27 Hilarious Times People Didn’t Realize They Were Talking To Tony Hawk (New Tweets)
Most celebrities dream about living under the radar. For example, being able to sit down at a coffee shop and not having to sign twenty-seven paper cups. You know, the little things. The song The Way I Am by Eminem paints quite the lyrical picture of the subject.

The best part is that he enjoys these moments so much, he even tweets about them in a hilariously down-to-earth kind of way.

I sat next to him in a plane trip to New Zealand. Very down to earth and a legend.
He's so great. Also has a wonderful video (one of many, to be fair) on Youtube about all different levels of skate tricks.
So then… being famous (but not recognizable) can be fun… who knew?
