I have met a lot of celebrities at local comic cons, Jeff Goldblum, the guys who worked on super troopers, Rick Moranis, The entire cast of the craft, including Neve, met a stuntman for the Scream movies, I’ve talked to Arnold S., billy Dee Williams, Peter Mayhew(RIP), I saw David Prowse at a distance but he was having problems and they had to wheel him out. Billy Zane, a lot of power rangers from the OG to some newer ones. I did manage to get Michael Madsen and Ian Mcdarmid to sign me some stuff before.
I fly in to LAX frequently and you always catch them in the wild just chilling. Picking up my bags at terminal 3, I ran into ice cube with his posse. Recently I saw Jason Momoa walking out of the Delta Lounge with his girlfriend Eiza. I got a quick conversation right before his bodyguards told me to back off lol.
The most recent one was last month, I was doing the WB studio tour in Hollywood and while talking to the tour guide, they asked us what movies we are interested for the tour, and my daughter said Barbie. The tour guide mentioned that Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling were doing a private screening for award audiences right now, like the golden globes and Oscar’s inside the WB theater. We just saw them outside after the screening was done, but we couldn’t take pictures lol, my daughter was extremely happy though. The funny thing is that my guard is down when I’m in public, so it takes a while for me to register who I saw, but I saw Justin Theroux doing the VIP tour with a couple of his friends at Disney california adventure, they used the fast pass lane and were up front by like three people when they cut the line.
The longest conversation I’ve had with a celebrity unfiltered, was Anthony Michael Hall at a local movie theater promoting a screening for some of his older movies. I didn’t know he was Godfather to RDJ’s son Indio and gets to hang out with them frequently in the Hamptons but he said he was happy for him and was talking about the millions he raked in from the MCU. He told me some stories about how they became good friends after Weird Science, I could go on, but we talked about Sixteen Candles, Lampoon, all the way to the dead zone and the dark knight. Part of the screening ended up being a Skype conversation with AMH and RDJ about their careers and a fantastic Q&A session afterwards.
I wish I could meet mark hamill but his con prices are insane and with good reason. RDJ needs to go on a book Tour so he can sign my copy of Cool Foods (getting it delivered tomorrow 1/23) and I would totally sneak in an iron man figure.
I haven’t met a celebrity who’s been rude to me, yet, aside from body guards, but they just do their jobs and I back off.
