Close Encounters: From Matt Dillon to Ridley Scott

Join Barnes and Leslie on this episode of the Morning X, where they recount their recent encounters with Hollywood legends. Barnes shares his unexpected experience of flying across the aisle from none other than Matt Dillon on a La Compagnie flight from Nice. Despite recognizing the iconic actor, Barnes hesitated to strike up a conversation, leaving Leslie disappointed but amused by the missed opportunity.
Meanwhile, Leslie recounts her visit to Ridley Scott's vineyard, where she unknowingly crossed paths with the acclaimed director. As Leslie and her companion, Lanny, engaged in conversation with a knowledgeable wine enthusiast, little did they know that Ridley Scott himself was just below them in his basement office. Barnes is left in disbelief at the proximity to such a renowned figure and vows to seize the opportunity if ever in a similar situation again.
This is from the Best of The Morning X vault.
