"I used to work in the music and film industry (as a grunt, when I was in my early 20s), so I've met a lot of celebrities.

George Clooney was the nicest one - SO down to earth, and would play practical jokes on the entire crew very regularly. He had these t-shirts made for every crew member to wear with the director's picture on the cover of People's "sexiest man alive", lol. (This was not an attractive director - it was kind of a joke between them I guess.) He had his car drive people home if buses weren't on schedule or whatever. He'd eat lunch with the crew rather than in his trailer.

I had the pleasure of working a show on a David Bowie tour he did in theatres. Every member of his band made a point to thank the crew members. IDK if Bowie himself did it but I wouldn't be surprised.

Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders) was also awesome and talked to everyone, didn't act like she was even a celebrity in the least."

"Tom Hiddleston. He was doing the press junket for Kong Island at the BBC and I was walking past on the way to work. I like his stuff so went over, got my phone out and said hello. We had a nice chat. Lovely guy. Bastard is better looking in real life than on screen."

"Daniel Radcliffe was genuinely nice. He actually asked us if we wanted a picture with him. Probably because he saw how star struck we were considering the odds of running into such a world renowned movie star in our city."

"I went to an Adio Shoes skate event at a mall in Oklahoma City. The Adio team skaters were all there signing merch and posters. Of all the skaters who were there, Bam Margera was the one I was most excited to meet. In my head I kept thinking, "This guy is going to slap me or say something mean, but it will be funny, that's just who he is." I get up to his table, kinda stutter a bit, and all I could say was, "I only skate Element boards and I love you." Damnit I felt so stupid. 14 years old and I just embarrassed myself.

He replied, "I only skate Element too man, and I love you too." He looks at my feet and I'm wearing the purple Bam Adio Shoes. "Your shoes are f@#ked though, you skate a lot?" I said, "Yeah every single day, unless it's raining."

If that guy didn't just melt my heart right there.. He comes back with another pair of purple Bam Adio Shoes (too big for me at the time but that was fine) and signed the box. Then he brought me some rubber "Softrucks" so I could attach them to my board and skate indoors when it was raining. Then he grabbed a fresh Bam purple and white Element board, signed it, and handed it over. He told me, "Listen here f@#ker, you skate everyday. Don't let anything hold you back. I hope one day I see you on TV too. Maybe we could skate together some time."

That was over 15 years ago. I still hope to one day be able to skate with him, even if for only a few minutes.

Bam, I'm still waiting on you. I'm still skating :)"
