50 People On ‘The Time I Met A Celeb And They Acted Like A Total Weirdo’
I worked at Blockbuster video a few years ago, and I got to tell Al Gore that he owed us 1.50 because he returned "I Love You Man" late.
1.
I just went through the LAX security line with Marilyn Manson. He had “FUCK” scrawled in large letters across the bottom half of his face, with what appeared to be a grease pencil. As we each removed our boots in the security line, he kindly explained that it was not directed at me or anyone else in the airport, but rather at the paparazzi, so that they couldn’t sell any photos of him that they took. He was really apologetic about it, and covered his mouth around young children while apologizing to their parents for exposing their child to profanity.

A buddy of mine was having a smoke outside a bar near Detroit, when Bruce Campbell strolls by. It’s a little after 1 am and he’s wearing ray ban shades. One of his friends sheepishly asks “Excuse me, are you Bruce Campbell?”. Bruce stops, tips his sunglasses, and responds with “Well, someone’s gotta be”.

When I was about 10 I was in Chef Mickey’s at Disney world, I had about 20 strips of bacon on my plate when a voice from behind me say “easy on the bacon young man” and there was Arnold Schwarzenegger. I told him he was the terminator and he laughed and signed my arm.
5.
Lou Diamond Phillips tried to buy weed from me at a pool hall. One of the few times I regretted not being a drug dealer.
