Huey Lewis. Chatted with him for two minutes in front of a restaurant. He came out to get some air and I was out there on a smoke break. Just told him I was a fan and thanked him for his music. He was super nice.

Walter Mathau, Jody Foster, Henry Winkler, Kris Kristofferson, Jack, Klugman, Rob, Reiner, Penny, Marshall, and many many more… My godfather was a big wig at Paramont pictures back in the day.

I was in front of Travis Kelce in the grocery store 5 years ago.
If you watched Game of Thrones...the Kelce is the human equivalent of The Wall.
He is massive...smells amazing...and because i was in a late night tampon emergency run...our conversation was pleasant...yet brief because tampons and a bottle of wine aren't conversation starters you wanna work with.
Before Taylor...he lived in the neighborhood so you would see him in restaurants or the store, etc - ALWAYS made time to sign stuff or pose for a pic.
(Rumor has it he paid everyone's HOA membership for a year after he moved out because of how disrupting the traffic through the neighborhood became after Taylor. My cousins, who were his next door neighbors, said they could not confirm or deny...then winked.).

BB King.
Met him after a concert, he was thanking every one on the stage after the show. As I went to get a look at Lucille, I ended right in front of him.
I told him that I enjoyed the show and he responded "Thanks son, I'm glad you liked it" as he shook my hand. He gave me some solid grandpa vibe at the moment.

Paul McCartney. Bumped into him outside an art gallery in London. Had a nice chat and gave me an autograph. Really nice, friendly, down to earth bloke. He was on his own and happy to talk to me for a bit.

James Gandolfini, Scarlett Johansson, Hugh Grant, Christina Ricci, Natasha Bedingfield, Sia. For context I live in nyc and worked in fashion. Also had friends who were in showbiz as a kid. NYC public school is like that sometimes 🤷🏻♀️.

Steven Tyler & Joe Perry of Aerosmith, when I was 16. They stopped by my parents’ shop, bought some stuff, let me take pictures, and gave the whole family 6th row tix and backstage passes to their show that weekend.

Met Penn and Teller. I was an extra in one of their video specials about 20 years ago. Went scuba diving with Teller as a part of that.
Met the author Douglas Adam's at a book signing.
Don't know his name but met some English footballer. My British coworkers were going absolutely mental just seeing him. I had (and still have) no clue who he was.
Iggy Pop lived down the road from me. Occasionally ran into him l.
