Meeting pros/celebrities
« on: December 08, 2014, 09:29:51 PM »
Anytime someone meets a pro athlete or celebrity the story is always the same "very cool guy, down to earth, nice to talk to, very down to earth".

I wanna know if anyone has ever met a pro or celebrity who was a batshit crazy asshole.

i play parties in naples, FL a lot.... spend time at the top resorts... I see people that I recognize, or those who are obviously famous, but I really don't care enough to chase them down or take selfies, etc.  Half the time, I don't know who it is... some bald tall wide pro athlete with a fine woman on his arms that just looks superhuman fine, always.  They'll have 5 people milling around them with those smile-too-hard looks.  I don't bother.   

I suppose if I was in an elevator with Lee Haney or Bob paris, I might chat a bit.   Older retired gents just passing the time.  But chasing one down asking for an autograph?   that's silly.  I'd walk right past a brad pitt.   I might see how much taller I am or see if he "makes a lane" for me, but aside from that, eh, nothing that exciting.

Dexter was extremely cool, as was PJ Braun, those are two of the biggest celebrities I know.

Met Stephen Seagull while out fishing and he was a real prick. I gave him some wrong advices as to hopefully ruin his fishing trip.

When I was working at the ABC entertainment center in 84 I trained Talia Shire (Rockys wife) and she was a raving bitch. So bad I walked away in the middle of the session and gave her to another trainer. When she asked what my problem was I told her because she was a bitch. She was a horrible women.

I've met several and yes most were cool but what stuck out most was how they never look the way you think. Like lead singer of Train lives by my office and I see him at this specialty store once in a while and we chatted while in line and dude is really small guy. For some reason I thought of him being taller.

Anyways, back in the Seattle Supersonic days was at a place near downtown getting my car detailed and when I walked in sitting there was Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp. They asked if I knew a good place to eat and I mentioned I was going to the Pho place a block down so we all went down.

Sitting there looking at the menu Gary would not stop talking about his cash flow and parties he went to and then started to talk shit about the staff. Finally Shaun interrupted his fucking vomit and asked about me and we chatted a bit. Gary would make little giggles and weird sounds and shit and just being plain rude and annoying as shit. Their girls showed up and they were polite (and damn fine btw) and we said our good byes.

Kemp offered to pay for my lunch but I didn't let him...I didn't even ask for an autograph as I was never really the star struck type. I think that's what bugged Gary all along... he wanted me to suck his Dick and beg for his autograph and I barely acknowledged him.

Kemp took my number said I should come through for a bbq ....still awaiting that call ;)

Used to do close protection work for VIPs many moons ago. Met all the Stones, ACDC, Ben Harper, Smashing Pumpkins, MJ, Neil Diamond, Foos, etc etc. All good, Diamond stood out as just a humble and really professional genuinely cool guy. MJ was cool too like a big kid, eccentric for sure and way taller than expected). Carlos Santana, very cool (and an idol of mine anyhow). Worked for some super rich corporate types and political figures. Mostly fine to work for and despite some of them having nasty reputations found them very diff to their media depictions. However did find out that some peeps who had really good press and were apparently the nicest peeps were in fact the shits. One political figure springs to mind (I wont name and who has since fallen from grace) was one of the worst of them. He actually said to me when I very politely asked that he get his chaffeur to move his car two yards 'dont u know who I am' jumped up little prick.

Used to be a mgr at a toy store in the 90's and every couple of months stone cold steve austin would come by to buy toys .. I think he was donating the toys to a
Charity or some type of a make wish foundation.. he was a real nice person to talk and very courteous.. he would buy all types of his own wrestling figures.. this was when Austin 316 was at its peak. he was married to debra at the time and she was a real bitch..

David Robinson used to come by also at least once a month with his kids..
Never saw him buy anything.. and just made a mess.. was a real prick..
Would not talk to anybody.. even if you said hi.. he would just ignore you...

i would make a horrible celebrity since im sometimes in a good mood and sometimes im not, so i guess it would be like 50/50 chance which version of me you get  :D chances are if i had people bothering me all the time and you cant sit and have dinner with your girl without people want to take a selfie or even go to the bathroom mood would change from bad to worse pretty quickly...

I've met plenty of pro bodybuilders/ athletes/ celebrities. Between my line of work and the gym, can't say anyone was an asshole in my experiences.

its funny because the guys that supposed to be total assholes and bad asses r the ones who r the nicest in person,when i met UFC HALL OF FAMER TANK ABBOTT at the trump plaza bar in atlantic city back in 2005 he was the nicest friggin guy u could ever meet,straight up. i was shocked cause i saw him at the bar i was expecting him to say something like go fuck yourself or punch me in th jaw or something, but he was soft spoken and super freindly and let me take all the pics i wanted.so was tito ortiz,i was sitting in the V.I.P. WITH HIM AND DANA WHITE IN hooters in manhatten back in 2001 and tito was the freindliest guy u could hope to meet.i got some pics but u guys prolly seen them already since i posted them on the MMA section
