Celebrities at Large
So I'm at work last night and I decide to head down for a smoke. I work in a building downtown where there is a new production every week it seems. Last night they were shooting Eli Stone. The elevator stops at the second floor and a bunch of people pile in. I end up squeezed into the corner of the elevator. The girl next to me turns to me and asks, "A penny for your thoughts?" It was the cutest thing. I just said, "Get me out of here, there isn't supposed to be this many people in the elevator." We get out of the elevator and head to the front doors. When we walk out, we're greeted by a million flash bulbs and these people get in the SUV waiting outside. I ask a grip standing next to me who that was. "Katie Holmes, she's on her lunch break." I went back upstairs and told my buddies what happened. One of my friends told me that he saw Tom Cruise in the building. I was like no way, one of the most famous people in the world and a lunatic at that. I can't pass this up. I gotta get a glimpse. So we wait a little while and pay attention to the paparazzi outside to get a feel of when they'll be back outside. At the right moment I get my camera phone ready to capture my one and only glimpse of Maverick. Sure enough I get it. Horrible footage [click image]. They were quick as hell getting in that car. My friends and I have one more smoke outside and show each other what kinds of shots we got then head back upstairs. We go to the elevator, the doors open, and who the fuck is in there? Tomkat itself. Tom looks at us and says "We're back." And winks! We were so shellshocked at the fact that Tom Cruise actually just talked to us that we didn't say a word. We must have looked like the crazy ones in that elevator. I guess he had played a trick on the press and people outside and went around the corner then came back in through the basement. Sure enough, all the press left after getting their shots and Tom and Katie were left in peace to shoot the show.
