Dolph - first hand encounters
Posted: 19 Aug 2007, 11:43The subject of meeting the big guy in real life has been touched upon but I thaught I´d make a thread about it.
Here´s as close as I´ve gotten...
All my brothers are huge Dolph fans too, so the following story was a big deal for us.
Last Mothers Day, while I was driving to my Mom´s, I called my kid brother (25 years old) to remind him to call her and congratulate her.
It was a sunday so we were both really hung over (we ARE swedish, after all), but he was all excited when I reached him. He went:
"Forget about Mother´s Day, guess who sat next to last night?"
So, my brother and his friends had decided to start the evening out by having a bite to eat while simultaniously getting wasted, so they had gone to this nice, quiet place (in Stockholm, where he lives). And as they were getting seated, and approached their table, they all realise that one of the guys sitting at the next table is... DOLPH FCKNG LUNDGREN!
And they all freeze up!
My brother told me that he had a complete mental breakdown and, as he had to squeeze by Dolph to get to his seat, they made eye contact and my brother went:
"Hey, how´s it going?"
And Dolph, kind of puzzled, said:
"Yeah... good."
And that was it.
My brother and his friends just sat down and went about their buisness.
No autographs.
No pictures.
He had tried to call me that night but my phone was off.
But that was the whole interaction with his life long hero!
So, while this automatically makes my brother my new idol, for sitting next to Dolph, it also makes him the biggest loser in the world for not even taking a picture with him and sending it to me.
Anyway, I asked his friends to corroborate the story and it checks out so at least he wasn´t hallucinating.
