car wash & wax celebrity sighting

on my lunch break last week...running errands...
I stopped in to get my Si hand washed and waxed on Robertson street, on the west side of Beverly Hills, on the way back to my office. Sitting in a chair outside, reading a magazine, waiting for his car to be washed and waxed too, was legendary film actor Morgan Freeman.

I've been in LA about a year, and it's the first time I've seen and recognized an actor. Just sittin' there waiting for his car. I shouldn't be so impressed, but I was. He's talented actor who's work I really admire.

Was it really him? I had to do a double take. Yup. It was really him. I resisted the impulse to greet him. Or stare too much. My Si had just come out, and I was inspecting how it came out. (I wanted to turn to him and say "doesn't my Si look nice!?") I walked across the street, grabbed a sandwich and came back to pick up my car. He was still there.

I perfectly trivial thing to write about, I realize, but it was fun.

Anyone else ever spot a celebrity while getting their car washed or serviced? It's a first for me.

p.s. I didn't get to see what kind of car Mr. Freeman drives. I trust it's a nice one.

You'll find a bunch of celebrities hanging around Robertson, usually on weekdays when normal people are at work. Nice run in.

thats pretty crazy. To not only see a celebrity, but a well-respected one, not like paris hilton or jimmy fallon or some other loser... I was about to ask what car he drove, but I see you already covered that.
I used to work at pechanga (big indian casino) and I'd see crappy celebrities that I dont even give a sh*t about.... heres a few of them:


**shutters**
