i was doing some tilling for a turkish hotel owner in london on a sunday morning for some good cash. with a few mates. in the late 80s.
i walk out to go to the corner shop shop for some smokes.
on my way back, 10 o'clock in the morning the streets are pretty empty, i see this guy walking. as we approach each other i begin to recognize him with his sunday paper under his arm, but like i really know this person. i've seen him a thousand times, i am sure, but have no memory of him. i probably made a face while we passed because he just smiled.
i continued walking totally confused. who is this man? why is he smiling at me? why do i know him "so well"? and then it came to me. michael caine!
i am not sure if i yelled his name but i did turn around and he was very far away. he probably saw that face thousands of times :)- That happened with me and Tom Hanks once. We made eye contact and even smiled but he was so normal I didn’t realize it was him until a half block later.monospaced
