CANADA - I met Kevin Smith at the Eaton's Centre today. I was on my way to meet up with a friend and visit some art galleries in Toronto's Distillery District... and voila, I'm walking by the guy who screams JESUS SAVES and the other guy who is a Clint Eastwood "Man With No Name" impersonator... and voila I walk into Kevin Smith.
For a moment I was stunned and couldn't remember his name. Finally I said "Kevin Smith?" and he said "Yeah? That's me."
"What are you doing in Toronto?" (I shake his hand.)
"Oh, I'm here promoting my new movie."
"Oh yeah, Zack And Miri Make A Porno. That's weird actually..."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, a colleague of mine has been fussing about your movie lately and wants me to go see it and review it when it comes out. I've been kind of procrastinating about it. Its kind of a weird coincidence that I should bump into you now."
"Oh, that is rather weird. Small world."
"Yep. I have to be going, but it was nice to meet you." (At this point I shook his hand again.)
NOTE: Kevin Smith is thinner in real life. That or he has lost weight recently. Pretty likable guy overall.
OTHER NOTE: I seem to have a weird habit of bumping into celebrities, actors and politicians lately. In the past year I've bumped into Bob Rae, Cameron Diaz (she wasn't very nice BTW), Pierre Pettigrew, Michael Mahonen, Colin Feore and several others whom I can't remember their names right now.
