Celebrities like Elliot generally have no problem with a fan taking a selfie together with them.   There is nothing at all wrong about doing that.   Elliot certainly does not seem in any way unhappy, in either of the photos in this article of fans taking selfies with him.  In fact, he seems to be in very good humor about doing it.  

People here are making way too much out of this privacy issue.   The fact of the matter is this: Elliot would not have his fancy home in Malibu, or his 220 acre property here in Oregon, if it was not for his fans that have watched his movies and TV shows throughout the years.   He owes quite a debt to them.
