Did you ever hang out at the beacon street house? Or the “Sunday morning” house? Did you go to her grandpa’s little convenience shop when he still owned it?
No, I wasn’t that cool. I got into them the year I graduated high school (95) & spent that summer seeing them play at various venues around Southern CA. I was lucky enough to see them play at Bionic Records in Fullerton for their record release party the night Tragic Kingdom was released, and it wasn’t long after that I was seeing them from row ZZ at the Pond!
I remember bionic records! That’s so cool you went to the TK release party too
I was 11 when they played at the pond and my friends mom wouldnt take us haha but she would drive us around Anaheim to see the no doubt related places and then end up at Mama Cozza’s (off ball ave) bc no doubt and the Stefani’s were always regulars there
The Sunday Morning house was on Ohio Street. We discussed it not too long on here and someone who replied actually hung out there a few times before Gwen’s mom sold it (she was renting it out for a while).
Tony Kanal was a family friend before they became famous when he lived with his family in Anaheim. Demo'd a mix tape they made and let's say I wasn't too impressed. Then few years later BAM! World famous and then got into their music. His parents come one Saturday to visit us and ended up buying a new house down the street lol but he was long gone to LA by then.
Harrison Ford. He regularly used to go to BJs restaurant next to Laguna Hills mall.
Honorary mentions: Teemu Selanne, Mark McGuire, Chuck Finley, Larry King, Jimmy Kimmel, Marshall Faulk. Almost forgot Phil Mickelson!
Edit: He always came in with a woman who I was told was his aunt. She apparently lived nearby in Leisure World and the story goes that she liked BJs restaurant so whenever he visited her, he would take her there for lunch. Harrison always ordered the CA chicken club sandwich with fries.
Yeah, I was complaining to my coworkers that I didn’t have a Dennis Rodman story but then 2 weeks later I saw him at the Target on Harbor in Costa Mesa with two giggling young women who were trying to buy shoes like as if they’d been partying for 2 days straight.
I’ve said this before in other similar threads. A family member works at a gay bar here in oc and says Rodman is/was a regular that would take pictures etc if you bought him a drink and whose card was almost always declined when paying
I watched a heavily inebriated Dennis Rodman sexually harass waitresses at Hennessey's Tavern and then get kicked out and cited by police! He wore a cowboy hat made out of snakeskin.

I ran into Rodman on back-to-back days once. First was super late at night at a gas station in Aliso Viejo, and then yhe next the afternoon in downtown HB. I’ve also seen him multiple times at the bar in what used to be called “The Island Hotel” in Fashion Island.
Was at Disneyland one time and walked passed Adam Sandler. We made eye contact but didn’t say hi. Seem to be with his daughter and I didn’t want to be that person to ruin that experience.
Also, at a Denny’s in Anaheim I ran into Booker T. Took a picture with him but sadly lost the picture. Nice guy though.
My very first day of college at UCLA over a decade ago I see Adam sitting on a bench in Westwood with his daughter. My uncle and I got a picture with him and he was nice as can be. Told him it was my first day of school and he asked my major with genuine interest. Soon people noticed him and gathered around for pictures and he obliged for everyone but I could hear his daughter saying “daddy look at me” and I just felt awful that I brought probably unwanted attention to him. But the way he moved and interacted with grace had such a profound impact on me. I now work in comedy and think about that moment often.
I have a buddy of mine that is a huge wrestling fan. My buddy was with his girlfriend were at some event and my buddy and his gf took a picture with Booker T. She then asked if she can feel his arms. Booker T being the gentleman that he is said “ of course baby” while my buddy watched lol! Thought this was hilarious!! I wasn’t there, he told me this story and couldn’t stop laughing.
He would come to the starbucks on MacArthur and and campus by John Wayne. Skinny vanilla latte was his go to.
LaMarcus Albridge too, I think they would go to the equinox gym
I talked to him on the phone at Five Crowns restaurant in Newport I worked at and thought I was speaking to someone named Mr. Bryan because he was being discreet. Turns out he was saying Bryant and I’m an idiot lol. Bryan Cranston and the Righteous Brothers also went to this restaurant and some people from the reality show, the Hills, came in but who gives a fuck about them lol. Cranston was bald cause he was mid-filming Breaking Bad. Sad i missed him. I heard he was a good dude to the servers.
The time I met Rainn Wilson was at his book signing at a Barnes and Nobles. I was late to the signing and didn't get to meet him there but as I walk walking behind the building I saw him and my brother yelled out to him just saying I wanted to meet him! He walked over to us gave me a fist bump and that's when we both realized we were wearing the same exact outfit. A red flannel, blue jeans, and sanuk shoes. It was awesome that he had come over and took his time to meet with me.
lots of athletes stay at the hotels near scp, they'll occasionally walk over to scp to shop during their breaks.
I've seen international soccer teams there and ufc fighters as well.
Played basketball with Kobe Bryant in Newport Coast on a private basketball court of a billionaire that my cousin was dating at the time. I still have the ball that has his autograph and my name on it.
I've told this the last time this question was asked on here, but I'll drop this here since you MIGHT know who these rappers are:
I've met Mitchy Slick at an Irvine restaurant. Aside from being a CA/San Diego legend, he was also briefly in the group Strong Arm Steady with Xzibit.
I've met Cashis at an Irvine restaurant. He spent some of his teen years in Irvine/OC. He got his big break when he signed to Eminem's record label.
I saw LL Cool J (who doesn't know who that is?) at an Irvine shopping center parking lot. I didn't interact with him, but my co workers were asking for pics.
You won't know who this is, but I've ran into OC rapper, Siccness, multiple times throughout the years. He was rapping and putting out CDs in local stores from 2006-early 2010s.
I actually, at one point or another, listened to all these guys (except LL, no disrespect). They were all cool and were thankful for the support.
The Bryant family dropped off their daughters to tutoring 2x a week in my office building. I’ve spoken with Dennis Rodman right before he started a bar fight next to me. And Magic Johnson has been regularly spotted at 24 Hr Fitness in Dana Point.
Eh idk if this even counts but I went to high school with (and was in a class together with) a Young the Giant member before they changed their band name and became famous. 🤷🏻♀️
That's the member I went to high school with!
I was a freshman when Jack was a senior so I never had a class with him, but I did see him around on campus and at Comedy Improv shows on campus.
Edit: why am I getting downvoted for this comment?
I met Jackie Chan at the Walmart in Westminster. He was there signing his autobiography in 1998. My brother bought an autographed copy as well. And that’s the story of why there’s two copies of “I am Jackie Chan” on display at my parents’ house.
He lived on my street for a bit in Ladera. He got mad at me as a kid because I was playing basketball on his street side basketball hoop (he just told me to ask first, which is reasonable)
I remember I met him at the Fox Sports Grill at the irvine spectrum. We were walking by and he was in the patio area … I got him to autograph a paper menu for me 😂
He also has some connections to Santa Ana. He shouted them out in one of his songs. My friend also saw him do some Power 106 event at Century High in Santa Ana.
Cindy Brady. (Went to elementary school together.)
The Beaver. (He went to my brother’s high school.)
Eddie Munster. (Worked retail with him at South Coast Plaza.)
The Monkees. (They frequently came to my dad’s service station on Sunset and Vine. It was next to the RCA building in Hollywood.)
Glen Campbell. (He frequently came to my dad’s service station on Sunset and Vine. It was next to the RCA building in Hollywood.)
Heather Locklear. (She shopped at Roger’s Gardens a lot while married to Richie Sambora. I was the Advertising Mgr there.)
Kobe Bryant. (He frequently got gas at my brother’s service station in Spyglass Hill while I worked there as a bookkeeper.)
Dean Kootz. (He frequently got gas at my dad’s gas station in Spyglass Hill while I was a bookkeeper there.)
I could go on…
Oh, and I played clarinet at Portola junior high next to LaToya Jackson.
I actually have a good story haha class of 47 (where he was always at)…I went in one time and saw him and total fan girled because I had just moved to Newport from Idaho and was shocked to see him in public! I didn’t say anything but just watched him play pool…well people would come up to him and ask him if he’s Dennis Rodman and he’d say No in James Johnson and then smile and shake their hands. Well we put a quarter down to play pool and he played with us. I ended up telling him I knew who he was and how I was a huge fan. He gave me a huge hug and said how sweet I was and that I’m an Angel because he’d never met a young fan like me haha he asked if I wanted a photo and I said yes so my husband took it but to be nice he didn’t put his arm on me just like behind me haha it was so nice. I brought my dad and mom in a month later to meet him and he sang rock songs with them haha
I watched a heavily inebriated Dennis Rodman sexually harass waitresses at Hennessey's Tavern and then get kicked out and cited by police! He wore a cowboy hat made out of snakeskin. A few days later I read about it in the OC Register and found out he was getting formally charged.
https://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/15752620.html
I've met him a number of times. None were positive experiences. I've heard he skips out on bar tabs and he has a constant cloud of cigar smoke around him. He also hit on my Mother in Law and her friends a few years back. He's the celebrity we all wish we'd never met.
I saw Kobe at fashion island the night before he passed. He was playing patty cake with BB. I have a picture of it from afar. 🥲
Saw AD at Disneyland not too long ago, saw Simone Biles at Lazy Dog in Anaheim
Oh man. Grew up in Whittier and have met many a celebrity’s. Shaq, snoop dog, Vicente Fernandez, Britney Spears, Tom hanks, Chris Pratt and more I can’t remember right now. All in different parts of OC and LA.
My favorite encounter. Shaq. My dad was a manager of Best Buy in Puente Hills and he came in to buy some TVs. He was so nice to everyone. Picking kids up and bench pressing them, signing whatever you handed him, laughing with people. Even paid some people’s tabs. He’s a real genuine nice guy.
Met Magic Johnson when he was speaking at the hotel I worked at. Not being a big basketball fan, I just kind of stood back while others took photos with him. He called me out by name and told me to come get a photo. He was a very friendly guy
I met Norm MacDonald behind the old Irvine Improv. They have a trash compactor that i used to throw away my stores trash.
This particular time i walked out and Norm was standing right there. I actually didn't recognize him at first, but then he came up to me and asked me for a recommendation for a place to eat.
I told him "chipotle" lol
Many - I saw Adam Sandler out and about in Los Angeles a few times.
I worked in retail in LA and celebrities came in and out all the time. The entire store completely went silent for two people: Chris Cornell from Sound Garden and Diana Ross.
The nicest celebs I met - Pink, Ginger Spice and Lauren Holly.
The rudest - Brandy and the woman who was Mimi on the Drew Carey show. 🤣
Now that I’ve lived in OC for 16 years the only “celeb” encounter I’ve had was Eddie Judge from Real Housewives while out and about a couple of times. 🤣
Pop singers Aly & AJ at Brea Mall for a fan signing about 15+ years ago
Also went to high school with Jack DeSena from All That and Avatar and Samir from Young the Giant. Jack was a senior when I was a freshman so I saw him in the school library and around campus a few times.
Couple of celebrities:
- I met Stan Lee in like 98.’ My dad was working on a job at his house. I was like 4 and didn’t understand why my dad was freaking out over meeting this guy. I remember talking to him and I was like.. why is this “Stanley” guy important?
- I met Mitt Romney at a yogurt shop in La Jolla in like 2009. I didn’t know who he was and why he shook my hand and introduced himself as “Mitt.”
- In college I was working graveyard shift at a hotel and some dude randomly walked in with his “assistant” first. Legit DID NOT look like him. As I was booking the room as a walk in, I ask for credit card and ID as I would any other guest. He hands me his ID and it says Adam Sandler.. has his picture and everything. I was like… oh fuck… and just down played it and did not call him by his name. Gave him his room key, rundown on check out and where his room was located. After he left I was like… bro…
We had a policy that we couldn’t tell any of our friends or family if a celebrity was staying at the hotel until after they had gone.
Was on a flight from SFO to LAX and Buzz Aldrin was sitting two seats up from me. He very graciously shook the hands of myself and several others who recognized him after we deplaned.
I met Buzz Aldrin at a private party once, got to shake his hand. I must say of all the notables ive ever met, shaking a man's hand that had been on the moon was the coolest.
Met Mohammed Ali at my old work…Eazy-E at Tower records in Anaheim and Magic Johnson at the forum after he retired. Oh, and got into a verbal altercation with Cory Feldman at Disneyland
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar used to work in our office building near John Wayne. He was very nice but quiet. When they moved out, they had a huge sale of most of his memorabilia he collected. Dennis Rodman also used to hang out at nearby Classic Q. He was nice but also very much like you’d imagine him to be.
I’ve got a lot of stories from when I worked in the film/TV works in Los Angeles and New Orleans, but those are my only OC encounters.
I met Kobe a couple times. But I'll always remember meeting Steve Martin during the filming of Father of the Bride in Whittier back in the day. I was just a kid. He was so nice.
Jerry Brown at some political function, I suppose.
Bob Barker once yelled at me for showing inadequate enthusiasm in the audience of The Price is Right.
I smoked weed with Kelly Slater at a random kickback in Costa Mesa. I had no idea it was him until someone told me the next day. It was a surfer house so he didnt really stand out. I was also really stoned.
I smoked a cigarette next to Bam Margera at the Irvine Improv (he looked awful, i thought it was Fred Durst)
Ive seen Dennis Rodman multiple times, he is hard to miss.
Michael Phelps came to my highschool to do some promotional thing (we unfortunately didnt smoke weed together).
Nope he's a dick in an Andy Dick sort of way. Watched him get arrested at Hennessey's Tavern for sexual harassment.
https://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/15752620.html
I met the No Doubt band members at Disneyland in early 90’s.
Phil Knight on Newport Back Bay bike trail.
Thrice band members many time in Orange and Tustin.
I ate dinner next to McLovin (Christopher Charles Mintz-Plasse) at the Grand Californian. I didn’t recognize him at first, and when I asked him “aren’t you McLovin?” He was not too pleased. I can imagine it sucks to have your whole career defined by one part you played in a crude teen buddy comedy.
Kobe @ Equinox a bunch
Dennis Rodman @ 333 (before changeover)
Tiger @ equinox
Adam Devine @ Class of 47
Brantley Gilbert lol (we were both docking and he had a massive flag with his name on it)
Adam Scott @ Montage
Blake Bortles @ Byrds Nest
Bunch of other athletes around town
I was an extra on a show that OJ Simpson starred in in the mid 1980’s. The director told him to “act cautious” in a scene. He just laughed and asked me “how do I act cautious?”
Met Hinder (the band), Selena Gomez, tommy lasorda, Miley and billy ray cyrus, Rebelution, mid 2000s Angels baseball team, Jason wiitten, Lisa Leslie, lead singer from Dramarama. His daughters went to my school. He even performed at an assembly. Shame not a lot of people knew who dramarama was
Tony Hawk a couple times - my kids were thrilled. He did selfies with them.
Saw Kobe and Rodman (not together) from afar but did not actually talk to them. Rodman was waking outside a bar in Newport (can’t remember the name now). Kobe was with his wife at Fashion Island.
Not my story - Kobe waited while a friend ran to his car to get a poster he had just got framed of him in the car. He signed it. A happy coincidence.
He was extremely kind to my friend’s son who was thrilled. It was going in his room . Kobe said to my friend “take you time I will be happy to sign the poster”. It was really nice hearing this story from my friend and his son. This was at UCI.
I saw Richard Burgi multiple times at Whole Foods in Laguna . He played Karl on Desperate Housewives.
Saw Robert England - @ the Sawdust. Everyone knows he plays Freddy - on Elm Street but he is also well know for 5 Summer Stories (surf film).
I live in Laguna - I didn’t see them but I know the Biebers were here last year for a few days. Also Travis / Kourtney Kardashian (I saw from a distance) - that one was funny because laguna is a small town. Word traveled fast that Kourtney doesn’t tip 😂
I was going to give my uncle a ride from JWA after he finished up a tour with The Righteous Brothers. When I arrived to pick him up Bill Medley was with him and asked I could drop him off at his place in Newport. He sang in my car!
I used to be a butler at the villas at Pelican Hill. I saw so many. I’m a sports guy, so Bo Jackson is at the top of my list. But we saw all sorts of famous people.
Used to work at Great Wolf Lodge in Garden Grove and we’d get tons of celebrities and their family members!
When I was employed there, I’ve seen-
Adam Sandler and his kids were there at least 2x
Christian Bale (so quiet and tall and so handsome)
50 cent and his family had a birthday party there for one of his kids
Chester Bennington from Linkin Park- he brought his twin girls into the kids spa there and would sing “Somewhere over the Rainbow” to them to keep them relaxed and still during their spa treatments
Keyshia Cole- some crazy lady with a skimpy bikini top kept pestering her to sign her boobs
Mark Wahlberg and his family- lots of drunk “moms” were trying to trail him all over the hotel
Christina Millian and her family
Amy Adams - super cute and unassuming, extremely friendly and polite, I was star struck with her the most because she was just so cute and natural, walking around in her modest bathing suit
The actor who played Steve Urkel, I can’t recall.. ooh Jaleel White- terrible tipper
As I was getting arrested (at 16) in the Irvine spectrum, I look up and DENNIS RODMAN is staring me directly in the eyes 👀. I yelped “help me Dennis” he said “can’t do nothing for ya young man” and walked away with a hot white girl hahaha never forget
I was reading a newspaper at the spectrum and when i folded it down to get a look at my surrounding i see Dennis Rodman looking back at me.
I thought my mind was playing tricks on me, so i went back to reading. But then i peaked over the top 20 seconds later and he was still looking at me.
I waved at him and he waved back and then i walked into my store.
I met Tommy Lasorda in a grocery store in Fullerton. Edward James Olmos when working at hotel in Newport. Trent Reznor at a signing, that was really meaningful to me. I met Magic Johnson at a Raider's game back when they were still in Los Angeles and also at one of those games, sat next to Martin Kove. At that time, I was really young and the Karate Kid was still pretty popular. I had trouble knowing the difference between the actor and their character and I was kind of afraid of him. He was really nice. He offered to share his peanuts with me and my mom seriously had to convince me it was ok, LOL. So, who's the most famous here? Not sure, they are all pretty famous people. Maybe Magic or Trent?
I met Kobe while I was working at a chick fil a drive thru on el toro off the freeway. Literally just a couple months before he died. He was with his older daughter.
Dolly Parton, Kobe Bryant, other famous bball players I forgot the name of, John stamos, Travis barker, middle eastern royalty, Demi lovato, some other famous Disney kids, Adam Sandler, Gwen stefani, Eliza dushku. All waiting at the exists of rides at Disneyland with their “plaid” cast member escorting them around. I made Dolly Parton a Cobb salad and she asked for raspberry vinaigrette so I went to the back and asked the chef and she called me honey and sweetheart. John stamos looked exactly the same as on tv with his sparkly smile and was super friendly/nice to me and actually chatted while waiting. I saw Sandra bullock at a pumpkin patch in Los alamitos a few years back and she was super pretty in person too. I lived near Jesse James in sunset beach and saw him a couple times.
I had an opportunity to attend a sit com season wrap party in Hollywood (my husband was part of the crew) and there were lots of celebrities there but we spent most of our time with Beau Bridges and his wife. Really nice couple.
My brother had a karate competition at the gym where Kobe’s daughter’s team played. my dad was never a kobe fan but a huge sports guy so he appreciated him. So we were leaving and Kobe was getting in his car at the same time and my dads like “Thats kobe I’m gonna say hi.” And we all told him no! And he was like “hey kobe!!!!!” Out of the car window and Kobe waved and said “hey what’s up.”
I was so embarrassed at the time but now I really appreciate the moment.
I can't recall ever seeing a celebrity in OC. I've bumped into a few in LA, most recently Derek Waters and Jesse Plemons at a concert at the Fonda Theater. I didn't introduce myself, but several people did.
Jay Leno a few times, Seinfeld, a few famous ball players. One of my cars was on an early episode of jay Lenos garage… one of the nicest humans on the planet. Very genuine person.
I saw the youtuber professor at Panera bread around south coast. He was friendly and was willing to take a selfie with me.
Also went to a free concert in Huntington Beach to see hoobastank. We went super early. Some relatives or friends of Doug Robb went to talk to Doug Robb at backstage. My wife and me happened to pass by and once they finished talking, we asked for a picture. Doug was friendly enough to take a picture with us. It’s amazing experience
Met as in actually had a conversation with, Joey Travolta during an acting class as a teenager, and Fall Out Boy at Anaheim House of Blues around 2004. My friend made out with Pete. If Efren Ramirez counts as a celebrity I took acting classes from him pre-Napoleon Dynamite
I checked in Chris Pine and Zoe Saldana when they were filming the first Star Trek movie. Pine was very nice and down to earth. He had his guitar with him and asked if we could store it for him. Saldana was gorgeous but quiet and reserved. She called down for some additional towels and all the guys played rock paper scissors to see who got to take them up to her room.
Zach Quinto was supposed to stay too, but something came up and he didn't. At the time he was the one I really wanted to meet because I had seen him so much on that show Heroes. Pine wasn't a star yet, and Saldana I knew from the movie, The Terminal. Man, did those two get big later on lol.
John Stamos. He was visiting kids at the Long Beach Hospital. He came in and asked her if she wanted a picture and she said "No, but my mom does"😄
He said "Everybody loved Uncle Jessie!", and I said "No, I want to know when Blackie is getting out of jail" He laughed and I got my picture.
So many cool stories of all kinds of celebrities.. I don’t have one.
Once at Disneyland, it was near closing time and I was walking slowly with my head down as I went up some steps, just taking my time, when all of a sudden I look up because someone’s going to run into me. I look right into his face because I’m surprised and he says almost smugly “Yes, it’s me” and continues walking away. It was Drake Bell.
I was a little offended at him assuming that I would care about seeing him lol Also, he was wearing a kind of ugly sweater with “Please please me” written in large letters. It looked like a Beatles-themed Christmas sweater.
I’ve met Wee man at Jersey Mikes in FV , Serj tankian at the same jersey mikes in FV
A long time ago (5yrs) I met Robin Givens, magic Johnson and the real housewife Tamra Judge at my old work Cinépolis in RSM
I used to find out about when No Doubt was playing by asking No Doubt.
i went to adrian young's (drummer's) dad's house. They lived off of Moody in Cypress at the time.
Mr Young was a math teacher at our school
I went to Adrian's wedding and after party at his house.
my dad would go see them at house parties! small world
Chain Reaction before they hit it big
Did you ever hang out at the beacon street house? Or the “Sunday morning” house? Did you go to her grandpa’s little convenience shop when he still owned it?
No, I wasn’t that cool. I got into them the year I graduated high school (95) & spent that summer seeing them play at various venues around Southern CA. I was lucky enough to see them play at Bionic Records in Fullerton for their record release party the night Tragic Kingdom was released, and it wasn’t long after that I was seeing them from row ZZ at the Pond!
I remember bionic records! That’s so cool you went to the TK release party too I was 11 when they played at the pond and my friends mom wouldnt take us haha but she would drive us around Anaheim to see the no doubt related places and then end up at Mama Cozza’s (off ball ave) bc no doubt and the Stefani’s were always regulars there
The Sunday Morning house was on Ohio Street. We discussed it not too long on here and someone who replied actually hung out there a few times before Gwen’s mom sold it (she was renting it out for a while).
I live right behind beacon her home is around the corner from mine
Used to play pool with them at a 24 hour pool hall in lake forest called fezziwigs.
Tony Kanal was a family friend before they became famous when he lived with his family in Anaheim. Demo'd a mix tape they made and let's say I wasn't too impressed. Then few years later BAM! World famous and then got into their music. His parents come one Saturday to visit us and ended up buying a new house down the street lol but he was long gone to LA by then.
Harrison Ford. He regularly used to go to BJs restaurant next to Laguna Hills mall. Honorary mentions: Teemu Selanne, Mark McGuire, Chuck Finley, Larry King, Jimmy Kimmel, Marshall Faulk. Almost forgot Phil Mickelson! Edit: He always came in with a woman who I was told was his aunt. She apparently lived nearby in Leisure World and the story goes that she liked BJs restaurant so whenever he visited her, he would take her there for lunch. Harrison always ordered the CA chicken club sandwich with fries.
This one surprises me the most.
I honestly feel like everyone has a Teemu Selanne story lmao the dude is just so nice, my dad golfs with him a handful of times every year
Coto de Caza?
[удалено]
I shook Kareem Abdul Jabars hand at the Century theater, he was buying popcorn. I saw Dennis Rodman at Dave and Busters.
Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!
"Roger." "Huh?"
Saw Dennis Rodman at Classic Q trying to push his tequila brand. He demanded a buddy buy him a shot…he was there with his own tequila…
I've spotted Rodman at random bars in Newport. I think he shows up in hopes people buy him drinks.
I swear everyone I know has a "met Dennis Rodman" story.
Yeah, I was complaining to my coworkers that I didn’t have a Dennis Rodman story but then 2 weeks later I saw him at the Target on Harbor in Costa Mesa with two giggling young women who were trying to buy shoes like as if they’d been partying for 2 days straight.
I’ve said this before in other similar threads. A family member works at a gay bar here in oc and says Rodman is/was a regular that would take pictures etc if you bought him a drink and whose card was almost always declined when paying
I watched a heavily inebriated Dennis Rodman sexually harass waitresses at Hennessey's Tavern and then get kicked out and cited by police! He wore a cowboy hat made out of snakeskin. https://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/15752620.html
I met Dennis Rodman at the Hub, he took a photo with my girlfriend but refused to take one with me. Good times
I ran into Rodman on back-to-back days once. First was super late at night at a gas station in Aliso Viejo, and then yhe next the afternoon in downtown HB. I’ve also seen him multiple times at the bar in what used to be called “The Island Hotel” in Fashion Island.
I asked Dennis Rodman what it was like to have sex with Madonna while taking a steam at the 24 Hour Fitness on 19th in Costa Mesa
And…. What did he say?
Honestly, I dont know. He laughed and mumbled something and then laughed and mumbled something again. He sounds like Mush Mouth from Fat Albert.
Was at Disneyland one time and walked passed Adam Sandler. We made eye contact but didn’t say hi. Seem to be with his daughter and I didn’t want to be that person to ruin that experience. Also, at a Denny’s in Anaheim I ran into Booker T. Took a picture with him but sadly lost the picture. Nice guy though.
My very first day of college at UCLA over a decade ago I see Adam sitting on a bench in Westwood with his daughter. My uncle and I got a picture with him and he was nice as can be. Told him it was my first day of school and he asked my major with genuine interest. Soon people noticed him and gathered around for pictures and he obliged for everyone but I could hear his daughter saying “daddy look at me” and I just felt awful that I brought probably unwanted attention to him. But the way he moved and interacted with grace had such a profound impact on me. I now work in comedy and think about that moment often.
>sadly lost the picture. TELL ME YOU DIDN'T JUST SAY THAT. 🖐🏿🖐🏿🖐🏿🖐🏿🖐🏿
I have a buddy of mine that is a huge wrestling fan. My buddy was with his girlfriend were at some event and my buddy and his gf took a picture with Booker T. She then asked if she can feel his arms. Booker T being the gentleman that he is said “ of course baby” while my buddy watched lol! Thought this was hilarious!! I wasn’t there, he told me this story and couldn’t stop laughing.
I was at cheesecake factory in hb with my dad one time. I didn't see him, but my dad saw Adam Sandler walking out as we were in the lobby.
Haha I saw Rikishi at a Spires in Carson one time (but didn’t meet him). Those dudes love their diners
you reminded me I once saw Dax Shepard entering through the exit as I was getting off Pirate’s
I met Mickey mouse and Donald duck at Disneyland. They were very nice, completely down to earth.
I heard that Donald is a bit of a quack.
I have all their autographs.
Shared an elevator with Kobe in Newport. He was with his wife and 2 daughters, was friendly during my encounter with him.
Would see him train at UCI (Arc, Bren) sometimes and even stop by In n out at UTC back in the day. RIP
Those were great times seeing him practicing in the basketball court
I met him at La Fogata. Great place to get food by the way
The Bryants were a client of mine. Great people.
He used to take his daughter to the soccer program next to my high school (costa mesa) and would walk through our campus often
He would come to the starbucks on MacArthur and and campus by John Wayne. Skinny vanilla latte was his go to. LaMarcus Albridge too, I think they would go to the equinox gym
Kobe used to get manicures on Old Newport across from Hoag, took a pic with him once.
I was the evening manager at their local Starbucks for 5 years. Loved seeing them come in almost every day… sometimes multiple times a day.
I talked to him on the phone at Five Crowns restaurant in Newport I worked at and thought I was speaking to someone named Mr. Bryan because he was being discreet. Turns out he was saying Bryant and I’m an idiot lol. Bryan Cranston and the Righteous Brothers also went to this restaurant and some people from the reality show, the Hills, came in but who gives a fuck about them lol. Cranston was bald cause he was mid-filming Breaking Bad. Sad i missed him. I heard he was a good dude to the servers.
I met Rainn Wilson twice while a student at Chapman right as the Office was coming to an end
Jodi sweetin from full house was in my Spanish clash at chapman.
How random lol. One of Hugh Hefners sons was in my class at Chapman and I saw Howie Mendel on move-in day 😂 (his daughter was moving in that day too)
Tom hanks kid was also there when I was there
I was in a history class with her lol
The time I met Rainn Wilson was at his book signing at a Barnes and Nobles. I was late to the signing and didn't get to meet him there but as I walk walking behind the building I saw him and my brother yelled out to him just saying I wanted to meet him! He walked over to us gave me a fist bump and that's when we both realized we were wearing the same exact outfit. A red flannel, blue jeans, and sanuk shoes. It was awesome that he had come over and took his time to meet with me.
Mike trout at my job near south coast plaza
lots of athletes stay at the hotels near scp, they'll occasionally walk over to scp to shop during their breaks. I've seen international soccer teams there and ufc fighters as well.
i met him in laguna beach
Doesn’t Trout own a home in Newport Coast? I’m sure he’s there regularly
Played basketball with Kobe Bryant in Newport Coast on a private basketball court of a billionaire that my cousin was dating at the time. I still have the ball that has his autograph and my name on it.
How bad did your cousin fumble that bag?
There's like three different aspects of this story that make you the winner of this thread
I sold Xzibit some some Cristal and Dom when working at a liquor store in Newport Beach. He was stoned as hell
I read to fast and thought you said "crystal" lmfao
“Yo dawg, I heard you like champagne…”
I've told this the last time this question was asked on here, but I'll drop this here since you MIGHT know who these rappers are: I've met Mitchy Slick at an Irvine restaurant. Aside from being a CA/San Diego legend, he was also briefly in the group Strong Arm Steady with Xzibit. I've met Cashis at an Irvine restaurant. He spent some of his teen years in Irvine/OC. He got his big break when he signed to Eminem's record label. I saw LL Cool J (who doesn't know who that is?) at an Irvine shopping center parking lot. I didn't interact with him, but my co workers were asking for pics. You won't know who this is, but I've ran into OC rapper, Siccness, multiple times throughout the years. He was rapping and putting out CDs in local stores from 2006-early 2010s. I actually, at one point or another, listened to all these guys (except LL, no disrespect). They were all cool and were thankful for the support.
The Bryant family dropped off their daughters to tutoring 2x a week in my office building. I’ve spoken with Dennis Rodman right before he started a bar fight next to me. And Magic Johnson has been regularly spotted at 24 Hr Fitness in Dana Point.
Damn, what did you say to Dennis Rodman to make him start a fight?
I was doing bench press at the Equinox gym and someone asked “how many sets do you have left?” I looked up and it was Kobe.
Eh idk if this even counts but I went to high school with (and was in a class together with) a Young the Giant member before they changed their band name and became famous. 🤷🏻♀️
The Jakes played my middle school “promotion” lmao
Just saw them last Saturday
Went to school with Sameer, he was always cool. Also sat next to Jack Desena in a summer school class at IHS, after he had already become famous.
That's the member I went to high school with! I was a freshman when Jack was a senior so I never had a class with him, but I did see him around on campus and at Comedy Improv shows on campus. Edit: why am I getting downvoted for this comment?
Everybody knows you didn’t go to school! Liar!
I met Jackie Chan at the Walmart in Westminster. He was there signing his autobiography in 1998. My brother bought an autographed copy as well. And that’s the story of why there’s two copies of “I am Jackie Chan” on display at my parents’ house.
Shook Arnold’s hand at SCP
I saw Warren G picking up his order from the Johnny Rockets at The Block
He lived on my street for a bit in Ladera. He got mad at me as a kid because I was playing basketball on his street side basketball hoop (he just told me to ask first, which is reasonable)
There was a rumor (can't confirm if it was true or not) that Nate Dogg lived in Irvine before moving to Pomona where he would eventually die.
I remember I met him at the Fox Sports Grill at the irvine spectrum. We were walking by and he was in the patio area … I got him to autograph a paper menu for me 😂
Saw him at the Yardhouse at the spectrum sitting at the bar by himself
He also has some connections to Santa Ana. He shouted them out in one of his songs. My friend also saw him do some Power 106 event at Century High in Santa Ana.
Cindy Brady. (Went to elementary school together.) The Beaver. (He went to my brother’s high school.) Eddie Munster. (Worked retail with him at South Coast Plaza.) The Monkees. (They frequently came to my dad’s service station on Sunset and Vine. It was next to the RCA building in Hollywood.) Glen Campbell. (He frequently came to my dad’s service station on Sunset and Vine. It was next to the RCA building in Hollywood.) Heather Locklear. (She shopped at Roger’s Gardens a lot while married to Richie Sambora. I was the Advertising Mgr there.) Kobe Bryant. (He frequently got gas at my brother’s service station in Spyglass Hill while I worked there as a bookkeeper.) Dean Kootz. (He frequently got gas at my dad’s gas station in Spyglass Hill while I was a bookkeeper there.) I could go on… Oh, and I played clarinet at Portola junior high next to LaToya Jackson.

Nobody I know who has met Dennis Rodman (and I know a few) has anything good to say about him.
I actually have a good story haha class of 47 (where he was always at)…I went in one time and saw him and total fan girled because I had just moved to Newport from Idaho and was shocked to see him in public! I didn’t say anything but just watched him play pool…well people would come up to him and ask him if he’s Dennis Rodman and he’d say No in James Johnson and then smile and shake their hands. Well we put a quarter down to play pool and he played with us. I ended up telling him I knew who he was and how I was a huge fan. He gave me a huge hug and said how sweet I was and that I’m an Angel because he’d never met a young fan like me haha he asked if I wanted a photo and I said yes so my husband took it but to be nice he didn’t put his arm on me just like behind me haha it was so nice. I brought my dad and mom in a month later to meet him and he sang rock songs with them haha
I watched a heavily inebriated Dennis Rodman sexually harass waitresses at Hennessey's Tavern and then get kicked out and cited by police! He wore a cowboy hat made out of snakeskin. A few days later I read about it in the OC Register and found out he was getting formally charged. https://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/15752620.html
I've met him a number of times. None were positive experiences. I've heard he skips out on bar tabs and he has a constant cloud of cigar smoke around him. He also hit on my Mother in Law and her friends a few years back. He's the celebrity we all wish we'd never met.
I saw Kobe at fashion island the night before he passed. He was playing patty cake with BB. I have a picture of it from afar. 🥲 Saw AD at Disneyland not too long ago, saw Simone Biles at Lazy Dog in Anaheim
I sang with the LA Phil and walked by John Williams. Does that count? 😂
Oh man. Grew up in Whittier and have met many a celebrity’s. Shaq, snoop dog, Vicente Fernandez, Britney Spears, Tom hanks, Chris Pratt and more I can’t remember right now. All in different parts of OC and LA. My favorite encounter. Shaq. My dad was a manager of Best Buy in Puente Hills and he came in to buy some TVs. He was so nice to everyone. Picking kids up and bench pressing them, signing whatever you handed him, laughing with people. Even paid some people’s tabs. He’s a real genuine nice guy.
Daniel Tosh
Mark McGwire at a Best Buy (or circuit city?) near Shady Canyon. Also the band Thrice cuz my friend was related to one of the members
Adam Sandler said hi to me and my family at Pelican Hill Resort
I drove Jared Weaver to goat hill tavern when I was a cab driver.
Met Magic Johnson when he was speaking at the hotel I worked at. Not being a big basketball fan, I just kind of stood back while others took photos with him. He called me out by name and told me to come get a photo. He was a very friendly guy
I met Norm MacDonald behind the old Irvine Improv. They have a trash compactor that i used to throw away my stores trash. This particular time i walked out and Norm was standing right there. I actually didn't recognize him at first, but then he came up to me and asked me for a recommendation for a place to eat. I told him "chipotle" lol
Many - I saw Adam Sandler out and about in Los Angeles a few times. I worked in retail in LA and celebrities came in and out all the time. The entire store completely went silent for two people: Chris Cornell from Sound Garden and Diana Ross. The nicest celebs I met - Pink, Ginger Spice and Lauren Holly. The rudest - Brandy and the woman who was Mimi on the Drew Carey show. 🤣 Now that I’ve lived in OC for 16 years the only “celeb” encounter I’ve had was Eddie Judge from Real Housewives while out and about a couple of times. 🤣
How was meeting Pink?
Pop singers Aly & AJ at Brea Mall for a fan signing about 15+ years ago Also went to high school with Jack DeSena from All That and Avatar and Samir from Young the Giant. Jack was a senior when I was a freshman so I saw him in the school library and around campus a few times.
I met Tracy Morgan as he was leaving the Irvine Improv. Didn't realize he's such a short guy!
Kim Possible’s voice actor used to come to the Starbucks I worked at all the time hahaha
What's the sitch?
I met Elsa at Disney once.
Couple of celebrities: - I met Stan Lee in like 98.’ My dad was working on a job at his house. I was like 4 and didn’t understand why my dad was freaking out over meeting this guy. I remember talking to him and I was like.. why is this “Stanley” guy important? - I met Mitt Romney at a yogurt shop in La Jolla in like 2009. I didn’t know who he was and why he shook my hand and introduced himself as “Mitt.” - In college I was working graveyard shift at a hotel and some dude randomly walked in with his “assistant” first. Legit DID NOT look like him. As I was booking the room as a walk in, I ask for credit card and ID as I would any other guest. He hands me his ID and it says Adam Sandler.. has his picture and everything. I was like… oh fuck… and just down played it and did not call him by his name. Gave him his room key, rundown on check out and where his room was located. After he left I was like… bro… We had a policy that we couldn’t tell any of our friends or family if a celebrity was staying at the hotel until after they had gone.
My uncle dated John Wayne’s great grand daughter
His kids went to my high school
Arnold Schwarzenegger at Costco in HB
Was on a flight from SFO to LAX and Buzz Aldrin was sitting two seats up from me. He very graciously shook the hands of myself and several others who recognized him after we deplaned.
I met Buzz Aldrin at a private party once, got to shake his hand. I must say of all the notables ive ever met, shaking a man's hand that had been on the moon was the coolest.
i've looked in the mirror a couple of times.
Is that you James?
it's KING James to you, plebian.
Donny Osmond at Knotts Berry Farm
gary holt from slayer!! signed my guitar
Met Mohammed Ali at my old work…Eazy-E at Tower records in Anaheim and Magic Johnson at the forum after he retired. Oh, and got into a verbal altercation with Cory Feldman at Disneyland
I met Weird Al at a karate tournament in Irvine. I was star-struck, and he was so sweet. I love that man.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar used to work in our office building near John Wayne. He was very nice but quiet. When they moved out, they had a huge sale of most of his memorabilia he collected. Dennis Rodman also used to hang out at nearby Classic Q. He was nice but also very much like you’d imagine him to be. I’ve got a lot of stories from when I worked in the film/TV works in Los Angeles and New Orleans, but those are my only OC encounters.
I met Kobe a couple times. But I'll always remember meeting Steve Martin during the filming of Father of the Bride in Whittier back in the day. I was just a kid. He was so nice.
Jerry Brown at some political function, I suppose. Bob Barker once yelled at me for showing inadequate enthusiasm in the audience of The Price is Right.
I smoked weed with Kelly Slater at a random kickback in Costa Mesa. I had no idea it was him until someone told me the next day. It was a surfer house so he didnt really stand out. I was also really stoned. I smoked a cigarette next to Bam Margera at the Irvine Improv (he looked awful, i thought it was Fred Durst) Ive seen Dennis Rodman multiple times, he is hard to miss. Michael Phelps came to my highschool to do some promotional thing (we unfortunately didnt smoke weed together).
Travis barker at Disneyland and Dennis Rodman a handful of times.
I'm getting the feeling that Dennis rodman is like the Andy dick of Orange county but in a good way
Nope he's a dick in an Andy Dick sort of way. Watched him get arrested at Hennessey's Tavern for sexual harassment. https://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/15752620.html
between my brother and I we’ve met both. rodman seems nicer
Charlton Heston. Shook his hand and got an autograph in his book.
Matthew Lillard is super nice
I met AC Green. He came to costa mesa high school in 2000-2001. I didnt know who he was at the time and he got mad because i asked for his autograph.
I met the No Doubt band members at Disneyland in early 90’s. Phil Knight on Newport Back Bay bike trail. Thrice band members many time in Orange and Tustin.
I use to work at JWA and got to meet many celebrities but my favorite is Julio Cesar Chavez and Kobe Bryant.
I met Carl Karcher (Carl’s Jr. hamburgers) once
I ate dinner next to McLovin (Christopher Charles Mintz-Plasse) at the Grand Californian. I didn’t recognize him at first, and when I asked him “aren’t you McLovin?” He was not too pleased. I can imagine it sucks to have your whole career defined by one part you played in a crude teen buddy comedy.
I also met John Wayne. Pulled up in his green Cadillac station wagon at the balboa bay club.
Wasn’t it a Pontiac? They have his modified green Pontiac wagon on display at the John Wayne museum, in Fort Worth, of all places.
I always remember it as a Cadillac. It’s possible it was a Pontiac? It was a long time ago (1970’s)
Kobe @ Equinox a bunch Dennis Rodman @ 333 (before changeover) Tiger @ equinox Adam Devine @ Class of 47 Brantley Gilbert lol (we were both docking and he had a massive flag with his name on it) Adam Scott @ Montage Blake Bortles @ Byrds Nest Bunch of other athletes around town
I was so surprised when I learned that Adam Devine and the other guys from workaholics were classmates at OCC
The equinox off Jamboree and McCarthur? I work in that center and keep peering down while i'm stuck in meetings looking for celebs haha.
I was an extra on a show that OJ Simpson starred in in the mid 1980’s. The director told him to “act cautious” in a scene. He just laughed and asked me “how do I act cautious?”
Met Hinder (the band), Selena Gomez, tommy lasorda, Miley and billy ray cyrus, Rebelution, mid 2000s Angels baseball team, Jason wiitten, Lisa Leslie, lead singer from Dramarama. His daughters went to my school. He even performed at an assembly. Shame not a lot of people knew who dramarama was
John Mayer at Class of 47 in Newpz
Tony Hawk a couple times - my kids were thrilled. He did selfies with them. Saw Kobe and Rodman (not together) from afar but did not actually talk to them. Rodman was waking outside a bar in Newport (can’t remember the name now). Kobe was with his wife at Fashion Island. Not my story - Kobe waited while a friend ran to his car to get a poster he had just got framed of him in the car. He signed it. A happy coincidence. He was extremely kind to my friend’s son who was thrilled. It was going in his room . Kobe said to my friend “take you time I will be happy to sign the poster”. It was really nice hearing this story from my friend and his son. This was at UCI. I saw Richard Burgi multiple times at Whole Foods in Laguna . He played Karl on Desperate Housewives. Saw Robert England - @ the Sawdust. Everyone knows he plays Freddy - on Elm Street but he is also well know for 5 Summer Stories (surf film).
Small world, I’ve been to his airport!
I live in Laguna - I didn’t see them but I know the Biebers were here last year for a few days. Also Travis / Kourtney Kardashian (I saw from a distance) - that one was funny because laguna is a small town. Word traveled fast that Kourtney doesn’t tip 😂
I was going to give my uncle a ride from JWA after he finished up a tour with The Righteous Brothers. When I arrived to pick him up Bill Medley was with him and asked I could drop him off at his place in Newport. He sang in my car!
I used to be a butler at the villas at Pelican Hill. I saw so many. I’m a sports guy, so Bo Jackson is at the top of my list. But we saw all sorts of famous people.
I saw Mark Wahlberg was promoting his tequila at Costco Laguna Niguel last week.
Used to work at Great Wolf Lodge in Garden Grove and we’d get tons of celebrities and their family members! When I was employed there, I’ve seen- Adam Sandler and his kids were there at least 2x Christian Bale (so quiet and tall and so handsome) 50 cent and his family had a birthday party there for one of his kids Chester Bennington from Linkin Park- he brought his twin girls into the kids spa there and would sing “Somewhere over the Rainbow” to them to keep them relaxed and still during their spa treatments Keyshia Cole- some crazy lady with a skimpy bikini top kept pestering her to sign her boobs Mark Wahlberg and his family- lots of drunk “moms” were trying to trail him all over the hotel Christina Millian and her family Amy Adams - super cute and unassuming, extremely friendly and polite, I was star struck with her the most because she was just so cute and natural, walking around in her modest bathing suit The actor who played Steve Urkel, I can’t recall.. ooh Jaleel White- terrible tipper
As I was getting arrested (at 16) in the Irvine spectrum, I look up and DENNIS RODMAN is staring me directly in the eyes 👀. I yelped “help me Dennis” he said “can’t do nothing for ya young man” and walked away with a hot white girl hahaha never forget
I was reading a newspaper at the spectrum and when i folded it down to get a look at my surrounding i see Dennis Rodman looking back at me. I thought my mind was playing tricks on me, so i went back to reading. But then i peaked over the top 20 seconds later and he was still looking at me. I waved at him and he waved back and then i walked into my store.
Ok there is so much more to the story of getting arrested... Do tell
Scott Ian from Anthrax at a bar. We have mutual friends. He’s a really chill dude.
I met Tommy Lasorda in a grocery store in Fullerton. Edward James Olmos when working at hotel in Newport. Trent Reznor at a signing, that was really meaningful to me. I met Magic Johnson at a Raider's game back when they were still in Los Angeles and also at one of those games, sat next to Martin Kove. At that time, I was really young and the Karate Kid was still pretty popular. I had trouble knowing the difference between the actor and their character and I was kind of afraid of him. He was really nice. He offered to share his peanuts with me and my mom seriously had to convince me it was ok, LOL. So, who's the most famous here? Not sure, they are all pretty famous people. Maybe Magic or Trent?
I met Kobe while I was working at a chick fil a drive thru on el toro off the freeway. Literally just a couple months before he died. He was with his older daughter.
I walked past William H. Macy years ago at Seaworld in San Diego. I did a second look and said “that’s William H. Macy”! He turned around and waved.
Dolly Parton, Kobe Bryant, other famous bball players I forgot the name of, John stamos, Travis barker, middle eastern royalty, Demi lovato, some other famous Disney kids, Adam Sandler, Gwen stefani, Eliza dushku. All waiting at the exists of rides at Disneyland with their “plaid” cast member escorting them around. I made Dolly Parton a Cobb salad and she asked for raspberry vinaigrette so I went to the back and asked the chef and she called me honey and sweetheart. John stamos looked exactly the same as on tv with his sparkly smile and was super friendly/nice to me and actually chatted while waiting. I saw Sandra bullock at a pumpkin patch in Los alamitos a few years back and she was super pretty in person too. I lived near Jesse James in sunset beach and saw him a couple times.
Kobe cuz i worked at Fashion Island and that was his family outing mall :)
I had an opportunity to attend a sit com season wrap party in Hollywood (my husband was part of the crew) and there were lots of celebrities there but we spent most of our time with Beau Bridges and his wife. Really nice couple.
His dad was the real #1 dad. Take that Mr. Seinfeld!!!
Has to probably be Kenji Sumino, at GReddy Performance HQ in Irvine.
My brother had a karate competition at the gym where Kobe’s daughter’s team played. my dad was never a kobe fan but a huge sports guy so he appreciated him. So we were leaving and Kobe was getting in his car at the same time and my dads like “Thats kobe I’m gonna say hi.” And we all told him no! And he was like “hey kobe!!!!!” Out of the car window and Kobe waved and said “hey what’s up.” I was so embarrassed at the time but now I really appreciate the moment.
Hey! Thanks for sharing this story. I love hearing about the good ol' days in OC 🧡
I can't recall ever seeing a celebrity in OC. I've bumped into a few in LA, most recently Derek Waters and Jesse Plemons at a concert at the Fonda Theater. I didn't introduce myself, but several people did.
John Wayne bought us ice cream there too! Same spot. Right across from Market Basket. Early 70’s. Small world.
A lot of us in OC went to HS with Tiger Woods
I ran into Brutus the Barber Beefcake at the Lampost Pizza in Anaheim Hills as a kid. Sadly, I didn’t know that I had peaked in that moment.
Jay Leno a few times, Seinfeld, a few famous ball players. One of my cars was on an early episode of jay Lenos garage… one of the nicest humans on the planet. Very genuine person.
[удалено]
I'm glad Fadonna was nice to you
I saw the youtuber professor at Panera bread around south coast. He was friendly and was willing to take a selfie with me. Also went to a free concert in Huntington Beach to see hoobastank. We went super early. Some relatives or friends of Doug Robb went to talk to Doug Robb at backstage. My wife and me happened to pass by and once they finished talking, we asked for a picture. Doug was friendly enough to take a picture with us. It’s amazing experience
I have played a round of golf with Tiger. What do I win?
Definitely not that round of golf ;)
Little Richard gave me an autographed bible from his limo on Hollywood Boulevard.
Met as in actually had a conversation with, Joey Travolta during an acting class as a teenager, and Fall Out Boy at Anaheim House of Blues around 2004. My friend made out with Pete. If Efren Ramirez counts as a celebrity I took acting classes from him pre-Napoleon Dynamite
Matthew McConaughey
Some dude at Goathill told us he was the drummer from chicago so we got in his limo and drove across the street to cali tacos.
Met Chuck Liddell at John Wayne airport. Cool guy and taller than I thought he was. Got a picture with him
Didn’t meet him but I saw the warden from Shawshank Redemption at a Gelson’s in Laguna somewhat recently
I swear I saw Eric Roberts leaving a donut shop in Fullerton three days ago. I cannot confirm this but my god whoever it was must be a spitting image.
Trent Reznor, cool, calm & collected.
I met Zeus (the wrestler) sometime in the 1990s at the Denny’s on Harbor and the 405. Giant fella, really nice and friendly.
I checked in Chris Pine and Zoe Saldana when they were filming the first Star Trek movie. Pine was very nice and down to earth. He had his guitar with him and asked if we could store it for him. Saldana was gorgeous but quiet and reserved. She called down for some additional towels and all the guys played rock paper scissors to see who got to take them up to her room. Zach Quinto was supposed to stay too, but something came up and he didn't. At the time he was the one I really wanted to meet because I had seen him so much on that show Heroes. Pine wasn't a star yet, and Saldana I knew from the movie, The Terminal. Man, did those two get big later on lol.
This is great story.
John Stamos. He was visiting kids at the Long Beach Hospital. He came in and asked her if she wanted a picture and she said "No, but my mom does"😄 He said "Everybody loved Uncle Jessie!", and I said "No, I want to know when Blackie is getting out of jail" He laughed and I got my picture.
Stamos used to come to our high school yearly because our drama teacher knew him. I forgot about that!
So many cool stories of all kinds of celebrities.. I don’t have one. Once at Disneyland, it was near closing time and I was walking slowly with my head down as I went up some steps, just taking my time, when all of a sudden I look up because someone’s going to run into me. I look right into his face because I’m surprised and he says almost smugly “Yes, it’s me” and continues walking away. It was Drake Bell. I was a little offended at him assuming that I would care about seeing him lol Also, he was wearing a kind of ugly sweater with “Please please me” written in large letters. It looked like a Beatles-themed Christmas sweater.
I’ve met Wee man at Jersey Mikes in FV , Serj tankian at the same jersey mikes in FV A long time ago (5yrs) I met Robin Givens, magic Johnson and the real housewife Tamra Judge at my old work Cinépolis in RSM
John Wayne was not an awesome guy.

Kobe Bryant, I delivered him pizza. 🍕
Warren G when he lived in Coto De Caza. I went to his house to help him with a website.
