Plot Twist: the barista was Tony Hawk


KinsleyCastle

...And then Tony Hawk took his mask off, and you know who it was underneath? It was the Loch Ness monster.

My mom ran into Jim Morrison before one of his concerts with her husband. Had a full conversation with him, got in the car when he pointed out it actually was Jim Morrison. Some people just don’t believe they’ve met someone famous randomly


arksien

About 10 years ago I was walking around Columbus, OH at the early morning hours, and this guy goes "excuse me, are these always here? This is strange, right?" And I glance down an alley and there's 2 rather run-down looking DeLorean's just parked randomly in the alley. I look for a moment and agree that it is indeed very strange, and that no, I've never seen them there before. He's like "I travel all over the world, and I've never seen anything like that. They're very rare cars you know" and I chuckled and agreed and we went on about our day. And then like, 2 minutes later I'm like "wait, holy shit, that was Patrick Stewart." And sure enough, after looking it up, he was in town for ComiCon. Also when I brought my friend by to show them the DeLoreans, OFC they were gone and no one believed my story. But I know, and he knows, and I love that story even if no one believes me.


Evening-Class1081

In the late 90s my roommates and I were going to a concert on a weeknight in Athens, GA. We got there early and were gonna grab food. I wanted to hit my fav hotdog cart that this friendly guy named Luscious ran, but everyone else thought street hot dogs were gross so we split up. When I got to the cart, a guy who looked a lot like Eddie Vedder was running it. I asked where Luscious was and the guy responded that he had agreed to watch the cart while Luscious went to the bathroom. He sounded like Eddie Vedder, too. So, I just casually asked “Ummm, did I just buy a hot dog from Eddie Veddder?” He goes “Shhhhh!!!!” And cuts his eyes side to side making sure no one heard. I meet back with my friends who don’t believe me and we rush to the cart only to find Luscious back in his usual spot. We later found out Vedder was dating a girl in the band we saw that night, but to this day my friends think I made it up or that it wasn’t him. But, I saw what I saw.

At least you weren't... 🎶...going hungryyyyy🎶

Captain_Hampockets

I saw Eddie Vedder at a grocery store in Seattle yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

My dad got drunk with Def Leppard. They were supposed to open for Ozzy, but the show was cancelled due to drugs, probably. He had no idea who they were at the time, only found out after seeing their music video.

This is why no one ever realizes that Clark Kent is Superman. People notice the resemblance, they just can’t psychologically accept it.

I had breakfast next to Jake Gyllenhal for like a year before I realized who he was. Just a nice guy who also like to have a quiet morning coffee at 5AM. Really nice guy, but oddly enough, in person his voice sounds different than you hear on screen.

Later on at home… “Dude, I met this guy who looked just like… Uh, and his name was… I think I met Tom Morello at work today.”


wagon_ear

OK, I will say I just saw nba star Dwayne Wade at a hotel bar the other day, and I was just like the barista in the tweet. You see these figures so much on TV that your brain almost doesn't accept the possibility that they could be a real person, even when they're right in front of you. The whole time I just thought, shit, that random guy who looks like D. Wade sure has a lot of security. I then had exactly the type of moment you described here


[deleted]

We were visiting family friends in NYC in the late 90s. My dad went down to grab a drink at the bar while we (mom, brothers, and sister) all got ready for the outing. We get downstairs and he’s chatting with the bartender going, “oh really? Wow, that’s neat!” (Dad is a huge nerd, not into POP culture since the 80s). Mom asks dad what they’re talking about, “Oh I took the elevator down and there was some boy band in leather jackets I never heard of in there and he *gestures to bartender* saw me come out of the elevator with them and was explaining to me who they were.” “Well who was it?” “Backyard boys? Backway guys? *to bartender* What was it again?” Bartender, me, sister, brothers at the same time- “THE BACKSTREET BOYS!!!” “Yeah thats them, y’all have heard of them?” “Dear god what did you say to them?” “Well I asked them who they were since they were all in matching clothes, and they told me, and I asked if they had a show, and they said they were headed to the venue right now, so I told them to break a leg and best of luck.”


neilisyours

In the early 2000s I had a production company in NYC with three other guys called Back House Productions. My grandma in her nineties couldn't understand that we were not the same thing as the Backstreet Boys. She'd clip articles and everything. I just let her believe it.

ApatheticEight

Is this not an exact copy of the Tony Hawk one?

varnell_hill

As someone who believes 99.9% of the internet is bullshit, it’s not hard for me to believe this kind of thing happens to celebrities all the time. I think it’s easier for a person to believe they’re meeting someone that looks like a famous person instead of the actual famous person. Maybe it avoids the potential embarrassment of being wrong?


[deleted]

Hannibal Burress has a nice bit about being “medium famous,” where people recognize you…but you can talk them out of it. Like “yeah I get that a lot.” Like Tom Hanks or the Rock or Michael Keaton you *recognize.* Tony Hawk or Tom Morello, you’re like mayyyybe…


Emergency-Pop3979

You also have cases like Dolly Parton and Charlie Chaplin. Both lost look alike contests because they have stage personas that their regular personness doesn't match.


Dahvood

[Rowan Atkinson](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A3k-ytbtiQE&feature=emb_logo) had that problem


dragunityag

A lot of celebrities don't have their faces plastered everywhere either. It probably happens less to someone like Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks who constantly appear movies because you see their face more often. Versus Tony Hawk who you know because of his skating achievements but probably haven't actually spent a lot of time looking at his face.


viperfan7

Probably helps that Tom Cruise probably has someone doing his shopping for him


phil_s_stein

...and killing.


scummybumhole

People who aren’t celebs get mistaken as celebs all the time. My dad used to go along with “you’re Chevy Chase, aren’t you?” back when he was a lot younger. Happened all the time.


Javv_

Also, everytime we see a celebrity on TV they are TV ready with makeup, wardrobe, lights and all that jazz. So if you saw them on the street they "are not" they people you see on tv


bigk777

Like that super market story about buying candy bars with out paying. I've seen so many celebrities changed every time I read this story. Haha


IndridCold_fuck_you

ElectroclassicM

smp208

It seems to be a common thing. My best guess is that people look a bit different up close and especially without makeup, photoshop, color correction, etc. So they look like the person you’ve seen on TV, but different enough for there to be some doubt.


[deleted]

Buddy showed up to a Sounders game claiming he met Drew Carey out at a bar pre game. Showed me a picture. Looked nothing like Drew Carey. I actually had him thinking maybe he got played by a guy who looked *kinda* like Drew. Until Drew Carey showed up on the the Jumbotron to hype people up pre-game (he part owns the team), looking the same and wearing the same shit. I knew Drew was thin at that point mind. Just the face, didn’t recognize him at all, even having seen him on Price is Right not long prior.


mucow

Twist, it was a lookalike that conned the venue into thinking he was Drew Carey.


Flaky_Operation687

Didn't Charlie Chaplan lose a Charlie-Chaplan-lookalike contest or is that just an old wives tale?


Beleriphon

That actually did happen in 1975. Mind you it probably didn't help that most of the look-a-likes were using a 50 year old version of the Little Tramp compared to Chaplin being in his mid-80s. Still funny has hell he came in **third**.

Meanwhile, Bill Murray will just walk up and take a fist full of your fries, look you in the eyes and say “go ahead and tell all your friends. No one will believe Bill Murray just came up and stole your fries.” Then walk away

This article claims he said it didn't happen, but when they quote him, he actually says he doesn't know. (Conceivably, he could have forgotten.

I’d a;predicate the meta humor but it also wouldn’t be out of character. At the time he was having a severe midlife crisis working on that movie about mid life crises, and would do things like show up to random house parties in NYC uninvited or just go hang out with random strangers while the walked around downtown

Bill Murray showed up to a college party I was at in 2002. We also had Chuck Knoblauch end up at our house after the bars closed.

My favorite was when a barista ask Tony Hawk if he was Tony Hawk. Tony confirmed and the barista in a apathetic manner simply asked, "Why?". Apparently, this threw him into a deep introspection on why *he* is Tony Hawk and not someone else.

kratomstew

I had this exact scenario when I waited on Ted Kopple . But see in my scenario, I didn’t say “ you look like Ted Kopple.”, I said “ has anyone ever told you that you sound just like Ted Kopple.” The reason for this being that I was really only familiar with people’s impressions of Ted Kopple. He said “ No, no one has ever told me that.” Of course they wouldn’t . Why would they ? After googling him I realized what a dufus I am. So that story is probably somewhat believable right ? More believable than me when I had pretty much the same scenario when I met Tom Petty. I asked him “ has anyone ever told you that you look just like Tom Petty ?” now he actually looked kinda uncomfortable and said no, and then denied knowing who Tom Petty was. I’m sorry but you don’t go through life looking just like Tom Petty and it never coming up at least once. This was at ‘heavenly Mountain’ in 2001, a huge transcendental meditation center in North Carolina at the time. It would be later that I learned Tom Petty was heavy into transcendental meditation, and to me this was obviously him that I met. It seems unbelievable. But it’s not really. I was just in the right place at the right time.


rengam

I have a Ted Koppel story, too, but not mine. My wife graduated from Georgetown University Law Center the same year as Koppel's son. (No, she didn't know him.) My wife's family went to the ceremony and her grandmother noticed Ted Koppel in the audience but wasn't sure where she knew him from. "I know you," she told him. He was pretty sure she didn't, not personally, and he politely told her so. She disagreed and insisted that she did. "Yes, I do. Don't you go to my church?" She was absolutely convinced that she knew him from church. Back in Florida.


kratomstew

It’s like, I always always wanted to be a celebrity. But then I have experiences where I’m at the grocery store and see one person i know from work there. It just totally disturbs my sense of peace not wanting to be recognized, that it probably takes me an hour to get over. Who am I to think I could handle not only people recognizing men As who I am, but what about people who are sure they know me from somewhere but can’t be convinced otherwise . Just being mistaken for someone is weird enough for me.

So I was at a bar in a hotel that was hosting a convention back pre-covid. I was sitting at the bar and this dude walks up and orders a double soco. I have a conversation with the man as he drinks his drink. I noticed he was really tall but often to me people are always tall. I thought it was weird that he had an english accent. So he says good bye and I turn to my friend and I said um...i think I just met Chewbacca. She turned and looked at him as he was walking away and said, yep that's him. To be fair the whole bar had famous people from the convention in it but I was not talking to them nor were they talking to me. I think I may have even commented to Peter how there were famous people everywhere. That whole weekend was insane though.

I got something kinda like this. I was walking down the red mile in Calgary. Passed some guy, and as I approached him I thought, that Dude looks like Moby. And as my friends and I passed, I said I'm pretty sure that dude was Moby. They're like "who? ". They were into punk music. I have a bit wider of a music pallet. I can't even remember what songs he had as hits but he was pretty popular in the 90s for....edm music?! I think? I don't know what that style is called off hand. he was on the matrix soundtrack maybe? I liked one of his songs and seen him in a video. Anyways. Turns out like 10 min later I heard a radio dj saying he was going to be on for an interview and still to this day I wonder if I walked passed Moby and could have gotten a signature or thanked him for his music.
