That is cool. I have a odd habit of meeting celebs on planes or in Airports.

I met Chow Yun Fat in the Atlanta International Airport. He is one of my all time favorite actors, but I think I was the only person who recognized him.

I met Chad Smith the drummer from Red Hot Chili Peppers in the airport in Arizona during a layover.

The best of them was on my way home from my trip to Egypt I had a flight that went from Cairo to Switzerland then to New York, Vegas then home. I got on the plane in NY and the woman sitting next to me was hammered. She told me she was a afraid to fly so she had a few drinks to calm down. About 30 minutes into the flight she puked all over me. Luckily, I had a T-shirt and pair or sweats in my carry on so I went to the bathroom, cleaned up and changed. The airline attendant was pissed at the drunk woman and felt bad for me. The plane was sold out and the only seat left was in first class. They asked the other person sitting in that row in first class if she minded if they moved me up there. She was cool and said it was fine. It turned out that woman was actress Michelle Williams. She is sexy on screen and even hotter in person. She was very cool. We joked about me getting puked on, talked about books and music and all kinds of stuff the rest of the flight. The airline even bumped me to first class for the last leg of my trip from Vegas to home. Getting puked on worked out well for me.

I also met N'Sync in an airport and Salman Rushdie. I met Rushdie because we both got selected for "random" searches. So as we took off our shoes and stood there I looked at him, recognized him and said to him, "I guess they don't know who you are." He said, "Do you?" I replied, "Yeah, your Salman Rushdie right? I've read several of your books." He laughed and thanked me then when he was done and putting his shoes on the security guard with me says to me, "He's famous?" I just smiled and said, "Kind of."
