“Unforgettable Moments: The Jaw-Dropping Celebrity Encounters That Left Fans Speechless!”
TLDR
I casually worked for a band that had Fiona Apple sit in. When I was introduced to Fiona I didn’t realize who she was. Even though I’m a huge fan, I didn’t expect to meet her – especially this night or ever. Turns out she was doing a surprise guest appearance and it was a secret. Later I learned that I had met Fiona Apple.
I was at an a garbage anime convention. I say s****y, that’s not the con’s fault, I just don’t like cons anymore. Anyway, I was walking down this big a*s atrium the place had when I get f*****g steam rolled by a guy. He says “Sorry, I’m so sorry” but he’s f*****g booking it. Voice was slightly familiarish but I didn’t recognize it.
A dude in full Naruto gear books up and was like “DID YOU KNOW WHO YOU RAN INTO?!”
“Nope!”
“That was [Vic Mignogna] a voice actor famous for Edward Elric of Full Metal Alchemist, amongst others. The dude booked after him and I realized why he was running so fast he didn’t see me.
Buddy of mine went to england, was at a pub and sitting next to a total stranger. They got talking and eventually the guy tells my friend he actually has been in a couple of episodes of game of thrones. My friend hadnt seen it at the time and then the 2 of them went around town, hitting different places and generally hanging out. They eventually parted ways, and when he came back to the states, we tried to figure out who he was. We had a picture of him with my friend, and we were lineing the faces up because my friend forgot his name. Eventually figured it out. It was the man without a name. The assassin dude.
The rock was at my school filming something once. This was back before he was bald and humongous. I didn’t know it was him but everyone was saying how the “pebble” was here at the school. Apparently he wasn’t as big as everyone imagined.
I saw the Ball brothers play in high school. Guy sitting right behind me was Lavar Ball and I thought he was just some annoying fan. He was very loud the whole game right then he was telling the coach what to do so I went home and looked him up and saw he is the father.
The first time I met Danny Glover, I didn’t know it was him. My uncle owns a gas station that I use to work at, and any time Mr. Glover was on town, he would come in (he later told my mom that ours was the only station he would come to when he was in town). That first time, he was in a hurry and accidentally bumped into my mom. He said his apologies and went off to pump his gas that he prepaid. My cousin, who was working at the time, was the one who told us who it was.
I ran into Mark Chestnut (formerly big country singer) at a Sportsman’s and had a good 30-40 minute conversation with him without realizing who he was till one of the cashiers brought it up. Seems like a cool story in hindsight.
I got in an elevator with a guy at San Diego Comic Con. No idea who he was. The door opened on a floor and some guy obviously knows who he was.
“Oh wow man! I love your work!”
