Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk is still a recognizable figure when he’s out in public. Or should we say, recognizable-ish.
He’s wound up in so many silly encounters that he’s taken to sharing them on X. Let’s check out some of the funniest Tony Hawk encounter stories!
1. Is this an insult or a compliment?
At Disneyland with kids, waiting in line for churros. Girl in front of me: “you look like Tony Hawks”
— Tony Hawk (@tonyhawk) June 15, 2019
me: really?
her: “yes”
me: Is that good?
her, nonplussed: “I guess so”
You’ll find that there’s a bit of a theme when it comes to Tony Hawk’s appearance. For the record — I think you’re handsome, Tony Hawk!
2. Do famous people need IDs?
At will call: I have 2 tickets for Hawk

agent: “Can I see your ID?”
me: I forgot it but I have a credit card
other agent: “He’s Tony Hawk”
agent: “he doesn’t have ID”
guy behind me: “that’s him”
agent: “I can’t find your name”
me: there is no E on the end
agent: “here you go”
It seems like this agent thinks so. I mean, how else would you know how to spell “Hawk”? Looking at the event sign?
