I'm not that famous hah but Tom Cruise lived close to one of my properties in South London when he was with Nicole Kidman.

Did you ever get a chance to meet them or talk with either one of them? I like most Tom Cruise movies. She's great too.

I may or may not be the hot dog champion on the world. Don't know if that's famous though...

I've treated a Medal of Honor recipient, two who've earned Silver Stars, and enough Bronze Stars to lose count. Some great stories (and some awful ones) but my fav was the guy who was Elvis' chauffer around Berlin back in the day.

Hot Dog Champion of what? Eating them or cooking them? Or something else?

My son is an actor who has a main role in a very popular BBC TV show currently! His agent was supposed to take him to meet some casting directors in the US this summer but, due to covid, that’s been put on hold. That’s all I’m going to say as I don’t want to embarrass him LOL!

Here is another almost non-work story I can probably talk about: I did a project for an up and coming actor so I got invited out for drinks one night at this bar that is known to be a low key hangout for celebrities. I go and meet some of his friends plus his girlfriend and another actor who is actually really famous. I've actually met this actor before so as we were introduced I mentioned where we met earlier. He was a total dick and pretty much blew me off which is weird because he actually met my wife as well, and she said he was very nice to her. I guess not having tits and not being a celebrity means I wasn't worth his time. Jerk.

Anyway, I don't make a big deal of it, but this guy is actually cock of the walk that night and everyone else in the bar is hanging on his every word. Celebrities don't really impress me too much since I work with them all the time, so it's no big deal. I grab a drink and the girlfriend approaches me. We talk for a bit, I ask what she does, surprise surprise she is an aspiring actress as well. She hadn't done anything big yet, just small speaking roles, I wish her luck and she asks about what I do etc... you know, a normal conversation.

Cut to maybe a year later and I'm at the movies with my wife and the trailers are rolling. A new high profile movie comes up, my wife is excited because it's one of those "chick" movies that was heavily anticipated. The main actress pops up and she looks very familiar. When the name comes on screen it clicks: it's the girlfriend! She looks almost completely different mind you, that's movie magic, but it's definitely her. Since then I've been rooting for her in her career. It's nice knowing that she is genuinely a good person that didn't mind talking to the non-celebrity at the bar that one night.

Since you're giving a compliment, please do tell who this actress was. I understand if you don't want to say who the jerk was (but we'll forgive you if you do)!

If I said who the actress was it would be very easy to identify the rest of the party. But I will say that said jerk was one of the actors knocked down a few notches in past few years by the #metoo movement. No surprise there.

In the spirit of positivity I can say that one of the nicest and most interesting celebrities I've met is Jeff Goldblum. He's literally what you expect. Super quirky, always has something interesting to say and seems to be in constant wonder in everything that happens around him.

I've heard the same of Tom Hanks. My parents ran into he and his wife on two separate vacations.

Thanks! These stories are technically outside of my profession and not covered by an NDA. If I can remember some more that I can legally tell, I'll post them!

My wife was an RN while he was in the hospital for a leg injury from a film he did. She says he was a sweetheart and everyone loved him and his wife because they were so pleasant. A lot of celebrities were patients at her hospital so they had a good barometer. In a related story, Gary Sinise (Lt Dan!) was visiting and was also very nice interacting with my wife.

I'd say my cars are pretty famous... haha

Other than that, I used to date Dua Lipa when she was still modelling many years ago...
