Selfie with Franzi and David
Her Report
Meeting David Anders was planned for the Enchanted Convention for Once Upon A Time in Birmingham, June 14th to 16th.
Meeting him at the airport in Frankfurt, Germany meanwhile is a whole different story!
A friend of mine was lucky enough to meet a Once actor once at an airport and I said to her:
Why do these things never happen to me? She just asked me straight face back which actor ever played in Once is from Germany?!
We had a good laugh.
So I had nothing like what happened on my mind when waiting for boarding for my flight from Frankfurt to Birmingham last Friday.
I sat at the chairs, waited for the first people to get in (I always wait before getting in line), played a game on my tablet, thinking of nothing. And just when I put my tablet away to finally get up and in line someone sat across from me.
SCHOCK! I recognize this face......
And I told him 'I know you!' excited as I was. He waved and smiled.
His girlfriend said her goodbyes (toilet? Don't know) so he was alone.
And I just HAD to. I mean, these things NEVER HAPPEN TO ME!
So I leaned a little bit over and said "I have to ask, is it okay to take a Selfie?!" and he immediately agreed.
I went over to the free chair next to him and told him the story of my friend and he explained he just came from LA.
Then I saw his red eyes and asked again if the Selfie would be okay.
I mean, no one wants to look like straight from bed on Selfies (unless it's planned lol). He again said, of course!
Well, what a nice man! He took the Selfie because I was way to much shaking of excitement.
I mean, I didn't prepare for something like this ;)
Later that day, at the so called reception (kind of a Meet&Greet dinner with the actors and fans with gold tickets) he told my friends on their table that I winked at him and he came over to me.
And I said that we're heading the same way and he didn't bloody know what I meant with that! :D
Well, we do remember it a little bit differently haha but he did remember me and when I said my goodbyes on Sundays autographs and said "until next time at the Frankfurt airport" he smiled brightly, got up from his chair and hugged me!
Awesome man :)
