‘I Am Bob De Niro!’
“I live in a coastal California city that gets its share of celebrities, and I’ve run into several. I usually just pretend I don’t notice who they are. One day, while I was at work, a man and woman were in the store. The man looked like Robert De Niro, all the way down to the mole. He was even standing in contemplation with his hand against his face in a way that I remembered De Niro did in a movie.”

”I said, ‘You look just like Robert De Niro!’ He said, ‘That’s because I AM Bob De Niro.’ We both laughed. The woman with him looked irritated, as if I was going to go off like some sort of fangirl. I pretended that I didn’t believe him, and we went on with the transaction.”
