Celebrity Spotting's?
 

Hello All~
Just wondering if anybody has ever spotted, or encountered any "Celebrity's" on your adventure's around the island's???

Do celebs spot?

Just kidding. Every time I've ever recognized someone famous, I usually think it is someone from my hometown.

I once spent 20 minutes talking with Drew Barrymore and didn't realize it was her until we had parted ways. Mr.GoTravel very recently thought Kristen Davis (Charlotte from Sex and The City) was one of his former waitresses when we ran into her in Charleston.

Go Travel, you made me think of years back, I was backstage at a rock show and Paul Wiley, the olympic ice skater was with an aquaintence of mine. I knew the face, and just assumed we had met before, but had no idea who he was....."So good to see you again. How've you been?"....so now he thinks he knows me, but not sure why....I know I know him, but not sure why...we chat....hours later someone says,,,'Hey did you see that Olympic ice skater??? The sky opens up and I realize that never met him, don't know him, but now I've convinced him that he knows me and he's trying to figure out from where.....and yes luvmaui I have spotted numerous famous and infamous people in famous and infamous places on the islands!

We saw David Copperfield as we were coming out of the Coca Cola store in Manhattan one year. My kids always remind me of that sighting because I kept saying "Look it's David Copperfield. Look it's David Copperfield!" Yea, I was real smooth :D

But that was on Manhattan Island, not Maui!

Or better said, the island of Manhattan!

Yes, Pierce Bronson at the Kauai airport last September. Extremely handsome man. Has a home in the Princeville area.

There is a very long thread entitled "Have you ever spotted a celebrity in your travels" on this board, hundreds of posts.

Thanks, Great start. Sorry I wasn't aware of the other subject. I'll check it out.
BUT, anymore in the "island's"? We once ran into "Sonny" as in Sonny Bono, coming out of a coffee house in Lahaina. Nice man.

This February while waiting in line at the Maui airport, we were in line with Kris Kristopherson. Great looking in films and better looking in person.

Dh and I were at the Ocean Club in Nassau recently and I saw Dustin Hoffman every morning between 7 and 7:30 in the library;
he's an early bird like me and they served coffee at 7 a.m. so there he was, barefeet.

On the second night, we saw him and a large group of young people get into limos to go out to dinner.

The hotel staff said that Robert DeNiro was at the hotel the week before.

travelinwifey, I'm assuming you mean Pierce Brosnan ? lol....

luvmaui71 - I also saw Sonny Bono once. I covered up the hole real quick and promised myself I'd never dig for worms in a cemetery again.

In January, at the Royal Hawaiian, Carol Channing sat at the table next to mine during lunch. What a cutie--she wore a white sailor suit and had her hair tied in pig tails with bright red bows. She was with her husband and agent / assistant. My waiter told me KC & his Sunshine Band were there the week prior--said they were the nicest group of people, great tippers--did a little dance, made a little love, got down at night ;-)

I must not be vacationing in the right spots....:-(

I'd LOVE to run into Pierce. WoW!

I saw Woody Harrelson in First Class and at Kahului, Maui airport from DFW to OGG last May. Very nice, quiet guy. He's very slim and good-looking in person. I worked up the courage to finally approach him at the airport and was having a small conversation until another girl rushed up and "gushed" over him.

GoTravel,
I'm the same. MANY years ago my wife and I were sitting in an orientation, having just arrived at Club Med Moorea. The guy across the aisle looked very familiar; I told my wife I thought he worked in a department store in downtown Portland. When we overheard him say he "worked in film", it clicked that he was Beau Bridges. Nice guy! We later played backgammon and ping-pong together.

Beachbum,
I met Beau Bridges too! I went to college at the U.Of Maryland, in Munich, and he was filming a movie in Germany and came to our little army base to watch Kramer vs. Kramer! I paid for his ticket! Nice guy, very unassuming and friendly.

Scott Hamilton at the gate for a flight from Boston to LA. Chatted for a while until he went to 1st class and I waited for the cattle call.

Richard Gere in NYC standing next to me waiting to cross a street.

I was once a tour guide at Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park in Montana and Demi Moore took a tour along with kids, friend, and nanny.

Saw Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at a grocery store in Kapaa, Kauai in 1986. Funny thing was, he's so tall his head was sticking up over the top of the grocery shelves, so we could see him slowly pushing his cart up and down the aisles.

Pierce Brosnan and family were on our flight to Kauai in March. Very handsome but I thought he looked kind of sickly. We also saw Flav Flav?? in the airport that day. Our kids recognized him butI had no clue who he was.

David Robinson was on our flight to Maui Dec. 2003. We were sitting right behind first class. We didn't ask for it, but the flight attendant asked him for an autograph for our son. He also gave him his Sports Illustrated magazine.

On Oahu in Feb 2002 a few days after the Pro Bowl we saw Tom Brady at a breakfast buffet. Missy Elliott at the big Nike store on Kalakalau Ave and Jon Lovitz at the International Market Place. We kind of stalked Lovitz because he was our "first" offical siting. I didn't beleive my hubby that it was him so we went around in circles and followed him.
