Years ago, I won a trip to the movie premiere of Battleship in LA. My wife and I went, and were waiting in the entrance of the giant movie theater, because the celebrities had to enter after going through the red carpet/media area. My wife was able to take her picture with some of the cast of True Blood, and was swooning after meeting some of those people. My wife also had her picture taken with Malin Akerman who is a complete babe, but I was excited about the opportunity to meet high-caliber actor Liam Neeson since he was in Battleship, and I think he's pretty cool, especially when he growls about having a special set of skills in Taken. So Liam Neeson was doing the red carpet, and we waited inside the theater entrance where he'd have to come in, and eventually we saw him approaching, but then he went through another VIP entrance, that we were unaware of, because he was too important or something. Bragging rights for life. We were less than 10 feet away from him!

I pestered David Warner for about 30 seconds. I regret doing that to you, Mr. Warner.

I saw Ryan Gosling at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. 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 met Lou Ferigno at a con ages ago, he's a huge dick. It was mostly how he treated my friend that was excited to see him, the wanting something ridiculous like $30+ for a autograph too. Wouldn't even talk to you unless you bought one either. It was pretty much pay money or I just look at you like a rear end in a top hat. Nobody was even in line to see him either. (This was before he had even did the voice in that horrible Ang Lee Hulk movie even.) Doug Stanehope is a pretty nice dude though as long as you don't tell him stupid long pointless stories like that one guy outside did that day. (Somebody needed to shut the guy up, might has well been Doug) AbbadonOfHell fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Nov 20, 2015 |

Rob van damme was driving me back to the condo from set. He was vaping thc the entire time and swerving all over the place. He stopped at a cvs to pick up a prescription and popped like six of them as soon as he got in the car and washed it down with a 40 he bought from the gas station. Going over a bridge, he twice bumped into the loving concrete barriers that kept us from loving crashing into the ocean, every time going "oh man that was close." Me and this actress were like "whelp this is it this is how we die. In a rental car driven off a bridge by rob van damme."

Garrett hedlund will not talk to a single person on set and smokes a pack and a half a day and dips. The Asian kid who lost a finger in the second hangover movie is cool as gently caress. His dad is ang Lee and he just kinda coasts through life. Can't get laid to save his life. Like this movie was stacked with hot 22 year olds and he couldn't seal the deal at all.

Sometimes I'll get a short gig working as a movie extra (if anything is filming in town). Last time I had to do a camera cross and farted close to Alan Arkin's head. I'd feel bad about it but the cast and crew tends to treat us extras like poo poo.

I've had a lot of weird celebrity encounters given that I lived in a small town in BC, Canada - but we are the closest centre to where a lot of films are made because our landscape looks like all different parts of the world, in one concentrated area. (Desert, wetlands, mountains, forests, etc.) I heard that Morgan Freeman and JLo are giant assholes from some people working on the set. And that JLo would get super pissed off if anyone made eye contact with her. As far as my own encounters, the worst would have to be when I was about 17, going backstage after the concert to hang out with some of the members of Billy Talent, Metric, and DeathfromAbove1979. I don't know what the deal was, but they started whipping my friend and I with towels so hard that we got welts immediately and I was walking away begging them to stop. They then dumped an entire yogurt on my friends head, and after I washed her off I told them to gently caress off and we left. I don't know what their endgame was but I'm assuming that they maybe thought they would get some rear end from two teenage girls by assaulting them? The only other really weird one I can think of is hearing that Sam Neil was in town making a movie and at a local bar, so a bunch of us went down to try and meet him - as we approached the bar he was walking out with his entourage. I remember thinking that he was dressed about 10 years too young for his actual age. When he ignored us saying hello, my friend slowly walked behind him down the block loudly asking questions about dinosaurs. I felt bad for Sam Neil.

Not really fitting but in the late 90's early 00's I went to a lot of little shows in the NYC and on three separate occasions Moby and his entourage ended up standing right in front of me, which was kinda annoying. By the third time I think he might have recognized me. Oh and once Michael Stipe saw me fall off a chair once.

Rob van dam the wrestler or jean Claude van Damme the actor, cause this sounds closer to the first one but I can't imagine him acting on a set

FizFashizzle posted:Lol you got owned by dfa consider yourself blessed If by owned, you mean assaulted for no reason, yea - sure. The only reason I even went backstage and stuck around was because my friend was drunk and I wanted to make sure she was safe. Usually, I can laugh things off as being ridiculous and not a big deal, but it was an incredibly predatory-feeling situation and even thinking about it now pisses me off.

He would tell stories about Jean Claude though. Apparently everyone in Hollywood has a story about kicking his rear end. Like he just goes into places, picks a fight, and gets his poo poo handed to him.
