking for autographs and waiting for Jason starting around 6:30 p.m. We’re told he left the club around 9:30 p.m.

Once he was outside, he signed an autograph or two – and the rest of the fans kind of piled on to him and asked him to sign for them too.

Jason – who apparently had no intention of actually sticking around to sign – made his way to his car… This is where the video begins, in which fans can be seen chasing him down the street.

Check out the clip… there are a few guys following JS – and at least one who appears to be walking in step with Jason before he stops and asks her to leave him alone.

He tells them that the interaction outside the club – the crowd with so many people at once – left him “scared as hell”… and he says he’s going to his car now and won’t sign anything else.

Listen to his voice… the star is visibly shaken – and he’s almost begging these fans to let him live out his night.

Jason isn’t the first celebrity to be overwhelmed by all the public attention…remember last month Chappell Roan torn fans for Cross boundaries – telling them to respect their space if they spot them on the street.

Apparently Jason felt the same way on Saturday night… and he let his fans know about it.
