When attending a premiere for the hottest new movie, two brothers were surprised to find bonafide celebrities in attendance.

Before they could even think about asking for an autograph, the couple waltzed ahead of everyone else in line.

Unbeknownst to them, the brothers plotted their seating strategically, resulting in a moment of cinematic justice fit for the big screen.

You’re going to want the details.

Scott Baio

Some night in 1985, I’m standing outside a movie theater on Ventura Boulevard with my brother.

We are first in line to see the next sold out showing of Witness with Harrison Ford.

We had been in line for about 45 minutes when a sports car pulls up in front of the theater.

A guy gets out, tosses his keys to one of the ushers and he walks into the theater with his date ahead of everyone in line.

This wasn’t any ordinary guy.

“I think that was Heather Locklear or Heather Thomas,” says someone in line.

Someone else says “yeah, and the AH is Scott Baio.”

Our blood was boiling!

The brothers weren’t going to let this slide.

When they finally pulled the rope, we ran past the concession stand and into the theater, to find Scott and Heather sitting in the sweet spot seats in the middle.

My brother and I said nothing to each other, but decisively made our way to the row in front of them.

They had a secret weapon that was sure to thwart the celebrity couple’s viewing experience.

I’m 6’5” and my brother is 6’6”, and with perfect ram straight posture we took our seats immediately in front of the couple.

Folks started filling in on either side of them so they could not move.

The movie stars immediately took notice.

Heather asked Scott to “Say something to them. I can’t see a thing!”

My brother was literally vibrating, waiting for any excuse to snap, but Scott was justifiably silent.

As the trailers began, the couple started muttering that they couldn’t see the screen.

And, boom, they were gone.

Half way into the opening credits, Scott and Heather finally had to get up and leave the theater as there were no other available seats.

End scene.

They may have been famous enough to cut the line, but these tall brothers still got the better of them.

What did Reddit have to say?

The brothers weren’t the only ones with an unusual encounter with Scott Baio.

Oh, to be tall.

Scott who?

The brothers couldn’t help but savor their sudden exit, all while enjoying the show from the perfect spot.

Celebrity status only gets you so far.
