Title: Bowlers Always Have Time to Spare:
Contributor(s): Gentile, Gina (Photographer)
Type of Resource: still image
Description: Here is a photo of my friend, Miranda Ross, and I with Robert Buckley AKA Clayton from 'One Tree Hill'. We were downtown on Granville bowling and noticed him and two of his friends bowling beside us. Being a casual environment we didn't want to be the crazy fan girls so we calmly approached him. He was very nice and gladly took a selfie with us!

Description: Canadian actor, made Hello! Canada's Most Beautiful list for 2016. He has filmed in Vancouver on numerous occasions - for 'The Tomorrow People', 'X-Files', 'The Flash'. In August 2014, he was in town filming for 'The Flash' (playing duo role of Ronnie Raymond/Deathstorm). I saw him walking along Robson Street - I think he was getting a coffee before going to set. He was happy to take a selfie with a fan - even took two pictures to make sure I was happy with at least one of them!

Title: Dreams Do Come True!:

Description: Back in April, I met my all-time favourite actor, Johnny Depp. I made it my goal to hopefully get a picture with him for the period he was here filming 'Pirates of the Caribbean 5'. I scoured social media for sightings or autograph hounds in search of information. No one really seemed interested in tracking him down. The few bits that emerged came from dinner outings, a shopping excursion and a visit to the dentist! I knew where filming was occurring in North Vancouver but it was beginning to feel like it was not going to happen. The last day of a mini-staycation I finally decided I would go to the set and just take a chance. As luck would have it, an amazing opportunity came that day. I received a message from a very reliable source that Johnny would be filming at a local studio downtown. 5 minutes after that message, another came: FYI don't tell anyone what I just told, people in building have to sign non-disclosure agreements! Not that I was going to tell anyone, but that sealed it. I went to the location and waited about 7 hours. Sounds extreme but not for me. My hobby is meeting musicians that mean something to me so I know the deal. Put in the time, usually reap the benefit! I chatted with some of the crew who slyly teased me "What are you doing here...who do you think is here...etc..." They hinted my time would be rewarded but I didn't put much faith in them...wrong on my part. I forgot to mention that I actually arrived at the studio when Johnny's car brought him in. He was quickly whisked inside. All that mattered to me was he was inside which meant he had to come out at some point. Every now and again I would check Twitter to see if maybe anyone was talking about Johnny or trying to see where filming was. Nothing. Everyone was focused on 'Once Upon A Time' or 'Arrow'! It's nearing 8:30 and crew had said filming would wrap by then. One even asked my name and said he would pass it along to Johnny. OK... sure. Just before 9pm my patience paid off. A quick nod from a crew member to ready myself and out walked Johnny Depp. I thought... who am I kidding... I wasn't thinking anymore. Johnny walks up and says "Hi Jennifer, I hear you have been waiting for me." I mutter a hello and ask if I could get a quick picture. After a hug, we take a few selfies, Johnny directing me to a better lighting angle. His security, who never leave his side, left us to talk. I guess my lack of freaking out put him at ease or maybe it was Johnny's interest in talking to me. We talked about his band, Hollywood Vampires, my longtime appreciation of his work, the seniors Johnny Depp fan club my mom sort of has back home on Quesnel with her friends and a bit more on music and wine. Hugs, photos and a personal autograph on an Edward Scissorhands postcard I love. All told I probably had 7-10 minutes with him, and I will never ever forget it. A genuine, kind, down to earth and borderline shy person - Johnny Depp is the best. No other will come close.

Description: Arnold Schwarzenegger was here in Vancouver filming a movie recently. I was walking in Yaletown, and I saw a car drive by with the window rolled down. It was Arnold. I ran after the car as it stopped at a light, but I was too late and it pulled away. Luckily it parked at a nearby restaurant, and Arnold posed for a photo with me!

Title: Selfie with Owen Wilson:

Description: I was just finishing up watching my Best friend at her beach volleyball tournament at Kitsilano Beach,when everyone started whispering about something and I felt so out of the loop. Finally I asked someone what was going on and they said "Owen Wilson is over there!" At that moment my heart fell to my stomach. I was so excited. I looked over and there he was on a bike all dressed up in his fancy but "casual" clothes. I kept asking everyone to come with me and get a selfie with him but no one would. Everyone was like "go do it", "go ask him", "the worst he can say is no". So as excited and nervous as I was I strutted my stuff over there with confidence and as soon as I got to him it's like I forgot how to speak. His head was turned the opposite way of me so he couldn't see me, so I, oh so lightly, touched his forearm and basically whispered "can I get a selfie?" and he looked back and wasn't even phased with the answer "last one." I quickly snapped the photo and I was so happy and excited that I was that close to Owen Wilson. I said thank you so much and walked away, but I still couldn't breathe. That was the best of my life!!!
