Hey man, during my paparazzo days, I saw you once at LAX picking up your parents. From what I know the pictures never really got published or went anywhere. You were awesome to talk too and the reunion with your mom and dad was in my view, pretty damn cute. I wanted to share the pictures here now that I have a chance.

This was back in November 20th, 2009. They are unedited, I could do some light photoshop and make them even better.

Proof I took 'em.

How do your parents and family feel about your fame and success? I mean, I'm sure they are super proud, but are they still collecting anything Ken Jeong related article?

Thanks for doing this AMA, you are hilarious!!

Basically Radcliffe got it right. This though, is pretty difficult with women who no matter what will try to look great in their outfits (I guess not all women, ehem.. Kristen Stewart).

Jessica Simpson ruined a huge sale once. I had her perfect, she was nice and smiling and my boss called me to tell me the pictures were selling.

She decided to tweet a picture of her wearing a wig on the airplane. The twitter picture made it to the magazines as everyone called to cancel the pay. Basically if the celebrity throws the picture online for free (or has a deal with a mag) they destroy the paparazzi's efforts.

Leo Di Caprio is also good at making his pictures worthless (and worth a lot at the same time), but he takes it a step further. I heard that even when he goes out to restaurants he asks for the table that faces a wall, doesn't look up to the waiter and never takes off his hat or sunglasses.

.... are you a celebrity? Cuz there's even more things that you could do to make your picture worthless (or for the paparazzi to be worthless). Good luck to you!

The worst one that haunted me for days.... was Marcia Cross' twin daughters birthday with her husband that had cancer.

It was super creepy, worked with a partner, never left the car where I was hidden and took pictures of them enjoying a day in the park. When they went for coffee later, they saw us and they were super chill and nice people. Seriously, I couldn't believe they were so nice. They knew we were always there in the car taking pictures and thank us for giving them their space. Still super creepy. I hated that job.

I'm sure I did more similar things... you know.. being a creep is part of the job. But that's the one I just remembered right now.

Never really did anything "invasive" out of the ordinary that I can think off. Bruce Willis did call the cops on me once because he said I was trying to get into his property. This was not true, I simply was peeing in a bush in Mulholland ave...

Odd? There's no odd similarities. Celebrities are people. They have two ears, two eyes, a mouth and a nose, two arms (etc. etc.)

ohh ohh

I see your redditor name now.

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's bodyguard was super chill. He always told me how things were going to go down, didn't block my picture, just did his job.

Fergie's bodyguard is like her best friend. He was also always awesome.

Jessica Simpson's bodyguard told me about all the people he had worked with before. He was also a former cop and marine. I asked him what would he do if I was an actual threat. In less than a second my arms were locked painfully behind my back and couldn't move. Super badass.
