What Celebrities Have You Encountered?

What Celebrities Have You Encountered?

Back in like 2005, I was biking down a pathway along the waterfront in Alexandria, VA, and I saw that I was approaching CNN personality James Carville (who was jogging in the opposite direction). He was taller than expected (a little over 6 feet). I had a smirk on my face and was considering saying something smartass to him because I never could stand the dude. As I got closer, I could tell that he noticed that I had recognized him. He grimaced and looked down at the ground, as if to brace for something I was about to say. I just laughed and kept biking past him.

should of run your bike into him
 
About ten years ago I went tubing with the guy who played Buzz in Home Alone. There were only four of us in our group.

The crazy thing about it... I had no idea he was Buzz from Home Alone until the next day when my buddy (who brought him along) said, "You realize who Devon is, right?"
 
Can you recall any hands that you and he were in and how they played out?
It's been like ten years. He sat in my game for around a half hour until a higher stakes game opened. He was playing every pot, splashing around, and having fun. He had a very serious looking dude with him who looked like Paulie from Rocky lol
 
Aside from going to conventions and meeting celebrities, the only one I've seen in the wild was special effects guru Tom Savini at a Target. I didn't stop to bother him.
 
Interesting. You know Brad Booth? I knew the guy back in HS days...some interesting stories. Some friends of mine are still tight with him. His poker career certainly went to shit. Still out there, though.

I've met a lot of musical celebs over the years; Seal, Chris Isaak, all the Nickelback dudes (ugh), AC/DC. Motley Crue, Carly Rae Jepsen, Korn, Deftones, FMN, Mr. Bungle, Joni Mitchell, Elvis Costello and Diana Krall (she was so beautiful in person, I legit was blushing like an idiot), a bunch more.

I work in the music industry, so the vast majority of these meets were in recording studios, through other music friends, etc.

My favorite was Diana Krall though. Meet her while on the ferry, after playing a weekend away. Elvis and their kids were there as well. I was sitting in my car, waiting to depart the boat, and they were walking by, looking for their car...she notice I had that "holy fuck, its you?" look. She waived, came up to my window, said "hello"...I mumbled something incredibly incoherent back, ugh. She then noticed my drums in the back of my car, she lit up, asking if I was gigging, etc. I told her the bar I played at, she got excited because she had played there in her earlier years as well. We talked shop for 5 minutes, while Costello stood there with the kids...she introduced me to him and the kids. Super nice people.

I know who Brad Booth is but never played with him. I've seen him play on tv many times.
 
I've had a lot of encounters with Alexandra Daddario, although we don't know each other too well, the relationship is purely sexual
 
I've met a ton. Most recently Laura Prepon and Ben Foster a couple weeks ago.
 
I met The Nature Boy Ric Flair at the grand opening of Hardees in Moncks Corner back in like 84-85. He autographed a PWI centerfold, which was later stolen off the wall of my dorm at USC.
 
When I was younger I met Scott Bacula riding snowmobiles in Colorado and I smoked weed with Blake Shelton on his tour bus after an Orange Blossom concert. I'd never seen a mullet quite like that before in person

Michael Jordan, shorter than I expected. Mario lemieux, taller. Jim mcmahon, bill cartwright. Also alec baldwin and kim basinger. Alec was a fucking douche, she was great. My favorite and the only one that made me nervous was meeting elvis presleys best friend joe esposito. Really awesome nice guy though.
 
I'm good friends with a former MLB player. I've met a lot of players he knows. I won't be stating his name.

As far as a few names of those I've met and had conversations with I don't mind naming. CJ Wilson, Matt Cain, Marco Estrada, Howie Kendrick, etc.

I did a Jason Kidd basketball camp as a kid. Met a bunch of pro players. Shaq is the biggest name out of that.
Im a giants fan, how was cain?
 
I was in the front row of a Rahzel concert on Roskilde festival in Denmark many many years ago, and Mike Patton did a cameo apperance. After the show he was just hanging in front of the stage, so I just grabbed his hand like in a very aggressive "hi, nice to meet you" kind of way.
He was coked out of his mind!

Also got to sit down and have a beer with Slug (Atmosphere) and Blueprint before a show if they counts as celebrities? A room full of HipHop heads, and me and this other guy was the only one who recognized them. They were cool as fuck. This time I was coked out of my mind...
 
Sean Hughes of Never Mind the Buzzcocks used to have a season ticket near me at Crystal Palace, seems were a club that only comedians bother supporting, Izzard, Joe Brand, etc.

I’ve only had actual conversations with Caity Lotz and Dominique Provost-Chalkley, and both were delightful.

Caity was surprised that I had watched an early show of hers called Death Valley and I told her the story of how the very first time I had seen her on screen was randomly turning on the TV during a trip and her introductory scene in that show was on.

Dominique asked me where I was from, and when I told her Peru she started to tell me about a vacation she took here once.

But I have gotten my picture taken with…
  • Caity Lotz
  • Hayden Panettiere
  • Karen Gillan
  • Laura Vandervoort
  • Matt Smith
  • Nathan Fillion
As for celebrities that I’ve been within a meter of, but didn’t have any interaction with, off the top of my head there’s…
Alex Kingston

  • Brent Spiner
  • Brett Dalton
  • Casper Van Dien
  • Danielle Panabaker
  • Dina Meyer
  • Edward James Olmos

And there’s probably a lot more from the times I’ve been to the walk of fame at Dragon Con.
 
No doubt.
Hey masturbation counts as sexual. There's sexuality involved. Plus he films it, and that's clearly amateur pornography, so I don't understand why you're giving him the business.
