And let me tell you: Their stories have been heartwarming as HECK.

Celebs, man!!!

He was leaving as we were arriving, and I struck up a conversation with him real quick.

It was so cool he is JUST as nice in real life as you think he would be."

“I metZendayaat Disneyland when she was first starting out.

It’s the least I can do.'”

The first time I met him he walked out in plain shorts and a t-shirt, smoking a cigarette.

You’re Cookie’s nephew, right?

5.Stephanie Beatriz

“Hands down my best celebrity encounter was Stephanie Beatriz.

She came into my clinic with her then fiance (now husband) to get help with their pup.

Both were really sweet and awesome to talk to :).

She replied very nicely, ‘Do you watch a show calledBrooklyn Nine-Nine?’

She was so happy when she heard my reply and hugged me while I was holding their pup.”

He gave me a sweet smile and hug (with an autograph, of course).

I was nervous even about talking to her, to be quite honest.

Margot and her [now husband] were EXTREMELY personable we talked a bit about the Rangers.

It was one of the biggest compliment boosts of my life.

We said sure, he paid us to wrap up the restaurant, and in walked Prince!!!

He was married to a Canadian woman from Toronto, so they had a house nearby.

He was a super nice guy, and his presence was very powerful."

It’s my favorite picture ever he’s a really cool dude, and has the softest hands."

She asked if she could touch my belly and asked when I was due.

This was around June 28, and I was due on June 18.

I was so miserable I was like, ‘c’mon, lord no.’

But, you guessed it: My baby came out on July 1.

I was filling a bottle for my kid’s formula, and he was waiting to use the sink.

So we ended up talking dad shit for a few minutes.

He seemed like a proud and engaged dad and a generally friendly chill dude.
