What stars?
I once met Christopher Walken very briefly at LGA. Very short and small guy in person. Also met Chevy Chase and Rick Moranis in bars on Long Island. Cool guys too.
Hmmm... you have to remember that I'm 52 and came to LA to train at Gold's Venice in 1980. Back then Gold's was becoming the place to train so there was always a steady parade or Movie stars making the scene. Usually I'd just say hello but occasionally I'd see some of them over and over and they would actually strike up a conversation (I never approach them because I despise "fan worshippers").
I've also been to some social events that had a significant Star population.
So here goes:
David Lee Roth (I had a femal roomate who was a hairdresser and dated David's bodyguard)
Stephanie Powers (very cool lady – I had a nice conversation with her when I was an extra on Hart to Hart)
Robert Wagner
Jaclyn Smith
Cheryl Ladd (I was an extra on an episode of Charlie’s Angles and got a chance to interact with them backstage a little – small talk)
Tanya Roberts
Bronson Pinchot (Played “Serge” in Beverley Hill Cop) he was a regular at Gold’s and always stopped to say Hello – really nice Guy.
Anthony Franciosa (regular at Gold’s)
Tommy Chong (regular at Gold’s)
Lorne Green ( I had a client who took me to the Academy Awards one year – Met Lorne there)
Morgan Fairchild (trained by Joe Nazzaro at Gold’s)
Jane Fonda (Trained by Dave Mastorakis at Gold’s Second street before she started her aerobics studio’s)
Max Bayer Jr. (Jethro from Beverly Hill Billies) met him at a party in Malibu
Sopia Milas (VERY HOT) starred in CSI Miami met her at a Social event
Chuck Norris (he used to train at Torrance Athletic Club when I was training under Rory’s guidance. I used to talk Chuck and his bodybuard all the time. Very nice guy. I planned out a workout program for him.
Bruce Willis
Kim Basinger (I was an extra on Blind Date and met Bruce and Kim on set)
Rachel McLish (went to dinner and dancing with her and a friend, had a phone conversation with her a year ago along with a few e-mails back and forth)
Arnold S. (met him a few times in the early 80’s)
Robert Di Nero (funny story but long)
Pam Anderson (yes she was HOT) met her at a Mall
Eric Estrada (Met him at the same Mall)
Anthony Robbins (I used to staff his events and had lunch with him and his ex-wife Becky)
Richard Jenni (Comedian who committed suicide last year) Hung out with Richard for several hours in CanCnn, Mexico. Tony Robbins event.
Depak Chopra (hung out with him in CanCun as well) Tony Robbins event.
LeVar Burton
Daphne Zuniga
Bruce Jenner (he and his wife were regular's at Gold's)
Don Johnson (I didn’t meet him face to face but, over the phone on a business call. When a business associate told me that Don had a business interest in a project we were working on I thought “just some guy named Don Johnson”. But when he got on the phone and introduced himself, I realized from his voice that it was actually the star.)
Kim Chambers
Scott Styles Kim and Scott used to train at Gold's Redondo - adult stars.
There were a handful of others but their names escape me. Of course I’ve met many bodybuilding “stars” as well.
