I lived in LA for awhile. I worked at a high end dry cleaners in Calabasis and then later on played amateur poker at high end cash games for a living. I’ll preface this by saying this was almost 20 yrs ago and people mature and change, and of course my past interactions or experiences don’t define who people actually are. Here are a few I interacted with multiple times:

-Stevie Wonder- great guy but his family leeches off of him. At the time there were like 40 people living at his house. Like cousins cousins kids. This isn’t meant to be a bad joke but I honestly don’t even know if he knew that many people lived there, it was nuts.
-Travis Barker- stuck up jerk
-Howie Mandel- weirdo stuck up germaphobe
-Jermaine Jackson- Buys his clothes from Ross, always used coupons for dry cleaning and didn’t want to pay for delivery so he drove a Rolls Royce Phantom to drop off his Ross dress for less clothes
- Denise Richards- stuck up and wouldn’t even acknowledge you and seemed angry a lot
- Reese Witherspoon- the kindest soul and very down to earth
- DL Hughley - he was disgusted I was at his door even though I was delivering his clothes he wanted cleaned. He’s now very open about not liking white people so I guess that would be why
- Irv Gotti- drunk, dependent on gambling
- Anthony Hopkins- Super down to earth and will have a 10 minute conversation with you like he’s known you for years. Love that guy
- Dave Navarro - he’s a little fella with horrible tattoos and a huge ego but if Carmen Electra was my ex wife I’d probably have a big ego too.
- Jose Canseco- He’s everything he’s made himself out to be and more lol.

I live in New Zealand, and sat across the row from. James Cameron on a one hour flight from Wellington to Auckland a week ago. (There’s no first class in any of the domestic airlines in NZ, so unless you have a private plane you’re slummin’ it with the regular joes on internal flights.)

I’m a high school film studies teacher and whilst I’m not the biggest fanboy, seeing Terminator 2 at the cinema in 1991 when I 16 was a big moment for me as a teenage film nerd. So as we were getting off the plane I mentioned how big a deal that film for putting me on the path I am today. He was very nice - said “wow, that was a long time ago” and asked where I taught and made a bit of chit chat as we walked down the gantry. Seemed like a decent guy and definitely made a bit more effort to chat than I was expecting.

Jeff Goldblum knew my name when i was introduced to him. I was working as an assistant (to another actor), and he memorizes everyones name on the roster. I've heard the same for Tom Cruise.

If you ever have a chance to meet Jeff, it will exceed your expectations.

We used to clean Aretha Franklin's home. She was NOT a clean person. Beautiful home but incredibly messy and "hoarder-like". We could only clean certain rooms and everything else could NOT be touched despite being incredibly dirty. Also, when she was home, we could not interact or even look at her.

That shook me.

My wife was an extra on the movie One Chance, starring James Corden, and apparently he was one of the nicest people you could ever meet…

…sorry, I typed that wrong. He was an absolute jerk who treated everyone like a lump of dogshit he just stepped in.

I walked past Craig David on the street in NYC a year or two ago. I didn’t wanna stop and talk to him even though I’m a big fan, but made eye contact, gave him a nod and said ‘my man!’ He nodded back and said ‘alright!’ I never broke stride, he got into the car that was waiting for him. Overall a perfect interaction.

Edit: this is supposed to KEITH DAVID, please accept my sincere, sleep deprived apologies for the mixup. I don’t even know who Craig David is, but KEITH DAVID was super cool in person.
