Flight attendant's best celeb encounters from Jamie Foxx to Mary-Kate Olsen
A flight attendant who has rubbed shoulders and served plane food to the stars has spilled the secrets of some of her favourite A-list encounters.
Emily Kelly, who posts as thehungryflightattendant on Youtube, has explained what it is like to be working the aisles when the likes of Jamie Foxx and Mary-Kate Olsen turn up. The social media flight attendant was on shift when both the A-listers boarded.
She said that Jamie was travelling with his daughter, adding: "Jamie was super friendly. He smiled a lot and was very nice, and he didn't ask for anything on the flight. His daughter was so sweet and so down to earth."
When Mary-Kate settled herself onto the plane a short while later, the Emily said her "inner child freaked out" - having grown "up watching the Olsen twins on everything".
She added: "When I saw that I was going to have her on my flight, oh my gosh. She was so tiny and so cute. She smiled, greeted us, made eye contact, was very friendly when she came on, but she went right to sleep and didn't ask for anything."

Mary-Kate and Jamie F are far from the only VIPs Emily has spotted during her time in the skies. On one occasion she met Australian actor Joel Edgerton, who she described as "one of the most, humble kind people I've ever met". She was also excited to have met not one but two celebrity chefs throughout her travels - being an enthusiastic foodie herself and regular posting cooking tips on her social media channels.
The first was Paula Deen who the cabin crew member described as "so friendly and so warm" and "just like a sweet, little warm grandma". She also got to fly alongside celebrity chef Bobby Flay.
"He was in First Class and I was in the class right behind so I watched him the whole flight," she joked, adding that after the journey she braved asking for a selfie which he kindly obliged.
Comedian Michael Blackson was another star where she had a memorable encounter, after he shared a photo of them on Instagram. Although Emily noted she had an influx of followers, the rumours quickly appeared with people asking her if the pair were dating.
She recalled: "I mean, he already had a million followers on Instagram, so that's famous, but this was before he was very, very famous. He put a picture of us on his Instagram and I got like 500 new followers from that.
"He was like 'this is my flight attendant' and tagged me and then people thought we were dating and were commenting on my Instagram. I was like 'oh my gosh, this is crazy' but he was super friendly [and] super, super kind."
