People Going Nuts When They See Someone Famous

Man you should have seen some of the no-name OT losers that would light up when they came to my bar and SuperSaint would do a shot with them.


How about when OH58 hid behind that sign on the LSU campus and filmed you rolling around. He was like a little school girl.

I saw Dixie Carter in a restaurant once and I played it cool.

Have a relative that whenever I tell him I saw Carl Malone, or one of the Duck Commanders always excitedly asks me if I got their autographs.......

I say, of course not. This really flabbergasts him..

If I was really famous I would probably have a reputation for being an a-hole or stuck up. I'm not, but I am private and would probably react as pretty withdrawn if a bunch of people came up to me all the time. People have a lot of unreasonable expectations of "celebrities."

Sat next to Vanilla Ice on a few years ago. Guy was actually really cool. He was at a window seat trying to just keep to himself. Three different people approached him in flight while he had earphones in and sunglasses asking for a selfie. Felt bad for the guy. I was in the aisle seat and had to keep moving. I even apologized to him at one point and he chuckled and replied, "I'm shocked people even know who I am anymore."

One does it then group think kicks in

I saw Ryan Gosling at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

When They See Someone Famous

The whole autograph thing, to me, is laughable. I met my share of "famous" people and I would find it embarrassing to ask for an autograph. I just don't get it.

Closest I've gotten to bothering someone for a photo was while playing Top Golf. Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Breckin Meyer were next playing in the adjacent lane.

My little sister would have shite if I had taken a photo with Zack Morris but I decided not to bother him. In fact, I don't think I saw anyone bother them the whole time. Was kind of surprised.
