So I'm standing in line at the grocery store today...

I'm in the express checkout. I casually look behind me, at first glance I notice a short asian man standing behind me. Something clicks in my head, I think I know him. A few seconds later I look again. I KNOW this guy from somewhere. The pharmacy in the grocery store has pictures of their employees on the wall, I'm still a little confused but I think thats where I recognise him from. I forget about it, pay for my item and leave. I'm in my car leaving the parking lot 2 minutes later when it dawns on me, the short asian man WASN'T a pharmacist, it was ANG LEE. WTF. I dismissed him as a pharmacist and walked away. Somehow I feel racist.

Furthermore, my sister is a lifeguard at the local rec/leisure center, last week shes walking through the main lobby and just casually walks past Clint Eastwood.

I live in a pretty small buttfuck nowhere Canadian town just outside of Vancouver. Strange week. I assume Tom Cruise is buying a mansion here for Scientology worship next week.

If only there were some thread, perhaps STILL ON THE FRONT PAGE of the Other forum, about meeting someone famous and not knowing it, where you could have posted this.

Naw it was him, he started filming Life of Pi: 3.15 a couple weeks ago.

I had no idea Ang Lee's son was the guy in Hangover 2.

You can open your eyes and tell that he isn't. Paul Giamatti is.

True fact: he's only 24.

So, let's try to figure this out.



Was the guy you saw wearing a white lab coat or was he in a tux and holding an Oscar?
