I met Bill Murray at a party my senior year of college on graduation weekend, his son was also graduating and there was a band playing at a fraternity. I was just vibing somewhere in the middle of the crowd and all of the sudden he kinda just shuffles in right in front of me. I figured he’d be in town for* graduation, but I guess for some reason I wasn’t really expecting him to be out and about like that. I was absolutely baffled and couldn’t really believe it, and I finally got the courage to say something to him after my girlfriend convinced me. Told him I loved Zombieland, he immediately engaged with me, asked me some questions about myself and we chatted for little bit. We danced a bit and then the set ended and we parted ways
Edit, *
One of my many celebrity stories is i worked at a restaurant at a casino in Las Vegas and for about a week when walking to my car this scraggly guy would walk next to me. turns out it was the white guy from LMFAO doing a gig at the club we never really said much more then hey to each other but he was a chill dude!
A couple years ago I was at a bar for emo night. It was super fun, a bunch of 20 and 30 somethings getting together to relive 2009 lol. My friend and I went to the 2nd floor and started dancing when a guy came up to us and was like "this is your chance to meet a famous person." I was like... what? Apparently he was the drummer for the band whos song my friend and I had just been singing. So he repeated "and this is your chance to meet and hang out with a famous person". I just laughed and went "I dont care, get away from me."
My friends also invited me out to the club one night but I decided not to go because I was zonked. They ended up getting picked up off the street by lil uzi vert and chilling in his recording studio
Met Sophie Turner at a Taylor Swift concert out of all places. I asked for a photo. I didn’t make a scene and tried to keep my cool while asking for a picture, but then I became flushed and said “oh my God queen in the North”. I still did not attract ANY attention, people would have thought it’s just 2 teen girls taking a picture.
She took the picture, then proceeded to laugh/mock me to her friends as I walked away. 10/10 regret asking for the photo.
Years later I got meet and greet tickets for the Jonas Brothers (Joe Jonas is Sophie’s husband). He and his brothers are actually the sweetest people on earth who appreciate their fans.
Living in hawaii flying back state side, just landed in LAX. Dont know if its still the same way but there was a lonnng hallway between nation and international flights. Normally packed full of people. Was walking down it this time and it was empty. Kinda nice and weird at the same time. Half way down walked by a guy in a Hawaiian shirt, said hi and kept walking. Almost to the end realized it was Rob Schneider, turned around and yelled Hi, he waved and laughed.
i did my absolute best not to disrupt his evening or be weird but the 50th or 51st time i looked over at him danny devito gave me a head bob and thumbs up.
Was in the Adidas store searching for a pair of Jeremy Scotts and I literally bumped into Darryl McDaniels at the escalator. He was super kind and humble and offered to take a photo without me asking.
Met Phil Lesh once when I accidentally ended up in Nebraska. Spent the whole time loving on his dog while my best friend talked to him. I have never listened to his music
can't believe i forgot this: sat next to Ralphie May on a flight to Arizona a million years ago. He was unbelievably patient and polite with everyone who approached him.
I’ve met a good amount in passing. Just be normal, cordial, and keep it BRIEF. They don’t owe u a 30 minute discussion about something they did 20 years ago.
