28. About 40 years ago my father was sitting next to Telly Savalas at some Vegas blackjack table. For about an hour they talked and bet some large amounts of money and my father never let on that he knew the guy was famous. Telly finally says, “its pretty cool that you haven’t asked for my autograph”. My father responds, “well, you didn’t ask for mine”. Telly laughs and writes on a cocktail napkin..”Hey Jeff, can I have your autograph?” He carried that damn napkin with him for years. ~ |

A cool story but gambling big amounts of money ... definitely not smart for most people.

Certainly not smart in my book.

29. I was at Soundwave Festival in Australia a few years back. I was at a small stage watching a relatively unknown band called Dredg. Was standing there watching, when I noticed a guy standing next to me watching too. I recognized him but I didn’t let on. I asked if he knew this band and he talked about how creative and underrated they are. Later that night he headlined as the singer of Limp Bizkit. ~ |

I have no idea who the lead singer of Limp Bizkit is but it seemed a cool experience for this person in Australia.

LOL Rick. I never even heard of the band called Limp Bizkit, much less their lead singer.

30. My brother used to work a parking booth at a Lake where Chuck Woolery used to fish. Chuck would pull up and my brother would say, “5 dollars”. Chuck would then start to find ways to make clear who he was – Chuck Woolery. My brother would respond with, “5 dollars”. ~ |

31. Was at a convenience store in LA when me and a very nicely-dressed black gentleman walked up to the cashier at the same time to pay. It was night time and he had his dark shades on and was talking on his phone. I gave him the “after you” gesture and he nodded and said “thanks buddy”, paid and left. It wasn’t until he was out of the store that I realized he was Jamie Foxx. ~ |

Of course. They are just people with all the same needs and snacking habits of us all.

32. I was at a test screening of the movie Valkyrie. Me and my friends were near the front of the theater talking before the movie started, and I went on this big, loud rant about how “normally I like Tom Cruise movies but War of the Worlds was such a piece of shit, one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen, plot didn’t make sense, they strung a bunch of cool scenes together and put a shit happy ending on it and called it a day. ” after I wrap up my 5 minute rant outlining everything wrong with War of the Worlds the person sitting behind us tapped me on the shoulder and point 4 seats down in my row to Tom Cruise glaring at me, I gave him the nod and sat there for what might have been the longest 10 minutes before a movie started ever. Not quite what you were asking for but close enough for an excuse to tell that story. ~ |

33. Before I realized who he was, Shaun Alexander asked me if I liked football. I told him I liked the Steelers. He said, “Yeah, I lost to them in the Super Bowl.” I felt pretty stupid, but he thought it was funny. Super nice guy. ~ |

34. Samuel L. Jackson was on my flight. I was second to last to board the flight and there was all this commotion with the flight attendants and gate crew. Once I approached the door of the plane I realized they were all looking at Samuel L. Jackson. He was standing by the cockpit making himself available to passengers/fans. I played it cool. Didn’t say a word. Turns out, I’m shy around celebrities. I’m just glad I didn’t make a snakes on the plane joke. ~

The movie, "Snakes on a Plane," starring Samuel Jackson
FBI agent Nelville Flynn (Samuel L. Jackson) boards a flight from Hawaii to Los Angeles, escorting a witness to trial. An on-board assassin releases a crate of deadly serpents in an attempt to kill the witness. Flynn and a host of frightened passengers and crew must band together to survive the slithery threat.

35. Not sure if this counts but when I was 15 I was really into playing Starcraft (being a 3 month old game at the time) on battle.net. I did mostly 3v3 games. After finishing this one particularly epic match (close game, we won), we all got into a chat room to talk about how fun that was. Iirc, one of them says something to the effect of “not sure if you all care but you just beat Ben Affleck.” Of course we all ask him to prove it, so he told us to wait a minute and visit his official website’s message board (benaffleck.com or something like that). He had just made a post in red (red being Ben Affleck himself) about just losing a game of Starcraft.
We briefly chatted with him and that was it. ~ |

36. Not me, but my wife. In college she worked as an intern at a nonprofit that was doing some work at a local concert venue, and while she was in the building doing things this older gentleman struck up a conversation with her. He introduced himself as Justin, and she commented about a family member who shares the name so it would be easy to remember. They talked for a while about random things, the kind of work she was doing, her aspirations after leaving college, etc. He asked if she was staying around for the concert afterward, and she replied that she wasn’t a fan of the band and was going to head out as soon as her work there was done. He wished her well and walked off. A short while later someone asked her, “so you and Justin seemed to hit it off, what were you two talking about?” “Oh, just random stuff, why who is he?” “The lead singer and guitarist for the Moody Blues.” “…. aaaand I just told him I wasn’t a fan of his work.” ~ |
