I used to bartend at The Lion King on Broadway and I initially denied Bruno Mars a drink because I thought he was a teenager.

Myself and my friends were at a museum in Vancouver.
Some of my friends were a little bit ahead of me looking at totem poles, and I was a little further back taking pictures. All of a sudden I hear one of my friends screaming my name. When I looked at her she was waving her hands around and screaming something at me. I was super confused and tried really hard to understand what she was saying… Then she started pointing at the man standing beside me screaming ‘ITS ROBERT DOWNEY JR’ and when I looked up at the tall man staring back down at me, I realized it was actually Hugh Jackman. I just smiled at him and his wife Deb and ran away. It was awesome.

I met Owen Wilson at a hotel bar at a wedding. I had accidentally crashed a wedding earlier that night and it would’ve been the perfect timing to mention Wedding Crashers but nooooo when I was introduced to him (while wearing hotel slippers) I said “Hi Owen, I really loved your work in Marley and Me”. He responded with “Thanks, I don’t hear that often”

I got box seats with my friends while we were in New York to see Daniel Radcliffe on Broadway in “How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying”. His character starts below the stage in the orchestra area so we could see him prepping before the show started. He looked up at us and I was so star struck I didn’t know what to do. In that split second my mind decided to blow him a kiss and he IMMEDIATELY turned the other way. I was embarrassed for the rest of the show.

I was next in line in a bathroom at a fancy NY restaurant and someone was taking a lot of time in the women’s bathroom and I really had to go. When the door to the man’s opened it, Justin Timberlake came out of it and I let out a scream (like a banshee) right on his face, he laughed and I proceeded to enter the men’s restroom with a lot of shame.

My sister had to use the bathroom really badly while we were on the lower east side of Manhattan. She ended up using the bathroom in the lobby of this hotel so my dad and I waited outside the hotel for her. I was standing in front of the door looking at my phone when I heard my dad go “Maya, move”. I wasn’t looking where I was going so I moved the wrong way while still looking at my phone (I was playing a really good game) and bumped into someone while they were walking into the hotel. I just said “sorry” and didn’t even realize who it was cause I was still on my phone. They didn’t say anything either so I didn’t bother to look up. Afterwards my dad said “Do you know who that was? Maya…you just bumped into Mike Tyson”. I looked through the glass doors and surely, it was Mike Tyson.

When I was 14 my family took a trip to Malibu. One night we went to this fancy restaurant on the beach. There were these cute decorative flowers on the tables, and I decided to eat one (I have no idea why). I turned around with the flower still in my mouth and saw CAITLYN JENNER looking at me. Of course, I was embarrassed, but I wasn’t too worried because I told myself that I would probably never see her again. WRONG. Two days later, same restaurant, I see Caitlyn Jenner again. Awks.

Not me but my mom. When she was 19 she worked at a pharmacy and a woman came in for a prescription. According to my mom she was in regular clothes with no make up on and her hair a mess. The name on the script was “stevie nicks”. My mom says, “oh wow thats so cool, just like the singer” and the woman just smiles and nods. Turns out it actually was stevie nicks and her limo was outside lmao.

I regularly see this attractive man at the gym. I started giving him ‘the eyes’ and thought I was getting them back. I don’t normally wear my glasses into the gym but on a day I did, I strutted over and handed him a note that said, ‘into fit petite blonde girls? If so, call xxx-xxx-xxxx – My Name.’ He kindly replied, ‘this is really funny and I’m sure it’ll work on someone but I’m engaged.’
I went to laugh about it with a girl at the front desk who was shocked and told me I shamelessly hit on Jeremy Renner.
Now he and I just nod and smile. Apparently he’s really famous and I have really poor vision and judgement

I was at a concert I was working and I had been drinking all day. Suddenly Michael c hall came into the room and it was my job to greet him. So I went over to say hello and sit at the table. Just then the bartender came over with four shots and handed them to us saying “those girls at the bar bought these for you”. Michael turned to me and offered me the shot. There was no way I was going to say no to him so I took it. That’s the last thing I remember. Apparently I talked about lollipops I had found in the bathroom? I woke up in a friend’s house the next day mortified.
