I visited NYC about 10-12 years ago, and one of the first things I do is head to SoHo to see a David LaChappelle photography show. As I'm going into the gallery, someone is starting to walk out, and he pauses and holds the door open for me... as I walk by him I think, "Hey, that's Bono" and just keep walking. Then I hear some guy yell, "Oh my god, that's Bono!" and the girl with him gave a little scream and they ran out the door after Bono. I expected more mature behavior in an art gallery in SoHo.
When I worked at Universal Studios in the early 90's, my office was under the commissary so I would often see celebrities there. One day, my ex-wife came to meet me for lunch and she stood in line behind Angela Lansbury who was then in Murder, She Wrote... my ex- was a huge fan of the show, and was somewhat star-struck.
I saw Arnold Schwarzenegger just last Sunday cycling down the main street a block from my house... he came within a few feet of me, so I said "Ahhnold" and he replied "Hey". He often cycles the area in the morning for exercise and the fucker once nearly ran me down running a red light when I was crossing.
