Discussion Tony Todd was the first celebrity i met. He said “look we match” while pointing at my shirt. I couldn’t stop smiling

Tony Todd was one of the rare celebrities who appreciated his stardom, & didn’t let it go to his head, & genuinely loved his fans.
He will be missed.

Tony Todd was Daddy. Not just in a horny way but like, everyone I knew that did the horror con circuit said that he was one of the better celebs in terms of actually being a decent, humble person and not just putting on airs.

But also not not in a horny way. I mean, that voice.

THAT 👏VOICE👏. Candyman taught me some very confusing things about myself. “But he’s the BAD GUY, it’s the GOOD GUYS that are supposed to be attractive, what is happening, down is up and Coke is Pepsi.” Any time he showed up in something it was a god damn delight.

He was the first celebrity I have ever met as well. In fact, I believe we were at the same event based on your picture, which is where I met him. I got a photo and some selfies with him at it a couple years ago. It's wonderful you got to meet him and have such a sweet interaction. He truly was one of a kind.

Yeah, there were quite a few cool people there but not as many as past years. I got to hug Mick Foley though 🤷♀️

Okay guys, I’m going to say it five times tonight in my mirror. Maybe I’ll get super lucky and get vip escort to the afterlife.

I used to have that shirt! I lost it and have been looking to replace it for years.

Show that pretty face 🤣
Life’s too short to be self conscious.

u/horrorfan555 Nov 10 '24
While i am self conscious, it’s more about privacy. I rather go on long nerd rants while knowing it can’t be traced back to me

You're so lucky! I love this! I've been crushing on Tony Todd since 1990. I'd faint if he spoke to me.
