Since you chatted for 45 minutes, sounds like he was relaxed and enjoyed the conversation.

No slobbering adoring fan wanting his autograph. A nice change for him.

Had one of those foot-in-mouth moments with Alan Alda ::sigh::...during my time as a check-in agent for Virgin Altantic I also met Anne Hathaway, Dolph Lundgren, Fiona Shaw, The Duchess of York, Bill Russert, Flavor Flav, Katie Holmes (3 times!) and a few more I'm too old to remember LoL

I had Animal from the WWF wrestling team 'The Legion of Doom' out of Marquette about a year ago. He gave me his travel sewing kit after hearing the flight attendant note that a button was loose on my shirt.

I had Geraldo Revera on my plane once. His rose colored glasses were obnoxious.

I'm going with Rebuilt here Duck. I'm sure that anonymity is a rare and welcome change for the man.

Nice story,

I've had a few celebs when I was CRJ'ing at Airlink. The one story that sticks is out is when we had Chris Brown on a flight from MSP-ICT. Our young F/A told us that he'd give us an autograph after the flight (no we didn't ask). My F/O and I just bailed after the shutdown check.

Had Bam Margera and Tony Hawk on one of my flights. They hung out after the flight and told us we could come out to their skate competition the next day. Of course it was a quick-turn. But they were both cool as hell and very down to earth.

Who the heck is Chris Brown? Or am I just old?
