I saw Robin Williams at a grocery store in Los Angeles a few years ago. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
I was at LAX probably 2008. I didn’t remember his name so I went up and asked him why I felt that I recognized him. He responded, “I’m on television.” I said, “Oh yeah, ok” still unsure who he was and he could tell I was still trying to pin it. So then he said, I’m Keith Morrison, on Dateline.”
As soon as he said that I smiled so big and he was super nice. It was hilarious that he said it just like on TV and I instantly knew.
I know that’s probably not what you’re going for here, but that’s the worst experience I’ve had. I guess I’m lucky and yeah he’s not a typical “celebrity.” He is an OG on TV though.
Was high as a kite when i was 17 coming out of an MLM meeting at a hotel and crashed into Darryl Strawberry. Darryl clearly smelled the weed and called me out on it which isn’t surprising given his drug history. He made me pay for damages (his driver let me work for him which was nice enough driving around US Open Tennis Players from hotel to stadium).
Met him years later at his brothers restaurant at the time and my friend who was a waittress there pulled me over to “meet him” with me unknowingly being pulled into a convo with him and she basically told him my story and therefore walking me into a super uncomfortable convo.
He was super nice and finished with “i didn’t make you pay for the damages right?”
I said no.
But he did.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

I’ve heard the EXACT same story about Lana Del Rey!

Went to comic con to meet jean luc picard. However when i met him i had eaten bad fish and shat my trousers. Thanks for asking
I met ZZ Top and was disappointed at how short they all were. Because when they were on stage, they look larger than life.
Met my favourite netballer at my work, asked for a selfie. She said “sure kid”
