50 Times Celebrities Were So Wholesome, They Made Someone's Day Tom Hanks at Best Buy. He was in line in front of me with a cart full, all by himself. I was only buying a bottle of water because they didn’t have what I was looking for. I just blurted out” Forest Gump is my favorite movie” like a creep, and he turned around, and said “that was my favorite movie to make! I’m glad you love it.” He then chatted with me while about movies as we stood in line. When it was his turn to check out while they were ringing up his stuff he said “oh let me get that water for you” and paid for my water. He kept talking to me and then we walked out and he said “nice talking to you! You’re a very nice young lady and always remember... life is like a box of chocolates.. you never know what your gonna get” in his Forest Gump voice. IT WAS THE BEST THING EVER.

50 Times Celebrities Were So Wholesome, They Made Someone's Day Went to dinner at Buca di Beppo and at the table next to us was Alice Cooper with family and friends. We made a point of not staring or interrupting, but when they left right after we did, we decided to ask for a photo in the parking lot. I said, "I hope it's not a huge intrusion," to which he replied, "Fans are never an intrusion. People like you have made it possible for me to live my dream, and I'm glad to give back any way I can." Damn if that didn't make a lasting impression on me!

50 Times Celebrities Were So Wholesome, They Made Someone's Day Jack Black. We passed him walking down a street in LA. My daughter says "I swear that's Jack Black!" We doubted her so she yells (he's about 10 yards away) "hey are you Jack Black?" He stops, turns around and says "I am." Then he walked back up to our group, took a picture with my kids, chatted with my husband about Judas Priest (my hubby was wearing their latest tour shirt) and signed autographs. I was with a group of six tweens/teens and he engaged everyone of them in a conversation. So very cool.

50 Times Celebrities Were So Wholesome, They Made Someone's Day Tony Hawk, late 90's. He came to our local skatepark for a demo but it was a tiny little indoor park and he couldn't do much. After skating for a bit to appease the crowd, he snuck out the back across the parking lot to the bowling alley. Me and two friends followed him, he invited us to bowl with him, bought us chicken tenders and french fries and talked about skateboarding with us for over an hour. Honestly one of the coolest guys I've ever met, fast forward 20 years later and I get to meet him again at our local skatepark unveiling that his foundation helped pay for and man, he was just as cool. We chatted a bit at the water fountain, I mentioned that as a kid he treated us to chicken tenders and french fries at the bowling alley when I was just a kid, and wouldn't you know it he was like oh in Amity Ct? Wasn't the skatepark called B17? I was simply floored. He went on to explain he was having a rough day that day and just hanging with three little kids bowling and talking skateboarding made him realize just how great life was.

Thank you for everything you have ever done for skateboarding Tony!

50 Times Celebrities Were So Wholesome, They Made Someone's Day I met Leslie Nielsen when I was around 12, on a film set some family members worked on. He had, unknown to everyone at the time, a little fart-noise machine in his pocket. Not some stupid little one, but a full on, several different 'types' and durations, pro fart-noise machine. When me and my 4 siblings were around him and a bunch of other adults, he would periodically let the thing ripp mid conversation, and then stay perfectly calm, not leading on. Only then to give little eyebrow raises and other funny faces to us kids as no one else was looking, putting us in on the joke but leaving the adults all confused/embarrassed.

This went on the entire day we were on set, and I could barely keep from peeing myself.

TL;DR, Leslie Neilsen, is the coolest adult ever. Rest in peace good Sir!

I'm a huge fan boy and so I did that awkward "Hey aren't you Paul Walker?" thing and he just laughed and said "Yeah bro, what's up?" We talked for about fifteen minutes, just shooting the s**t about cars, surfing, he asked about my skateboard etc. It started as a starstruck encounter but by the time we said goodbyes it was just like talking to a good friend and i'll always appreciate that. I'm not ashamed to say as a dude I cried when I heard about his death and again when watching Furious 7.

50 Times Celebrities Were So Wholesome, They Made Someone's Day When I was 4 or 5, my family and I were coming back from a vacation, and my dad and I had the aisle and middle seats, respectively, in one of those areas with three seats. We stayed on the plane during a layover, and dad took a nap. He woke up to hear me talking, at first didn't think anything of it because I had a lot of "imaginary friends" at the time. He looked over and I was sitting on the lap of our seat-mate who had the window seat now, who had gotten on during the layover, talking to him and pointing out the window. Dad had to do a double take to make sure he wasn't still asleep and dreaming, because it was Jerry Garcia, his favourite musician then (and still is). All I really remember is he looked like Santa and was hella nice.

50 Times Celebrities Were So Wholesome, They Made Someone's Day 25 years ago I drove a cab while in college. Picked up Paul McCartney. It was near my mother's birthday and I called her and he sung her happy birthday.

Edit: He got in the cab and asked to be taken to the stadium. (he was doing a show there that night) I'm looking at him going I know this guy (I was 23 at the time, never expected a celeb in my cab in Cincinnati). When I realized who he was, I asked to be sure, and he laughed. I mentioned my mom was a huge fan and asked him if he would do it. He asked which birthday song I wanted him to sing his or the other one. I chose the other one.

I had a Bag phone in the car, I think it might have cost me a small fortune for that call but totally worth it. If only I had had a modern phone for the camera.

I’ve heard Tom Hanks does jury duty too. Nice to hear but I bet it gets difficult for them outside the courtroom, as well as for the judge and lawyers, as their presence could take attention away from the case being presented. Still, I like it when celebrities try to blend in and go about normal life. I used to live in LA (SGV), so leave them alone and try not to stare. If the occasion arose for normal small talk (as I would do with anyone), fine. Otherwise, it’s only fair to let them be, the same way I want to be left alone to go about my business.

50 Times Celebrities Were So Wholesome, They Made Someone's Day Adam Sandler was filming a movie by my high school a few years ago. Word got around, and a huge crowd waited around with hopes to meet him and that Napoleon Dynamite guy. They finished wrapping and Napoleon Dynamite guy jumps into a van and gets rushed away without even looking at any of the hundreds of kids waiting to meet him. Adam Sandler walks over to his trailer and waves and walks in leaving everyone who had been waiting around saddened. His assistant announced to everyone that it was a long day and he needed a few minutes and then would be out for autographs and pictures. He came out about 10 minutes later and met EVERYONE there including me. It was so awesome since I grew up loving him. Funny to see a new comer act like a d**k and not meet anyone and a seasoned actor come and meet everyone.

He came to visit the new enlisted rec center they built for us back in the mid 00’s to do a meet and greet. While he was only booked to be there from 1400 to 1600, when we told him that most of the SUBSCOL students didn’t get out class until then he said he’d be more than willing to stay later. He hung out with all the guys who came to see him shooting pool, playing darts and Xbox, and pretty much signing everything and taking a ton of pictures. The dude is just a straight up class act.

(Usually events going on in that area don't care if you take food since they are trying to attract people.) so I'm walking out past the tables and it was like bam.

Clooney there at the table casually chatting and I'm like "holy s**t, George clooney!"

And he was like "holy s**t, that's me!"
shook my hand. Chatted for a bit, then he waves over security to escort me out lol. Made sure they just escorted me out , Totally classy the whole time. I think the backpack gave it away that I was not supposed to be there, just glad I wasn't charged with anything.

After a little self debate I decided it couldn't hurt to just walk in there right? So I went up to the room and just walked right in. Everyone immediately looked at me and after a short pause Nick goes "What's up?" and I respond with something like "Hey I don't go here but I'm a big fan and I wanted to see your show but It's sold out" so he responds by saying "Really!? Wow" he then turns to one of the kids who set it up and asks "Is it cool if he just stands on the side of the stage or something?" This kid then responds back with, and I'm not joking "If that's your wish" and then Nick said to me "Yeah as long as you don't scream and try and stab me or something it's cool" I didn't end up standing on stage but I did get in for free.

TL;DR Met Nick Swardson, asked to see his sold out show, he let me in for free.

50 Times Celebrities Were So Wholesome, They Made Someone's Day Bruce Springsteen.
Was randomly swimming in the ocean on the Jersey Shore when I was about 8, he was swimming right next to me. I recognized him afterwards because my mom was obsessed with him when growing up.
We had a small chat:
Bruce: "Nice waves, huh?"
Me: "Huh? Oh yea."
Bruce: "I like your bathing suit."
Me: "Thanks."

I got out of the water, because I thought he was just some creepy dude. My mom asked me when I got out "Do you know who that was??" and I put it all together.

50 Times Celebrities Were So Wholesome, They Made Someone's Day I work at a bookstore and Mick Foley was doing an author signing that our sub par events manager neglected to advertise. I was just sitting in the back eating lunch when he walked in. I didn't watch wrestling but even I knew who he was

He asked for gum, I had none. I said that my (then) boyfriend loved watching his matches back in the day. He responded "I guess he liked watching me lose then" in a joking way. We made small talk before he went to sign.

Seriously the nicest author I ever delt with. So many have inflated egos but this big burly former wrestler was the literal nicest and most normal of all. That encounter was one of the reasons I'm so into wrestling today.

I used to help around at conventions so I've met a few celebrities in the comic book/ sci- fi world.

I've met:

Rutger Hauer. (Roy Batty in Bladerunner.) He was a super chill dude. I remember escorting him from his hummer into the building. He wore slip on vans with cherries on them. I basically hung out with him the whole day.

Ray Park. (Darth Maul in Star Wars) Another awesome guy, I basically just fetched him water and spent some time talking about movies and whatnot. I ran into him again a few years later and he mentioned that he remembered me, which was cool.

Laurie Holden (Andrea in The Walking Dead) She was amazingly sweet. This was just before her character left the show and a lot of what she said indicated she was frustrated and saddened by her departure. I felt really bad for her and it now bothers me whenever people s**t talk her character because Ms. Holden was really looking forward to her character improving and it never happened.

Danai Gurira (Michonne in The Walking Dead) I met her at a convention, My interaction with her was brief, mostly because she was pretty irritated and seemed very cold and distant. I kinda just decided to leave her alone.

Brent Spriner (Data in Star Trek) Another amazingly kind guy, he told me a bunch of neat stories about his time on set and other gigs he's done.

Ray Harryhausen (You all know who he is.) I don't really remember a lot of my interaction with him as I was pretty young when it happened and it's been years. He was really nice, though.

Edward Furlong (John Connor in T2) The dude was a d**k. That's all I have to say on this.

Daniel Logan (Young Boba Fett in Star Wars) Really cool guy, very grateful for having been part of the Star Wars universe.

If I remember any more I'll update.

He genuinely was interested in talking and definitely appreciated the fact that I didn't make note of his stardom and simply served him as if he was a regular Joe.

Dan Abnett at Games Day 2010. I was standing in a huge line with a friend to see the first trailer for the Ultramarine animated movie (which was sadly terrible when it released), and he must have noticed many of us agonising over the long wait at the tail end of the event. He came over to us without us even noticing it was him immediately, and sparked up a conversation and gave us an autograph. Genuinely nice guy, who then proceeded to walk further down the line handing out signatures.

We were drunk and stopped into a bodega for candy, and I very obnoxiously said to this man "do you know you look exactly like Rene Auberjonois!" (sp?)

But he was super nice even though he was obviously laughing at me, and he said "no, look," and he showed me his driver's license. I was too tipsy to be embarrassed so it's just a really nice memory for me.

My mother worked at a bar called The Elbow Room in Seattle one night when Kiefer Sutherland came in. It was the time when he was filming The Vanishing in Seattle/North Bend. Now the Elbow Room is a dive bar on the south side of Seattle where most of the poorer neighborhoods are. He was gracious to everyone there and bought multiple rounds of drinks for everyone. The locals treated him like family, never asked for pictures or autographs...just wanted him to have fun like everyone else.

I've met a good number of celebrities, most just want to be treated like normal ppl, have only ever had 2 bad interactions. Lewis Hamilton - what pos (imo) treats the little guy like an ant to be walked over (I used to be a huge fan before this) Next was good and bad (around 2015) children charity event Johnny Depp and AH, JD interacting with kids on the floor laughing and rolling around joking and being a legend with everyone, AH off to one side with security, one of the organisers at some point even politely said to her she was welcome to leave as it was clear she wasn't enjoying it, she scoffed and said something rude, the organiser still said in all her years of these kind of events that was a first that she was spoken to like that. There are many others most great (above comment) some just where it was clear said celeb was having an off day, but today those two stand out most.

The Phoenix was a cool Florida style tiki hotel on the edge of the tenderloin I used to frequent when I went to MacWorld. They had a breakfast coffee table setup every morning, I wandered down one morning into a dense classic SF fog and literally bumped into him, we got into a great music convo and talked the front desk into getting us a pitcher of bloody Mary's and sat poolside and chatted over bagels and bloodies. I missed my first meeting that day and did not care a bit.

I couldn't get up because two of the girls stepped on my neck and I could't breath, Harry pointed at me and said "lads I think that lady needs help getting up, she l9oks pretty bruised and I can tell someone stepped on her neck", they all made their way over and helped me stand up but I fell to my knees so Harry Zayn and Niall walked me towards a chair while Liam and Louis got the chair ready for me. I told them what happened and they were glad I was ok, suddenly my mum ran to me and hugged me tightly because she was glad I was ok. Harry and Zayn let me touch their hair, and all if them hugged me. Then I started fainting due to the bruise on my neck from the high heels she girl was wearing, I woke up 2 hours later at the hospital with mum and the guys surrounding me all happy I was alive. Then they left, after a hug goodbye
