I ran into (literally) a celebrity at lunch time!

My fiance and I ran to the mall at lunch time today because we had to replace the lenses in his Oakleys. We were running late to get back to work on time (he had to drop me off on his way) so we were walking pretty quickly through the mall to get back to the parking lot. We came upon a guy and 3 other people blocking the entire walkway in front of one of the kiosks. I said "excuse me" and tried to squeeze around. The guy turned around, I looked up, and it was Sinbad! I said "oh! hi, excuse me" and walked off He is a tall guy, but not quite as tall as I would have expected in person.

Thats cool!! It's even better you didn't go crazy about him either.

How cool is that!

I've never seen a celebrity before!

Cool!

OH that is too cool! Really neat that you didnt freak out! So how tall is he??

Ok who's Sinbad?

As far as how tall he is.. He was over 6', I would say 6'3" or 6'5" something like that. I was just kind of shocked when I saw him. I wasn't expecting it

Cool. you thought he would be taller? My husband is 6'2 so im going off of that height, thinking taller hehe.

That is so neat though that you saw sinabd.

I guess what I meant was, he looks huge on tv... When I saw him in person though he didn't seem as big. I also think it made a difference because he looked like he lost some weight since I last saw him in a movie. I guess there's just a difference between the way someone appears on tv and the way they look face to face.

Its still cool. Mel Gibson shot we were soldiers here on ft. benning but I didn't get to see him or meet him.

Oohhh Mel Gibson!

Thats too bad you weren't able to see him!

The mall where I saw Sinbad today is the same mall that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez visited only 2 hours after I had been there

He ate at one of my FAVORITE restaurants (The Four Winds) that have these huge hamburgers and not much else.

Well we all need to head to your house for vacaton and hang out in the mall the whole time on CELEBRETY WATCH!!!

Will Young was in front of me in the queue at a sandwich shop the other day and caught me trying to peek and see what filling he was getting

He smiled one of those 'please stop looking at me you weirdo smiles' too!

I'm lucky living and working in London, the blighters are everywhere!

My friend and I met Colin James at a restaurant. We were coming in and he was going out!

Let's just say I basically died ......................................

Being in South Florida, I see them fairly often, especially during the winter when everyone flees the north...
The only celeb that I have literally "run into" was Fabio at OHare airport in Chicago...not as tall as I would have expected...

I forgot about Fabio!

When I was about 14 or so I actually sat on his lap I got a picture taken with my arm around him and then he autographed it
