"I danced with Jeff Goldblum in a parking lot," screenwriter Lauren Modery wrote on Twitter on Monday, January 24.
Before calling his approximately 13,000 subscribers to tell him about their most incongruous experiences with celebrities.
The key, an anthology of anecdotes centered on Sean Penn, Iggy Pop, Alec Baldwin, Prince, Bill Murray or Mariah Carey.
“I was in Hong Kong and she was staying in my hotel, relates @TheSacredIsle about the American diva.
She and her team entered the elevator and when they realized I was there, she yelled at me and told me to 'get off her elevator'."
Before adding: "When I said no, she pressed the button for the upper floor and asked her bodyguard to get me out."
Lauren Modery also remembered another experience, a bit unpleasant, with Alec Baldwin.
"I worked on a movie with him and he walked up to me with his hand outstretched," she recalled.
He said, "Hey, I'm Alec Baldwin! You have a nice house!"
We were then filming in a chic house in Calabasas (in California, editor’s
note
).
She would then have indicated that she was the producer's assistant, not the owner of the premises.

Brief encounters and misunderstandings
Others report experiences that are more bizarre than unpleasant. @Roger_Sweetman recounts how he once punched Pierce Brosnan in Dublin. The actor, who had seen him with a paper and a pen, wanted to sign him an autograph. The Internet user, who had not recognized him, had thought that he wanted to steal his wife's Valentine's Day card.
Another remembers his funny encounter with Iggy Pop. “Went to an Iggy Pop concert in 1996 with a friend,” says @if_you_see_kaye. Shortly after, this friend would have returned to his car, only to find that his keys were locked inside. "He was trying to force the door open when he heard, 'Do you need help?' It was Iggy Pop, who helped him break into his car.»
An Internet user also remembered the day when Rose McGowan thought she recognized her in a store, during her lunch break.
“I had never met Rose McGowan in my life,” @gothspiderbitch argued.
The author Ashley Van Buren would have confused Uma Thurman with a saleswoman in a shop.
And this, twice in the space of fifteen days.
"Both times I asked her where items were," she recalled.
Both times she told me she didn't work there.
Prince's Cookies
And what about @ItstheBrandi, whose aunt was once the girlfriend of a member of The Time, who worked with Prince?
When she was a little girl, the latter would have crossed the star.
"I asked Prince to make me some cookies after he banged my head against his table," she said.
@ASTROq remembered running into Sean Penn, who was smoking a cigarette at the time.
"He accidentally spilled ashes on me," he said.
He threw away his cigarette and apologized.
Before adding: “Then he immediately took another, stuck behind his ear.
He also had one behind the other ear.
This man had three cigarettes near his face.

Bill Murray's pranks
Some, fortunately, recalled better memories.
"We once spotted Bill Murray in a grocery store," @theinfamouskat shared.
Some of us went to see if it was him.
Eventually he realized that we were following him, lost us and went around so he could surprise us, saying, 'Yes my children, it's me, Bill Murray.
@FlippyO reportedly spent an afternoon with the actor.
"My girlfriend was living with one of her favorite cameramen," he recalled.
He came to watch a baseball game...He shared his M&M's with me, making sure I had at least one of each color."
Proof that celebrities can also look like us.
