re: What celebrities have you met? Were they nice or a jerk?

Thomas Morestead - One of the nicest guys, had a beer with us at Lucy's.

Dave Wandestedt - met him before the LSU Iowa Saban debacle in Orlando. Cool guy too and this was even before WVU vs Pitt.

Robyn Roberts - She was eating at the same place as us in Pass Christian about 3 years ago. Joked about my LSU hat but I said UNO and Tulane are cool too and then says okay we can be friends lol. Nice woman like Sally Ann is.

Dick Van Dyke.

As nice as you would imagine he would be.

Marty Robbins. My kid sat next to him at a movie and he was exceedingly nice to a 6yo with ants in his pants and even shook my hand when we were leaving.

Heather Locklear.. Well after her heyday but my 2yo daughter grabbed her leg at a breakfast place and she picked her up and gave her a big hug.*

*Dad did NOT also get a hug.

Flew next to Hannibal Buress on a flight from Vegas to Nola. I think he was a little annoyed that no one recognized him

Would one not first have to know who he is, in order to “recognize” him?

Did you not watch Monday Night Raw?..like ever?

---

No, “like never.”

I also did not watch soap operas.

Who downvotes a post about famous people you've met?

I ran into Elvis one time in Vegas. He had really let himself go, but he was friendly enough.

Me and my wife did yoga with Elizabeth Olsen several times while she was in town filming "I Saw the Light".

She would sneak in the back of the class (where me and my wife would always set up), do a sesh, and kinda sneak out.

Me and my wife were often times the only ones that would even notice she was there.

She was super nice.

And super flexible.

David Keith pull a "Do you know who I am?"

I had to google him and I’m pretty old school.

Me too. I never knew who played Sid Worley on An Officer and a Gentleman.

I was very lucky in HS as my best friend's brother was the local rock station DJ and got us back stage for every hard rock/big hair bands that came through. C.C. from poison was probably my favorite and they invited us to watch the filming of a video. The only one really not likable out of the ones we met was Tommy Lee but the rest of the Crue was cool to hang with.

A guy in my unit was dating a girl who grew up next door and was best friends with Sara Newsted in Michigan. She hooked us up to a party invite outside of LA where we met Sara's brother Jason, Slash, and Lemmy. Those dudes could party and were a blast to hang around. I actually ran into Slash many years later at the Carolina Rebellion and thought it was pretty cool he remembered me and the guys I was with were like in awe. At the same Rebellion I also had a few drinks in the VIP area with Aziz Ansari who I had no idea who he was as I do not watch much TV but my friends came up and were like you know everyone. Again I did not know who he was at the time.

Hung out with Dennis Rodman and his crew at a bar San Diego. He might be one of the nicest celebs I have ever met.

A friend back home when got our of the Corps little sister Odessa was dating Matt Damon for a while. She was the personal assistant(IIRC) for Affleck and met both of them when they were in town with her visiting. Neither really had any personality. They were nice though.

Robin Williams was in town shooting the film Patch Adams while I was home on leave and met him at Blockbuster. Talked with him and got his autograph as he signed Flubber for me.

I met Anthony Hopkins as well when he was shooting Hannibal in town and a friend of mine got me on set at the Biltmore Estate. Funniest guy I have met and always up to something they said on the set.

One other that many might not consider a celeb but Ric Flair would come to town every so often and hang at a bar owned by a friend of mine. One of the nicest guys I have ever met and was that way to everyone.

The same friend of mine lived next door to Andie MacDowell(Rose) and have talked to her a lot even though she not a huge star but very nice.

I met Andrew West (Gareth on Walking Dead) and his wife, Amber Stevens West (Greek and 22 Jump Street) at the Carousel Bar in NOLA one Christmas. We hung out and talked to them for a few hours. Very cool down to earth folks. And Amber Stevens West...
