Scarlett Johansson back in 2011 at a Starbucks.
Super sweet and really bubbly. Thought she would come across as a bitch or standoffish, partly because it was early in the morning, like 5:30-6:00 am. Not at all, she was so nice. Made her laugh after I told her I was a huge fan of one of her earliest films, Home Alone 3 (which really is one of my favorite childhood movies).
She just had this charming aura about her.

Adam Savage from Mythbusters. I met him at a White House science fair a few years back and got to talk to him for a bit. He was really nice and easy to talk to (and does actually wear the hat out and about). I told him that watching his show with my dad as a kid was part of what made me want to be an engineer and he actually got really excited about that. Just a super cool guy overall.
Obama and Bill Nye are also very nice.

Met Weird Al at a film screening a few years ago – I’ve been a fan of his since I was 8 and he’s legitimately an influence in my own music/comedy.
I saw him when I sat down which happened to be right in front of him. I heard him introduce himself to some older ladies who had sat next to him, just very genuine like “Hi, I’m Al!”
I turned around and said hello, said I had just seen a show at the Greek and said it was great, and said this is a great moment of my life and he cracked a joke and said something like “well I guess your life hasn’t been THAT awesome!” or something like that. We took a selfie and shook hands and it was awesome. jkvandelay

Taylor Swift – met her after the 1989 show in my city. Super nice and easy to talk to, felt like we were old friends. But what was crazy was she knew the guy standing next to me just from Tumblr (this was back when she used it a lot and he ran a TSwift fan tumblr). She knew his name, knew all these personal details about him and was really excited to meet him! It was very sweet.

Kevin Hart
I worked retail in early 2011, and there was this guy who needed some clothes shipped to Atlanta, and I hooked him up with a surprise discount, and he was grateful. He then asked what I was doing that night, I said nothing, and the guy introduced himself “I’m Nate, I’m Kevin Hart’s manager, he’s performing tonight, here’s my card, I’ll get you in for free.”
So I go that night, thinking I’m just going to go watch the show, but Nate sees me, bring to the VIP Lounge where Kevin and 2 other opening comics are drinking Ciroc & Pineapple Juice, and Kevin was the chillest dude, really nice, talked about Philly, comedy, etc., and the show was basically his ‘Let Me Explain’ material.
Mind you, this was early 2011, so it was right before he took off, but it was still cool.
Nice dude though!

I knew Shaquille O’Neal in college occasionally. I wasn’t associated with the athletic program at LSU but had friends who were, so I ran into him often enough to kinda-sorta get to know him.
He was a huge goofball back then too.

I checked John Mulaney into a hotel room once. He wanted to pay for someone else’s room so he was at my desk for like 5 minutes while I set that up. He’s a genuinely nice guy. rebrandingmyself

Bruce Campbell of Evil Dead fame.
Tall as fuck, and really cheerful. I was working the front desk for Newbury Comics’ corporate office and he and his assistant came in. I didn’t even process the name when his assistant said it, just called back to the buyer whom Bruce was meeting. Then it hit me: “Wait. The Bruce Campbell”?
Bruce is standing to my right, looming like death. He smiles, extends a hand, laughs, and asks me my name. I made the requisite boomstick joke, and he also laughed at that.
Much better behaved than Juliette Lewis, who showed up so drunk she couldn’t walk down the ramp in front of me. carnot_engine
