Close Encounters of the Celebrity Kind: Day #3
When I heard that Matt Damon would be in Baltimore for the premiere of his 2003 movie, Stuck on You, I knew that I was definitely going to be there.
I mean we’re talking about MATT DAMON for crying out loud!!!
When the day of the premiere arrived, it was bitter cold and it had recently snowed so the roads were a mess. I wasn’t going to let that stop me from this stalking expedition. I put on my goose down jacket and parked myself outside the theater. My husband went with me this time, but it took a lot of begging since there was a football game on tv.
I expected there to be tons of people waiting outside, but I guess the weather and the game on that day kept people away. But seriously, people, it is Matt FREAKIN’ Damon. I don’t care if they were predicting tornadoes, hail, or giant balls of fire to rain from the sky, there was nothing that was keeping me from this premiere!!
When Matt’s car pulled up, they let him off in a spot that he had to climb over snow drifts to get to the red carpet which I thought was kind of rude. He didn’t seem to mind though.
When he reached the small group of fans gathered outside the theater, he gladly signed autographs and posed for pictures. He was so friendly and down to earth. He kept saying how he couldn’t believe that we had waited outside in the cold for him. He seemed genuinely appreciative of us being there.
Here is the photo that we took together:
Ahhh, Matt Damon… I would happily stand outside in the freezing cold for you anytime. (And that says a lot because I really can’t stand being cold.)

I am not a celeb magnet–just a STALKER!! If I get word of a potential sighting (premiere, filming, etc..) you better believe I will be there with my camera!

I’m with Angie… I want to hang out with you, too! Then maybe I will have my first celeb encounter!

Blessings!

Jealous, Jealous, Jealous. That’s all I have to say.

Oh my!! What a lucky girl you are!
[Reply]
Wow, you are so lucky! That’s very cool. I would be too chicken to even approach someone so handsome. let alone ask for a picture or something. Oh, don’t even get me started on what I would do if I ever came face to face with Rob Pattinson. Probably just drool like an idiot.
hee hee.
btw, thanks for stopping by.
