I almost ran into Timothy Dalton with my shopping cart.

[devilgrrl]

:blush:

I said "excuse me" - he smiled.

[DS1]

1. 3rd Best Bond

After Connery and Craig

[Mojambo]

2. I absolutely agree. n/t

[Kajsa]

3. I like him!

You lucky girl, you.;-)

He is a real cutie and not bad
as an actor.

:hi:

deep dark secret- he reminds me
of a former boyfriend.

[devilgrrl]

9. He seemed like a real laid back kind of guy too.

Very attractive, just doing some grocery shopping. He must be in town filming something.

[Deja Q]

4. Talk about living on the edge...

[Arugula Latte]

5. Let me guess. You were holding an open jar of peanut butter.

He was holding a chocolate bar. You collided. "Hey, you got your chocolate in my peanut butter," you purred. Timothy: "No, I do believe that you got your peanut butter in my chocolate, you sexy vixen you." :D



(That one was for those of us old enough to remember those Reese's commercials from the 70s.)

[devilgrrl]

6. No, he was getting a 'Mounds', I was getting a 'Almond Joy'

Sometimes you feel like a nut - sometimes you don't. ;-)

Yes, I too am old enough to remember those weird commercials. :crazy:

[Deja Q]

7. But did you get to feel the nuts?

:hide:

(I remember the adverts too...)

8. My ex once smacked into Clint Eastwood's shopping cart with hers

This was 10 years or so ago, when Dina was still co-anchor at the NBC affiliate in my hometown. Apparently Clint had picked her up after the 11 p.m. news and they stopped at Nob Hill on their way home to Carmel.

My ex had a habit of stuff like that. She also ran into Peter Frampton — literally — before a concert in Albuquerque. She was pregnant, so they let her use the elevator, and he was getting on it as she got off.

[devilgrrl]

10. I almost ran over Dominic Dunne at Rite-Aid!

When I entered the store, he was smack in front of me! As soon as I realized who it was, I looked away and scooched passed him. My goodness, is he small! :wow:

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. I forgot one

Chery took her kids to Disneyland a few years ago (it was the year it snowed down there and the Grapevine was closed — they got stuck overnight in Gorman on the way back), and her younger son got sick on a ride or something. He was sitting down outside a first aid station, and along came an entourage from which stepped Tom Hanks — "Hey, how ya doin', fella? You okay?"

I could almost think she makes up this stuff because it happened to her so often, but Chery utterly lacks the lying gene.

Meanwhile, my own brushes with fame came only in the line of duty — people I interviewed — and are limited to Hall-of-Famer Orlando Cepeda, a 1996 Olympic gold medalist in wrestling whose name escapes me and the former first lady of Kollyforniya, Sharon Davis.

I did know quite a few ballplayers in the minors who later made it to the majors, though.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

13. Tom Hanks strikes me as the nicest guy on the planet.

I need to go hang out in NYC and LA. I've seen maybe five famous people.
I saw Koby Teeth one day, but he's a jack ass.
Duckie

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. Koby Teeth

:rofl:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

34. I so love that you got that!

[Sugar Smack]

14. LUCKY!!!

I love that man. :D

[Orsino]

12. Stephen Colbert sneezed on the back of my neck...

...in a community theater production of The Good Doctor.

[Arugula Latte]

15. Never wash that neck.

:)

[Orsino]

23. Well, we did that play more than twenty years ago...

...so I'm afraid his fake sneeze is long since washed away.

[Orrex]

16. I once passed Michael Keaton on a flight of stairs

He was heading to the local (Pittsburgh) TGIFridays for an early lunch.

I said "Dude. Jack Frost? WTF were you thinking?"

Okay, I made up that last part, but I really did pass him.

[driver8]

18. I ran into Rodney Dangerfield while getting off an elevator one day. And...Lars

from Metallica almost ran over me with his Mercedes SUV.

[mitchum]

32. I almost ran over Michael Stipe a few years ago...

I was driving through a parking lot and said to myself" Damn, that homeless man almost stepped off the walkway right into my path! Wait a minute...that's not a homeless man, that's..."

[driver8]

33. Ha Ha -- that's funny. I saw Gary Coleman at a gas station a few

years ago. I watched this woman step in front of him as he was going into the gas station. I thought, "Man, that woman sure was mean to that little kid....hey, that's Gary Coleman!"

[Blue-Jay]

19. You should have whacked him with a frozen ham for "The Living Daylights".

One of the true pinnacles of suck.

[mwdem]

20. How tall do you think he was?

These actors are so short!

[devilgrrl]

21. He was 5'10"+ pretty tall...

certainly not a jockey like William H. Macy. Now that guy is small!

[spoony]

22. Have you seen Hot Fuzz?

He owns a supermarket in the film. Maybe he took a shine to it and bought one? :P

[RubyDuby in GA]

27. That's immediately what popped into my head when I say the thread title

Awesome movie! His character was great and he was fantastic.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

24. I hear it happens all the time

That's why he has a mini siren with him at all times....

[Shell Beau]

25. Ooooh!! Fun!

:)

[Patiod]

26. Two weeks ago, I ran right into David Morse

He goes to our small suburban gym, and as we signed in, my SO said "I wonder if we'll run into Boomer today" (he seems to be on the same schedule we are - working out at odd times). I trotted off to get some weights, and we both came around a corner at the same time and WHAM. He did not look pleased.

So SO hasn't let me forget it - he picked up a DVD of "Disturbia" at the Supermarket - on the back there's a picture of Morse peeking around a corner on the back - SO waves it at me like it's a puppet and sez "Is it safe? Is that klutzy girl from the gym gone yet?"

I feel bad, because he so clearly wants to be left alone.

[ceile]

28. He's so beautiful!

Is he really as tall as he looks on film?

[Patiod]

29. Taller

I'm 5'11" and he is taller than me - maybe 6'2 - 6'4" He always looks really scruffy and unshaven, but since we see him on weekends, that's normal - that's what my S.O. looks like at the gym on weekends, too.

He never talks to anyone, but most people at our gym don't (except a few hard-core muscle heads that hang around together). Like everyone else, he just has his iPod on, works out, and checks the scores of the ball games every so often. And tries to avoid the klutzy tall girl in the bike shorts and big t-shirt.

This isn't NYC or Hollywood, so I'm not used to seeing celebrities, and it's kind of distracting. One day it was just him, me, and my S.O. in the whole gym, and I just took the equipment I needed and went to work out in the aerobics room so I could concentrate on what I was doing.

[Javaman]

30. Similar thing happened to me with Michelle Pfifer...

This was back in 1993.

it was 2am and I just got off a shoot. I used to shop at this Ralphs on ventura and Coldwater Canyon.

I was wiped out. Just a bleary eyed mess.

I'm sort of pushing/sleeping a cart through, just picking stuff off the shelves when bang! I crash into someone else's cart. I look up and see a person in the similar state that I'm in.

I apologize and say I just got off the set so I'm a little fried. She says the same thing, we both give each other a crooked smile of mutual understanding and go our separate ways, it wasn't until I was in the next isle over that I realized it was michelle Pfifer. LOL

[judaspriestess]

31. I fell in love with Timothy Dalton in Flash Gordon

my all time favorite movie, mmmmm being sandwiched between him and Ornela Muti..... but I digress

I just watched Hot Fuzz the other night. He is most certainly aging well. I think he is gorgeous.

you lucky duck!!
