Birdhouse Man

June 22, 2016 Blind Gossip

birdhouse log cabinBONUS CLUE!

[Blind Gossip] We always find stories about a celebrity using the “Don’t you know who I am?” line amusing.

Here’s one that occurred when a major action star – who first became famous in the 1990s – was filming in a small rural town in the south.

We were filming part of [movie] in [town]. We were driving back and forth between sets and we kept passing this old man selling these cool handmade birdhouses out of his pickup truck on the side of the road.

[Actor] asked me to stop one day, because he wanted to buy one of the birdhouses. He got into a conversation with the old man.

After a couple of minutes, it was pretty apparent that this man had no idea he was talking to this world-famous movie star. As he’s handing the money to the man for the birdhouse, [Actor] said to him, “Don’t you know who I am?”

The old man shrugged and said, “No… but if you’ll tell me who your mommy and daddy are I might!”

I burst out laughing. [Actor] didn’t laugh. Yes, he takes himself pretty seriously.

BONUS CLUE: If you can’t figure this one out, you will absolutely get a roundhouse kick to the gut!

    Van Damme in Kickboxer 32 filming in Louisiana.

    Michael Keaton became known before the 90s.

    On a personal note, he is from my hometown and I have never heard any thing but positive comments about how he treats others. I would be very, very surprised to learn he pulled out the “do you know who I am” card. 🙂

      This makes me happy to hear, because I love him.

    Jean-Claude Van Damme. Probably when he was filming “Hard Target” in the early 90s. He’s always been notorious for his ego

    • Kingofboggle says

      June 23, 2016 at 10:20 am

      And no, I wouldn’t change. I’m already an asshole

    I have no idea who this is.

    All I do know is that when I get home from work, I’m going to make a birdhouse out of my son’s old Lincoln Logs. What a great idea!

    Patrick Swayze?

  16. smiller2000 says

    June 22, 2016 at 6:49 pm

    I think this is Jean Claude Van Damme. He’s got a movie in post production called Kickboxer: Vengeance that was filmed partially in New Orleans.

  17. spunkie brewster says

  21. jonty30 says

    June 22, 2016 at 5:12 pm

    The 90’s action hero clue suggested Jean Claude Von Damme. The Roundhouse kick pretty much suggests it is.

    Jet Li?

  23. High Steppa says

      Patrick Swayze died of pancreatic cancer almost 7 years ago.

  30. Ramalama says

    June 22, 2016 at 3:43 pm

    Steven Seagal or Jean Claude Van Damme

    Ugh! Hate both actors so no time to watch their junk.

    I’d hate to think I would.

  31. ConfusedHarpy says

    June 22, 2016 at 3:37 pm

    I don’t know who this is, but I know who this is not– Chuck Norris. He’s supposedly one of the nicest and most low-key actors out there.

    Speaking of roundhouse kicks, if Chuck Norris snaps a redwood in the forest with a roundhouse., everybody hears it.

  32. I Am PunkA says

    June 22, 2016 at 3:33 pm

    Patrick Swayze
    Roadhouse

    Yeah, but not too much. Money gives opportunities, and I’d use it to create opportunities for my kids with travel and education. Not really with stuff though. Life experience > Possessions.

    June 22, 2016 at 2:52 pm

    I have no clue but in the Highly unlikely scenario that I become famous, I hope that I wouldn’t ever use that line. I am a very grounded person but money and fame can change a person so I don’t know

  38. mystery man 2 says

    June 22, 2016 at 2:48 pm

    Actor: Edward Norton.
    Movie: The People Vs Larry Flint.

  39. MaryQuiteContrary says

    June 22, 2016 at 2:02 pm

    Sounds like Steven Segal

  40. aemish says

    June 22, 2016 at 1:58 pm

    Aww! I love this story! Makes me want to hug that sweet little birdhouse man!

  41. Delightful says

    June 22, 2016 at 1:44 pm

    Bruce Willis? He is kind of the go-to for “action star from the 90s”, besides Schwarzenegger and Van Damme.

  42. WaitLemmeGuess says

    June 22, 2016 at 1:03 pm

    I’m guessing Steven Seagal only because his name sorta looks like seagull (birdhouse.)

    • lepidoteran says

      June 23, 2016 at 1:18 pm

      I think you’re right with the “birdhouse” – “seagull” connection!

  44. lagally says

    takes himself seriously sounds like TOM CRUISE –could be Bruce Willis….

  45. jonesing says

    June 22, 2016 at 12:14 pm

    Steven Sagal maybe. If I were famous as a young person-and I’ll say under 40-I would probably been more than a little smitten with myself. If I became famous as an old-then no. But there’s not a big call for famous granny character actors now days.

    • bhakti says

      June 22, 2016 at 10:07 pm

      I saw Steven on the Warner Bros lot back in the day and he was so sweet. Super flirty and friendly. I didn’t sense an ego. Just a hot older (than me) man who appreciated pretty younger females. My friend and I were flattered and thought he was a gentleman. I don’t see him throwing his ego around like in this blind.

  46. LooLoo says

    June 22, 2016 at 12:12 pm

    That is so sweet, that sounds just like every old man I know in this neck of the woods. So sad that the actor couldn’t find it charming.

  47. kermit1969 says

    June 22, 2016 at 12:08 pm

    Actor: Kevin Costner

    Film: The Bodyguard

    Yes I would absolutely change if I were famous.

    • fiddlesticks says

      June 24, 2016 at 6:58 am

      This morning I saw this and couldn’t for the life of me think of the name as clearly wanted to block his hideous movies form memory but definitely this!

  48. Cloudy says

    June 22, 2016 at 11:56 am

    Please don’t be RDJ!

    • tellmemore says

      June 22, 2016 at 6:43 pm

      RDJ became famous in the 80s.

  49. CountessLurkula says

    June 22, 2016 at 11:56 am

    The Rock
    Dwayne Johnson

    • tellmemore says

      June 22, 2016 at 6:41 pm

      He was wrestling in the 90s.

    • tellmemore says

      June 22, 2016 at 6:43 pm

      Of course, the blind doesn’t say he became a famous actor in the 90s, so IDK.

  50. tarbaby says

    June 22, 2016 at 11:53 am

    I don’t know who the actor is but this is just too funny!!! Too many actors (and actresses) take themselves entirely too seriously. Love it that someone had no clue “who” this idiot was.

  51. terry123 says

    June 22, 2016 at 11:48 am

    Maybe Bruce Willis?
    Would fame change me? I don’t think so – fame, like money just makes you more of what you already are. If you were a jerk before, you will be a bigger jerk afterwards.

  52. Lebowski says

    Tom Cruise

    • tellmemore says

      June 22, 2016 at 6:40 pm

      No, he became famous in the 80s

  54. BluntSavage says

    June 22, 2016 at 11:21 am

    Sounds like something DiCaprio would do.
    I am already pretty obnoxious but I would definitely change and become even more so at least in the beginning. After a while I would resort to some sort of balance between being obnoxious and nice.

    • Rofl my Wofl says

      June 23, 2016 at 8:28 am

      Not even close. DiCaprio’s a partier who changes women like other people change their underwear, hanging out on yachts and going to clubs in between making movies. But stopping by some rural roadside stands selling handcrafted birdhouses and expecting to be recognized is nothing like him. Not sure why anybody would think that.

  55. ivy3499 says

    June 22, 2016 at 11:11 am

    My first thought was Michael Keaton because of his film Birdman but I know he was successful before the 90s so I’m not sure. Maybe Ben Affleck- birdhouse man/batman??

  56. elphie says

    June 22, 2016 at 11:07 am

    Seagal ? Arnie or Willis? What’s throwing me is the comment about how the actor in question took himself pretty seriously… of course could have been Stallone…weren’t those Rambo films shot in the south (the US sites anyway)

  57. sheenalynne1 says

    June 22, 2016 at 11:04 am

    Wesley Snipes
    Temple

  58. Estrogen says

    June 22, 2016 at 10:50 am

    Bruce Willis

    • Aurelia says

      June 23, 2016 at 2:24 pm

      Wesley Snipes

      One of the zillion Blade Thingy Movies.

      Fame wouldn’t change me, although…to have money to travel and visit museums, that’d be something else.
