It happens so often in NYC that I'm almost blase about it. Literally ran into keanu reeves I'm guessing near his apartment in chelsea (i was drunk, he was smoking). saw clooney filming a scene. Sean penn literally drove by once. Parker Posey was out walking her dog in Greenwich village... Nicole Kidmann and.. Sean penn? in my old neighborhood in brooklyn most of the girls cast (the curly haired fellow eats fallafell near n11th and bedford all the time). Hope davis, scarlet jo, mark ruf., and others are always around brooklyn heights (maggie g her husband too). Amy Poehler always looks angry when I see her storm by on Spring street, which was twice. Upright Citizen's Brigade theater is a great place for star spotting - alec baldwin, many snl vets, and aziz just hanging out.I rarely get starstuck - most of the time it's "woaw, they're tinier than I thought they were." The only time i was star struck was running into Rue Mcclanahan - entire fam is really into golden girls from back in the day and she was just sitting in a coffee shop in the upper west side. My parents were really embarrassing and I apologized, she smiled and said she was flattered and that we all seemed like lovely people. It really was something, seeing blanche in person. Oh, I met the cast and crew of LoTr at a signing, and was a bit star struck by fran walch. She seemed really nice and whip smart, peter jackson and chris lee were warm as well.
