It was incredible."by Julia CorriganBuzzFeed ContributorFacebookPinterestLink Recently, I came across a post on the popular Ask Reddit forum from user 22m_spain asking people "who have worked with celebrities, what don't we know about them?" and the answers were so fascinating that I decided I had to share. So, from weird to funny to super wholesome, here are some of the best answers: 1. "Jeff Goldblum knew my name when I was introduced to him. I was working as an assistant (to another actor), and he memorizes everyone's name on the roster. I've heard the same for Tom Cruise. If you ever have a chance to meet Jeff, it will exceed your expectations." Thestewartofny / Getty Images -u/AccomplishedAccomplice 2. "My company hired celebs to entice people to attend our biggest events each year. The opener at one conference was Adam Savage from Mythbusters. He was incredibly kind and engaging with all of us backstage. He asked about my son's academic pursuits and suggested he attend the Colorado School of Mines so 'he could learn to blow stuff up.' It was the most appropriate and delightful thing he could've said." Barry Brecheisen / Getty Images -u/ags_heels_95 3. "Coolio stayed at the hotel was working at probably the best part of 15 years ago now. I checked him in and also brought him up some food and helped him with some stuff in his room. Super chill guy. He tried to give me a few tickets to his show that he was in town for, but I declined 'cause my girlfriend was in the hospital, so I was with her when I wasn't working. He asked after her when he saw me the next day. All in all, sweet guy, tipped well, cool hair." Gregory Bojorquez / Getty Images -u/VictarionGreyjoy 4. "I worked with [Leslie David Baker,] Stanley from The Office, at a [convention] once. This was before I had gotten around to watching the show, so his celebrity was a bit wasted on me. He was incredibly nice and appreciative towards me; it was a very positive experience (not all of them are). He was very nice to all the guests too, but what was special were his interactions with children." Amanda Edwards / Getty Images "After he talked to the parents, he'd ask if he could talk to their kid, and then talk to their kids like they were equals; it was awesome to see. 'Do you like school? What grade are you in? What's your favorite subject? How are your grades? Do you plan on going to college?' He then would really encourage them to do well in school and stuff. I thought it was wonderful! Afterwards, I learned that he used to be a special education teacher before he went into acting. Still out there totally being a supportive teacher, absolutely love it!"-u/silverwick 5. "Played table tennis with Keanu Reeves. There was a table tennis place in the same building where my sister lived in NYC. He was a regular there, and if he wasn't Keanu Reeves, you'd never know he was famous. Totally normal, down-to-earth guy. There [were] loads of questions I wanted to ask, and things to talk about regarding his career, but I just felt like it wouldn't have been appropriate." Tim Mosenfelder / Getty Images, Dragonimages / Getty Images -u/Crystalize444 6. "I came out of a shoot one afternoon and stumbled on the coolest motorcycle I've ever seen (not a motorcycle guy). I was gawking at this beautiful piece of machinery and Keanu stepped outside. He asked me if I ride, and I said no. 'Too bad,' he said. 'I'd let you take it out for a ride.'" Gotpap / Getty Images -u/BosskHogg 7. "Talking with Michael Cera felt like I was hanging out with a longtime childhood friend. He was genuinely interested and engaged in conversation with my brother and me when we were hired to drive a car trailer for one of his films." Central Image Agency / Getty Images -u/itsyouraccount 8. "I've met my share of celebs, but the one who stands out was John Candy. I was a young guy doing a bit part with some friends on SCTV. John was the nicest person, who was so careful to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed during the shoot. He hung out in our dressing room, telling stories. Just a really good guy." Joan Adlen Photography / Getty Images "Eugene Levy was on that same shoot, and he was pretty cranky, but at the end of the day, when we were leaving the studio, he came to us and apologized for being cranky. Completely unnecessary, and a completely stand-up guy."-u/Objectalone 9. "I live in New Zealand, and sat across the row from James Cameron on a one-hour flight from Wellington to Auckland a week ago. (There's no first class in any of the domestic airlines in NZ, so unless you have a private plane, you're slummin' it with the regular joes on internal flights.) I'm a high school film studies teacher, and whilst I'm not the biggest fanboy, seeing
