In general actors are much more fan friendly than athletes. Maybe it's because actors only have to do a dozen events a year, where as athletes can play hundreds of games in a season. Who knows. But that was definitely not the case this week when I went to an event.
Tom Cruise arrived and we called him. He gave a wave and then rushed in. I crossed my fingers he might do it leaving, but he proceeded to sneak out of the back and run to his SUV avoiding all fans.
Then Johnny Depp arrived a few minutes later. He gave a wave.
Then his personal security guard looked over and said, "He's coming back, I'll bring him over after".
But he didn't bring him over. He did the exact opposite. When they were leaving Johnny made a motion that he wanted to come over and his security guard physically grabbed him and threw him in the car to leave. I will never understand why Johnny associates himself with this man. He is rude, he swears at fans, he rips up photos if you ask Johnny to sign, he is simply unpleasant in every way.
But hey, Cal Ripken Jr was nice. He came right over to sign and perfectly signed my baseball on the sweetspot. Thank you Cal for being a class act.
