It’s Rex Manning Manic Monday! When Pinky Meets Empire Records Star Ethan Embry!

It’s Rex Manning Day!

Check out their full recap below!

_____________________________________________________________

Hello, my lovelies. Pinky Lovejoy-Coogan here still excited after finally meeting an actor I’ve admired since I first saw him on Sweet Home Alabama as Bobby Ray. That’s right, I’m talking about the adorable Ethan Embry. Now, Ethan is one of those actors who is allegedly around – I’ve heard he frequents a certain coffee play regularly and turns up at shows in the area.

In fact, I hear about people meeting him so much that it was kind of surprising I’d never even seen him before. Fellow fangirl Liz LOVES Ethan – he’s her #1 – so I’ve been hearing about him for as long as I’ve been in town. Still, he eluded me.

That is, until a few weeks ago. Keith and I had gone to support a concert called Lyme Light which was a benefit for Lyme disease. The show featured several bands including All American Rejects, Youngblood Hawke, and a performance by Aaron Embry, Ethan’s brother. When I heard Aaron Embry was on the list, I wondered if Ethan would be there (as I’d heard he usually goes to support his brother).

Still, I worried I wouldn’t recognize him, since I knew he looked a lot different from little Bobby Ray on Sweet Home Alabama. I quickly texted Liz and asked what I should watch for and she said he was still recognizable because of his big blue eyes. She was totally right! I knew when I saw those eyes that it was him. I waited until he was done with the conversation he was having and then I went in and asked him for a picture. He could not have been sweeter – what a cool guy!

But the best part of the evening happened a little later as we were leaving and noticed Ethan waiting at valet for his car. Keith went up to introduce himself to Ethan (as Keith was a fan of Ethan’s work) and then Ethan ended up fanboying out all over Keith!

It was so much fun to watch – Ethan was explaining to his friend who Keith was and told him all about the Babysitting movies. It was completely surreal. I loved it. They ended up getting all kinds of pictures taken by the paparazzi, too! What a fun night.
