Focus On: “Liev”
One doesn’t get to meet their secret celebrity crush often. In fact, I figured I never would. But by sheer luck he just happened to have walked into the same venue I was at, and so I got to meet mine. After unsuccessfully trying to make it through the crowds to shake his hand, I finally gave up. I would be happy with my memory that he walked by me! But Josh (my husband) decided that this opportunity would never present itself again so he squirmed me through to the front of the crowd where I managed to squeeze out a conversation which I’ve immortalized in my mind:
Marie: (Shakes his hand in disbelief)
Marie: I heard you did yoga.
Liev: Well … I wish I still did. I should do more of it. Do you do yoga?
Marie: Yes I do!! (the crazy smile) I heard you grew up on an ashram.
Liev: Yes, I did.
Marie: I’m going to one this summer.
Liev: Oh really, which one?
Marie: Ananda, it’s in Monroe NY.
Liev: I actually know that one.
Marie: So … (more craziness) can I take a picture with you?
Liev: Where’s your camera?
Josh: Right HERE!! (snap)
