[quote=Anonymous]I’ve never seen a celeb in my everyday life, on planes or on the street like many of you have. Am I not looking around enough or just unlucky? Off the top of my head, here are some famous person encounters I had in my 20s, from a first job kind of thing:

John Cusack: Came into the office where I worked for a meeting in the days when all the girls my age had a crush on him. Absolutely the nicest celeb of all. Not even a speck of ego/arrogance; was kind and thanked me for my time.

Andrew Shue (during the height of Melrose Place): At a party; a few fans were around him. My friend was a huge fan of the show, kind of gushing and wanted a pic with him. He obliged but he was scowling and clearly wasn't happy to be there.

Oprah: She was so tiny in person. It wasn’t just that she was probably going through a thin phase, but her height, overall physical presence, was much smaller than I had imagined. I thought she was really attractive.

Tom Hanks: He had that vibe of an actor who thinks the “low-level” people shouldn’t make even momentary eye contact with him.

Dave Letterman: Was giving him and some of his assistants a tour of our offices. He made insulting jokes about my boss, which I found inappropriate, given the status of my boss, whom I had  & still have a lot of respect for. Others remarked how he had an entourage of only 20-somethings and there was a weird power dynamic going on. I’ve read he has mellowed some now that he’s no longer doing the show and living in Indiana.

Matthew McConaughey & Ashley Judd: At a movie premiere after-party. MM was, of course, great looking in person (back in the day). Thought he might have acted a little more laid back/down-to-earth, given his Texas/Southern charm image, but he buried himself in a conversation with Ashley Judd, which effectively shielded them both from any slight interaction with normies. She was also gorgeous and had the best skin I’ve ever seen. Absolutely glowing.

George Stephanopoulos: A friend and I got invitations to an event with media people, DC  & LA celebs. There was a Vanity Fair after party that was only for the VIPs. We were hanging around outside the hotel, had taken our heels off because…grass,  and were tip-toeing around trying to sneak in the back way. George S came out, looked over at us, laughed a little and said something like, hope you 2 get in and have a great time. We did get in, but by the time we got there, all the LA famous people had already left and were really the only ones we were interested in. Nice guy, but what 20-something is interested in Wolf Blitzer?

I think it's interesting that the most famous of the DC types (like President Clinton mentioned here) often crave talking with regular people while the LA types who act or entertain for a living often seem to think of themselves as above it all.
