Celebrities you were disappointed to find out how they are off-screen

[gohawks50]

I haven't run into many celebrities so I don't have any personal stories, but I was disappointed that Mel Gibson is such a jerk in really life. I liked him in many of his movies.

 

[markfromj]

Yeah, most famous people are completely arrogant and think they’re better than us normies. That goes for most people with lots of money though.

You don’t know this, nor any famous people.

Really? The openly racist actor surprised you being an asshole? lol, ok.

I wasn't aware back in the 80s that he was openly racist sorry.

Chevy Chase has had a bad rep for as long as I can remember, kinda surprised op did not know that. A good buddy of mine met Aaron Rodgers once when he was dating Danica Patrick at a rather exclusive Go Daddy holiday party. Said he was a complete asshole, which checks out.

Oh, I’ve heard about Chevy Chase for many years. Seems like these new stories come out every so often with yet another colleague saying what a tool he is.

You are missing the point of the thread.

I agree with you. Solar doesn’t understand the topic.

On the flip side of this, I met a person that has been much reviled by much of the world for the past few decades. Met him about a decade before he became infamous(?) and he was very nice to me in a short interaction. I was at a Rangers game in Texas as a kid and was collecting various autographs in my program, including one of the part owners of the team whose dad was president of the USA at the time. George W Bush.

I met W when I was like 13 or 14. He was nice, but also he was talking a 13 year old.

I think Mel is supposed to be cool as long as he's not hammered drunk.

He's also pretty cool if you're not jewish.

He seems to have a problem with Jewish people though.

 

[Sharky1203]

For me Jim Carrey.

 

[hawkeyealumni]

Spent a few hours with Danny Glover back in 2007. Down to earth, friendly and funny. Great guy.

 

[BrianNole777]

Only when he's hammered drunk, I think.

That scene with Halle in Swordfish will forever be etched in my spank bank!

Check out Monster’s Ball.

Howard Stern used to call and fvck with him. Chevy would get PISSED!!

Gene Hackman and Dennis Hopper were pretty cool with us locals when they filmed Hoosiers here. Barbara Hershey? Can't say the same.

Imelda Marcos pushed me out of an elevator. Not nice but hilarious.

Jerry Parr was a really nice guy. Said most Presidents became nice. JFK was kind to him. Said areagan did not walk into the hospital.

Al Nipper...lost 2 games in world series.was shy. Was a ruthless joker.

Dated Mariah Cary s cousin. She was nice but no idea about MC.

Louis Mandrell...nice when I met her at Pamida.

Jimmy Dean tried to pick up my teen sister as a middled aged man.

 

[Gonolz]

Stormy Daniels.

 

[fezzador]

No. He runs a planetarium. He has no publication history post graduate school. He's a dick to boot much like Bill Nye.

Dr Oz of astronomy

 

[IANDFAN]

I see he’s in a series based on Presumed Innocent? Great book and great movie. Raul Julia stole that movie.

Anyone watching the series? Bueller?

I have, it’s very good.
