Saw on FB. UNFILTERED with Kiran ran in Chef John Folse and took a picture.... looking at both of them I don't think I'd recognize either at the airport.


Hell I probably wouldn't recognize many celebrities unless they were traveling with a crew or special permissions when boarding.

I saw Sean Payton once at baggage claim. Not sure he qualifies as a celebrity, but I definitely recognized him.

I sat next to TJ Miller once on a Southwest flight to NOLA from Orlando, across the aisle once from Lee Corso from Orlando to Milwaukee (LSU vs Wisconsin) and once right behind Angela Bassett and her family. The only one I didnt recognize was Angela Bassett.

Depends on who it is. I don't know that many that I would recognize.

I would recognize a celebrity on my flight if I were able to recognize that celebrity in a grocery store (and vice versa). Of course, this is all assuming I would recognize that celebrity on television.

I recognized Raphael Warnock on my flight a few weeks ago. He’s no celebrity though.

Wife was sitting next to women at the airport in Baltimore talking about politics and their vacation cruise each were going on with their husbands. The ladies husband sat down we all talk for about 45 to 1hr.. When their fight was called for boring is when we found out it was Cal Ripken Jr. Looks different with no hat on.

I was on a couple flights out of Austin with The Undertaker several years ago when I lived there. I assume he lived there. I definitely recognized him

John Goodman was at the front of a flight I took a million years ago to LAX out of New Orleans. He was easily recognizable.

I boarded a flight in Reno, NV one Monday morning and was shocked to see first class filled with celebrities. It took me a minute to realize that this was after the weekend they hold that celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe each year.

A few years ago I was on a flight to Atlanta from New Orleans. I was sitting in the aisle seat and struck up a conversation with the woman sitting in the middle seat about 10 minutes before landing. She told me she was traveling to Atlanta for a cooking competition. When I asked if she was a chef or in the restaurant industry she said she worked for Chef John Flose...who was sitting next to us in the window seat. So I agree with you that I would not recognize Chef John Folse at the airport...given that I did not recognize him for nearly the entirety of an 1.5 hour stay on a plane where he was sitting two seats over from me.

I did, however, recognize Bill Dance on a flight to Memphis once because his goofy Tennessee ball cap was hard to miss. I'm also pretty sure his clumsy arse hit his head on the overhead bin.

I’d recognize John Folse. I have met him a few times.

I rarely run into celebrities flying Spirit

I saw Bryan Adams on an America West flight from PHX to LAX in June 1994.

He was easy to spot.

Sat next to Samuel L Jackson on a flight from Italy once. Asked him if he wanted me to call him Mr Laurence Fishburne to keep up the cliché of him always being confused for someone else. He laughed which I guess was a good thing.
