They’re just like everyone else

Kinda

Today, write about the most ridiculous story you’ve ever heard (or been part of) involving a famous person.

I’m making this the prompt today because I recently heard a real whopper from a friend about a famous person behaving horribly. But to answer the prompt for myself, I’d write the story of the time when I was a bartender/waitress in NYC, and someone put up a painting of a legendarily famous actor in the bar. In the actor came a few days later on a slow night, staring at the painting for well over an hour, maybe even an hour and a half, occasionally leaning in inches from the painting and letting out a loud “HA” or snort-laugh or “ahh, I see.” I offered him a drink or water and he didn’t want anything but to look at his painting. Finally, he just sort of announced to the otherwise pretty empty bar that he had to go and snaps out of it and bellows super loudly, “yeahhhh, this place is great” almost singing it and leaves. WHAT ON EARTH? I HAVE NO IDEA.
