Title: Paul Dano on NYC Subway Post by: Surfs Down on October 02, 2013, 01:47:27 PM Hello All:
Just thought I would share my first ever celebrity subway spotting. This afternoon I was transferring to the 6 train at Broadway Lafayette in NYC and none other than Paul Dano was standing on the platform. Not only was this the first time i've ever seen a celebrity on the subway, but only minutes earlier I had been listening to Friends on my headphones. He was walking gingerly with a cane and was wearing an army fatigue baseball. I wasn't brave enough to actually start a conversation and ask him about the Brian biopic, but as I left the train I patted him on the shoulder and said "I'm looking forward to Brian Wilson". He thanked me and said goodbye. Sorry I don't have more to share! Just thought it was a spooky, cool event worth sharing. -s Title: Re: Paul Dano on NYC Subway Post by: rab2591 on October 02, 2013, 02:17:18 PM Would've been surreal....especially with Friends playing :-D

Title: Re: Paul Dano on NYC Subway Post by: RangeRoverA1 on October 03, 2013, 08:13:13 AM Hello All: Hello, Surfs Down! Good story. I assume Paul was traveling by subway due to the money limitations. I mean, he's not a 1st-rate actor like Brad Pitt or Abigail Breslin (despite that she's younger than him), not even easily recognized by the majority of people. And it's a shame really. Gangway for young actors! No more banal usual faces on screen. Give sth. fresh idea-wise. Just thought I would share my first ever celebrity subway spotting.

A I don't think money has anything to do with it. Paul is a native New Yorker so no doubt the subway is something very familiar to him. Nearly everyone in NYC takes the subway--it doesn't discriminate based on class. Actor Keanu Reeves was even recently spotted riding the subway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMB1EOnUwX8 Title: Re: Paul Dano on NYC Subway Post by: Smilin Ed H on October 03, 2013, 10:54:17 AM Great story. As long as you didn't grab his ass.

Also, did you see what hugh jackman did to him in 'Prisoners'? Title: Re: Paul Dano on NYC Subway Post by: Smilin Ed H on October 03, 2013, 01:04:33 PM I know. Pretty damn scary. I wouldn't have had the nerve to approach him at all!

As a non-American fan of America, I like reading sth. new about the country, esp. my favorite New York State/City. So thank you very much! I'll surely take your post for note. As for the YT link, I honestly have no idea who is that actor, though his name does sound familiar. Good tradition of being equal to each other, no limos & rich stuff. Very democratic, unlike in our country where almost everyone - middle class or no - tries to be luxurious. |
