Mr. John Campbell at Rainbow's End with son and his mate

July 31, 2011


A sunny Sunday after much of a dreadful rainy week, we decided to hed to Rainbow's End for some thrills. Gawd lets not start on the queues for the rides. Somehow it seemed worse than the time at a theme park in China, which is physically impossible. But still.

So imagine me, standing impatiently at the coaster ride, and after 3 minutes of silence I decided to check the guy infront of me out; it was this guy in a suit with two little kids. Seriously? Suit at Rainbow's End? This is one hell of a rich sophisticated guy. It was hillarious cuz I don't usually watch Campbell Live but I do recognize him. So when he turned around I thought the face was really familiar, like I knew him. I tapped him on the shoulder and I was like "so..do I know you?" Man thinking about what happened now makes me feel even more like a retard. The awkwardness somehow managed to fade away. After the photos and laughing at my stupidity, we had some pretty serious talk. I'm not sure what we really talked about much but we went all over the place. Campbell is an AMAZING speaker, not to mention his SEXY voice. The voice I would imagine GOD would have.

Honestly though, he was an amazing person to talk to. I could see when I was talking to him heaps of people around me started to realise there was a celebrity around but I didn't give them a chance and kept him talking to me for the entire time. I honestly feel pretty proud =).

What was really adorable was when we were coming to the end of the queue, the one time I regretted the waiting to end, I asked him whether he was going on or not. And he said in his extremely passionate voice "no, I'm not going on. I would seriously vomit if I did." He was hillarious and made me laugh like a mad man. It was really cute when he got his white Iphone (I think it was an IPhone) out and started taking a video of his kids on the coaster.

I was so glad of my stupidity today, going up to one of the first celebrities I have met in my life (other than Stan Walker, John Key, this dude who got fired on The Apprentice and some mayor of auckland) and thought I some how knew them in real life. I am retarded, but I love it SO MUCH!

Oh p.s. Come back later cuz I'll post some photos that I took =)
