For those who had real-life celebrity encounters, who was rude and who was actually nice?
#Reddit #AskReddit #celebrity
I deadass have never heard anything bad about Keanu Reeves. In a time where a lot of my favorite celebrities are revealed to be total assholes, at least I know Keanu is still out there.
I’m glad his career made a come-back. :)
Saw him take the subway during the John wick series. He got up for an older lady to take his seat.
"I asked Amy Lee for an autograph for my dead brother who introduced me to Evanescence, she just gave me the biggest hug"
Amy Lee has a dead sister and that's why I'm crying right now
I believe that she wrote a song about it: "Hello" from their first album.
@@makidtrej She did :(
I met Zach Callison (The voice actor of Steven on Steven Universe). It was a small convention and he was supposed to only be doing payed photos or autographs, but I had no money to spend and just asked for a hug. He was more than willing and stood with me for a few extra minutes just to chat, since he had time. We found out we're both allergic to cats, and he called me his allergy buddy! 😊
Aw🤗
No shit man! I saw Noelle Stevenson one time in LA and incase you don’t know, she did the reboot of She Ra on Netflix. I didn’t want to waste her time so I just said “Hey Noelle” and she smiled and waved back at me. I swear they need to put Noelle on the MT.Rushmore of children’s entertainment.
My parents saw Robin Williams get arrested as a mime before he was famous. This was in the 1960's.
mr doubtfire the prequel
He did mention doing mime in Central Park at his "Inside the Actor's Studio" interview. As he put it, he gave up being a mime because "A mime is a terrible thing to waste."
@@Stussmeister Well, this was in San Francisco. And that joke is way to lame to have come from Robin Williams.
@@erictaylor5462 If I'm not mistaken, I believe he spent quite a bit of time in San Francisco. I'll also have to watch the interview again, but if he did in fact say that, it was likely less of a joke and more of a passing comment to see if anyone would pick up on it.
@@Stussmeister He lived the last several years of his life in SF. I'm not sure, but I think he grew up in SF.
That story with tony hawk was freaking adorable
Paws Not Claws seeing his facebook page and stories, I’m not really surprised
yeah that was quite epic.
I've met Weird Al, he is the KINDEST guy. He was probably just legitimately uncomfortable in that moment.
I’ve meet him too!
Yes! He is super humble and low key
I met him at a comic convention and I told him the first song I ever heard of his was one from a PBS show called Square One. He seemed surprised and laughed and told me that he didn't write that song, but wrote the music, I think. It was wonderful and terrifying because I had to psych myself up for a week to even say that to him. I wasn't expecting a fun fact about the song.
i met him when i was 3 and maybe 4 or 5 got his autograph and was in the news paper for meeting him as i was only 3 and it was a cute picture. guh is absolute class act amazing human being my favorite celebrity
The nicest celebrity I ever met was that bigfoot who did the mattress commercial
Just Some Bigfoot With Internet Access ur everywhere
I saw that on p*rnh*b. what is seen cannot be unseen.
Just Some Bigfoot With Internet Access the glasses yeti is also pretty cool
You were really lucky.
When I met him, he dragged me into the woods and...
did things to me. 😳
Was it the same blond guy who was used as a cannonball to test those pur...lavender mattresses?
I met Ralph Macchio back in April of this year. Me being a big fan of The Outsiders, Karate Kid, and Cobra Kai, I was super stoked to meet him. I immediately burst into tears the second he locked eyes with me. I even gave him a picture and a note on the back explaining how much he inspired me into becoming an actress.
Ralph was super touched by it and proceeded to call me a rockstar, the best, and told me I was his favorite so far. Super touching to me. I could not stop bawling directly after meeting him. I managed to calm down later and saw him again for the photo op. I didn’t hear him say it, but my mom told me he said “There’s my girl.” The second he noticed me. What a sweetheart. I keep it with me everyday, can’t wait to see him again, hopefully soon.😊💕
6:17 “Shhh I know.”
God I can imagine that. So Robin Williams.
RIP to such a great man.
"What's all the commotion about out there?"
David Beckham: "Dunno, I guess somebody famous is staying here."
PMSL
"Hello, I think I found your dog." (describes your dog) "Would you like me to bring him to you, or do you want to come get him... Okay my address is, my name is Stone Cold Steve Austin" WTF?!
I used to hear rumors about Jhonen Vasquez being a jerk to his fans. Not that I believed them, but I kept them in mind and eventually learned that people said that because he's really just a huge introvert who doesn't really look forward to meeting people. His appearances have been limited due to this. I managed to meet him while bringing my little Yorkie with me to surprise him. She wore her GIR hoodie I hand-sewn too. He was so lit up when he saw her that he asked me nicely if he could hold her. He was smiling non stop, especially when she licked his face.
Aww, that's so sweet
@@zierragacha5089 Aaron Alexovich was with him too. He was just as lit up when he noticed.😊
Worked as a server at Chili's. James Hetfield and his kid sat in my section. Nicest guy ever.
HI WELCOME TO CHILI'S
I've heard nothing but good things about James
Lol wow
My friend is a radio DJ in the UK and he told me that Kelly Clarkson is the loveliest celeb he has ever had the pleasure to meet. She’s friendly and down to Earth and doesn’t throw diva tantrums or do the “do you know who I am?” thing that celebs sometimes do. He told me that she even met the radio team before and after they went on air and started chatting to them like she would to a good friend or a relative.
Met Jordan Sparks right after her american idol competition. She came to my job for food. And my friend asked me to sing for her. And she loved my voice. Now I peruse music. This was almost 10 years ago.
I was skiing and this woman told me that she was an amputee as well, but she was using two skis. She wanted to ask about skiing 3-track compared to skiing 2-track. I told her I was the perfect person to tell her, as I used to ski 2-track.
As we talked this guy with a strong English accent, much less posh than his wife (who was speaking perfect RP English) asked, "Are you chatting up my wife?"
I offered to talk on the chair lift so the wife and I skied to the bottom while the husband and his friend (the husband was not a good skier) fell behind.
As we got on the lift I asked the wife how she lost her leg and when she told me I realized the wife was Heather Mills, who was married to Paul McCartney at that time.
Both were fantastically nice.
Several years before this happened, I had met Arnold Schwarzenegger while skiing. Now that guy can really ski! Of course he is Austrian. I think it is required that all Austrians must be very good skiers. But Arnold was one of the nicest people I ever met.
@@chippersoul9294 Why? Footless Jo is not the only you tube channel I watch. You clearly watch others as well.
Robin Williams was the one and only celebrity I have met. He was on a trip to Universal studios Park in Orlando back maybe 2003/2004ish. We were in line for the live animal show and it was packed. The line was moved aside then security escorted him and his family inside. My wife and I were somewhat at the end of the line. So when we finally got in there were barely any seats. Next thing you know Robin Williams was waving his arm at us and pointing to 2 seats right in front of him and his family. We sat there I turned around and said thanks and he said no problem, didn't want you to miss the show. We had a little small talk for a bit before the show started. Absolutely a great down to earth guy and was very friendly and talkative, and of course extremely funny. Class act of a guy. Left us way too early.
I have a buddy who does security for visiting celebrities in Sydney for premieres and stuff. He was assigned to Kristen Stewart for one of the TWILIGHT premieres and he said that she is very nice, is extremely beautiful in person and her shyness is not an act. She really is that awkward.
Another person I know was a PA for a morning variety show back in the early '00's and said that Matt Damon was humble and super-cool to everybody.
I worked for a company that had Lee Majors as a customer. He had been to our location multiple times. Each time he was extremely nice. Always. Friendly. Conversational. Didn't mind giving autographs (I never asked for one). His twin boys were around the same age as my son at the time (toddlers) and he always remembered to ask about my son and we shared our parental stories of having toddler boys. So down to earth and genuine.
I lived in DFW area when I was a little kid and was extremely into acting, so my mom enrolled me in some summer kid’s classes when I was like 6. My teacher was this blonde woman who I remember being very nice. Her son was also an actor and she had all of his movie posters decorating the room. She had told us that her son was filming for a tv show, but she couldn’t tell us what it was yet, and that she was super excited to have him sit in on one of our classes when he got back.
Well that day came, and her son came into to watch a bunch of 6-10 year olds act. I had no idea who this person was, but I remember thinking he was pretty cute. I figured he was probably a teenager, which I thought was really cool for some reason.
He had us take turns reading from a script, and when I read my part he said “Cool, now I want you to think of something that makes o up I really angry when you read it” to which I responded with “My brother peed in my bath one time, that made me really mad,” and he said “Cool think about that I guess.”
Anyways my mom came to pick me up from classes and I tell her about the whole thing, and we don’t speak of it again.
Then six months later, I wasn’t my cousin’s house and we were watching the season premiere of Hannah Montana, and I started screaming uncontrollably when the character Jake Ryan came on the screen. My mom asked me what the fuck was going on, and all I could get out was “That’s the guy who taught my class, and I told him Christian peed in the bathtub!”
So yeah, Jake Ryan from Hannah Montana got to here about the time my brother peed on me while I was taking a bath for some reason
Met Julienne Moore as a baby at Disneyland
Apparently she thought I was the cutest thing in the world
Haha! Tell more!
Sam Jones: A nice guy. Was down to Earth and willing to have pictures taken with fans. Kathleen Kinmont : A woman who didn't want anyone near her unless they were part of the film crew. Imogene Coca: She was "in disguise" when I met her in a grocery store I shopped out. I commented that She looked like the comedienne, but she denied being the person I thought, despite having the voice, so I didn't press the issue. As we browsed in the aisle, she began telling me jokes, and then we both went separate ways. I learned later on the news that she had evidently 'escaped' her handlers in LA and was missing for several days, but had finally been found in Las Vegas and taken back. Rest well, Imogene. You brought us great laughter.
Other than those three, I was working at a truck stop in NE Wyoming in the mid '70s and the group, The Ink Spots stopped in to fuel up as they headed to a gig in Montana. All were very nice to all the employees and gave all who wanted them, autographs.
Met Bill Goldberg (the WWE wrestler) at a car show. I lost my shit as i used to watch him during my childhood, at first i thought he'd be an ass cuz he told everyone to not get close to his car, but i asked him for a picture and told him how i watched him as a kid, he chuckled and said you're still a kid, then he felt like that would be kinda rude so he was like ".. I mean compared to me" then we took that picture
Ace Of Spades he charged about 20 grand to appear at car shows. Good for him, but it seems a waste of money. Not going to get it back extra entries
@@silverstar4289 he was representing dodge or something, actually. Like promoting em. Had a mean dodge challenger demon
Met Scott from Imagination Movers when I was little. He let me sit on his lap. Super nice dude.
I heard a lot of bad stories about Bruce Willis, but I really like that Cab story. Most likely he’s just a guy that really likes to be left alone and not bothered by fans.
He's a dick. Now he is suffering and his money can't get him out of it. Karma is interesting eh?
Bruce Willis has been suffering for years from a serious progressive condition that involves aphasia (being able to think of words) and memory. It has probably affected his functioning for a decade now, certainly affected his ability to work since about 2015. So no wonder he likes to be left alone b6 strangers.
I cooked lunch for Rich Brian while he was on his European tour. SUPER nice guy, didn't chat for too long but when I told him I loved his work he simply responded "I love you too". He was also very complimentary about the food which is always nice to hear, especially from someone like him.
My Mum was also good friends with Richard Griffiths (uncle Vernon). She said he was really warm and friendly. I wish I'd have got to meet him!
I’ve met a celebrity before, numerous times over the last 5 years. In fact, I’ve been lucky enough to befriend him! Mike Love of The Beach Boys is probably the kindest person I know, and really cares about every fan he meets. He has been nothing but awesome to me over the now 5 years I’ve known him. He is an amazing and supportive friend, and honestly, I see him as like a grandfather to me!!
So here’s basically the whole story: I became a beach boys fan in June 2015 when I was 11. As soon as I heard the music for the first time, I was hooked instantly and a super fan within a few weeks. 3 months later on September 26, 2015, I went to my first beach boys concert. It changed my life. At the show I was in the balcony with my dad, since we got the tickets kinda last minute. Meeting the band never even crossed our minds, we were just there for the music. Around 7-8 songs into the show, an usher came up to us and asked if we wanted to get upgraded to better seats. We said yes and we were moved down to row 4 in the front. Throughout the whole show after that, Mike started interacting with me a lot. Idk why, somehow I just stood out to him more than anyone else there. After the show, his wife Jackie (who I’m also super close to now) walked up to me and said “hey, Mike wants to meet you”!! So I went backstage, we talked for a couple minutes, and immediately hit it off and clicked straight away. He didn’t have to do that, he could have just said hi and left. But he actually took time to talk to me! It was amazing! He’s never forgotten about me since and we’re still close friends to this day. I certainly have made some wonderful memories with them, and I’m only looking forward to making more! I’m so grateful and honored for our very special friendship, and I really hope I can see him again soon!!
Roddy Piper, John Schneider, Angus Scrim, Sid Haig, Danny Treijo, John Astin, Dick Miller, Patty Mullen, Dee Wallace, PJ Soles, David Reynolds, met them all and every one of them were as nice and polite as anyone could want.
Dick Miller of Bucket of Blood and Matinee. Cool
great to hear that
My mother ran into Larry king on a New York elevator. She said she enjoyed his work and he said “well thank you”, and he shook her hand. Nice of him to do.
I met Peter Capaldi once. He is genuinely nice.
I met Peter Cullen (the voice of Optimus Prime in much of the Transformers franchise). Very nice, chill funny guy.
When I was a little kid I used to watch NOVA all the time, especially the ones with David Pogue in them. I was a faculty kid at a high school at the time, and he came and gave a talk at it once, which my brother and I went to. Afterwards my family said my brother and I were NOVA fans, and he asked if we’d seen an episode that was all about cold and he had to do this stuff like march in place under a nozzle spraying cold water for a long time to see how a new invention to prevent army people from getting hypothermia worked, and that it was really cold. We agreed, and that was it. It’s the closest I’ve ever come to meeting a celebrity :P
Exact details are fuzzy, but my cousin once told me about a friend of hers who quickly became George Strait's favorite waitress at a diner he'd occasionally frequent. She was the only member of the staff that, despite being a fan and easily recognizing him, didn't make a huge deal that he was a celebrity.
Idk if authors count, but I have been to 4 Brandon Sanderson signings and he was genuinely delightful and kind every time. I am legally blind so I listen to his books via audible, but I also have a collection of signed first edition hardcovers even though I can't read them anymore (I first started reading his books with magnifying glasses 12 years ago, and I figure I'll pass them down to a future niece/nephew/friend's kids who deserve them someday), when he heard that, he signed a book plate for my laptop and gave me a Syl sticker for my ipod so that the devices I actually listen on are signed too.
Not even surprised by the Keanu thing, he’s a example of what a human should be.
Everyone: Shhhh

Martin Sheen rented the house next to ours because he was filming a movie there and we met him. He was a great guy and even invited us on to a set to be extras.
Rachel Ray was the nicest celeb. I met her many years ago at a cooking demonstration that was held for about 30 people, when she was about 32 years old and very thin and hot. She gave me the biggest hug and signed a cookbook for me, then treated us all to a dinner that she had made. I never thought that this cute little Italian girl would go on to be worth nearly 60 million dollars and become a household name.
Mike , I here she is a swinger I a open marriage, you missed a tap
Met The Professor at a basketball camp in Maui, man was super chill and was just like any other dude that liked basketball
I met Tom Felton on the bank of a river in Upstate NY once. It was kinda surreal to be honest.
Celebrity might be a stretch since she’s in comics, but I met Emma Beeby at Comic Con, who’s written Dr. Who and Judge Dredd. She also has this annual comic writing night class where you learn about how to be a comic writer. Helped me hone my then raw writing skills. I would recommend it if you live in Scotland and have easy traveling to Edinburgh every Monday night for 8-9 weeks and want to learn what you need to know
This is an old story, it happened to me when I was 19 years old, I used to work in a friend's restaurant, it was quite small and the most common thing that people consumed was coffee and tea, it was around 2 pm when this strange man appeared, He wore a dirty shirt and had a huge beard, we usually give free drinks to homeless people. He asked me for a salty cookie and a coffee, the man had an expression of sadness and seriousness, I am a waiter, not a psychiatrist, I didn't ask anything, he was alone and he stayed and without asking for anything else, when he asked for the bill, my first thought was " I'm sure he asked for charity or something" I explained about our policy and he just nodded, showing a slight smile and left. Four days passed when at school there was a rumor that a famous comic writer was in town and when I saw the photo I was surprised, Alan Moore had gone to the restaurant and I did not recognize him, I had heard his name before but I never knew as it looked. Alan moore if you are reading this I am very sorry for reject your € 20 tip.
The cast of Supernatural are lovely in person especially Jared and Jensen
The Animaniacs(Rob Paulsen, Tessa MacNeill and Jess Harnell) were all SUPER sweet especially Rob. The funniest was Dana Snyder, the voice of Shake from ATHF. He's hilarious.
I met Bruce Willis on the side of a highway after His car ran out of gas so I pulled up Behind him and that’s when he got out didn’t know who he was until he got out of his car turn to me and I’m like holy shit it’s Bruce Willis LOL told me that he ran out of gas if I could give him a lift to the gas station and I said yes he got in the car and I drove him to the nearest gas station all the way there we start talking about all about his movies tell him that I was a big fan once we got gas in a jerrycan went back to his car filled up his car and I asked for a selfie with him and he said of course my man made my day and the most memorable day of my life
I have met a few celebs, and they were all very nice. The responses from some of the celebrities mentioned in here are worth far more than any autograph.
I met Alan Gratz a few months ago before quarantine. For those who don't know, he's an author who wrote the books "Code of Honor", "Grenade", "Refugee" and many more books. Super nice guy, as I stood in line for about 30-45 min to get my book signed. He signed my book and we chatted for a min or two, as I didn't want to hold the line up. He also took a picture with me. Really nice guy.
I was watching a RUclips video of Tony Hawk where he was giving a tour of his complex and he showed off his Nickelodeon kids award and explained how much it meant to him and that’s when I fell in love with Tony Hawk!
Not me, but this happened to my sister. She was at a Shawn Mendes concert and all of the fans were swarming toward Shawn. While security tried to hold the fans back, Shawn walked up to my sister and said hi. They proceed to talk for a few minutes and soon Shawn has to go. They take a picture together, and Shawn leaves. My sister came home acting more happy than usual, and she told us what happened. I’m a big Shawn Mendes fan and I was really jealous
Do you guys remember that story that Julien Solomita (youtuber Jenna Marbles husband) told where he was like 11 and jumped through the open window of a car to meet Matt Damon? He said Matt Damon wasn't even mad he was more concerned for his safety.
I met TomSka (creator of asdfmovie) at MCM Comic Con London back in May. He was about to head to a Q&A, but he was nice enough to make some time to meet me. Really nice guy. We had a selfie together, and I think I put the word ‘amazeballs’ into his vocab. He even signed a programme for me saying, “Stay amazeballs”. Would love to meet him again.
There are a few that Ive met that have been really nice. Amanda Wyss (she played Tina in A Nightmare on Elm Street) was super duper nice. Just an absolute delight. Amanda Bearse (Marcy from Married With Children) was also super nice and very warm). Ira something, who played "The Wizard Master" in Nightmare on Elm Street 3 was also really nice and friendly.
My friends and I met Daniel Logan twice, at two different conventions. Not only was he super nice, but he seemed to remember us too!
8 years ago I met Oleysa Rulin from High School Musical when she came to my high school and 3 years ago I met Ashley Eckstein from the Star Wars animated shows at Disneyland. Both of those ladies were sweethearts!
Not me but my father, he was the apprentice of Mike Burnett, he was a UFC veteran and a great coach, he was shot on February 26, 2016 along with his son Freddie burnett but luckily they survived.
Ohohoh Ive got one. This was years ago, my family was part of a charity event in a small town where we live. When we got there to help set up, Dee Snider was there, DEE FREAKINH SNIDER! The leader of Twisted Sister. I had found them recently and was obsessed with their music. I walked up to him and introduced myself and got to shake his hand. We talked for a good ten minutes about just random stuff. I got a picture with him that my fat head brother never sent to me. Man I wanted to put that in my yearbook so much just to prove ti everyone I met him. It was a magical experience that I will not soon forget.
One of my dad's good friends once met Joey Lagano (2015 Daytona 500 winner, 2018 NASCAR Cup Series Champion, and the youngest driver to ever win in the NASCAR Cup Series) on a plane once. I also have a friend who's had NFL Quarterback Josh Allen come through his Chick-Fli-A drive-thru
I met John Barrowman, his sister Carole, and Dan Fogler at a convention last year. John gave hugs to literally everyone and Carole gave me personal writing advice. As for Dan, I had just bought a Snape wand that I was carrying and he took it from me to examine it cuz he thought it was cool. He’s a bit more shy than you’d expect but still very sweet
I work as a movie theater usher in a small Canadian town where Dave Couliers family lives. I once saw him speed walk in with a hat and sunglasses, order popcorn, and quickly leave. This towns very nosey so I'm sure he gets bothered often when hes just trying to have vacation. Later told my co worker that he sold popcorn to Dave Coulier and he was like "Holy shit that WAS him"
I was at a concert for christian artist Derek Minor (before he was really popular), he ran down the isle of the seats and noticed me doing the hype dance from fortnite (i was like 12 okay) and he decided to do it with me. afterwards he signed my shoes and said he would remember that moment from then on because since he wasnt the most popular artist, so having such young people look up to him meant the world. now he is striving with tons of fans and albums and such, that was three years ago.
I worked at a restaurant in Beverly Hills that was frequented by many celebrities. I served Larry David(who I am an enormous fan of) many times and he was very polite, very simple and just overall cool guy. He acted nothing like his Curb character. Kirk Douglas was a customer of mine countless times, and despite things I’ve heard about him, he was one I’ve always enjoyed to have. He was generous, very kind, and always positive. I haven’t lived in Los Angeles for over a decade and Mr Douglas is the only one I randomly think about and hope he is well.
Nicest celeb I met was deff Adam Grontier (Former lead singer of Three Days Grace) when the band opened for Nickelback in my city. I had a "Life Starts Now" CD I really wanted him to sign for me. He noticed I had a guitar case on my back and asked if I liked music, when I told him music was my biggest passion he decided to ask me to sign my guitar instead saying "It was an honor to have a fan with such a love for his art". Will never forget that, the man is a saint.
To hear Adam would do that actually is pretty damn cool.
Keanu Reeves
Not surprised at all. 😊
I used to live in Ponca City Oklahoma just after the movie Twister came out. Several people I knew told me about some of it being filmed around there. While filming Helen Hunt needed to see a Doctor ( I think about allergies, could be wrong). She made a huge sceen in the waiting room telling them she is a star and shouldn't have to wait like other people. Every single person I met who met her said she was the worst person ever. Bill Paxton however everyone loved. I guess he bought drinks for everyone at a local nightclub. RIP SIR.
John Wesley Shipp; not just one of the nicest celebrities, but genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Met him at a convention right before shutdowns last year, and you could tell how much he cared about what he does and the people he interacts with. Also got to video chat with him on my birthday last year, and asked him to sing me happy birthday; dude didn’t even hesitate
Garth brooks.met him before his fame at small venue,100 people max.knew i was watching the next big country star before fame.came to our table to chat,he asked me for any advice...i told him to stay humble,he was gonna be a superstar.took a rainer beer coaster and wrote,thank u and God bless,Garth brooks.both my kids used it for show/tell.25 yrs later my kid worked radio and interviewed him and Tricia.instead they had found out she had lost kid to cancer and for 15 minutes they comforted her,gave her encouragement,love,hope.what a special man he is,same goes for Tricia
My sister met the Olsen twins once, back in '01.
She said they were an absolute joy to be around, but you could see it in their eyes they were jaded tired.
I feel so fucking bad for those two. They sacrificed their childhoods to make so many others.
Hollywood is fucked up, man.
4:06 Holy... that is doubly awesome. Surprise Run-in with a Celeb AND a Real Life Hero moment at the same time! I bet that person became a big Austin 3:16 fan because of that!
Both Mel Gibson and Ed Ames were extremely kind and happy to talk and sign autographs. I discussed the historical accuracy of their respective sets of performances and both were kind enough to know it was coming from a place of constructive criticism. Dad has his Ed Ames autograph still, I've also got my Mel Gibson one.
Everyone: skatepark
TTS Brian: ska-te-park
I was rebuilding a piano in Madrid, New Mexico. I had been under the piano all day, and was dirty and covered in sawdust. They were shooting Wild Hogs in the middle of town and I had never seen a film-shoot, so I decided to take a look. However, it was so hot that I decided to get an ice-cream first. I was really tired and trudged up the stairs of this soda shop, and entered. Right in front of me was John Travolta, who, first of all, was huge I immediately twigged to the fact that this was a set, and not a real store (I didn't know the town because I'm from Santa Fe). From my double-take, Travolta knew I didn't belong, but he didn't blow my cover. I went to a stool and sat down, being careful not to make eye contact with anyone. The major actors were in there, as well as the director and a lot of equipment. Tim Allen came and sat down next to me. Travolta wanted to play with him, like an overgrown puppy, but TIm Allen would have none of it. He was talking taxes with a woman I didn't recognize. Actually, no one was talking about the picture. At a certain point, they all went outside, and I followed, taking my place among the townspeople by the side of the road. The director came up, grabbed me by the shoulders and said, "You, stand here!" I said, "I'm not an extra; I'm a townie," which was more or less true. He said, "Well, get off the fucking set!" I left. Friends told me I shouldn't have identified myself, but I knew that if I screwed up a scene, it would have cost them a ton of money.
Shaq is a regular at a cigar shop I used back when I smoked and he was nice to other people there.
Shaq likes deer hunting and I had him admiring an especially nice deer I had in the truck one time that I was stopping by after a hunt.
I met a lot of actors from Band of Brothers last year and they were beyond kind to me. I'd known a lot of them via Facebook friendship for quite a few years, so it was wonderful to finally meet them in person. They went out of their way to include me in conversations and treated me like a real friend.
I also got to meet Gary Lightbody and Nathan Connolly from Snow Patrol in 2018 and they were extremely kind. Gary immediately gave me a hug and patiently listened to me ramble on about how much their music means to me. He even wrote out my favorite lyric on a piece of paper so I could get it tattooed on my arm. Their bassist Paul was also extremely kind even though I didn’t get to meet him. I had commented on one of his Instagram posts a couple days before a gig I went to last year, mentioning I wanted to meet him and was going to be in the front row wearing a certain hat. At the start of the gig, he recognized me right away and grinned. He proceeded to make eye contact with me as much as he could, and every time I did, he’d smile at me, which made my heart skip beats. I threw him a pack of glow in the dark guitar picks at the end of the gig, and his face lit up. After the gig, one of their crew members found me and gave me an autographed CD and a pair of their drummer’s sticks, telling me Paul wanted me to have them. It made my whole damn year.
I kinda sorta met Andy Mineo once. You know the songs "Coming In Hot" (it's popular on TikTok) and "You Can't Stop Me" (it was the top MLB walk-up song in 2015)? Yeah, that's him. I've been a fan of him for a while now and was at one of his concerts and I was in the front row of the moshpit and was rapping one of his songs when he was standing in front of me and took notice of me and was impressed and when the chorus came in he came back over to me and said "Imma about to bring you up on stage in a second if you keep waylin. My man got EVERY LYRIC DOWN!" He then proceeded to give me a high five and asked to borrow my phone, luckily I was recording, and took it and showed me on camera and said, "Y'all make some noise for this one right here he knows every single lyric" then he turned the phone towards him and said, "This man knows" and tossed it back and continued the show. That was one of the coolest moments of my life since I look up to him. Videos of the interaction are on my channel
Met Leon Russell in a hardware store of all places in Prairie Village Kansas, he was appearing at Municipal Auditorium the next night, he was extremely polite. RIP
So many have been super nice. Scott Patterson, David Arquette, Austin St. John, Cody Rhodes, Marty Scurll, and Edge, to name a few.
1:08 imagine if this happened nowadays. Cops would be called etc etc
10:42 Bonus points to you for not cracking any jokes/references to "The Fifth Element".
I was getting gas (not self-service) at a gas station in Albany New York. Behind me, in an old station wagon was Bill Murray and his wife. He was wearing this sleazy silvery suit. I turned to get a better look and it was definitely him. He gave me this sour look, like "Yes, it's me. Leave me alone." So I did.
Met Weird Al a couple of years back when he did a tour. He’s a really sweet guy and isn’t what the media says about him. I honestly think people would love him if they met him.
It's impossible for me to picture Weird Al being a dick
Met jeremy wade (does fishing shows) very nice guy incredibly nice to all the fans. Signed the books everyone brought, shook hands with people had pictures.
Cat Craft “fishing shows” suuure it is.. when you do fishing broadcasted near portals to Hell lol
I met Bryan Cranston at a cubs game was In the second grade but he was really nice
My older cousin went to school with
Katy Perry.
She was not nice.
My mom met Mark Hamill twice.
The first time she was young, she
Told him she loved him, and he
Got sad that all the young girls
Seemed to like him, but the older
Women liked Han Solo.
4:08 Good to hear that Steve Austin gave to dog toys and not the middle finger and a Stunner.
8:02 ...shoulda put a ring on it.
Dean Cain was SUPER nice!!!! Met him At a Philly Comic Con in 2019 (before the pandemic)!!!! Also met Michael Rosenbaum (he was a lot of fun), Tom Welling, and Kristin Kreuk (GORGEOUS) were all nice...met them at Philly Comic Con in 2023 (this past year)!!!!
>celeb gave a 15 year old a $100 tip
Celebs tend to be cool with kids. That's cool and sweet.
I know that the chances of you having heard of this guy are slim but I have met Patrick Murray. He played Mickey Pearce on this British sitcom called Only Fools and Horses. Both of the times that I met him he was an extremely kind guy who seemed to genuinely care about his fans
Clint Eastwood was nice when I was an extra in one of his movies. Mick Fleetwood I met and is a good man. So is Owen Wilson, Steven Tyler is very cool with people. Adam Sandler during the filming of 50 first dates used to drive a Golf Cart off the set into town and play basketball with the local kids by himself, no security or entourage. I was at the park and spoke to him briefly after a ball game. Nicest guy. I live an area where a lot of Celebrities visit, live and make movies. I spoke to Eddie George and he was very cool. I met my share of jerks but that’s not what this thread is about.
Skat-eh-park
I've met MC Hammer and James Hetfield. Meeting James was brief, but very he was very friendly. Talked with MC Hammer for about an hour when I was doing work at his house. Very cool, down to earth.
Really want to meet Dave Grohl.
17:57 Bonus points if he was driving ECTO-1
Met Bill Moseley, Cindy Williams, and other cast members of TCM 2 , they were all sweethearts.
TCM 2? What's that?
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
That Bruce Willis story has touching, great guy
Joely Fisher, sister of Carrie is very sweet, nice, professional. Did work on a film, 1990s in Pittsburgh PA. She went around speaking and laughing with crew, actors, crowds. More celebs should act that way on location.
I hear that Bill Bixby was a very nice guy.
James marsters was the nicest celebrity I met
I once met jerzy dudek (professional soccer player) in a pub in Kraków. He found out it was my sisters birthday and he bought us all a round of shots.
@8:48- _How_ did the _incredible and down-to-Earth_ Will Smith raise someone like _that?_
“Nah, it’s cool tho.”
Someone adds true story at the end is telling lies. May as well started once upon a time
