37. Worked at a hotel and Russell Crowe came in the lobby. He went to the house phones and called front desk. Where I was working. I could see him pretty easily. I answered the phone and he asked to be connected to a room so I put him through. This wasn’t long after he threw a phone at a hotel clerk so I didn’t want to take a chance at pissing him off. ~ |

YES!! Celebrity status does not make such behavior acceptable. I looked this event up in Google and it really happened. I would not attend the movies of people who behave in this manner.

38. A couple of years ago me and my sister were at Comic-Con. You tend to see some a lot of famous people there, but it’s usually with them in booths with guards and stuff (with the exception of Seth Green). Anyway, me and my sister were at one of the booths waiting for their giveaways when a man suddenly came up beside me all excited and in a bit of wonder. He told us how great everything was there and how much of an experience it was for him there, all in a while I was probably looking at him strangely because of how familiar his accent and his voice and his face and his blond hair was. He asked where we got our poster tubes, and that’s probably when I remembered who he was but decided to just not mention it because I was kind of still in disbelief and pointed him to one of the far off booths where they sell poster tubes. The man was Owen Wilson. I hadn’t been sure it was him, because I always thought he’d be a lot taller. It was kind of warming to see how excited he was to be there in the crowds. ~ |

39. Met Elon Musk in a Tesla store in LA. Really wanted to meet him but didn’t want to be that guy. Decided I had a plan, so walked up to him and said, “Excuse me, do you work here?” He replied, “I mean yeah kind of.” I say, “Ah what can you tell me about the entertainment console of the Model S?” He says, “Let me see if I can find someone to help you.” To which I say, “Nah I’m just kidding with you.” He laughed and shook my hand and walked off. ~ |

40. My sister had an encounter with Jack Black where she didn’t know it was him. We were at a concert for my uncle’s band and she texted me from downstairs while she was charging her phone “I totally just had a conversation with someone who looked like a fatter Jack Black” I texted her back that our uncle knows Jack Black and that was definitely him. Good thing she didn’t do the whole “Do you know that you look like a heavier Jack Black?” thing! ~ |

41. Used to work at a posh hotel and we had weddings there all the time. I was pretty young at the time, say 15. David Tennant was at one wedding, Doctor Who, and I was pouring him coffee. At first I was there thinking it is him / isn’t him....so I was playing it cool. I went back to the kitchen to top up more coffee in my coffee jug and the staff were talking about it too....before I had decided it actually was David Tennant. Spent the rest of the night playing it cool because I was in that.... yeah.... whatever,... stage of teenage life. Inside, I was freaking out. ~ |

42. I had the fortune of being on the same plane as Stan Lee. We were being shuttled to another part of the airport. I whispered to what I assumed to be his bodyguard that I didn’t want to lead others on who he was so please just let him know that I appreciate his work. He nodded then whispered into Stan Lee’s ear. He then smiled and put his head down in acknowledgement.
Rest In Peace big guy. You were a big part of my childhood. ~ |

Stan Lee was a big part of my childhood too with his fabulous Marvel characters like Spider-Man, the Hulk and the Avengers |

I work in an outdoor goods store in Boulder CO, which for those who don’t know is one of the biggest climbing towns in the US. He came into the store to get some stuff as he’s known to travel here and climb with other big pros, notably Alex Honald who is a buddy of his. He had been outted in the middle of the footwear department by a coworker on mine in front of a big group of customers so by the time he got over to the climbing area where I work he was really on edge and unfriendly. I walked up to him and honesty just acted like he wasn’t hot shit. I acted like I didn’t really know who he was and just spoke to him like any other customer even breaking conversation with him at several points to answer questions for other folks as opposed to giving him my full undivided attention.
After about 5 minutes of that he totally relaxed and his entire demeanor changed. He went from being somewhat rude and cold to being very chill, calling me bro etc. and I ended up walking around the store with him for like 25-30 minutes helping him shop. The only time I implied I knew who he was was towards the end as I was ringing him up. He asked me to recommend some climbing spots close to town like the flatirons. It was a beautiful Saturday and I said to him that those places are great but he’ll get bombarded by people if he goes there and I recommended some spots just outside of town instead. He sorta leaned in and thanked me for my discretion and that was it. It seemed like he really just wanted to be treated like a normal guy. ~ |

44. I was at IKEA in Vancouver and noticed this lady in a low hanging hat had dropped something. I helped her pick it up and noticed it was Sarah McLachlan. Didn’t let on that I knew who she was because I couldn’t think of anything to say. ~ |

LOL ... it was good to not say anything to her. I would recognize her singing voice much quicker than her face  |

Yes, he did the right thing. After all, he was helping her because she needed help, not because he recognized her as a celeb.

45. I helped Steven Spielberg move his daughter’s bags into her college dorm. I was working a shift helping first-years move in and I see a guy in a hat and sunglasses who is unmistakably Spielberg. I strike up a conversation, ask if he needs help with the bags, etc. First names only — “We’re from CA. My wife, Kate, and I sent all our kids to East Coast schools though.” Stuff like that. Later, when his daughter opened the door for the first time, he whipped out a camcorder and, wearing the biggest Dad grin, recorded the whole thing before turning the camera on my friend and me to ask us about the city. So, I have a supporting (the luggage), speaking role in a limited release (home movie) film shot by Steven Spielberg. ~ |
