Sometimes meeting your heroes can be amazing!!!
We frequently had major artists in for listening sessions and to talk to the staff about their music.
So, we are in a conference room listening to his music and having lunch.
I got something stuck in my throat while eating, and I must have looked in trouble.
He asked if I was okay, and I said I was.
He hung out for a couple more hours and we talked for a bit about music.
As he was leaving and saying goodbye, he again made sure I was okay.
So now I tell people that LL Cool J once saved my life!"
She asked, ‘What is it?’
I said, ‘A crystal pyramid I know you must get a lot of these.’
She said she didn’t, and gave me a warm hug.
They say to be careful of meeting your heroes, but not in this case.
3.Dev Patel
“I was an intern forJimmy Kimmel Live!
in 2009, and Dev Patel was a guest.
We talked about ‘normal’ life stuff, and he seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me.
I’ll always remember how genuine and sweet he was that day.”
We were standing outside with her, discussing who should introduce her.
She said, ‘Fuck it,’ and walked into the room.
The kids went silent.
She actually listened to them.
After that, she comped everyone in the center tickets for her concert that evening.
I’ve never been more proud of anyone than I was of these kids.
After the concert, we all went backstage and got pictures with her.
She is super cool, down-to-earth, and a legend for a reason.
Not only fiercely talented but an amazing human being."
This lady came over and pointed out where she thought she had noticed my dog doing the doo.
It was such a ‘normal,’ helpful, and thoughtful gesture.
She rose another notch in my book for sure!"
My boss (a huge Ali fan from back in the day) was visibly in awe.
My dad was in uniform, heading to the Gulf.
I will always be grateful to Jay Leno for that."
I was working security at a certain studio and relieving another officer for their break at the front gate.
At the same time, she asked me if I wanted anything.
I think about what an incredible gesture it was, but I ultimately declined.
She asked again before leaving, but again, I declined.
She kindly accepted my answer, then drove off."
It’s my favorite picture ever he’s a really cool dude, and has the softest hands."

12.Brooke Shields
“A really lovely celebrity encounter I had was with Brooke Shields.
She was honestly and truly the nicest human being and BEYOND stunning in real life.
I was already a fan of hers, and this memory is going to stay with me forever.”
I get SO pee-shy.
Here, I’ll just turn it on for you.'
I also was making fun of him, slamming three or four Diet Cokes and demanding his keys.
He eventually had to go and started walking to the door.
He was a really nice person!"
He was a very polite man, in my opinion."
I was so overwhelmed, I’m surprised I didn’t pass out."
So, his solution was to write Paul Rudd a note and slip it to him.
He started cracking up laughing, leaned over to us, and said: ‘Best note ever.’
We talked the whole flight dude was super cool."
