Living in LA (and Im sure others on here from So Cal will attest), its not uncommon to run into celebs occasionally depending on where you are.. I have run into my share over the years and most of the time I leave them alone. But on the rare occasion that I actually want to compliment them on something they have done or something I enjoy, I will wait for as best an opportune time as I can and pay them the compliment. Usually they will just say thank you and move on. Some are more pleasant and may talk for a couple of minutes (usually hockey players), on a couple of occasions, the celeb came across as if they thought they were too good to talk to you. But Goldberg went above and beyond and was actually extremely friendly and had a great time carrying the conversation many times. The guy is just a great down-to-earth person that actually really enjoys good conversation and treated me like I was his next door neighbor.. lol
Just really surprised me.. Enough that I actually posted a thread about it (and the fact that he is a vintage car fan and has a soft spot for Pontiacs and Firebirds). In current times, you just dont run into people with friendly personalities like that much anymore..
