“Unforgettable Moments: The Jaw-Dropping Celebrity Encounters That Left Fans Speechless!”
Months later, at a pizza place in the same plaza, I unknowingly sat next to Alanis Morrissette. Once again, my wife realized the celebrity sighting, and I quickly confirmed it by googling a picture of her arm tattoo. We never spoke, she was enjoying a family member’s birthday.
Well, I didn’t actually “meet” the guy, but I rode in an elevator together with Barack Obama without realizing who he was… 😛
Back in 2007, my husband (who was my fiancé at the time) & I were b-school students at The University of Chicago. We lived in the Regents Park apartments, where many of the grad students lived.
One day we decided to head out and got into the elevator to travel down to the lobby. The elevator stopped at another floor, and a tall black man dressed in a nice suit stepped in flanked by 2 other large black men also dressed in nice suits. The tall man looked at me & my fiancé, nodded his head in greeting, and then the 3 men turned around to face the elevator door.
All the while as the 5 of us rode down together, I was chatting animatedly at my fiancé about I-can’t-remember-what, and I kept up my chatterbox flow the entire way down.
When we followed the 3 men out of the apartment building, a large, black Escalade SUV sat waiting curbside and the 3 men climbed into the car. I went bug-eyed as I stared at the huge vehicle and turned to look at my fiancé.
“That was Obama,” he said to me calmly.
“Wait, what?!?!!” I shrieked. “You mean to tell me that we just rode the elevator together with Obama, and I didn’t even realize who he was the entire time?!”
“Yep!” he smirked at me.
Well, now. Don’t I feel like an idiot…! 🙂 At any rate, I can now tell you what the back of President Obama’s head (and his ears) looks like up close! Lol!!!
There was filipina actor known for her teen romance films, she was eating pizza with her younger brothers and people were just taking a picture of her then leaving.
I thought the pizza must be pretty good for them to take pictures.
At SDCC in the mid-aughts, I mistook Lou Ferrigno for one of the vendors at Mile High Comics’ booth in the exhibit hall… He shot me a death stare when I asked him how much a comic cost. I was a freshman in high school at the time, I think.
Idk if this counts but my family has known Frankie Edgar the UFC fighter since he was born lol
Side note Kevin O’Leary from Shark Tank was on my flight from Ft Lauderdale to Newark a couple days ago.
I photobombed Ninja Brian of the Game Grumps once, not knowing it was him until it came back around on Twitter.
Not me but somebody I know once spent an evening in a pub watching football and chatting with this guy. When the guy left he bought them a bottle of champagne. The barman came over handed them the bottle and said this is from Sean Bean. They didnt realise it was him the whole night, but said he was really down to earth.
I met Billy Idol’s drummer. We spent some time together. It was a crazy night.
Ron Jaworski came into my work and bought his wife a purse. I had no idea who he was until my co-worker told me after he left.
Twice: Richard Marx came to visit me in the hospital when I was 6. (I dont even remember this)
I met a center for the Tampa Bay Lightning and we talked hockey for several minutes, then he excused himself, came back with a bunch of hats, and introduced himself to my team. I felt really dumb.
Helped Pat Mcafee when he was buying concessions at my MovieTheater. Wasn’t until he walked away and everyone around me was freaking out that I was like what? And they told me, and I was like oh cool.
I don’t know that he was particular famous. He played for the Rams (a few years back) but lived out here. I met him at the gym. We went out and he was a sleazebag.
