Blogger Spots Gerry in Philly

Quote :: You know how you always think that you'll be able to say something cool and memorable when you run into a gorgeous celebrity?

Yeah, not so much....

So I'm walking down Walnut Street in Philly this morning, heading over to the Barnes and Noble where I hide out to work sometimes. Just as I cross 16th street, I see three figures walking up toward me, and the one in the middle looks just like Gerard Butler of the Dear Frankie and 300 fame. Since I'm never good at telling people apart (and let's face it, there is an element of wishful thinking here), I just keep staring at this guy, and by this point he's staring right at me as he chats with his companions/handlers. As they get closer, I hear the Scottish accent, I see that crazy sideways talking, and yes, a bit of the six-pack. OMG!

And they just walk by. Not a peep out of me. Not even a "You were awesome in RocknRolla." Not even a "Shparta!" Nothing.

Aah! This is funny.

Yo Members, Out of curiosity:

What would YOUR reaction be?

Subject: Re: P.S. I Don't Know What to Say Sat Jan 10, 2009 9:17 am

Turn a very becoming shade of crimson...and smile...before rushing to the nearest restroom.

Probably the same as the bloggers...except I'd probably manage a hi or a wave or a smile or something. If he was talking, I wouldn't want to interrupt a conversation - especially if it involved business. If he wasn't "mobile" and was at a table somewhere and I had more time to ease myself over there, that would be a different story. But something like that that happens so fast and you're not expecting it...I'd say the blogger did what most of us would do if it were us.

Then we'd be kicking ourselves in the arse later. Oh, you know y'all would be. Laughing

She is lucky, at least, that he spotted her. That's something in her favor. I don't know what I'd do...maybe give him the "thumbs up" and a smile? But, if it really happened, I would probably be all "discombobulated" and just stare at him him with my mouth open! Shocked

Subject: Re: P.S. I Don't Know What to Say Sat Jan 10, 2009 2:18 pm

I think we can only guess at what we would do in that situation. You never really know until you are in it. I'd like to THINK that I would make eye contact and give a sweet, flirty smile and a little wave, but who knows? The moment could happen so fast, by the time you were sure it was him, it could be over.

Nay, I would punch him in the throat and tell him to either work on his American accent or only speak with his Scottish accent from now on in films.
Then I would tell him to quit crying.

What??? Too harsh?

Remind me not to get on your bad side.

Or meet you on the street.

Shocked

Subject: Re: P.S. I Don't Know What to Say Mon Jan 12, 2009 11:37 am

If it were me, I'd smile and say "Hi" and keep going on my way.
Or maybe I would tell him that his fly was down. Wink

Subject: Re: P.S. I Don't Know What to Say Mon Jan 12, 2009 6:12 pm

I think I might ask him if he needs help getting his fly down!!!!!!!

LMAO

Subject: Re: P.S. I Don't Know What to Say Mon Jan 12, 2009 6:13 pm

or up!!!!

She is seriously joking, ladies! No sooner would he start crying, then Dallas would be there with a hankie asking him to blow ... and patting him on the back and offering a razor and some dermabrasion ... all the while secretly following him with her Blackberry.

Hehe...she said "blow".

Subject: Re: P.S. I Don't Know What to Say Sun Jan 18, 2009 2:02 am

Yes, I would probably offer him a razor and some dermabrasion, or better yet a fotofacial. You know how I am about skin care.

I can't stand a weeper with damaged skin. I'm a softie that way.

Subject: Re: P.S. I Don't Know What to Say Sun Jan 18, 2009 8:21 pm

LOL!

Knowing me, I probably wouldn't even notice him. I miss people all the time.

If it's true that G remembers people, then I would be in trouble. I'd probably just stare and watch. If I had my camera, I'd be accused of playing razzi.

I like watching...hehehehe..

I have a secret plan if I meet him out in the street! Don't ask me what it entails, it's a secret, shhhhh. Twisted Evil

Does it involve handcuffs, a guy named Big Tony, and a getaway car?

Subject: Re: P.S. I Don't Know What to Say Tue Jan 27, 2009 6:53 pm

If not, does it involve a Pinto, a smashed burrito, and a cab driver named Guido?
