What celebs have you seen?

The King of Sweden came to my job to see a Nobel Prize winner that he was friends with. I took a stroll to get a look at him. Fawn Hall jumped up on my counter to sit when I worked at Sears right after the Iran Contra hearings. She had on a trench coat and was really twitchy. I don't count Washington Redskin players that I've seen as celebs because I don't like the team.

Ugh, sadly R Kelly in Vegas back in 2001 in Vegas. I was a drunk underaged person. He was pissed off when I requested my sharpie marker back. Was after I think the Billboard Awards show? Was at the then MGM Casino.

NOTE: best celeb moment was Ice T and Coco in AZ. I think I was 18 at the time and thoght her name was Gogo. Anyways, sweet couple and Ice T did a rap for me, along with a signing.

Saw Daniel Radcliffe less than 2 hours ago. He's filming in our town, on a small street where I park my car, so I had access to the set. I'm kicking myself because I had to drive my car out of my car park onto the set and he was looking my way but I didn't wave as I wasn't 100% sure it was him and didn't want to look like a tit. Turns out it was, dammit! He was wearing a 70's wig and beard so looked different, but looking at videos uploaded from today, it was. I knew he was short but he's pocket sized!

I got nostalgic for this thread.

My boyfriend is a celebrity magnet. He can always pick them out of a crowd be it at a restaurant, on the streets of NYC or even the local farmer's market. And he has no problem approaching them and then somehow engaging them without being an annoying fanboy. I usually watch from afar because I find it all kinds of embarrassing frankly but getting a little acknowledgement wave on occasion is fun.

Some cool up close and personal encounters in the past few years have been Reese Witherspoon, Jon Corzine (former NJ gov.), Andrew Ross Sorkin, Harry Connick Jr, Jon Hamm, Al Leiter (MLB great) and Eli Manning. All very nice, appreciative and down to earth.

I think I would like to meet Harry Connick Jr. Reese too. Awesome sightings.

I’d want to meet Eli and address him as my brother in law

I still keep thinking I see Don Rickles. The dude must have so many dopplegangers because I could've sworn I saw him in a Miami diner last year. I almost stopped the guy to ask if he was him.

Glad I googled him before doing that because Don Rickles died in 2017.

We've had the most glorious weather these past two weeks in NYC even with the odd heat wave.

**qwerty** · June 27th, 2020, 07:36 PM

Yes, the blue skies have been spectacular.

My new skill is to go someplace and then my celeb crush will visit a week or so later. I was in Hyde Park/Notting Hill a few weeks ago, now George MacKay was papped there this week. My local park is St James’, I walk there often, Chris Evans there yesterday. Stop being so difficult guys, I want to create a coronavirus sex bubble with either of you!!!

^I was going to ask you to let me know how that goes with Chris Evans. I'm lucky to see the brother of a circuit judge or a city councilor at this point in my life.

So I noticed I had a "restore saved post" on this thread and wondered what it was. I remember writing it but don't know why I didn't post it at at the time (last October), but maybe I thought maybe no one would be interested, but the hell with it. Here is my post from last October when I went to a large city and sat in crowded theater for a few hours and social distancing was not even something I'd dreamt up yet:

I saw James Frain (from The Tudors and True Blood and Orphan Black and The White Queen...etc.) at a play. He was actually appearing in the play so that wasn't surprising. The surprising thing was that before the play, I had set down my prosecco to run to the bathroom before the play started and when I stood up and turned around, he was pretty much in my face. He had a very calm, "if I don't make eye contact with anyone, they won't talk to me" determination in his walk. He's taller and broader shouldered than I would have thought. I really have no idea why he was wandering around with the peons and would have thought he'd have had a more discreet way into the place, but I guess not. I took my mom to the matinee showing of The King's Speech to get her out of the house and to do something fun, but I think I was the youngest person there (besides the high schools and the dude I sat next to who was there with his mom) and I probably the only one who recognized him from the ten million shows I've seen him on.

Also saw one of the guys from Downton Abbey (Harry Hadden-Paton)...in the play, not walking around.
