Have you met any celebs?

Met Robin Williams when he was filming Moscow On The Hudson in my hometown. I was 5, making a ruckus that interrupted filming and after the production crew nabbed me, I was introduced. He was really warm.

I saw Jean Claude Van Damme sitting on the steps behind the Hilton during Spring Break, drunk as shit and bawling his eyes out.

Vanilla Ice performed in front of the Treasure Island hotel across from my house. Shoe flew off as he was dancing, kept going. That's professionalism.

Saw P Diddy in a short white limo in traffic, screamed at him til he glanced over then yelled F U! I didn't like his Dust in The Wind remake at the time.

Met Tom Cruise when he was filming Days of Thunder. My friends dad drove his limo. Nice guy, short, crazy energy in person too.

I work in TV, so I have met and meet celebs all the time. Harry Connick, Jr. shoots his talk show one floor up from where I work and I see him, his band, and do work on his show. In the past, I have met Al Pacino, John Goodman, Kevin Spacey, Robert Plant, Roger Daltrey, etc. Walked past Laurence Fishburne, Lindsay Lohan, Chris Rock, and Adam Sandler in the hall, Beyonce with her entourage, took a pass on Snookie. I have met more musicians than anyone else, though, most of whom are session players who are not household names, but their work means everything to me.

@uncalled4 Kick ass. Pacino is very intense, I might be intimidated

@DanielChristensen Kevin Spacey introduced me to him(long story). I still get very very starstruck, but I have found the worst thing you can do is fawn over an idol of yours. In my experience, just talking to them as regular people is best. If you want to drop that you know all the words to some obscure thing they wrote or starred in, that helps, but generally, I have found 95% of them to be down-to-earth. I saw Jamie Lee Curtis chatting up a whole bunch of people waiting in line to be in a talk show audience, and she was asking them all kinds of questions about their likes and dislikes, etc. Seems like a very real person.
Oh, Spacey... 😦@uncalled4
