I’m a flight attendant and I’ve seen all kinds of celebs on board – it’s easy to pick my five favorites
A FLIGHT attendant has spilled the tea on all the celebrity encounters she’s had on board, including her favorite A-list fliers.
She recounted her experience serving stars like Jamie Fox and Mary Kate Olsen.
Emily Kelly shared a YouTube video on her channel The Hungry Flight Attendant, revealing her top five favorite encounters.
She was lucky enough to bump into Joel Edgerton, an Australian actor and director.
“One of the most humble, kind people that I’ve ever met, not just celebrity-wise but anyone. He made me feel important,” she said.
Emily revealed that she was a huge foodie and was overjoyed when she ran into Paula Deen, whose cooking show she adored.
Three days later, she also bumped into Bobby Flay, a chef and restauranteur, at the airport.
“Three days, two famous chefs, love Food Network, still am my favorite channel,” she said.
She explained that she was attempting to board a flight to Vegas when she turned around and spotted the chef.
Flay happened to be in First Class on her flight, a fact that she could not get over.
“I watched him the whole flight, I know that’s weird but I’m such a chef girl,” she said.
On one star-studded flight, Emily got hit with a whammy as she ran into Jamie Fox and his daughter Corinne, who she described as “so sweet and so down to earth.”
Little did she know, Mary-Kate Olsen was also on board, whom Emily wished she had more of a chance to interact with.
“My inner child freaked out because women my age grew up watching the Olsen twins on everything,” she said.
“She was so tiny and so cute, smiled, greeted us, made eye contact, was very friendly when she came on but she went right to sleep and didn’t ask for anything.”
The flight attendant even got a photo shoutout on one trip after running into comedian Michael Blackson.
Michael shared a selfie the two took together to his Instagram with the caption, “My flight attendant.”
“I got like 500 new followers from that… people thought we were dating and were commenting and tagging like, ‘Oh, are you and Michael together?'” she laughed.
Although she had plenty of other stories she wanted to share, she wanted to keep the negative encounters to herself.
“I don’t want to bash anyone,” she admitted.
