ゲイナー モデル 見た? 会った?

This is one mistake I hear from time to time. "I met a famous actor." when he/she actually means he/she saw a famous actor. When we meet (会う) someone we say exchange words and converse. When we see (見る）someone we only see them from a distance and don't say anything to each other.

Anyway, even though Tokyo is a huge city we get a chance to bump into celebrities quite often. Just last week, I saw (not met) the model in the picture above. Do you know him? I think he looks like my oldest nephew but my wife and daughter don't think so. I have seen him in the same cafe a few times now. Sorry, I can't divulge my juicy secret because I don't want to intrude on his privacy.

He must be quite a looker. Some young ladies couldn't take their eyes off him. Some even peered in thru the shop window. It reminds me of Rod Stewart's song "Some guys have all the luck." The man's got style!!!
