The POS thread got me thinking about it. Got two that come to mind, mainly cuz due to their persona I thought they would be major douchers.

First one was the boxer Tommy Morrison. My brother and I were in a bar in Houston in the early 90's. I remember it wasn't long after Ray Mercer knocked him out on the ropes and it got ugly. He had two really good looking girls with him and when he walked by I said something about the Mercer fight... yeah, not smart. Ended up having a couple of beers and bullchittin' about all sorts of things. He was real down to earth and not at all what I expected. Life in the fast lane got him tho.

I've met Michael Irvin a couple of times. Both times he was all smiles and approachable as could be. Other than the fact that you could tell that he expected you to be a bit in awe/shock about meeting him, he was nice as could be both occasions.

R. C. Slocum

Dandy Don Meredith.

Chuck Norris. Super good guy. And one of the Baywatch girls. The only perfectly built woman I ever saw. Blond and amazingly beautiful and nice. Can’t remember her name.

Barbara Bush. Bush Sr is a close second.
They may be shape shifting lizard aliens but they were nice to me.

Carloyn Jones..........

Robert Duval

Was working downtown for my Dad in the early 70's (don't remember which year)...we operated our business in an old line Dallas department store.

One day I went downstairs to head out for lunch....as I was walking through the mens department, I overheard two guys asking a salesperson if there was a good barbecue place nearby. He didn't know. I looked a little closer, and it was Fred Lynn and Carlton Fisk.....so I walked up and said "Yep, there is a place and I was heading there....you guys want to go?"

So...had a great lunch with two guys who were as nice as they could be to a 20 something year old. They were in town for a series with the Rangers....oh, and they left passes for me at Arlington Stadium too!

Charlie Hough. nice guy.

Joan Rivers, Only one I've ever met and she was.

Pearl Baily and Louie Bellson (at the same time) at the now gone Bali Hai. Dad took mom and me to Las Vegas while working at NTS to set off a nuke back when they were still able to set off real ones. Mom is a jazz piano player and Pearl, if you know who she was, was a jazz singer. I asked her if she and Louie would drop by our room to say hello to mom and I didnt say a word to mom she was coming. When mom answered the door she about fell down!! LOL

Another time, Robert Redford at the Fuller Lodge when he was in NM filming the "Milagro Beanfield War". He was scouting for a location I think he said. I was running sound there for my mom who was doing a concert there that night and my brother didn't show up to help me set to. Robert helped me carry up my soundboard and then asked if he would mind if he played mom's piano. I said sure, it would help me set the levels.

Honestly, All of them had to tell me who they were because I was never expecting a celebrity to pop in but they did it in a way that was just matter of fact and not conceited in any way. Just regular folks that spoke in a regular way to a young kid at the time.
Fun times -

I met Dick Clark (Austin, TX in 1999, helped him change his tire on 183).

Were you one of those young men who was raised right?

Ted Nugent, he attended a Lone Star Early Bronco Round up at Mason a few years ago.

Victoria Principal; I used to work at the Tom Thumb at Greenville and Lovers. For several years they housed a number of the Dallas cast members around the Village when they would be shooting in town. She would come in once a week and order a full sheet cake and have the names of every crew and cast member that had a birthday that week listed on the cake.

Larry Hagman was nice after sobered up. I was working at the Tom Thumb at Spring Valley and Coit. One morning a limo pulls up in front of the store and he goes into the store to get something. Our Cake Decorator was outside and had never been up close to a limo and she was looking at it. Hagman came out and saw her looking at it and told her to hop in and he had the driver take them around the block.

Back when I lived in CC the company I worked for brought in several Miller Lite Celebrates. I met Jim Shoulders, Carlos Palomino and Ben Davidson to name a few. There were more that I met but those 3 stuck out. All 3 of them were very nice and genuine but the one that stood out was Ben Davidson. He rode up the warehouse on his motorcycle to meet the owner and all the employees. He had ridden his motorcycle all the way to CC from his California home. I was able to spend an afternoon into the night taking him around to many of our customer businesses to do a meet and greet. He was intimidating at 6'8" and had the fearsome look to match the height. He was very quiet and reserved but was genuinely a really nice guy. One of the days at noon we took him over to Joe Cotton's BBQ in Robstown to do a meet and greet and to enjoy the BBQ. He was so impressed by the great BBQ and the employees/owners that on a return vacation trip a year or so later he stopped in again to eat and visit the owners of Joe Cotton's. I have also met both Terry and Bobby Labonte, Johnny Rutherford and AJ Foyt. All 4 of them were hunters and owned ranches in Texas at the time I met them. Terry and Bobby Labonte were both really nice guys. Met quite a few TV hunting "personalities" over the years also. Many of them are quite different in person than they are on TV. Also met George Straight way back when he was singing in bars and dancehalls in South Texas. Met Stone Cold Steve Austin after he bought a ranch in the Hill Country.

Drank a few beer with Hank Hill once. Down to earth an ole boy as you could meet.

Every celebrity I have met has been nice except Orlando Bloom I had to grab hold of his arm and jerk him around to apologize for bumping a lady out if his way without so much as an excuse me. I didn't even know who he was, and he had a Hoodie on. The nicest? Probably Dikembe Motumbo and Don Sutton.

Ditto on Barbara Bush.

And one more....

Was at a cutting at the Young County arena in Graham last summer.....sat down in the stands, and a guy comes up and sits down a seat away....Tom Watson. I am sure I whipped him with stories of watching him play on TV....but truly a nice guy. And quite the transition, from golf to cutting!

Don't know what he was like as a professional golfer, but in the horse business, just a regular guy.

I met Randy Quaid (before he went nuts) in a little grocery store in Wichita Falls. It was a hot day and he was buying two cases of Bud. He was pretty cool.

Ozzie Smith

Steve Nash. I was in Salt Lake City for work. Leaving my hotel room there was Steve in hallway walking to his room. The Lakers were in town and he just finished the morning practice. We talked for 10 minutes before I had to let him go to meet people for lunch. I think he would have stayed longer but I was late. I also saw Dwight Howard that same trip but had a much different experience.

Skinnerback

He is a THF Celebrity Chef.

Also met Big Shot Bob Horry standing in valet line in Dallas restaurant. He was in town for playoffs playing for Spurs against Mavs. He was very friendly as well.
