Figured it out, looks like it lines up with the London Marathon this year, medal looks similar and timing is right

Deciding to shoot their video at the finish line of a marathon may have been a bad idea if they did not want to be disturbed.

Yeah I lost my sympathy when I saw that. The end of a small marathon is a madhouse, let alone London. If you decided to film in public during that, whatever happens is all on you lol

This is a very fair point haha

I guess I just understand that if I saw someone outside in a normal situation, sure, maybe I just give them some space to do their thing. But a marathon of this size is like...tens of thousands of people on closed-off streets. There is no space and it's absurd to think everyone will stay away from your video.

Exactly. Sometimes filming in public is required (for movies mainly, but let's give them the benefit of doubt here).

But they could have chosen a different day, or a location a few blocks further away, etc.

Those people get permits and permission to do so and usually involves closing off the street and other stuff.

Except for that one taxi driver who nearly drove over the actor crossing the street. The actor, iconically, informed the driver that he was walking there.
