When I was in college I worked at Borders at South Coast Plaza. We had our fair share of actors and other celebrities come through the store. But I always took it as a pretty normal SoCal mall occurrence. One day while I was working the main cash registers, a really handsome guy walks up to pay at my friend's register. I didn't think people like him actually existed. He was blonde, blue eyed, and absolutely gorgeous. It can take me a hot second to figure out if a person is an actor or not, but due to my friend J's meltdown reaction it basically confirmed this good looking guy was an actor.
"OH MY GOD. YOU'RE THAT GUY. FROM THAT THING!" The words came out of J's mouth jittery and barely decipherable.
I took a second glance at the really handsome guy. "PAUL WALKER" His name finally came to my mind. Paul Walker was super patient with J. He shyly smiled and said yes. I didn't bother to give J a hint that the guy in front of him was in "She's All That" or "Fast and Furious." It would feel weird saying someone's resume out loud while they are right there. The meltdown was actually kind of endearing and Paul Walker was a classy guy about it. J rang him up, took his cash, and continued to adoringly admire the person standing in front of him.
What did I do? Laugh at J. Ring up another customer, who also was drooling over Paul Walker. The customer also took her sweet time taking out her debit card to pay for her books. And that's my random Paul Walker Oblivious Nerd Girl story.
