Flew out of O’Hare on Air Jamaica for MoBay. Checking in, notice the guy next to us with his daughters and give him the head nod. Now me and the Mrs. aren’t the 1st class Destroya type we’re just your run of the mill OT riff-raff, but if you’ve ever flown Air Jamaica you can grab a hell of an upgrade at the counter if 1st class isn’t booked full. So I spend the next 2 hours BSing and drinking champagne with Andrew Gulotta(Mr. Low Blow), super nice guy. Ironically enough, a couple nights later I ended up having a few drinks and chatting up Lennox Lewis at an awesome hideaway in Negril.

Sat across from Tara Reid on a flight. Asked a guy if that was bunny Lebowski. Turned out they were on the flight together and told her. She laughed and gave me a thumbs up. CSB

Not a celebrity but the previous mayor was on our flight about last year - I wanted to punch him in the throat

While not a flight my family and I shared an elevator with Teddy Bridgewater+woman in the Times Square Hilton about 5 years ago. My kids are big football fans and he looked over to me with a look of acknowledgement over not making it a thing. We checked in right after him and we ended up getting a room far better than what we paid for. I've been a fan of his ever since. There are a ton of guys in the league just like him but it's the few dozen idiots who always overshadow them.

Borded a flight in LA behind John Travolta and Kelly Preston heading to Brisbane Australia. He was shorter than he looks on TV and she was just as HOT. 
Never recognized anyone else on other flights.

Bought Nolan Richardson drinks on Southwest flight. It was back when Southwest mailed free ticket coupons with a book of drink tickets.

Only time I’ve ever recognized a celebrity on a flight was once on flight back from Tucson, AZ. Sitting right across the isle from me was Kirk Herbstreet. I can’t remember the exact year but it had to be sometime around 2007-2009 if I remember correctly.

Best celebrity I sat next to was Ben Crenshaw. Super nice guy. I still laugh when he asked me, "Do you play golf"? I told him, "You play golf, all I do is a chase a white ball around."

I sat beside Bart Starr on a flight from Memphis to BHM. I wouldn’t have known him except for all the fricking bammers bothering him the entire 30 minutes of the flight.

Ran into Big Show at the airport out where England AFB used to be. He wasn’t hard to recognize! Lol

Saw Marc Morial on a flight when he was mayor.
He flew coach. I guess he got bullied.

Willie Roaf (New Orleans Saints legendary Offensive Tackle for non-sports fans) boarded a SW flight (only coach seats) that I was already seated on. This was years ago before he got the big contracts after making All-Pro. He had two of his kids with him that were little at the time.
I didn't see him sitting since I was in front and he went toward back, but I assume he took all of a row with his kids so that he could fit. Very big dude.

I never notice.
But I swear my girlfriend is a celebrity whisperer.
Anytime she decides to go shopping, friggin Billy Bob Thorton or Rihanna.
When we decide to go out , the lead singer from Florence and the machine, Rosario Dawson, Trent Reznor, Lenny Kravitz, the dork from Dodgeball.
Meanwhile.. I got a baseball signed by John Goodman.

Went to Universal Hollywood a few years back or so. Stayed at Hilton Universal. Last day there ate the huge buffet for breakfast and was sitting in a table next to the cast of “White Collar,” all there except for Kelly kapowski.
On the plane ride back to NOLA, was in first class and sat across the aisle from the quantum leap guy, Scott Bakula. He was studying a script the whole flight. Didn’t realize he was on CSI New Orleans or whatever. Looked like he didn’t want anyone to talk to him. Just looked down the whole time and only looked up to repeat the lines he was supposed to learn by memory. Guess he waited til the last minute to study.
Bought Stiffler a beer at hooters on College Drive once. He was actually a cool guy to talk to. Just talked about his time in louisiana while filming the dukes of hazzard.
The celebs I’ve met are pretty cool if you don’t bother them about past roles. Cuba Gooding was pretty cool also one night when I met him at Ivars.

I had a flight with chance the rapper. Didn't know why tf the flight attendants were letting this guy talk before we got off the plane and had to get the lady next to me to explain who he was.
There aren't many I would recognize. Shaq would be the only one I couldn't miss.

Saw Elle Fanning in the United club in Houston in 2020. She was one row up and across from me from Houston to BR. That is one of the whitest white girls I have ever seen but she is really pretty.
