Hudson Williams was less than pleased with a group of autograph seekers and decided to take matters into his own hands.

After being followed to his private residence in Paris, Williams handled his fans' obsession with fiery means.

When a group of stalkers presented the actor with photos of himself to sign, the "Heated Rivalry" star snatched the photos and began burning them.

The incident was caught on video and shows Williams becoming increasingly upset as he is followed by three men who ask him to sign a headshot while he walks down a street in Paris over the weekend.

"Guys, you followed me to my residence," he told the men. "No 'sorry'. You can't do this. This is really f**king weird."

Williams then snatched one of the markers the men offered for autographs and tossed it on the street.

He then attempted to set one of the headshots on fire with a lighter.

"You can't do this," the Canadian star declared. "You guys aren't fans. You're being really creepy, and you just followed me, OK? You don't do this."

Even though Williams couldn't get the lighter to work, he promised the autograph hunters that he would burn the image at home.

"Now please, f**king leave. You're demented. No 'sorry'. Leave. I wanna watch you hop on your little bike," he added.

Despite the actor lashing out at them, the group continued to follow Williams down the street. Eventually, they apologized and retreated before Williams entered his home.

Previously, Williams opened up about the challenges of becoming a celebrity since rising to fame alongside Connor Storrie on "Heated Rivalry" in late 2025.

"It's a different existence now. Not based on worth or whatever quality of human. But it's a different life," he said on the Shut Up Evan podcast in January. "When you see The Beatles, when you see BTS, there's an element of, 'That's not another human, that's a celebrity.' Which exists in this weird definition that is very abstract. I thought I could empathise with it. But I couldn't fully feel what they were going through until now. Now it's just brought this wave of sympathy because it's not easy."
