    Film Industry guy here:

    I've met quite a few celebrities over the past few years, but a few that stood out were Ryan Gosling and Peter Dinklage.

    Some of the nicest human beings I've met. Incredibly humble and will chat about anything.

    I had dinner with Regina Taylor. She stopped by our apartment beforehand.

    Also lived in the same building with Roger Bart and Kelli O'Hara; they lived in the apartment next door to us, albeit at different times.

    Is Trevor Ariza considered a celebrity? I ran into him walking in a random neighborhood in Portland.

    not only I have met so many celebrities I did also drive their cars , early 2000s new to US/Houston I worked at Phoenix Night club as a valet guy :) hussling to pay for tutions over the weekends ,
    It was a Black nightclub owned by old Persian couple, two 6'10 cops on site, so I recall the following:from scattered moments,

    Shaq: he tips 100$ on his way in and more on his way out, didn't talk much


    Robert Horry: he was very unsuperfical person when comes to dating ,looked taller than Shaq with his slim frame ,

    Kenny Smith: grumpy unhappy to pay but will flash big smiles if he sees someone he knew as he enter the club

    Nick Van Exel: same with Kenny but he seem to want to nock you with his forehead

    Roddick Rhode: super nice , was surprised I remmber how he played against Jordan, told him all I knew about American sports was Jordan/Chicago Bulls and he did great against them

    Mario Ellie : no opinion

    a White convertible Bentley parks always on fire department lane/outlet, the Cop shout outload : If anyone touch this car I will shoot!!!... that was Scareface (1st time I told him I don't see any scare??)

    a thug in Homvee with secret service like bodyguards with bullet prove vest who exaggerated their acts to make a show,they pushed me away ,so I went to the cop to complain, he asked : Did you touch their car???? (No), I think that was Puff Daddy.
    Beyonce, JayZ and the smallest of Distney Child seen them a few times. many NFL /Baseball players I didn't know.

    also a short bold white(tomato red) bulky dude who wear black c-suit who would talk to every women in line( some time he get a chuckle,or often slapped) was a celebrity pimp

    Not counting athletes, Lizzo is probably the most known. This was in high school.

    Sat next to her during some elective back at Elsik. Cant remember the name of the class but it was some elective about media or media production. Dont remember her saying much but do recall her always carrying a clarinet or a flute. She was friendly.

    Road down the elevator and chatted with Richie from The Bear this morning. Got a restaurant recommendation. Seemed like a nice guy.

    I couldn’t remember his name for the life of me, so I just said, “are you who I think you are?”
