"My sibling has a terminal illness in the 80s and Make A Wish sent our family to the set of Knight Rider to meet David Hasselhoff. Was cool, but that’s not what matters.

Fast forward 30 years and I’m at Heathrow picking up a family member when I see the Hoff standing there on his phone. I approach him and wait for him to end his call. He looks at me and says hello. I tell him that we met. He looks at me and say, “Was their name …?” He remembered their name after 30 years.

That will always stay with me."

 

"I used to serve Rachel McAdams at a restaurant fairly regularly. She was always super sweet. Very lowkey and soft spoken in person. She and her husband would come in late and keep to themselves."

 

"I was an extra on The Last of Us and met Pedro Pascal. He was super nice. We technically weren’t allowed to talk to the “talent” and they’d usually ignore us but he and Gabriel Luna talked to us anyway."

 

"Ian McKellen came to the spa I worked at and was absolutely lovely. We didn’t sell ice cream but there was a farm shop across the road and I mentioned it and he asked me if I’d take him there.

My friend who worked in the farm shop had his mouth open the whole time seeing me buying ice cream with Gandalf."

"I have worked with Steve Martin and Martin Short, they’re both super nice, respectful, and incredibly dedicated to their craft. They’ll spend hours finessing a couple lines in a show they do every night just to get it right for that evening’s performance."

 

"Giancarlo Esposito was incredibly warm and also told me I should try and get into voice acting. I have never and will never attempt to do so but it was such a nice compliment for no reason."

 

"I proposed to my wife at a restaurant in Kauai. Afterwards, Michael Keaton leaned over from his table with his family and enthusiastically congratulated us. Very kind and friendly."

 

"Penn and Teller hang out in the lobby after their show in Vegas to chat and sign autographs. Very friendly and yes Teller can talk."

"I met Weird Al at a con once. While he was signing the photo I bought, I told him about how he inspired me to write my own parody songs. He seemed genuinely interested and asked if I had a YouTube channel, but I told him I just write them, not record them. Super nice dude (at least for the brief time we spoke)."

 

"Jeff Goldblum, after a matinee of “The Pillowman.” Autographs, photos, asking people where they were from, what else they had seen/were going to see. One girl mentioned they were in the city for her birthday as she was taking a photo of him with her friends, he stopped and said “How can you not be in your own birthday picture,” took her camera and grabbed someone from the crowd to take a picture of the group. Would not leave until he was sure everyone got what they wanted (despite his assistant or handler trying to move him along for dinner before the evening performance)"

 

"Bryan Cranston- he was filming an episode of Malcom in the middle in a Sherman oaks shopping mall. I happened to be there with my kids and we had just bought some see’s candies. We were walking and he approached us and said “ oh you bought me candy? “ we laughed gave him a piece and he autographed the candy bag. He spent a few minutes with us and was very down to earth, and funny."

 

"Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively live relatively close to my hometown and show up to this Christmas event every now and again that our town puts on. Walked out of the ice cream parlor downtown and sitting on the bench right outside is Ryan Reynolds eating an ice cream cone. I looked up at him as I was walking out and made eye contact, and I looked away, then I looked back to make sure it was him, and he looks me dead in the face and goes “I know right, isn’t it crazy?” And then he gets up and walks away. 10/10"

"Back in 2004ish John Cena and Batista gave me a spot at the gym at like 5am. Super nice guys. Saw me on the bench press working alone and just walked over unprovoked to spot me. We talked for a little bit and finished our workouts together. Gave me a couple pointers. I’ve always rooted for them to succeed since then."

 

"Patrick Stewart made me feel like he really listened and cared about every word I said to him in the 2 minutes we shook hands and chatted. Proper gent!"

 

"Loretta Lynn. Long story short, she showed up late for a show where the dressing rooms were first come, first serve. She didn’t get one and had to get ready in the big bathroom backstage. I was 13. She asked if I had a second to help her a bit. I stayed with her all night. She told stories. We laughed so much. It was like hanging out with your grandmother. I am from Nashville and she was, of course, a legend. Just one of the kindest women I have the pleasure of meeting."

 

"I live fairly close to Jon Bernthal. I ran into him while hiking up in the mountains way out in the middle of nowhere. He was very nice and friendly, but I didn’t make a deal of talking to him or taking pictures with him since he had his kids with him and I was up there to avoid people, so I’m sure he was as well."

"Met Adam Sandler in Hawaii. Super nice guy."

 

"Met Keanu Reeves when I was 10 years old when his band Dogstar were touring in the UK. My mum knew the guy who ran the venue and he managed to sneak a friend and me backstage. He came out of the toilet, saw us, came straight over and said hello, offered us a soft drink and was throughly nice. It was pre matrix (‘96 I think) so his tour bus was scrawled with people graffitiing “there’s a bomb on this bus” all over it. Classic."

 

"Usher tipped me in “Usher Bucks.” These have “non-legal tender” stamped all over the bills."

 

"I randomly met mike meyers on the street when I was about 10. Austin Powers had just came out and he was arguably at the height of his popularity.

He seemed genuinely happy that some random kid recognized him and was a fan. Was totally down to chat for a minute and sign an autograph. Very cool dude."

#19 Usher tipped in Usher bucks, because he’s a cheap, very rich, POS. Years ago I worked at a restaurant in Atlanta that he used to frequent. The most servers got out of him was 5%. Looks like he found a new way to be cheap.
