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.

I shared a row (coach) with the Dirty Heads 7-8 years ago. I definitely recognized them…then again I was listening to one of their albums at the time. Random coincidence.

I was traveling from San Jose to Atlanta. We talked about the Witcher 3 on Xbox for a long time. They were all about gaming.

I was on a flight from New Orleans to Detroit...was in the aisle when from behind me I heard someone say "excuse me brother"...I didn't even need to look as I could spot the voice from a mile away, Phil Anselmo.

I've read this entire thread and I only recognize maybe 15% of the celebrities named here.

Not me, but a buddy was on a flight to the Bahamas with Stevie Wonder. He said Stevie was pretty recognizable.

Drew Brees was behind me with his family in security at the airport. We were both yelling at our respective kids.

I legit had to IMDB her to even know what she's been in. Other than her role in Black Panther / Marvel the last thing I have seen that she was in was ER in 2008/2009 and I never would have remember that was her

I was the only person that recognized Anderson silva on a flight from Atlanta to Brazil. Once I started talking to him and taking pics then people started coming in.

Csb, rehab roommate was Owen Wilson's Little brother. Owen flew in for a visit and got to shoot ball in a Locked down just except us 3. Both down to earth funny people. The little brother clung to me cause I didn't kiss his arse nor put him on a pedestal plus he loved louisiana in his youth and loved to hear crazy as stories on how i grew up. Stay in contact till this day.
