I used to work at the Grand Hyatt and the Marriott on Kauai during the summers in high school, which meant I crossed paths with a lot of famous people. Here are some memorable encounters:
•Brad Pitt: Super nice.
•Scott Stapp: Really cool, but surprisingly tiny.
•James Hetfield: Extremely nice.
•Jason Taylor: Really cool.
•Michelle Pfeiffer: Naturally stunning and very quiet.
•Ricky Williams: Total stoner and very shy.
Dave Chappelle
I once ran into Dave Chappelle at 6 a.m. while walking around San Francisco’s financial district. We were the only two people on the street. He noticed me noticing him, but my brain didn’t process who he was immediately. He just gave me a dap and kept moving.
Johnny Damon
I met Johnny Damon at a random bar in the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas (now the Virgin Hotel). He wanted our VIP table, so he offered to buy us a bottle if we moved. He was polite, so we agreed. His girlfriend (or wife) at the time was an absolute knockout. At one point, another girl tried to talk to Johnny, and his girlfriend wasn’t having it. It escalated into a full-on fight—two tiny, gorgeous women in mini dresses rolling around on the floor legitimately tearing each other’s hair out. There were clumps of hair all over the floor. It was surreal.
The Situation
He came into a restaurant managed by a girl I was dating at the time. Total douchebag. I watched how he treated her staff horribly, ran up an $800 sushi bill, and walked out without paying.
Shawne Merriman
I ran into him in an elevator at a pool party at the Hard Rock in San Diego. My first thought wasn’t “person” but “refrigerator.” The guy was massive. He gave me the bro nod but came off as arrogant, brushing off some Chargers fans who were asking for his autograph.
