Encounters of the costar kind
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to go to the Chicago premiere of Fred Claus, starring Jen’s Break-Up costar (and onetime beau) Vince Vaughn. Given that not many would make the trek to Chicago, it would likely not be the star-studded affair that the Los Angeles premiere was; however, we did know that we could count on the presence of hometown boy Vince. Sure enough, he did not disappoint; he showed up (fashionably late) and was very warm with fans. He shook hands and signed autographs and was very animated in his interviews with media sources.
As you can see above, I was one of the lucky ones; he autographed my TBU DVD case and shook my hand. He was very gracious and showed great appreciation for the fans who came out to see him. Every Chicago news media source came out for the event, and most focused on local fans. So Chicago types, if you see a girl in a red shirt on the news making a babbling idiot of herself, that’s me!
Also in attendance was John Michael Higgins (aka Richard), although his arrival was somewhat stealthier (though several fans did, upon recognizing him, break into a reenactment of the infamous dinner table scene). For those who have never been to a premiere, I must say that the experience is a bit of a trip; not only is it surreal being thisclose to the stars, but the fans that you meet are always fun. For the lucky ones at the front of the crowd, it’s a bit of a juggling act to simultaneously greet the stars, get autographs, and take pictures. I highly recommend renting an extra set of hands. I did manage to get a couple of decent pictures of Vince, however; enjoy!
