    It sounds as if you are tenuous and wondering if you'll be nailed with a hook shot to the temple if you approach him...........

    I was at the MGM grand for his fight with holyfield. I saw all the celebrities walking by.... got my picture with busta rhymes and some wayans brothers.


    Jack Nicholson is the only human I have ever seen with an aura. He walked by and other celebrities stopped to stare.

    No, he hates all humans and doesn't appreciate being approached by anyone. If you approach him, he eats your children.





    Longcount from the British forum was chilling with him the other night & he seemed like a brilliant bloke from his account

    I met him in a museum one night at a Party that Hugo Boss was throwing. Know one really played him to close other then the guy that came in with him. I watched him snatch up the whole hors d oeuvre tray from one of the caterers. Of course know one is gonna complain, who needs to eat it's only food.......lol.

    In my case; extremely. Nicest celebrity I've encountered. Tyson was overly friendly and accommodating.

    I met him at an airport years ago. He was incredibly rushed but super friendly too. He offered me an autograph but neither of us had pens readily available and he couldn't stop as his flight was boarding so he gave me a flight reservation receipt with his name on it instead. Top bloke, even when busy.

    I met Tyson, he lived by me for a while when he had a mansion south of cleveland ohio. He was married to Robin givins at the time. I was at a gas station filling up one of my motorcycles and he came up to me and asked about my bike (Old bmw airhead).

    I asked him if he rode and he said he would like to, I told him Id ride with him if he ever got a bike. He also knew I was a boxer immediately and was really polite. I told him id fight on one of his undercards and we had a good laugh. Back then, there were no cell phones or anything so i didnt even consider a photo or an autograph.

    I guess this was in about 1989 or so.

    Nope, Met Holyfield though, Seems like a nice guy, really soft spoken too, which is odd after seeing what he can do in the ring.
