I'm a flight attendant. I saw many celebrities on board, 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 talked about her experience serving stars like Jamie Foxx and Mary-Kate Olsen.
Emily Kelly shared a YouTube video on her channel The hungry stewardess, revealing her top five favorite encounters.
She was lucky enough to meet Joel Edgerton, an Australian actor and director known for The Great Gatsby and The King.
“One of the most humble, kind people I've ever met, not just celebrity-wise, but anyone. He made me feel important,” she said.
Emily revealed she was a huge foodie and was thrilled when she came across Paula Deen, whose cooking show she loved.
Three days later, she also ran into Bobby Flay, a chef and restauranteur, at the airport.
“Three days, two celebrity chefs, love Food Network, still my favorite channel,” she said.
She explained that she was trying to board a flight to Vegas when she turned around and saw the chef.
Flay happened to be in First Class during her flight, a fact she couldn't get over.
“I watched him the whole flight, I know that's weird but I'm such a chef girl,” she said.
During a star-studded flight, Emily was hit when she came across Jamie Foxx 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, who 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 everywhere,” she said.
“She was so little and so cute, smiled, greeted us, made eye contact, was very friendly when she came round, but she fell asleep straight away and didn't ask for anything.”
The flight attendant even got a photo shoutout during one trip after running into comedian Michael Blackson.
Michael shared a selfie the two took together on his Instagram with the caption, “My flight attendant.”
“I got like 500 new followers because of that… people thought we were dating and commented and tagged like, 'Oh, are you and Michael together?'” she laughed.
Although she had plenty of other stories to share, she wanted to keep the negative encounters to herself.
“I don't want to bash anyone,” she admitted.
