- People Describe Their Worst Or Most Embarrassing Celebrity Interaction
We are Happy Land.
Sometimes, you meet a celebrity and they make your day. But it can also be awkward. And comedian John Field is much more interested in the latter rather than the former.
This autumn, he asked Twitter users: "What's the worst interaction with a celebrity you've ever had?" From Devi Lovato and Kid Rock to Jessica Alba and Cillian Murphy; turns out, there's no shortage of those.
Of course, we must remember that everyone has a bad day and nobody owes us anything just because we heard them on a stage or saw them on a screen. Plus, some people tend to exaggerate. But with that being said, it's still a pretty entertaining thread to say the least.
Every day is an exciting experience with vivid, humorous, failure or happy emotions. We wish you would enjoy watching them.

These would probably be funnier if I knew who these celebrities were.
I agree... most are not anyone I would have recognized...
It also helps if you have a little imagination.
...seriously?
Linkin Park, Imagine Dragons?...
Naomi Campbell?I don't follow fashion stuff but even I know who she is...
@@BeastChaeng there are no rules about paying attention to life.
@@BeastChaeng Yes, Naomi Campbell I've heard of. And I've heard of Imagine Dragons but would have no idea of the names, let alone recognize the people... Tyler the creator? Ira Glass? Katya?
My friend and I were 17 and trying to get Jon Bon Jovi's autograph without asking him ourselves. We were at the hotel and we saw him in the bar. We tried to get this drunk dude to go ask him, which he did, and then JBJ turned around and motioned for us to come in. We're thinking we're going to get kicked out, arrested, whatever lol...but we didn't! He talked to us for quite a bit, signed his autograph for us, and we left. Very friendly, and he made my teenage life lol. P.S. I'm 52 now so that was like a million years ago, but I still get giddy when I remember it lol..
Lucky you 🌺💗 I’m 40 , never see them in show but really love their many hits , bring me emotions of joys to sing alone .
Happy spirits group of music
Great memory I’m sure! 😍
Today I had to ask my better half if I'm 51 or 52 - because I couldn't remember what month it is and needed to do the maths 😟
I had breakfast with Robert Duvall, while he was making the movie “ Geronimo “talked about fly fishing for about an hour. He thanked me for having a real conversation with him. 🙏
Love him!
Lucky you !
You appear to be the only adult in this group.
05:28 should have replied "dont talk to me, your black, they cant talk to me!"
This is completely not surprising. Duvall is a wonderful gentleman. I envy you.
My dad had breakfast with Harrison Ford and didn’t even know who he was. He just had a chill conversation with him.
The same thing happened to my friend's father! He had a long conversation with Harrison Ford and didn't realize who it was til a waitress came over and told him
@@lazyhomebody1356 that’s so cool! I’ve heard he’s a chill guy too :)
that's really cool. now, if MY dad met Harrison Ford... well, he's a huge fan of both Star Wars and Indiana Jones, so...
@@mochisprite9779 oh boy, I can only imagine, it’d be a wish come true!
@@Le_Stamp exactly XD
Actually, the one where the guy goes "daughter!" was kind of nice/funny of him. She's young. Young people blurt things out sometimes, but he took it well it seems
Took my nephew to a premier, Hugh Jackman was there and my nephew really wanted to see him.
While Hugh was standing outside the theater for pictures my 3year old had slipped under the ropes keeping everyone back, I was busy with my 1year old & hadn't noticed. He was apparently playing on the ground around Hugh's feet. I did notice after Jackman says in a loud voice "who's cute little boy? " Jackman was holding him and had taken several photos while he had him. I was so embarrassed, but when he handed my kid back my nephew got to have a picture with him, he told me not to worry he had once lost his kid too.
omg im crying that's amazing, i love Hugh Jackman
he sounds nice
Very classy of Jackman, great story!
It's not embarrassing it's wholesome. Hugh Jackman is the best . 👌
Everyone who has a story about Hugh Jackman has a good story about Hugh Jackman. He’s a genuinely nice person.
The most unbelievable part of this is that Kid Rock was in a bookstore.
Lol!!!
Worked security at a hospital, saw a lady reading signs and looking at the hospital map and asked if she needed help. She said she was looking for PCU and I offered to escort her there since it was near where I was heading. As I walked with her, we made small talk about the hospital and the area and how she grew up around it. Then I realized she was Linda Hamilton from The Terminator and went total fanboy on her. She was surprised I recognized her and was laughing when I was going on and on about how much I loved her movies. She was so nice and down to earth and when we were in the elevator, she put her arm around my shoulder and told me to take a picture so I could show all of my friends. It was singlehandedly the coolest experience I've ever had. I stopped by Walmart and got a frame and made an 8×10 picture to hang on the wall next to the family photos 🤣🤣
Linda Hamilton has a twin sister that was a nurse, are sure you met the right Hamilton? 😀
Unfortunately Linda’s twin sister Leslie died in 2020
A family friend once went to a really fancy Michelin star restaurant for her birthday. During dinner she and her friend notice Bono sitting a couple of tables away, so when he at one point leaves the table she works up the courage to go ask the friend he's there with if it really is Bono and it is. She asks if he thinks it would be alright to ask for a picture with him but gets a polite no from the friend (didn't want to attract too much attention, I'm guessing) so she and her friend go back to their dinner. Bono and his friend leave. When she asks for the bill, however, the waiter tells her it's already been taken care of - by Bruce Springsteen, who had just left alongside Bono.
“The Boss” was probably amused that you didn’t recognize him. Great story.
Ouch. Ouch.
I've heard this story before, I'm just not sure where. Maybe on Graham Norton or sth.
@@maiNmusica yeah, someone had this story in the Big Red Chair. now, who did it really happen to ? lol
The day the drummer from Disturbed came into my restaurant. He asked to be sat in a private section so he would not be bothered by his fans. I ask him....who are you? He looked at me and said "Lady if you don't know who I am, then you don't need to know. I told him...well apparently no one else in this restaurant knows who you are either so you don't have to worry about any fans in here. You can sit with the regular folk or get the hell out. He left.
A friend of mine introduced me to someone because he knew we both liked Lovecraftian horror. We started chatting and discovered we were both writers, and the subject came around to some of the stranger Lovecraftian horror writers in the field. One of the most notorious is Tani Jantsang, who has a legendary reputation for her weirdness, being both a Satanist and a communist. This person I'd just met was fascinated and kept prodding me for more information, so I gaily informed her about Tani running a cult, other writers I'd met telling me she had sent her followers to stalk and harass them, and that she was feared by most people working in the field.
Later I discovered -- you've probably already guessed -- that I was telling Tani Jantsang all about Tani Jantsang. To her credit she found the whole thing hilarious and she later ended up publishing one of my stories in her horror magazine.
But is she a Satanist and a Communist?
@@Kitty-mb4hy Does it matter?
@@BeastChaeng yeah, I wonder if everything about the woman turned out to be a rumor?
@@Kitty-mb4hy She runs an organization called the Satanic Reds. You decide.
@@NoJusticeNoPeace ahhh I see, lol. Thank you!
I got asked for my autograph in an airport once, no idea who they thought I was I just sighed and signed then carried on walking!
Omg that's hilarious. Would love to have seen their faces when they took a look at the autogeaph.
🤣🤣🤣
Lol 😂
I'd be nervous about identity theft, tbh.
@@101jir I just did a squiggle with a kiss at the end, no address or phone number, no bank details or social security numbers, I think it was pretty safe to be honest 🤣
When I see celebrities, unless they are there to interact with the public, I treat them the way I would want to be treated and leave them the f alone.
I've only met rock band members in public like Ivan from FFDP, waited on the band Lamb of God, and saw the chick from Paramour walking around the festival.... but never did i over react or engage them in silly banter. I like music, can appreciate their talent, but they're still human.
I one met Harry Styles once in a plane trip to UK, he's my seatmate the whole flight, didn't know who he was at the start, we keep glancing on each other, I literally thought "This guy is weird" lol
man what wouldn't i give to have been you

Who is Harry Styles?
LUCKY
In 1978, I was 17 and about to board a flight at DFW to go to NYC with my high school drama club. My friend Mike grabbed my arm and pointed, all he could say was OMG, OMG OMG! I looked up and there was Carol Channing at the ticket counter. She was on our flight! She was in 1st class, of course.
As we waited for the plane she sat with us as we chattered like monkeys about how we were drama students going to NYC to see several Broadway plays. She was lovely! So encouraging and charming.
Most celebs of her stature would be horrified to be mobbed by a bunch of giddy teenagers, but I guess she realized we weren't average teens, we were theatre nerds and she was a Goddess to us.
Yes, her smile really was that huge and dazzling. What a sweet lady.
She has a very affable presence.
I would have died in my shoes. CAROL CHANNING?! Ughhh you are so, so lucky.

Many years ago, my husband and I were at a small Italian restaurant. I had gone to the ladies, and on the way back, spotted someone who looked very familiar (great with faces, suck at names). When I reached our table, I asked my husband who the person was, saying that he looked very familiar to me (I really do suck at remembering names), but not where I thought I had seen him before. He looked over and said it was John Travolta.
To this day, if celebrity sightings come up in conversations, he takes great pleasure announcing to people that I once thought John Travolta was someone I went to school with - a total lie, but always gets a laugh....
I remember when I was 14 or 15, I was at Guitar Center with a friend. I heard these riffs, and was like "that sounds like Metallica, but better." We walked up to the second floor, and after a few minutes looked down, and it was Kirk Hammett. He noticed us after a few minutes, and acknowledged us with a smile and a nod. We watched a little while longer, and then we left. We had to pass him to leave, and I'm sure he would have signed an autograph, but I was content just to watch and be acknowledged by a legend. And left without bothering him.
Damn! That's a cool story. Awesome of you to be so chill, because if it were me i would have definitely asked for the pick he was using at least. I love Metallica!
So awesome! I love him! 💕 I have never been able to see them in concert 😭😭😭
Metallica are my favorite rock band and I'm only 24... I would have at least asked to take a picture with him
@@harukoharuhara1863 He was jamming. I didn't want to interrupt that. He looked like he was super into it and enjoying himself. Metallica had just toured for 2-3 years for the Black Album. I just felt it was the right thing to do at the time, let the guy have a little space.
@@johnquackenbush9429 I would have been even more likely to go over and start a conversation if I saw James Hetfield in a public place,he has a bad reputation but I've seen enough videos on UA-cam of him being perfectly nice to the fans to outweigh any rumors
A hundred years ago when I was a teenager, in the mid-60’s, I went to a lot of rock concerts (I grew up in Southern California). After seeing one particular concert in April of ‘68, I walked around to the service/freight entrance at the back of this immense auditorium. I waited for what seemed like a long time, but then members of the bands began to walk down the stairs to their waiting vehicles. I had seen It’s a Beautiful Day with the Jefferson Airplane. I was crazy about the Airplane and guess who came down the stairs to me-Grace Slick. She was obviously tired, it was late at night, but talked about the concert and was interesting.
Flash forward to 2000. I discover she’s having an art exhibit not 3 blocks from where I work. Took my lunch hour to see her. I was the only one in the gallery for the entire time. She was so gracious, interesting, answered questions. We talked for the hour about the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, Woodstock, music and a lot more. Something I’ll never forget.
I spoke with Denzel Washington once in a lounge. I told him I loved his work. He asked me what my favorite was, probably expecting some typical response. I told him Mississippi Masala. He was very surprised because it was unexpected. We talked about it and race issues for the better part of an hour. Great guy.
Mine? I accompanied my husband to Las Vegas for a dealers’ convention, I was obviously pregnant. I was standing in a very open gallery/lobby looking up at one of the obelisks when Chris Angel, who was performing in the Luxor (his crap and posters and statuettes on pyramids were freaking everywhere) decided to ram straight into me and damn near knocked me over. He turned around and glared at me like I should’ve gotten out of his way, and then his security dude who only looked moderately concerned for my well-being, also kind of glared at me like I should’ve moved. There were not many people in the gallery, there was plenty of room to walk everywhere, but here’s me just looking at one of the statues, off to the side kind of by myself, but then that happened. What the hell?
i was at comic-con, and happened to be walking by alice cooper’s booth with my dad (i was about 16). there was no one in his line, and as soon as my dad made eye contact, he motioned us over. we had a pleasant talk with him (my dad is a huge fan) and got a picture, all for free. apparently he was bored just sitting there, and didn’t particularly care about making money lol. super chill dude
My wife used to work in the building where Aerosmith had their studio. One night as I was picking her up Steven Tyler came out and headed for his (Lamborghini?) I waved and said "Hi" and he waved back. To this day I regret not saying, "We're going out for pizza, want to join us?" What was the worst he could have said, "No"? Who knows, he might have said yes!
did he tell you how the city of Milwaukee got its name?
Many years ago, my mother flew to Los Angeles and was seated next to Shari Lewis (of Lamb Chop fame of course..) She said that she was the sweetest, kindest woman and she thoroughly enjoyed the flight ✈️💕.
Late 1980s. I was in college and waiting tables at a resort in the pocanos. Huge event of the year was Bill Cosby doing a show. Usually that big of a star you could make 300-500 per night for the three nights he was there. At the last minute we were told he wanted all black servers so the resort replaced the entire staff for those 3 nights with people who had never worked there before. I am not racist but that event did teach in a small way what it is like to be a victim of racism. Made me appreciate what it must feel like to have stuff like that happen your entire life. Fwiw the entire staff no- showed every shift after that.
My grandma, aunt and i took a drive in the mountains, but grandma is a terrible driver so I ended up carsick and vomiting on a lawn... Robert Redford came over to check on me. We had stopped at Sundance.
Did you mean you were in Park City?Sundance is just the name of the film festival that Robert Redford started that takes place in Park City, Utah.
@@AutumnK No, not Park City, although it is not far away. That is where the film festival is held now, because it grew so much. Sundance is still a resort and sometimes home to Mr. Redford. You can google it. Skiing, theatre, restaurants... lovely place.
Ed Sheehan just being Ed Sheehan..😂
Sheeran though
At the Seattle airport baggage claim carrousel, I saw a celebrity. I nonchalantly walked up to him and whispered, "you're not who I think you are?". He bent down and whispered, "I don't know. Who do you think I am?" It was Sinbad in the mid 90's.
Ohh God I need to comment cause you mentioned Sinbad. It was one of my fave tv series when I was still in primary school and totally forgot about it already. And when I read your comment, I googled it and just found out the real name of the actor who played Sinbad, Zen Gesner. Didn't realize how much nostalgia it evokes! 🥺 The good old days 🥺
@@phebzthegreat2748 That's funny. I was referring to the black comedian/actor Sinbad. He's a really tall black guy that was in the movies "Houseguest", First Kid", "Kazaam", "Jingle All The Way"...
@@tonymunn ahh sorry! My bad 😅 The Sinbad I remembered was the Sinbad of the 90's hehe. Anyway, thanks for mentioning Sinbad. I really forgot about it for a loooooong time..
There’s only one Sinbad
@@chicodalianis8004 apparently not.
My claim to fame was catching the eye of a TV comedian in the supermarket. I smiled (as you do) and he rolled his eyes like "Oh no, crazy fan about to ask for an autograph" - then looked bitterly disappointed when I just carried on with my shopping!😂
OMG TELL ME THE ENTIRE THING
Met Kip Moore at three M&G two years ago. Second time he said he thought he'd seen me before (that was a little more than four months after the first M&G). The third time (two days later) he greeted me with "There she is!" Like he'd been waiting for me. He's a really amazing guy. Always there to greet fans after his show too. Really takes his time for them.
@Jim N You've mastered the art of typing. If you can do that, you can use Google. Try it.
As a kid I ran into Charles Bronson at a boat show in L.A. in the 1950's and asked him for his autograph, and he acted like it was a pain in the ass...nice way to treat a child.
I feel sorry for celebrities that have to put up with the public asking for photos and autographs all the time. I don't really understand why people think it's ok to bother them when they're just walking around living their lives. It must be the worst thing about being famous.
its also half the reason some of them do it.
also everyone in the business signed on for it.
stalkers and cult followings is just a part of it
A few of these celebs were offended when the person didn't want their autograph though
It’s part of the business. It’s something they have to put up with. The same way prison officers/cops run into criminals off the job. Medical professionals get asked constantly about medical issues from non-patients off the job. Teachers have to be pleasant to their students and their a-hole parents off the job. Even people with anonymous jobs still get, “hey where do I know you from?” and they won’t leave you alone til they figure it out. Heaven forbid if someone sees the logo of where you work and hate your company and take it out on you!
@@YeahNo Well it IS but if an actor started out in stage olays for the sheer love of acting, and is not by nature a friendly sociable person....it could be difficult. Like Martin Freeman said, if you love me don't ask for an autograph it's awkward! Do you work for UPS or something,lol. I would never yell at a worker
I wonder about that. Recognition is what most celebrities work for and how they get more opportunities to do the work they want. Without people who appreciate their work, what are they? Granted, they should still be treated respectfully.
I have always thought its best not to meet a celebrity you like bc I will most likely be disappointed.
To this day I still do not get this "celebrity hype/adoration" that people seem to have.
Yeah I have celebrities that I like but I wouldn't go bother them to ask for an autograph(which, btw, still makes me wonder why people do it as depending on the medium it can end up deteriorating due to time...why people collect celebrities autographs?) nor a photo.
Because as much as I enjoy what they give(actors: movies/TV shows/games, singers: songs, etc.) to me they still seem like regular people that just happen to have their faces/names appear more often than others.
That's why they're famous imho.
Woooow, aren’t you special! Not.
@@rollinstone5217 Your comment makes no sense nor adds anything relevant to mine so...why make it?To seek attention?To seem funny?
Me too. I’ve met/known a few “celebs” and have never asked for a photo or an autograph. I just treat them like they’re anyone else, because they are. The only photo I have is with a rock star, and his mother took it lol.
@@rollinstone5217 Same to you!!
Totally agree with you. Most celebs are not people you can look up to, if they do anything good it’s usually for publicity. They are attention driven narcissists. I’ve come to the conclusion most people desperately want what they think celebs have- fame/fortune/lifestyle and go giddy over their brush with that rather than the person they are meeting.
This happened years ago when I lived in Stoneham, Mass. Nancy Kerrigan was in line behind me at the Stop and Shop. The man behind her said, "You're very beautiful." She ignored him. He said again louder, "You've very beautiful!" She just turned her head away and made a disgusted sound. I turned to her and said, "That must happen to you a lot." In an annoyed tone she said "YES!"
Lol. Remember how she was on a float with Mickey Mouse and said "this is so stupid"
🤣
@@lazyhomebody1356 Yes, I also remember it cost her a lot of commercial endorsements but she seemed not to care. Made me feel less sorry for her that she got hit in the knee.
But shes no entertainer shes an athlete
@@tsitracommunications2884 Well, she WAS a celebrity, but, no, not entertaining.
I'm working at an event,we are short on security, so I'm guarding a door. Tall women comes right at me trying to physically push me aside.
Me: "I'm sorry you can't go in there"
She actually said "Do you know who I am!" After a stunned moment of me thinking 'crap' people actually say that.
Me: "Yes Ms (Naomi) Campbell, but this is the kitchen. I think you might be looking for the toilets over there"
Pointing at the wall sized huge sign on the other wall.
She actually huffed at me and flounced off to the loos.
That's great! 🤣 Judging by a number of other comments on this vid, it really sounds like she went/goes around making an entitled idiot of herself rather a lot...?
About 10 years ago, my wife and I were in Lowe's buying a riding mower. They had rolled the mower out into the main walkway, and we were over at a register paying for it. As we were standing there waiting for the guy to go get some paperwork, Scott Murray (the sports anchor guy) walks up to our mower and starts checking it out. I turned to my wife and said quietly, "Get away from that lawnmower, Scott Murray. That one's ours."
It was really odd and funny.
I met Weird Al Yankovic at a convention and my genius brain came up with "You were my birthday present!" upon meeting him (they announced he was coming to the convention on my birthday). To be fair it's probably not the weirdest thing he's ever been told, but I still want to crawl in a corner every time I remember that interaction.
What was his reaction?
@@spaceflight1019 he jut chuckled and said "well, Happy Birthday" and signed the T-shirt I brought. Later he let me get a photo with him so I guess I didn't creep him out too much...
@@kenyastarflight , that's really cool that he realizes his ability to affect others, for better or worse.
Lol, he knows fans get flustered and I'm sure he knew what you meant. Honestly, it's not the worst interaction, lol. He prolly took it to be flattering 😂
In today's world, anything anyone does will go viral. Before social media, it was all word of mouth.
That said...in August 1983 I had a less-than-pleasant exchange with actor Judd Hirsch in the restaurant at Zagreb's airport.
I was going home after a 12 hour night shift that capped off a 26 day repair mission at the nuclear power plant at Krsko.
He and his entourage had just arrived from the States, a 12 hour flight.
Both of us were tired; I was a 28 year old full of attitude. Suffice it to say that the exchange didn't go well.
But, that was 38 years ago. I remember, he probably doesn't. C'est la vie!
I’ve only met one celebrity, although not a major “star”. I used to work in the funeral business and met Elvis Presley’s friend and former bodyguard Red West at a funeral. He did a good bit of acting also. He was super nice and talked about the old days with Elvis without us having to ask a bunch of questions. He was a big dude and when I shook his hand I noticed he had hands the size of a frying pan.
"Wasn't meant to be but the memory is" hdjshsh lmaoooo Louis
It was a gorgeous thing to say and I'm disappointed in Niall!!
My sister was working at a gym in a upscale hotel, she was working out before her shift...
Candidate Barack Obama was on a treadmill next to her for over 30min with out sayings a word. She went to shower and change. Then she got locked in the locker room by Secret Service, as coworkers got there photo taken. She always says she was in all the photos pointing at the door in the background.
I met the author of Marley and me when he came to my school for a talk about his book. I was a library TA and we get 1 free book a semester for working in the library. I asked for Marley and me and then I asked him for a signing. He laughed and then turned around and started talking to the librarian. I was then later scolded for, "Going out of my way to bother someone." Really pissed me off.
"I don't want to talk to you over the whole flight"
if it would be me, I would have answered: "Why would I do that?"
pretty confident it would start a thing of him trying to tell me who he actually was. Thus, talking to ME during the whole flight, lol.
No, seriously, I have no idea who this person ist and while I will listen to everything they say, I won't be any smarter at the end of it.
My reaction would be, Oh thanks, I hate having to make small talk with strangers. What an ass.
I just say you already did
Yeah, my rough reaction would've been a genuinely confused "Uh, yeah, me neither... who the hell are you?" I'd really rather just listen to my headphones the whole flight instead of make conversation with some rando
In the late 90's early 2000's, the comic Tommy Davidson, the comic, came into the strip club I worked at and and I walked up and told him how much I enjoyed his comedy and he just gave me a total look of disgust. I just turned around and walked away. Not so much of a fan now.
I (7) went with my sister (16) to ask Harold Carmichael (Philadelphia Eagles legend) for an autograph. I said “Mr. Carmichael can I please have your autograph?” He looked at my sister and said “Teach your SON some manners”
"asking me politely for something, HOW RUDE!"
if calling someone "Mr." and saying "please" isn't manners to him then what the fuck is? Jesus.
@@brandimullins8813 Exactly!!! He sounded like he was using manners appropriately to me!
He aint no entertainer
Just think about it, everywhere you go, no matter whats going on in your life. Tragedy, Triumph, you're with your kids, you literally get almost no privacy. Everyone stares at you, and intrudes in your life without caring what you're dealing with, because they have seen you on T.V. or wherever. The people who write those stories about famous people, have literally no idea what that life is like. Say thanks for what you do I'm a fan as you walk by, don't stop for a handshake, or ask for a picture. Leave them alone.
A friend of mine saw Bill Murray and asked for his autograph. All he wrote was Happy Halloween. It was February.
That's definitely Bill Murray. He once walked up to someone eating fast food, grabbed a fry, dipped it in their shake, and ate it, then said "nobody will ever believe you." and walked away.
@@ShalmendoGlineux I heard that story before. I can see him doing that. He's a legend.

Back in the 70's I built a lectern for Truman Capote who was going to do readings from his newest book, Music for Chameleons, at Lincoln Center. I met him a couple of times for his imput, and once had to meet with him and the Lincoln Center's lighting director because this futuristic lectern was covered with brushed aluminum Formica, so reflected light was an issue. Coincidentally a camera crew from Look Magazine was following Capote for a magazine article on him. While within his hearing, I called the lectern I'd made for him, my Capotium. He stopped whatever he was saying to somebody, turned to me and said dramatically, "I am not amused," and turned back to his conversation. I did get a credit on the Playbill for his performance though. It read, "Mr. Capote's wardrobe by Halston, Lectern crafted and created by Andrew M******e.
@@jimn4870 How many books that will be remembered for hundreds, (if not thousands), of years have you written, jimn4870? Truman Capote oinked at least five.
Was washing my one ton Quadravan and the starter quit, had another starter but didn't want to lay on the wet concrete to put it in so I was trying to push it out of the stall. John Elway was washing his purple Bronco in the next stall and saw my struggle and helped me push it out to dry concrete. I shook his hand and said 'Thanks man!'. He got into his Bronco and left and then I stood there for about twelve seconds going 'wait, that was, that was' ........
I met Cloris Leachman once. She was nice to the people around her and complimented my dress.
no doubt. Cloris Leachman was a class act!
I have such mixed feelings about Margaret Atwood. On one hand, brilliant writer and I'm proud to claim her as a Canadian literary icon. On the other hand, not really my cup of tea so I don't buy her books. She tends to blow hot and cold in person -- one meet and greet, she'll be so dismissive you start wondering if you should wait politely while she turns on a hearing aid, at another, she'll be invested and witty and show this incredible dry sense of humour that reminds you why she works with words. Ultimately, though? She's visibly supportive of public libraries and I appreciate the hell out of her advocacy, so I find I can overlook her bad days and focus on her shining moments.

I used to be a dancer in a club in Missouri. Yes, THAT kind. John Goodman paid to have it to himself for a few hours. His 'guys' said all cameras off (they were security cameras), so the boss shut them off. There were about ten dancers that night. I stood back for awhile because I really just wanted to say hello to him. That's all. I got my chance, said "Hello.", and he said "Fuck off." So I just went and sat in a corner while some of the others pawed at him. He took one for a private dance, decided he liked her, and took her out of the building for 2 hours. She came back proudly displaying a check, signed by him, for 2K. I was disgusted in more ways than one.
aww...I'm gonna think about that next time I watch Monster's Inc, aren't I :(
@@abbreviatedalex2418 Nah, it was just another one of the many effed up things that happen in places like that. :)
That's... pretty devastating to read. I always had heard he was a nice guy. But I'm particularly sorry he was so rude to you 😞
@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 Thank you for your kind words. He was drunk and stressed out and wanted a girl willing to be a prostitute for him. I didn't want any parts in that crap. It wasn't the first time I was told to fuck off by someone. Maybe some day I will run into Keanu - I hear he's nice. :)
@@timberwolf5631 Word is that he is. I would be incredibly surprised if he were to act like one of my fallen faves you talked about there.
I don't actually have a problem with sex/sexually-related work of any kind (I did a night's dancing in a (dodgy) club myself, but it was an awful place and too much for me), but exotic dancers are NOT the same as "full-service" sex workers and respect from any "patron" is paramount in any case and every case. He was too well known to get away with being so awful, but also so well known he was protected from consequence - an awful paradox.
Hope your life is good now. If you run into Keanu, well, more power to you mate
I don't know who half these people are, and wouldn't know them if they walked up and bit me!
However, probably no one here would know my favorite celebrity crush who I actually got to meet, "the "Basher" himself, Nick Lowe!
Okay, maybe one 1980s Britpop fan out there knows how great he is.
I asked him, "Who are the "SPG's" that "were clearing the streets"? It's a line from one of my favorite songs of his. He was so kind, he actually told me they were a particularly corrupt police force in London, the Special Patrol Group, who enjoyed cracking the skulls of punk rockers in the late 70s into the 80s. I should have shut the hell up, but I said, "Oh! Sounds a bit like the LAPD here in California."
I still got a hug and a pic, and the look on my face is hilarious. I could have died happy right then.
I will love him until I'm dead.
That made me gasp! Huge Nick Lowe fan
Now I know why Vivian's hamster was called SPG (special patrol group) in the Young Ones in 1981. Learn something new every day.
Half a boy and half a man
The Ed Sheeran one is my favorite. lol
My great grandma said that one time she went to the beach and Mickey Rooney was there. Apparently he was being an a**hole so she slapped across the face. She sounded like such a bada**. Miss you, Nanny!
0:10 Bet that took the wind out his sails.
I once got a celebrity in my country very drunk and ended up partying with him all night,when we were leaving he ran over the hood and roof of his car and told me to do it which I did,he then vomited and I insisted he get a taxi which he did,anyways the next afternoon he was hosting a radio show and was complaining about how his expensive car was vandalised outside a nightclub,I tried to call in and let him know but couldn’t get through.
Throw back to the TV show Amen. I was living in a town outside New Orleans and had just exited the movie theater my mom and I had gone to. I look down the hallway and, standing outside the ladies restroom door is the preacher from the show. He knew I recognized him by the look on my face. The look on his was priceless when I asked "Did you enjoy the movie?" followed by "Have a nice night." He was low-key on a date and I wasn't going to ruin it.
I met the band Metallica in the early 90's after the Bay Area Music Awards show in SF. As they walked through the door into the hall, one of them yelled, 'ME-FUCKING-TALLICA!' as they walked by. They later won an award, took forever to come onstage to accept, grabbed the statuette from the presenter, flipped off the crowd and walked off. Real asses. If they didn't want or care about the award, why did they even show up.
Ps, I also met Clarence Clemmons, and Chris Isaak that night, they were both nice, funny, real people.
Some of these were straight-up painful, but honestly a lot more of them were cute or funny 😂
I was a body double for Nicola Stevenson in a Granada TV production with Robson Green, and I and the body double for him were being filmed, and I said hello to Robson Green when he walked past on set and he totally ignored me. Craig Charles in a film called Fated was rude to me, I was a body double for the lead actress, and when I was getting changed and walked out he said sneeringly "Oh look the horse is bolting the stable".
That's unfortunate, especially with Craig Charles, me and my Dad were huge Red Dwarf fans.
I kept smiling and saying "hello" whenever I met this beautiful blond lady around where I lived, and she would always give me a friendly reply. I kept twisting my brain from where I knew her. I was convinced it was from work, but I simply could not remember.
Anyways, we kept on bumping into eachother, once quite literally as she walked around the corner of my building.
We laughed and I asked what she was doing on these parts.
"Just window shopping" she said, we had a short chat before I excused myself as I had a meeting to go to.
A few days later we met again, this time at the post-office. She seemed stressed, but smiled, came over and started talking.
This went on for months, we even had a coffee once, and by now I felt it would be rude of me to ask where I remembered her from. I had even pumped her for info on where she attended highschool and Uni, but nothing. I could not recall.
Then one evening I put on the TV and straight away heard a voice that made me stop in my tracks.
There she was, the anchor-woman on the main TV-show on the largest tv-station in the country.
She had been on maternity leave for a year and was welcomed back by her collegues.
A week or so went by before I met her again, and she was holding back a smile as she walked over.
"You remembered me, but not. Right?"
"Yes" I told her and we both started laughing.
Turned out she had seen my confusion right away and knew that I was trying to place her when I asked about her background.
I have since moved from that city and not seen her for years. She's still on the news though and I'm sure we'll bump into eachother again. 😊👍
Pardon my grammar, english is not my native tongue.
@Jim N Enough to share.
This video showed me that I could walk past numerous celebrities and be completely oblivious. I've never heard of more than half of these people.
As a huge fan of Imagine Dragons, I would have been so upset if they were mean, but the whole "DAUGHTER" thing is genuinely one of my favorite things 😂
Inside Catalina Island terminal in San Pedro Calif. waiting for the boat with wife and daughter 7y/o weekday morning we see with child in stroller (guessing grand daughter) Ms. Sally Field our daughter asked permission to get autograph she gracefully goes over to her Ms. Field said to her thank you for not getting "giddy" over her.....a gracious women in my opinion and true American legend.
I was an accountant in the live entertainment industry about 20 yrs ago. I was having lunch at the venue buffet and most of 38 Special were in line next to me. It was cafeteria seating, so I grabbed a seat and, for reasons unknown, they all followed me and sat down all around me, didn't say a word, and started shoveling. A minute later Eric Burdon slides in next to me with a tray, didn't eat a bite, and talked nonstop for 20 min. I couldn't understand a word he said in his very thick accent, but he was really jolly and appeared to be having a blast, me just nodding and chuckling the whole time. Meanwhile, 38 Special was just staring at him, still quietly chewing their food. Just another day at the office.
I haven't heard of 2/3 of these people.
You have now.
I avoid celebrities anyway I am able. They are so full of themselves that I find them extremely annoying!
I doubt you can run into any of them in your moms basement honey.
@@misswendyjane4992: Where I worked the facility often was used to make movies or documentaries. I ran into a few. All were completely full of themselves.
And sinful prideful people
Hah, I once told Kurt Cobain (after repeatedly asking politely btw because he was ignoring me while playing the puggy machine) to get the f*ck out of my way coz he was blocking the corridor to the bathroom too 😂
A couple of interactions with my idols:
Met Ariel and Shawn from Icon For Hire online Ariel called us (my brother and I) rockstars. Because we stayed up until 1 am just to meet them.
I met Floor Jansen from Nightwish with my father. We were both too stunned to speak I only managed to say hi.
I met Zora from Blackbriar at a Blackbriar concert. I asked for a picture with her and got her to sign the bracelet I got at the entrance. She also held my hand twice during the concert. The song Beautiful Delirium has a special place in my heart now.
Never heard of any of these people
@@vtbrian3252 they're all from metal bands so if you're not into metal you will not know them. Icon For Hire play rock mixed with pop and sing about mental health issues. Nightwish is a symphonic metal band from Finland. Blackbriar is a gothic metal band from the Netherlands. Blackbriar is the most unknown of the three Nightwish is pretty popular.
Went to a Shinedown meet and greet before covid and Brent Smith asked me if he could have a hug! Now I'm pretty sure he asked all the woman there, but still!😍 Absolutely the nicest bunch of guys you would ever meet❤❤❤❤
Love Shinedown!
I was at a biker rally.. where we all tent camped or had RV.. etc.. they had bands playing.. headlining was Vince Neal.. his bus was behind the stage.. A good friend had his girl friend on his shoulders as we watched.. Vince pulled his girlfriend up on stage.. and after a little bit.. she was taken to the back.. she went with Vince to his Bus... she stayed the night.... My friend was crushed.. him and her had been together for years... he packed up his tent and left her crap on the ground and he left. She came out the next morning and he was gone. She had no way to get home.
I love how Taylor would check out the necklace while wearing a 2k jacket
Worked at a Vegas casino's players card booth and Louie Anderson came up to get another card. I knew who he was but couldn't find his account because I kept typing "Louis" not Louie. All the while becoming more apologetic and nervous, explaining how much my family and I liked him. He smiled and said try Louie instead and of course the account came up! I printed his card and promised him it would be lucky. He was so sweet and patient! I will never forget him! God Bless You LOUIE!!❤😢
I fully believe that Naomi Campbell would say that 🤣🤣🤣
And I'd be THRILLED...
I used to work as a line server at the chow hall on an Air Force Base and on my very first day, R. Lee Ermy showed up and asked for onion rings and I accidentally put fries on his plate. Then, he looked at me and said, "Keep it simple, son." And I thought, "He's right!" and I gave him his onion rings.
The same place, I saw Gary Sinise, but he just stuck to the salad bar, so I didn't give him any food.
"You look like a wax figure!" F'n priceless!
I met Ted Nugent backstage at a Damn Yankees concert in 1991. Ended up sitting next to him and he was signing and giving out copies of his bow hunting magazine. His youngest son Rocco was on the cover and I told him he looked like my youngest son Kevin and proceeded to show him a picture. For at least 30 minutes we talked about our kids. He was very down to earth and actually a pretty nice guy
Dan Aykroyd cut in line ahead of me (and about 100 people who were behind me) at customs in Pearson airport.
Most of those “celebrities” have no business being famous in the first place.
I went back to my hometown to visit my mom and while I was there I went to a Walmart and there in the chip aisle was mark york (Billy merchant from the office). He wheeled away and I asked my wife "isn't he the guy from the office?" She said I don't think so and while we're arguing about it he somehow got up behind me and said "can I borrow your height? Can you grab me those chips on the top shelf?" I said yes, grabbed the chips, handed them to him, and away he went. I've never met a famous person before, much less one from my favorite TV show, so I was too nervous to say anything to him. Missed opportunities..
Can't say I ever had an awkward celebrity moment. But I did have have an experience of being at a Giants Fan Fest back in 2005 and being at the stage to get Matty Alou's autograph. This woman on a scooter rudely expected everyone to get out of her way and was shoving at people. I was on the verge of a panic attack from being crushed against the stage and he got people to back up so I could get out.
My husband accidentally met Mark Chestnut (a country music artist from the 90s) at a shindig in Texas. He and his bodyguard were blocking the exit of the gentleman's restroom. My husband politely asked them to let him out and they just glared at him and went back to scream chatting bc it was super loud in the club. This happened 2x more and then my husband just pushed past them and both men tried to fight him. Both towered over him at least 6". My husband didn't back down and was ready to take a beat down. My husband figured since they didn't act on the macho act that the rumors stirring that M.C. was a wife beater had to be true. Now, we all live in the same town. Lol! He's still a dick and my daughter thinks his name Mike Peanut 🤣
Have had several celebrity encounters
As Extra on movie set: Jane Eastwood was most awesome person ever
Met Rodger daltry - the who
Arlo Guthrie
Janie Lane
Stuart Townsend
several cast of police academy
and can say not only were most polite & gracious but that they were congenial & friendly
These stories make me realize how creepy some fans can seem to the celebrities 😬 that person asking Demi Lovato for a hug just about killed me inside (because let’s be honest, we ourselves would never hug a stranger so why are we asking that from celebrities who have no idea who we are.) I’ve never seen a celebrity in public (probs because I only know a few by name lmao) but I know I wouldn’t even approach them.
@Jim N That is also a good take away from stories like this lmao
The imagine dragons one 🤣
IKR! this makes me love them even more lmfaoooo
Did I meet Daniel Logan at the Comic Con? Yes
Did I ask him a question about the clone wars? Yes
Did I wear my new crown-circlet in my elfstyle braided hair? Yes
Did I blush as red as a tomate when he finished with "nice hair"? Also yes
I went with a friend to a Rush concert. He had backstage passes he won on a local radio station to meet and greet with the band, minus Pert, after the show. The show was awful. They lined us up afterwards backstage and Geddy came down the line first. He signed autos for everyone in line before me. When he got to me he noticed I had nothing for him to sign. He asked if I wanted an auto and I said no. He seemed offended by this and got all butthurt. Based on the butthurt Geddy displayed, when the guitarist Alex Lifeson(sp) came up to me next I dug through my wallet to find a piece of paper he could sign, pretty much right in front of Geddy. Good for me that looks do notkill...
Won a back stage pass to Eddie Money. He was so intoxicated he didn't realize his pants were unzipped and his tighty whiteys were showing. People were yelling your zippers down! He was slapping hands of people that way. Someone backstage must have caught his attention as he went off and came back with them zipped 🙂
If some celebrity sits right next to me and immediately goes "I'm not signing anything" or something like that, the only response they'd get would be "who the f*** are you?"
I had dinner sitting back to back with Talia Shire who was sitting at the next table. I didn't bother her. She didn't bother me.
3:20 Paris Hilton and the pasties. What are pasties? In my world they are a foodstuff and I'm just wondering where in the world you can buy food, taste it and return it because you're too fussy to eat it? Does that happen somewhere?
I could be wrong, but i think it's about those stickers that avoid womens nipples shining through transparent/semi transparent clothing without a bra.
(Or avoid them "pointing through")
And, no, i can't imagine being able to get the money back for food i already tasted.
@@nirfz hilarious! 🤣 have i just made a fool of myself on an international forum! I never heard of them before. 👏
@@elaineforan4751 No, not really. Just an innocent approach. ;-)
Ummm... Wouldn't it be pastries, not pasties?
@@MissMausoleum pasties are a type of pie.
Was at the Orleans Casino in Vegas and some weird guy sat down at the roulette table next to us wearing a giant clock necklace. We had no idea who he was.....until we got back home to learn he is a famous rapper.
I know of a man who got a 1st class seat on a plane and immediately went to sleep. Woke up on descent to find he was sitting next to Eva Longoria m
A looonnngggg time ago, my friend begged me to go with our friends to see a country band at a bar. I didn’t want to go because I hate country music, but went anyway. Sat in the back, bored as hell lol. After the concert my friends met the band, took pics, while I stood back. Thought the drummer was cute, but the lead singer wasn’t. Fast forward years later, lead singer is now famous & I don’t realize until I see an old pic of him with his mullet that it was Blake Shelton that we saw that night . So now my claim to fame is telling people I was like 2 feet away from Blake Shelton 🤣.
Celebrities in other social media platforms: Meeting fans is so nice!
Celebrities in real life: well im dead
I told the noisy tv-series-actors on my doorstep to go away, they had been loudly filming their shit for days now. Someone said; "Oh..we need to leave?Okay, no problem..'
As soon as they got up to leave, I saw it was my favorite actress. I ran upstairs, called my mom in a panic, grabbed pen and paper, ran back down and everyone was gone.
I did get another chance to apologize, she said she understood and that I wasn't the first to complain about the noise. And that she liked my coat. And I got an autograph.
I spent a year sitting behind the junior European snowboarding champion in French class (can't remember his name 20+ years ago) we were both fluent so played pranks good times
Sugar Ray Leonard was savagely direct @ 5:22
At my state’s horror con, I got to meet Linda Blair. She was only taking cash ($40) and the people at her booth didn’t say anything about this. I actually find this out because of other people in the line. So I get out of line, I was at the tail end anyway, and go outside and then downstairs into a casino to find the only ATM in the entire back end of the building. I get the $40 and go upstairs to find out I’m locked out. I only got back in because an employee took pity on me. I get back to her booth’s line and when I get up to her, all she did was look at me for literally two seconds, take my photo, sign it, and give it back. She didn’t say a single word to me and actually seemed annoyed and like I was taking up her time. In total I saw her for maybe 10-15 seconds. But the person in front of me got a totally different story. She even shook their hands and waved when they left!
She owns a safe haven for animals and it was clear as day she only went to this event to talk about it. I seriously spent more time talking to the lady at her booth about animals being spayed/neutered and about dog food that’s not some cheap, crap food than I did doing anything with Linda Blair. The same, weird lady gave me like five random pamphlets and something about dog food, too.
