“I went to university withRachel McAdams(York U, she was in the theatre program).
She lived in my residence building and we were casual friends in an extended friend group.
She was super nice and everyone knew she was going to be a star.”
After I graduated I ended up seeingMean Girlsat the theatre and was blown away that I actually knew her.
She really deserves the life she has.

He was at the hotel bar my girlfriend works at, on the phone most of the time.
Seemed sort of introverted but polite.
Gave me a dart and a friendly nod, also probably appreciate not having his fame acknowledged.”
