Three actors appear as creeps trying to take advantage of a drunk woman in a viral video, but they’re telling INSIDE EDITION they were duped.
In a video that's gone viral, a pretty young woman staggers along the Hollywood Walk of Fame pretending to be drunk. It doesn't take long for guys to try to take advantage of her.
One guy says, "We're going to go somewhere else."
The girl responds, "Where are we going to go?"
"To my house!" answers the guy.
Another man approaches the girl and says, "I was wondering if you'd like to hang out. Go back to my spot."
And while she is talking to a different guy, one man walks up to her and says, "Whoa, whoa, whoa. You're not going with him. You're coming with me."
Pretty repellent behavior, right?
The video has gone viral with nine million views and counting on YouTube. It was inspired by another famous video showing a woman getting a barrage of catcalls in New York City.
But this video is a hoax. The guys are all actors, and they say they were duped and are furious at being portrayed as creeps.
One of the guys in the video, Josh Blaine, told INSIDE EDITION, "They asked me if I'd be in a video and pretend like I was trying to pick up a drunk girl."
Blaine is a tour bus driver who says he thought he was helping out a student film maker.
In the video, Blaine leads the girl to his car and says, "Here we are! All right."
He told INSIDE EDITION, "I wouldn't have agreed to it if I knew they were going to make me look like a sexual predator."

Another fellow that tried to lure the "drunk girl" back to his place is street musician Bruce Cherry.
In the video, the girl says to Cherry, "Can we get more beer, too?"
Cherry told INSIDE EDITION, "I don't want anybody to look at me and think that that's me. I have been sitting here for eight years without any problems."
He says he was given directions on what to say and do.
"These people are just greedy. They want to make money. They want to make a quick name for themselves," says Cherry.
Salesman Mike Koshak says he was approached on the street and asked to play the role of a creep. Now, he's devastated by how it makes him look.
In the video, he says to the girl, "Come with me. I'll take you to my place."
Koshak told INSIDE EDITION, "I was tricked into playing a part that was not me at all. You see, this guy is a predator."
The video was made by a student from Berkeley.
And that so-called drunk girl? She's an actress and model named Jennifer Box.
