Melissa Stetten
Well, this is hilarious. While on a plane yesterday, model Melissa Stetten found herself seated next to some dude named Brian who kept trying to pick her up using all of the most tried and true methods: talking about how it was divine intervention that they sat next to each other, bragging about what a good, down-home guy he is, and meanwhile dropping hints about how he’s maybe kind of famous by talking about a project he worked on with Kurt Russell.
To amuse herself during this grueling ordeal (and it is grueling to be stuck on a plane with some douchebag that you can’t escape), Stetten live-tweeted the whole thing.
Well, it turned out that “Brian” was actually actor Brian Presley, and that while Stetten was tweeting, fellow actor Pat Healy figured out who she was talking about, and blew his cover — Presley, it turns out, is married, with a five-year-old kid.
The whole exchange is gaining steam ’round the internet this morning, and so to answer Stetten’s own question (see below), yes — she did just ruin Brian Presley’s life via Twitter.
No thanks, Brian, the actor sitting next to me on this flight talking about his role with Kurt Russell and his spiritual beliefs.

Brian is now talking about how he is an artist and believes everything happens for a reason, like how we’re brought together on this flight.

Brian has a wedding ring. I ask him how his wife is, he says he just wears the ring because he likes it. Right, Brian.

Apparently Brian is a straightforward guy from Oklahoma who booked a McDonalds commercial when he was 19 and then God took over from there.

Brian hates closed minded people but loves artists in the industry, and just called this one-sided conversation a “collabo” between us.

Brian just said “like us sitting here right now, talking about where we’re from, it’s like divine interception.” right, interception.

Brian asked what I do for a living. I said model. He said “oh I love meeting other artists like myself.”

Brian just finished working on a movie with Matthew McConaughey who inspired his “craft” immensely being a small town boy like himself.

He said he was engaged for 6 months but broke it off! RT @Pat_Healy: @MelissaStetten Ask him how his wife Erin and son Jackson are.
