Have I ever told this story to Chiefsplanet?
I met O.J. Simpson at the premiere of the Phantom Menace back in 1999. We saw the film at the twin towers in Century City. I had a friend buy the tickets in advance, so my wife and I met him and his daughter at the theater.
As we're standing in line, there are faux Darth Maul's and faux Obi Wan Kenobi's doing lightsaber battles. The music from the film is blaring in the courtyard. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Robert Shaprio exiting one of the towers.
The next I thing we all know is that O.J. Simpson enters the courtyard with his daughter and gives Shapiro a huge hug! I don't know what was more fascinating: The lightsaber battles or Shapiro/Simpson! Remember, this was 1999!
Wait: It gets better.
So, we're getting close to entering the entrance to the theater, which was long before seat selection was possible with an online purchase (the only way to go, these days). My friend who purchased the tickets saw O.J. and his daughter go to the back of the line and immediately said "Wow, O.J. is in the back!".
O.J. must have had superhuman hearing. He immediately walked up to my friend, who was directly in front of me in line and said "Do you mind if I
cut inline? It's been a long day with my daughter". My idiot friend said "Yes" and began talking to him about his NFL days.
Seriously guys, you can't make this shit up.
