My friends dad was able to get us tickets to the 'Old Dogs' premiere in Hollywood, because he was head of security. We got into the theatre for the movie and were walking around. Inside, I had the most incredible successes of my life!
First, Breckin Meyer, then Kevin Nealon, and then out of nowhere Forrest Whitaker!! All were very nice.
After the movie I saw Robin Williams in the theatre, I told him what a HUGE fan I was. He was very cool, he smiled and said "thank you brosef". Walking back over to where my friends and date were, I saw Tom Hanks walking toward me, one of the few times I had been legitimately star-struck. I told him it was an honor to meet him, and he was very friendly and appreciative.
Immediately after him I bumped into John Travolta, who was fortunately in a very good mood, and really cool.
My date and I walked out to go to the after party, and the woman told us to follow the people in front of us, who happened to be Seth Green and his girlfriend. At the party, I met Jon Voight, very nice guy.

Unfortunately, since we were guests we were encouraged not to ask for autographs in the theatre or at the party, and we had to check the camera in at the front :( We could have asked for autographs, because everyone was so incredibly nice I'm certain they would have signed. I usually hate posts with no scans, but I really felt a need to share this story.

AUSOME!!!
Although you are discouraged to ask you should have just gone for it especailly if they were friendly, the worst that would happen is they would have told you to move along. Well done on Robin thu, he is the nicest celeb i hav EVER met
