Real sneezes in stock videos

[gryffin]

As we all know from this list, there's plenty of websites around that offer stock photos and videos, including of people sneezing. These past few days I've been browsing around the M sneezing clips hosted by two of them: https://create.vista.com and https://istockphoto.com. As expected, most of them are acted, with varying degrees of realism: search for "sneezing man" (or "sneezing woman") and you'll find plenty.

However, I think I've found three where the sneeze is real, and very possibly a fourth one too. (As usual, the clips have no sound.)

This one is definitely acted, but I'll post it all the same because it's cuuute

I'll finish with this guy, who's made a lot of sneezing clips. I think they're real, too, and anyway I like the look of his face, so here we go. If they're acted, he's the best sneeze actor by a mile and I want his number, please.

Hey, thanks for sharing! I also wouldn't know if they're acted or not but I agree, if he's an actor he's a really good one 😂

There's MOAR from him on Shutterstock!

https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-1079255975-man-exquisitely-sneezes-while-standing-on-green ("exquisitely", no less!)

https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-1051771969-sneezing-man-stands-by-window

The false starts in the last one are a thing of beauty. There's a link to his instagram, but it appears to be empty (shame!). And still no phone number. Life's unfair.

 

This one, by some other guy, looks real too (1 while in bed):

There used to be a very excellent stock video of a redhead woman having a harsh real sneezing fit in a flower field, including some videos with multiple sneezes in slow motion.  Sadly no audio.  I've been trying to find that one again but no luck yet...

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that one - I’ve other interests, I’m sorry to say - but the other day I happened upon this F single and it seems to me it’s real:

There’s another one with 4 sneezes (still shirtless, still fake, still cute):

I think these are real too:

https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-1091418795-portrait-handsome-male-on-his-phone-sneezing (1, then a false start)

https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-1089453257-young-man-glasses-sits-on-couch-plays (fit of 7 catlike sneezes)

https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-1065982474-portrait-homosexual-man-sneezes-has-runny-nose (1, with a little bit of mess)

https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-1053167252-consultant-call-center-talking-client-through-microphone (1)

I have some doubts about these, but on balance they seem real:

https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-25833518-man-ill-allergy-park-where-flowers-blossom (1)

https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-1052568425-portrait-backpacker-man-sneezing-holding-map-standing (1)

https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-1013269199-man-shorts-stands-sea-sneezes (1)

https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-1008207937-young-guy-has-runny-nose-wipes-his (2)

https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-1008207946-young-guy-has-runny-nose-wipes-his (same guy: a false start, no sneeze)

– the same guy has a bunch of nose blowing videos a whole set of different hankies; in some of the videos he is shirtless

You’re welcome! It was a coincidence: I was so thirsty I started watching the fakes, and I discovered that a bunch of them were real.

This seems pretty real:

I’m less certain about this one, but if it’s acted it’s well acted:
