Chris Stapleton On Being Mistaken For Another Celebrity
Chris Stapleton stopped by The Jennifer Hudson Show earlier this week.
The country star performed, but also sat down with Jennifer Hudson to talk about the huge influence his wife has on his music and open up about their children’s relationship with his fame.
But then Chris revealed how he reacts when he’s mistaken for another celebrity.
“I get Jamey Johnson a lot. He and I used to joke with each other, like, ‘Hey, does anybody think that you were me today,’ anytime we see each other. It’s happened to me a bunch in Nashville in particular with people who are fans of his that are also fans of mine. I’ve had people have full conversations. But at the Grammy Awards, there’s a line to get in, you’re walking into the building, they heard us in there, and some guy just starts losing his mind like, ‘Man I love your music so much. I was in Steel Drivers at the time, the first time we ever been nominated for anything. It was a bluegrass band. Nobody knew who we were at the moment. And he just kept going on and on. I was like, ‘Man, you don’t even know who I am do you?’ He’s like, ‘Yeah you’re in Lynyrd Skynyrd!'”
