Celebrities can be Pretty Cool

So today I was lucky enough to meet Matthew Lesko. In case there are any philistines here, I'll let you know that he is none other than the "free money from the government!" guy! He was at my school, encouraging people to register to vote. I talked to him for a minute or two, and he seemed like a pretty down to earth dude (which is almost surprising considering how over-the-top he is in his commercials).
The best part about him was that he was totally cool with everyone taking pictures, and he was even willing do his ridiculous pose that he's so famous for.
He's the one in the money suit, and I'm the other guy, just to clear that up.
Also:
You can't even walk down the street for $2.95
Let's use this thread to talk about cool celebrities and celebrity encounters.

I remember him driving down the beltway in a Question mark covered Honda Element.
I think he brought it but it was parked far away from where I was. I guess he always takes those with him just to draw attention to himself.
Dude, that's like the fourth person to ask me to that so far. I didn't ask him. I kind of wished I could have had a sign made that said "WHAT THE SHIT IS GOING ON!?" and have him hold it, just like that internet meme picture, but there were a lot of people there and everything.
the only celebrities i've ever seen up close were renee zilwhatsherface and george clooney
they came to our movie theater to promote the movie, and we were sitting in the front row, and he's a very handsome man, and she's a pasty troll
Also, one time Will Smith asked my older brother to get out of his way.
I met MC Hammer at the Kodak Theatre.
edit: Didn't speak to Cera but he was dressed just like his character in SuperBad, Will Smith was kinda douche-y, Hammer was totally nice and really cool/friendly.
Also, the dad from 7th Heaven, Tom Welling, Jonathan Taylor Thomas (an ass), and miscellaneous other celebs from random primetime TV.
Oh, and Matthew McConawhatever at a mall once.
So I guess that counts.
Rick Ross was a giant dick, but he's Rick Ross, what do you really expect.
Rob Zombie discussed super-string theory with me for 4 mins. It was surreal.
he was like "are you a big fan of the book?" and i said "Never read it!" then he tried to sell me a trade and I was about to buy it but then he said "here's a free issue" and i was like "okay thanks"
I mean I think they can be interesting people but I don't get all excited when I've seen or met one in person.
Maybe I just haven't met one who was BIG enough.
Secret Satan
That's fucking amazing
I dunno, I think Ron Popeil probably is about as identifiable as Michael Jordan and all he does is infomercials
He was pretty cool but I would think most B-movie actions stars are.
Proabably, but it'd be tough and he might snap a femur.
I also met Thomas Jane and Joe Hill.
I think I already did this, ascot, but you can be famous too.
can and will be!
Did you use the accent though?
More like Robert Whoo am I right guys
how awesome was Thomas Jane
I didn't even bring it up
I was getting his autograph with like 500 other people and he just launches into a rant about quantum physics. He looks up and asks me what I think, I guess expecting me to not know what he was talking about. When I did he immediately ignored everyone else for a couple mins while we talked, then he snapped back into showman mode and moved on.
Isn't he a MENSA member?

My friend got ~2500 bones from them for a college scholarship. They are serious business.
Rosie O' Donald?
It can be very useful for getting connections and opening doors academically.
But it's mostly bullshit.
Very. At ComicCon I was walking next to him for a few minutes before I realized who he was. When I did he looked all tired and weary about fans approaching him so I felt bad. I just said "hey man love your work, have a good one". He was all "Thanks, bud". All smiles now that I'm not asking him to sign my tit or something.
The best part? While he's walking along, he suddenly detours and changes directions out of nowhere...To scope out this chick wearing some anime bikini thing. He just walks behind her for about thirty seconds and then turns around and heads back to wherever he was going.
I shoulda run over and high fived him.
So yeah. Thomas Jane called me bud. It was a special moment.
Any celebrity.
