Celebrity Sighting?

I've heard it happens, and if I remember correctly, it happened to my friend JR and I in Zambia several years back. You're in a country/town where whatever race you are, you are in such minority that you are a novelty. You actually become the opposite of a tourist attraction, where the locals want to have their picture taken with you. Naturally, since we are in Malaysia, this did not happen to me -- for the past two weeks and the next six weeks, I will become whatever race of the country I happen to be visiting. But Andy on the other hand, sticks out like a sore thumb. Tall, pale, and White wearing zip-away shorts, hiking boots, baseball cap, and backpack, he looks nothing like us little Asians.

Despite this, we were quite taken aback when walking around Penang Hill two Asian men glossed past me and straight away asked Andy for a picture. Like any obliging person, Andy acquiesced, quite wrongly assuming that they wanted him to take a picture of them on the stairway. Since I was a good 20 feet away by this point, all I heard was, "You want a picture WITH me?" So here it is, a picture of some random guy taking a picture of his friend...and Andy. I had a hard time keeping my composure as Andy walked away looking bewildered. But perhaps I am wrong, and they mistook Andy for some celebrity? Ben Affleck? The ex-Wiggles guy?! Or did they simply think Andy was hot and wanted a picture to remember him by? Who knows...novelty, celebrity, or hot guy, it was hilarious.
