“I met him at a Tenacious D aftershow last year — he and Kyle came in, went round the room to everyone one-by-one and made sure to say hi and offer to take a photo with every single person. I thought it was a really nice touch.”
“Jack Black is hands down the kindest celebrity I have ever had the honor of meeting!!!! He was a regular of mine at a spot in West Hollywood for a few years, always called me by name, was super sweet, would take photos with fans, and then just go back to playing Bejeweled. One time, when I was begging my boss for an extra shift (I was $50 short on rent that was due in two days), he overheard the conversation and tipped me $100 on a $20-ish tab and told me he remembered living paycheck to paycheck and to enjoy my day off. From then on, he never left me less than a $50 tip and would always check in with me at the end of the month to make sure I had rent. Truly the BEST!!!!!”
“Jack Black is the best! I was living in Wellington, New Zealand, at the same time the King Kong movie was being filmed. My friend and I were having a drink to celebrate his birthday. Turned around, and there was most of the cast of King Kong! Adrien Brody, Naomi Watts, Jack Black, and a few people I didn’t recognize. I’d had a few drinks, so I managed the courage to go to the table. Adrien Brody and Naomi Watts bristled when they saw someone approaching, but I tapped Jack on the shoulder and told him it was my friend’s birthday, that he was a huge fan, and that he would love to meet him. Twenty minutes later, my friend went to the bathroom, and just then, Jack Black came over! I had a generic T-shirt with a Japanese symbol on it, and Jack’s opening line was, ‘Awesome T-shirt, do you do Karate?’ and he did some karate moves!
I had to confess, no. He then asked where my friend was, which was awkward for a minute, but then my friend came back, and there were hugs all round! Best guy ever.”
