Was behind Orlando Jones in the check out line at Whole Foods. (He was living locally at the time because they were filming Sleepy Hollow.) It was right around Thanksgiving and he'd been going around the store pretending to be talking on his cell phone so he wouldn't be approached by fans. Turns out he and I had the same Kite Hill Cream Cheese in our baskets. I held up a tub and said "this stuff is amazing." He replied with "I know, right!" As he walked away I said "Have a good Thanksgiving Mr. Jones." He smiled and said "You too."

Someone should start a thread where celebrities share their silliest fan stories.

Was next to Nicholas Lyndhurst in my local Tesco. He pulled his hat lower and his scarf higher, so I just gave a little nod and continued shopping. Posted this as I have not heard of most of the celebs in this list

Had a chance to greet Peter Dinklage on the street, but his real name escaped me and I didn't want to call him Tyrion ... said hi to Paul Giamatti while walking casually down 5th Ave. ... he just said "hey" and kept walking ... sat next to Alicia Keys just before she had to perform at the Chicago Planetarium for an event the day before she was to appear on Oprah ... chatted in an elevator with Harold Perrineau about the function of an ergonomic keyboard ... saw Ozzie Davis walk out of a building on 57th St. casually and walk in the opposite direction from me ... heard this guy bragging behind me loudly walking up Broadway ... when I turn, it's Savion Glover ... shook his hand and said "hey, Savion" ... nice guy ... missed opportunity as the soundtrack for "Bring in the Noise, Bring in the Funk" had come out that very day ... saw him perform at NJPAC months later ... saw Sean Combs walk into Virgin movie theater in Times Square with his entourage shortly after the Steve Stoute incident

I wonder if the good-natured famous people don't like it when people actually don't know who they are sometimes (by face or name). I went to a SF convention once, and the elevator rides were an adventure in themselves. In one ride, there was a skinny older fellow in a tophat who was being just hilarious. Everyone was quietly laughing and not looking at him, but I was staring and laughing, really laughing, so he was looking back at me. Found out later he was some famous guy from Babylon Five. (My niece told me. She was madly in love.) Kept running into him, and couldn't see him as some famous guy because I'd never seen the show, so I just chatted with him naturally. He seemed to appreciate. I can't begin to tell you how naturally funny that guy was. Still don't know his name.

I was at an airport in Venice once and the line for the ladies bathroom was insanely long, so my mom and I just went to the mens bathroom since there was no one there. On our way out, we saw Jason Segel and my mom gloated about taking over the bathroom...🤦‍♀️ Good one, mom.
