regular guy
Just plain folks
A regular guy is an ordinary, unpretentious man—someone relatable and down-to-earth rather than elite or exceptional.
The phrase suggests approachability and shared common experience: He's a billionaire but comes across as a regular guy.
Often used to signal that someone lacks airs or special status, though politicians and celebrities claiming to be regular guys invite skepticism.
