A Hollywood ‘nepo baby’ has broken his silence on sensational claims he was the protestor in a video that went viral during the Los Angeles riots.
In the clip, a protestor is seen yelling at some of the National Guardsmen whom President Donald Trump dispatched to quell the mob violence that has broken out in response to a raft of ICE raids targeting illegal immigrants.
‘You’re on the wrong side of history,’ he bellows. ‘We know you got a job to do, but you took an oath to the Constitution, not to the fascists in the White House.’
As the footage circulated, a wild rumor took hold that the man was in fact Wyatt Russell, the 38-year-old son of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn.
Now Wyatt’s spokesperson has officially put the kibosh on the speculation, saying categorically: ‘This is indeed NOT Wyatt Russell, and we have been working to try and correct the mis-identification,’ via the Independent.
The person in the video turns out to be a left-wing political activist called Aaron Fisher who used to be a staffer for the Ohio House Democratic Caucus.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Wyatt’s representative for comment.

Aaron Fisher is now a partner at the Florida-based firm Statecraft Digital, which bills itself as a ‘holistic digital communications agency & strategic partner to candidates, political organizations, non-profits, and movements,’ on LinkedIn.
In the viral video, Aaron upbraids the National Guardsmen posted nearby, asking them whether they feel ‘feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks?’
He adds: ‘You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history. We know you got a job to do, but you took an oath to the Constitution, not to the fascists in the White House.
Aaron shouts: ‘Think about what you’re doing now. Think about what this means. Coming into our community, peaceful f***ing community, people working their job.
‘They send in men in military fatigues, weapons of war, into our communities, and you stand here and you allow it. I am sick and tired of it. You should be sick and tired of it.’
He then demands: ‘You think any of these people in the White House sending you these commands give a f*** about you? Not one of them do! They laugh at you!’
Urging them to ‘think about your place in history,’ he says: ‘Ask yourself when you wake up tomorrow. I don’t know if you have kids. Ask yourself the future you want for your children. Is it this? You can answer me. Is it this? Do you feel good about this?’
After the video spread online and Aaron was roundly mistaken for Wyatt, the protestor was asked about the confusion and said: ‘I found the mixup to be pretty humorous, and glad it helped to amplify the message.’

He added: ‘The proliferation of the words themselves, and the movement behind it, is what matters most. The deployment of the National Guard against the wishes of our Governor is dangerously un-American, and I will continue to peacefully protest in my community,’ via Entertainment Weekly.
Wyatt meanwhile has followed his parents’ footsteps into the acting profession, acting on shows like Black Mirror and in movies like Everybody Wants Some!!.
He is now part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, playing a character called John Walker whose aim is to become the next Captain America.
Wyatt has played John in the series The Falcon And The Winter Soldier and the movie Thunderbolts*, and will also feature in Avengers: Doomsday.
He has worked with Kurt on the Godzilla show Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and has been cast in an upcoming Steven Spielberg movie about UFOs, alongside such names as Emily Blunt, Colin Firth, Colman Domingo and Josh O’Connor.

Before he became an actor, Wyatt was a professional ice hockey player in Europe, but suffered injuries that forced him out of the sport in 2010.
Although Wyatt is the only child Kurt and Goldie had biologically, Kurt has also become a father figure to Goldie’s other children.
Her son Oliver Hudson and daughter Kate Hudson, whose biological father is the musician Bill Hudson, both refer to Kurt as ‘Pa.’
Goldie and Kurt, who both went through divorces before becoming an item, never married each other despite spending four decades together.
During an appearance on Loose Women in 2015 Goldie quipped that ‘we’ve been married before, it didn’t work, so why do it again?’
Wyatt has been married to his second wife, As The World Turns actress Meredith Hagner, since 2019, and they share two sons.
