We’ve all been there. You run into a celebrity and you just can’t help yourself – you have to remind them about the one thing they’re most famous for.
Because no one before you has ever sung ‘Horses’ to Daryl Braithwaite or asked Laurina from The Bachelor whether she wants a ‘dirty street pie’.
And it seems not even celebrities themselves are immune from acting like an idiot around their favourite celebs.
The Logies 2017: A Cowboy Crash and Fuschia Clash. Post continues…
Speaking on the Triple M Grill Team on Monday morning, former NRL star Matty Johns told the story of his own cringe-worthy encounter with Silverchair’s Ben Gillies at last night’s Logies.
“I tell you something weird last night, I saw Ben Gillies … and I said, ‘Yew! How you going brother?’ That’s what we do in Newcastle [the home town the band and Johns share],” Johns said.
“We were kissing each other’s a**es there for a while and then I started singing Silverchair songs. His wife Jackie said, ‘Oh Matty, he doesn’t like that’ and I thought, ‘Nah, bulls**t.’

You say 'awkward encounter with a celebrity', I say 'drunken idiot makes a pest of himself'. Potato, potahto.
The johns brothers- like teflon, nothing sticks to these idiots. To think they are highly paid and still popular repulses me.
My sentiments exactly!
