10. I met Justin Timberlake and had no idea it was him until someone told me afterwards. Went to a basketball game with my dad and we stopped by the bar area in the arena first. The game had just started so it was pretty empty except for the bar itself. My dad goes to the restroom and I walk up to the bar to order a beer. There’s only one seat at the bar next to a guy in a baseball cap and sunglasses. I politely ask if the seat is taken and he just says “Nope, it’s all you, man.” We shoot the shit for a couple minutes. He’s sitting on my right and eventually he says he and his wife are going to go to their seats. He extends his hand and asks my name. I tell him and ask his name. He says, “Justin. Nice to meet you dude, have a good night.” He and his wife leave and the bartender comes up to me and says, “You know that was Justin Timberlake, right?” I immediately did a double take and couldn’t believe I didn’t recognize him even with the hat and sunglasses. I told my girlfriend at the time. who is a huge Justin Timberlake fan, and she couldn’t believe I met him without knowing it was him. She wouldn’t let it go for like a month. ~ |

I probably would not have either, but I am not one to get all drooly and weak in the knees in presence of a celebrity. To me, they are only just people.

11. When I was younger with fewer responsibilities I used to just drive around for the hell of it. To me, driving is a hobby. Late at night was my favorite time. The streets are empty. My uncle is like this too. I asked him if he wanted to meet at American Coney Island. We sat down in a booth. A couple guys walked in after us and sat down behind us. Eminem, Dr. Dre, and a guy I later found out was Jimmy Iovine. We paid them no attention, but we knew who they were. They finished before us and as they were walking out, Eminem nodded at us and said, “Thanks for not making a big deal about this. We got you.” He and the other guys disappeared around the corner. ~ |

They are just people and I am the same, Foxy. I love the Merlin character but have seen the actor in other roles since and they do not compare ... so I am more a fan of characters actors play.
I hate rap so this would not have been a happy experience!

I hate rap too, and would certainly not have recognized him, and would not have behaved any differently even I had recognized him.

12. Stood in front of Miranda Cosgrove in line for Space Mountain at Disneyland. Weirdest part of it was we were in the same car on the ride and nobody screamed or did anything during the ride. It was completely silent. Me and my sister just looked at each other like “what the hell is going on?” ~ |

Alas, Rick. I never heard of her either. Looked her up
Miranda Taylor Cosgrove (born May 14, 1993) is an American actress and singer. Her career began at the age of seven with several television commercial appearances. Cosgrove's film debut came in 2003, when she appeared as Summer Hathaway in School of Rock. |

13. Me and my wife were on a trip for 9 days with Rainn Wilson (Dwight from the office) and his family. I know he doesn’t like being treated like he’s just a character from a tv show so I refrained from mentioning it or even letting on that I knew he was a famous actor. One day he had a sandwich with some beetroot in it, turns to his wife and says, “These beets are really amazing.” It took every bit of me not to say something about Dwight then. He’s a fantastic guy, and his family is lovely. ~ |

14. Jerry Seinfeld tried coming into my coffee shop but I told him we are closing so we can’t help him. Didn’t realize it was him till I turned around. Sorry Jerry! ~ |

All customers are equally important but regular customers, to me, would be more important than a celeb that might come in once. That business person was treating everyone with the same kind of respect.

15. Was walking out of a gas station over on Crescent Heights and Sunset and heard a “hey!…hey!” coming from a cracked window on tinted out range rover that was parked at one of the pumps. I walk over to the car to see Jeff Goldblum, who had somehow seen my gold ring I was wearing on my right hand from 20 feet away. He proceeds to tell me how he loves my ring and has been looking for one just like it and asks me where I got it. I tell him it was my grandfather’s and he asks to see it up close. I hold my hand up to Jeff Goldblum, he takes my hand, gushes about the ring for a minute and thanks me. I said sure and walked back to my apartment. I like to think we’re friends now. ~ |

I am sure he went to check out antique gold rings after seeing this one and liking it so much. Yes, repeat customers are and should be treated the best by business owners  |

16. I was in a book store in RI and was in the horror section. Picked up a book by Stephen King, and flipped it over and saw his picture on the back (or inside the cover, I don’t really remember).
I look up, and in the next aisle over, right across the book shelf from me, is a guy that looks exactly like Stephen King. So I hold up the book and say, “Is this you?”
“Yeah.”
“Good books.”
“Thanks.”

And I think that is pretty much as it should be. If the celeb wants to make more of it, they can....and will.

Yes! Stephen King seems to be a cool guy, as unpretentious as he is brilliant |

17. When I worked at Target Jack Black came in and kept asking for things we didn’t have. Stuff like Long John’s (it was summer). I just went along with it for a while until he got bored and left. ~ |

18. I served Daniel Radcliffe brunch one time. All the other servers were freaking the hell out that he was in our restaurant, so, given I don’t care much about actors and would remain professional, I was chosen to take care of him. He ordered the eggs Benedict, no sides, extra Benedict. I dubbed it “The Quad Benny”. He was incredibly polite and appreciative, tipped well, and his accent was downright intoxicating. After that experience, I became a big Radcliffe fan. ~ |

19. I met Giancarlo Esposito at the Whole Foods in Austin, Tx 4-5 years ago. (Gus Fring from Breaking Bad) I worked there as a security guard at the time and he asked me where the cheese section was. I told him and he very politely said thank you and went on his way. A few people walked over to him to ask for photos but I was happy just to have met him. ~ |
