This post is way over due but I’ve been lazy what can I say.
About a month ago I went to see a show with some friends called “Love, Loss and What I Wore”. As a sidenote: short, very entertaining and I recommend going with girlfriends. Anyway I digress.
Before the show we went to dinner at Tavern on Rush… one of my favorite places to eat in the Viagra triangle. We were enjoying our dinner (King Crab is fabulous here) upstairs when I noticed a hotty walking up the stairs wearing a beret. Normally I’m not into guys in beret’s but this one suited him very nicely. As I looked closer it occurred to me that I had seen this person before. I couldn’t remember where and then it hit me, Titanic! He was the bad guy from Titanic! Yes folks, it was Billy Zane. And although I’ve been reminded again and again, he not that big of an actor anymore, he used to be! He sat at a booth about two tables away and I can proudly say I had dinner with him.
He was absolutely adorable with his daughter and I think he was there with his parents. I thought about going up to him and saying “I hated you in Titanic! You killed Jack!” but I restrained. Instead I turned around and tried to take a photo of him without him noticing. He totally saw me flustering to take the photo and smiled at me. Here’s my lame attempt at taking a picture of BZ.

Damn the focus on these phones! Either way, my first celebrity sighting! And can I say, time has been good to him!
A focused in Billy Zane
So hot despite the pounds he’s gained since Titanic. Loved the baby and the hat.
haha, well how many pounds have you gained since Titanic? haha
Hahaha – I love Billy Zane, I still think he’s a big actor.
