Stone Cold Steve Austin found my dog that ran away and picked him up off of the highway. He ended up cleaning up our dog and gave him tons of toys before we got him back.

Keanu Reeves. I remember seeing him while walking through New York a long time ago when I was a young, probably very annoying pre-teen. I yelled out, "Yo, Neo!" And then I obnoxiously mimicked the bullet dodge motion from The Matrix. He looked back at me, laughed, and mirrored the same move in acknowledgement. It's such a great memory because I feel like anyone would have been justified in getting annoyed and shrugging this stupid kid off, but instead he was a good sport and humored me. I'll never forget it.

Tom Hanks at Best Buy. He was in line in front of me with a cart full, all by himself. I was only buying a bottle of water because they didn’t have what I was looking for. I just blurted out” Forest Gump is my favorite movie” like a creep, and he turned around, and said “that was my favorite movie to make! I’m glad you love it.” He then chatted with me while about movies as we stood in line. When it was his turn to check out while they were ringing up his stuff he said “oh let me get that water for you” and paid for my water. He kept talking to me and then we walked out and he said “nice talking to you! You’re a very nice young lady and always remember... life is like a box of chocolates.. you never know what your gonna get” in his Forest Gump voice. IT WAS THE BEST THING EVER.

Patrick Stewart. I met him in Stanley Park in June 1991 when I was feeding squirrels. He seemed intrigued so I gave him some food and showed him how to call them over. He is just as nice in person as you would expect him to be.

Tony Hawk, late 90's. He came to our local skatepark for a demo but it was a tiny little indoor park and he couldn't do much. After skating for a bit to appease the crowd, he snuck out the back across the parking lot to the bowling alley. Me and two friends followed him, he invited us to bowl with him, bought us chicken tenders and french fries and talked about skateboarding with us for over an hour. Honestly one of the coolest guys I've ever met, fast forward 20 years later and I get to meet him again at our local skatepark unveiling that his foundation helped pay for and man, he was just as cool. We chatted a bit at the water fountain, I mentioned that as a kid he treated us to chicken tenders and french fries at the bowling alley when I was just a kid, and wouldn't you know it he was like oh in Amity Ct? Wasn't the skatepark called B17? I was simply floored. He went on to explain he was having a rough day that day and just hanging with three little kids bowling and talking skateboarding made him realize just how great life was. Thank you for everything you have ever done for skateboarding Tony!

Went to dinner at Buca di Beppo and at the table next to us was Alice Cooper with family and friends. We made a point of not staring or interrupting, but when they left right after we did, we decided to ask for a photo in the parking lot. I said, "I hope it's not a huge intrusion," to which he replied, "Fans are never an intrusion. People like you have made it possible for me to live my dream, and I'm glad to give back any way I can." Damn if that didn't make a lasting impression on me!

Jack Black. We passed him walking down a street in LA. My daughter says "I swear that's Jack Black!" We doubted her so she yells (he's about 10 yards away) "hey are you Jack Black?" He stops, turns around and says "I am." Then he walked back up to our group, took a picture with my kids, chatted with my husband about Judas Priest (my hubby was wearing their latest tour shirt) and signed autographs. I was with a group of six tweens/teens and he engaged everyone of them in a conversation. So very cool.

A coworker noticed Robin Williams flipping through a book quietly at a bookstore I worked at. It was during the filming of Good Will Hunting so he had a beard and wasn’t so recognizable- she said “I think that’s Robin Williams!”, he looked up from his book smiled and then put a finger to his mouth “Shhhh, I know”

I met Leslie Nielsen when I was around 12, on a film set some family members worked on. He had, unknown to everyone at the time, a little fart-noise machine in his pocket. Not some stupid little one, but a full on, several different 'types' and durations, pro fart-noise machine. When me and my 4 siblings were around him and a bunch of other adults, he would periodically let the thing ripp mid conversation, and then stay perfectly calm, not leading on. Only then to give little eyebrow raises and other funny faces to us kids as no one else was looking, putting us in on the joke but leaving the adults all confused/embarrassed. This went on the entire day we were on set, and I could barely keep from peeing myself.

Met Viggo Mortensen quite a handful of times as he used to go to the restaurant I managed at the time. He was one of the nicest, most down to earth celebrities we had. He would, after we offered, join us for dinner once the restaurant had closed and would bring small gifts every time for everyone.

Bruce Willis. I was out playing golf with a buddy one day when I heard another golfer call up from behind asking he could join us. We said sure and as he got closer we realized it was Bruce Willis. We played 9 holes with him (he's a pretty good golfer) then he bought each of us a beer afterwards. Awesome guy

Paul Walker - Met him about 6 months before he died.. he was eating lunch at a local burger joint downtown (Habit Burger). I'm a huge fan boy and so I did that awkward "Hey aren't you Paul Walker?" thing and he just laughed and said "Yeah bro, what's up?" We talked for about fifteen minutes, just shooting the s**t about cars, surfing, he asked about my skateboard etc. It started as a starstruck encounter but by the time we said goodbyes it was just like talking to a good friend and i'll always appreciate that. I'm not ashamed to say as a dude I cried when I heard about his death and again when watching Furious 7.

Met Jason Momoa at a comic expo last year. Huge line up for an autograph and when i finally got up I gave him a copy of issue #1 of the new 52 Aquaman, he got excited that someone asked him to sigh something not Game of Thrones related so we talked about the new Justice League movies for a few minutes until I was rushed out. At the end he didn't make me pay for the autograph because i was the first Aquaman fan to get one from him.

Walter Koenig was by far the nicest of the Star Trek folks. He collects buttons and asked if he could have the one I was wearing (from a comic book I was writing at the time) and I told him if he gave me his address I'd send him one. He did, I did, and we corresponded for a while. He sends notes on long paper with the title "Chekov List." Great guy.

25 years ago I drove a cab while in college. Picked up Paul McCartney. It was near my mother's birthday and I called her and he sung her happy birthday. Edit: He got in the cab and asked to be taken to the stadium. (he was doing a show there that night) I'm looking at him going I know this guy (I was 23 at the time, never expected a celeb in my cab in Cincinnati). When I realized who he was, I asked to be sure, and he laughed. I mentioned my mom was a huge fan and asked him if he would do it. He asked which birthday song I wanted him to sing his or the other one. I chose the other one. I had a Bag phone in the car, I think it might have cost me a small fortune for that call but totally worth it. If only I had had a modern phone for the camera.

I got bought a beer by Prince William on several occasions. I used to work at a hotel bar around the corner from Highgrove estate and when they were at home would often come in. He was at St Andrews Uni (Scotland) during these years and I would often jokingly refuse to accept his Scottish currency (BTW it's completely legal tender). He would then make some light hearted reference about his Grandmother being on it... Prince Harry used to come in with his mates too. BY GOD CAN THOSE ROYALS DRINK.

I met Danny Trejo in Austin. It may have been because I was a young woman, but he took a picture with me and was adorably sweet. His hand were super soft too!

Adam Sandler was filming a movie by my high school a few years ago. Word got around, and a huge crowd waited around with hopes to meet him and that Napoleon Dynamite guy. They finished wrapping and Napoleon Dynamite guy jumps into a van and gets rushed away without even looking at any of the hundreds of kids waiting to meet him. Adam Sandler walks over to his trailer and waves and walks in leaving everyone who had been waiting around saddened. His assistant announced to everyone that it was a long day and he needed a few minutes and then would be out for autographs and pictures. He came out about 10 minutes later and met EVERYONE there including me. It was so awesome since I grew up loving him. Funny to see a new comer act like a d**k and not meet anyone and a seasoned actor come and meet everyone.

My dad shared an elevator with Snoop Dog in Florida. My dad (50 year old fat white guy) asked him if he wanted to go golfing with him later. Snoop said no, but was really nice about it.

Nelly. Was able to meet him a few times. Each time he always gave me a hug. He also called elders Sir & Ma'am. Very nice guy!

Paris Hilton. Met her at the premier of "The L Word". She could not have been nicer. Introduced herself, asked about what my friends and I all did, seemed genuinely interested, chatted for a bit. She had water in between her drinks so as not to get drunk. The only part about her that sucked were all the leeches that came with her trying to glom on to her fame. When she wasn't being constantly interrupted by people demanding photos and autographs, I found her very down to earth and clever. The whole s**t she does to be famous seems to just be an act. I never thought of her as an idiot again.

I walked past Conan O'Brien on a street corner in Greenwich Village, NYC. I am a HUGE fan, so I double backed to say hello. Conan was with his wife (this was approx 2 weeks before the NBC fiasco went public, so he was probably stressing about that) and I was with two stoned friends. So I'd forgive Coco for being dismissive... but he was not. He was as friendly, approachable, and genuine as he appears on the show, if not more. He gave us several minutes of attention, he spoke to us, looked at our eyes, listened, joked, he was the f**king man.

I met Michael Cera at a bar in portland. I had a mutual friend and decided to say what's up. He was really cool, and asked about the girls I was there with. I informed him that I had just told the girls that I was friends with him and asked if he could laugh really loud like I was funny. He erupted in laughter while waving to the girls. I offered to buy him a drink but he had just got one, which was good cuz i was broke. I went back to my table like a f**king boss. I credit him with me laid that night, such a team player.

Chuck Norris, I was working at a movie theater and him and his family came in and came to my counter to order concessions. Super nice and seemed very loving with his kids. He thanked me for treating him normally. He also paid in exact change.

I was having dinner with my family for my cousin's 21 at a fancy hotel restaurant and John Travolta walked in. He stopped by our table and said "Happy whatever the occasion is." We told him it was a 21st, and he waved goodbye to us and walked over to his table.

I met George Clooney/Ryan gosling "on set" when they were filming ides of March at my college. I wasn't really paying attention and somehow blended in with people while I was on my phone and ended up in the lunch area for them since it was a building I usually cut through. How no one stopped me before I ended up there was beyond me, but I saw this food there and being the poor college kid I was, decided I'd try to sneak some food from whatever this event was. (Usually events going on in that area don't care if you take food since they are trying to attract people.) so I'm walking out past the tables and it was like bam. Clooney there at the table casually chatting and I'm like "holy s**t, George clooney!" And he was like "holy s**t, that's me!" shook my hand. Chatted for a bit, then he waves over security to escort me out lol. Made sure they just escorted me out , Totally classy the whole time. I think the backpack gave it away that I was not supposed to be there, just glad I wasn't charged with anything.

I met Steve-O at one of his comedy shows, he was so sweet and offered to stay as long as needed after the show to take pictures with every person. He then posted all those pictures on his website!

James Franco had just left the cafe I worked at right when I walked in to get my paycheck. I left my dog tied up outside at a bench by a fence and came back out to see him petting her! He was a nice guy, I was really surprised.

Nick Swardson was playing at this college in my town (before I ended up enrolling) and I was told tickets were for everyone but it turns out, when I got there, that they were for students only. So while everyone was being let in I'm trying to find a way to sneak in or something. After a 15 minutes of wandering looking for a backstage door I saw a door slightly cracked and as I passed it I saw Nick sitting on a couch. After a little self debate I decided it couldn't hurt to just walk in there right? So I went up to the room and just walked right in. Everyone immediately looked at me and after a short pause Nick goes "What's up?" and I respond with something like "Hey I don't go here but I'm a big fan and I wanted to see your show but It's sold out" so he responds by saying "Really!? Wow" he then turns to one of the kids who set it up and asks "Is it cool if he just stands on the side of the stage or something?" This kid then responds back with, and I'm not joking "If that's your wish" and then Nick said to me "Yeah as long as you don't scream and try and stab me or something it's cool" I didn't end up standing on stage but I did get in for free.

Daniel Bryan was very friendly. Met him at the Calgary World of Wheels and brought him my ROH replica title. He got a kick out of it. "Wow I haven't held this belt in a long time haha, should I sign it as Daniel Bryan or Bryan Danielson?"
