Soooooo my sister has been a flight attendant for Delta for about a zillion years. She's great at it-- truly a credit to her company. She's outgoing, gregarious and has the unusual ability to be VERY chatty and yet still be a good listener (okay, okay-- but I'll admit she errs on the chatty side. . . ). She tends to meet celebrities every now and again, and they do always seem to take a shine to her. Peter Noon knows her by name (!), and I think she and John Astin talked an entire flight away a few years ago.
We were talking on the phone last night, and she mentioned that a few weeks ago, she was working a flight to Detroit, and this nice-looking tall fellow was in first class, and in the course of normal small talk, he mentioned he was going to be spending eight or nine weeks in Detroit.
"Oh wow-- why on earth would you want to spend nine weeks in Detroit??!?"
"Oh, I'll be working there-", etc.
"I see, I see. What kind of business are you in, then?"
"I'll be filming-- I'm an actor, and the movie's being shot in Detroit."
(They chatted about the movie-- something that combines vampires and Motown-)
"So, have you done any other films? Is there anything I might have seen you in?"
"Well-- did you see THOR last summer?"
"Ooo, no, nope. I'm SURE my brother did, but I never got around to seeing it. Anything else?"
"Well-- how about WARHORSE?"
"I am SO sorry-- no, no, that's one that I have totally been trying to make time for, but I haven't seen that yet either. . . "
"Um. . . did you see THE AVENGERS--?"
"Ha! No-- again, I KNOW my brother has seen it. . . but I never caught it this summer. Wow, so you were in the Avengers? That's great-! Did you have a good role?"
She was talking, as you've surely guessed, to Tom Hiddleston this whole time. Just chatting amiably, with NO CLUE WHATSOEVER that he was the DRIVING DRAMATIC FORCE in the HIGHEST GROSSING FILM OF ALL TIME!!!!! GNARRRRGH! They ended up talking at length about the movie ANONYMOUS (which he wasn't in), and about whether or not Shakespeare wrote all of his own works. And about England. And about theater. And about the vampire movie craze, and will it ever be over. And lord knows what else. She said he was showing her PICTURES FROM HIS PHONE of him with other movie folks, other stars, his girlfriend, etc, etc.
Naturally, I was pounding the phone receiver against my forehead during much of this conversation.
She. Had. No. Clue.
As to who he was. Just an extremely, delightfully friendly tall British fellow with incredibly big, piercing, bright blue eyes. Great passenger.
*sigh*
I ask you-- is it fair? Is it?
