Will Poulter approached at a urinal by fan asking if he's Sid from Toy Story
Will Poulter has revealed he was one mistaken for Sid from Toy Story by a fan in an awkward run-in.
We're The Millers actor Will, 30, revealed the strange encounter, which took place during a recent trip to Los Angeles.
Will was mistaken for the cartoon of evil toy destroyer Sid from Toy Story by one fan – but revealed he "didn't help" his case as he once dressed up as the villainous character.
During a chat with GQ, Will revealed: "A guy at a urinal in LA last week turned to me and said, 'You’re in Toy Story, right?' And I was like, 'Well, that was animated'."
He added: "I don’t want to be rude.

"I also appreciate there’s a meme going round of me — I dressed up as Sid from Toy Story for anti-bullying week.
"So arguably I haven’t helped my case."

Will opened up on the awkward run-in with a fan (FilmMagic)The Guardians of the Galaxy star then added: "But [Toy Story came out in] 1995. I was two. And they weren’t doing it through live action."
Perhaps if they were to do a live-action version of the popular film franchise, Poulter could play Sid.
The character of Sid, who is Andy's troubled next door neighbour, features in Toy Story one and three.
Sid was actually voiced by Erik von Detten, who is best known for his role of Josh Richter in The Princess Diaries.
Will also shared another awkward fan encounter, where he was told by one person he had had a 'glow-up' since appearing in We're the Millers in 2013.

"There's literally 10 years between those two pictures but people don't even realise it.
"Someone in the pub two days ago said, 'Oh, you've had a glow up. Congrats'.

"It's a little bit hard to not accept that as, 'You were ugly for the best part of your life, and now things are looking up a bit!'"
He aded that the comments, more often than not, come across as a 'backhanded compliment'.

He then mused: "It was weird when people started to debate my physical appearance online as to whether it was deemed attractive or unattractive. I am very comfortable and secure in the knowledge that I’m not conventionally attractive as I’ve always had remarks about looking unusual — whether it’s my eyebrows or whatever else, people have made a thing of that.
"I think it just speaks to a wider issue, of: Why are we discussing or spending so much time discussing people's physical appearance? Especially in the case of women.
" But whether you’re male or female, why is that the focus so much? Unfortunately, social media has created this problematic idea that everyone’s opinion on everything matters equally."
