Similar to when I was in a guys study talking to him and looking at his wall of books, I noticed he had a lot of Dr. Seuss books which was weird fit with the rest, it turned out he was Dr. Seuss.

That is a cool experience too! What I have found is that when you do not immediately put them on a pedestal and become star struck most have a “just another average person” attitude. I think they appreciate that you really do not know who they actually are and treat them as just normal and equal.
