He's tiny.

ETA: when he "talked" to my 2.5 year old, I really wanted to interrupt and say "you gotta pay the troll's toll if you want the boy's soul". But my wife would have killed me

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.



I have an autographed basketball signed by Shaq, but I was like 12 when he signed 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.

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.

Luke Wilson was in a Hooters with several other B listers once. My cousin was one of those that went nuts. I didn't want to get caught staring and he was trying to find a way to get an autograph or something without being rude. We convinced him it's be rude to interrupt them eating. Well, he goes to the bathroom and we see Luke Wilson go in while he's still in there. We thought for sure we were getting kicked out due to him according a celeb in the men's bathroom....luckily, he somehow never saw him

Was at an LSU/Tulane baseball game at Zephyr Field years ago. In my seat just got comfortable when all of a sudden I to get up to make way for a large man wearing an LSU shirt and carrying a pitcher of beer all to himself. It was John Goodman. He sat about two or three seats away from me. My reaction was jus oh cool. Didn't say anything to him as I figured the guy is just coming to chill and watch a ballgame. Everyone else around us took notice but didn't bother him either, I was impressed.

So if I was to see them on the street I would freak out because theyre guys I've appreciate and emulated for most of my life.

Sorry, but

My sisters made a point about george lucas eating at a table two over from us.
I dont get it. Let people have a life.

I sat next to sean penn at a restaurant in hawaii. He compared my outfit ((hand made by one of our kids who has degree in fabric design)) to nick nolte and we relaxed over drinks. Calm, slightly loaded. My wife came in and was gaga.

Phil Collen from Def Leppard sat at a table beside us. He was with his wife and a child, and they were having cereal and breakfast food at noon. DL had played a show in town the night before, and it was a hotel restaurant.

I was at a business lunch with older people, and none of them had a clue who he was. Apparently, no one else did either. They were left alone.

I remember seeing Richard Simmons after I had played in a French Quarter parade. I was pretty buzzed, and had red eyes. I saw him, and a bunch of people were crowding him, getting pictures.

As I passed by, I cracked a joke. He laughed, saw me, and asked how fricked up I was. I told him I was drumming, and we shot the shite for a few. I told him I'd lost weight, and I enjoyed him on Stern, and he cried. By the end, he was asking where the good jazz clubs were.

But the whole time, people kept taking photos. And they kept telling me to get a photo with him. I was avoiding it, but finally said screw it after hearing it about half a dozen times. Plus, he looked particularly freakish that night, with incredibly orange hair. Out of dozens of celebrity I've seen in Nola, that was the only one I bothered to get a photo with.

But to see people act so bizarrely because he's famous, just seemed strange. I don't understand why adults care about photos with celebrities or autographs. Just treat them like anyone else you see. They appreciate being treated like a normal human.
