I got to meet him once when I was 19 years old in 1994. He was the nicest guy. He was walking alone near Park Avenue and 23rd street in NYC. At the time I wasn't thinking...this is the former president's son because I wasn't even born yet when JFK died in 63. I just was thinking this is Jacqueline Onassis son because she was often in the news at the time and I would see JFK jr in the news as well. When I got the nerve up I said hi...are you Jacqueline Onassis son? He nodded kind of shyly yes. All I could say was nice to meet you. He waved and that was all. He was a very nice person and surprisingly... he wasn't being bothered by people on the street considering it was a beautiful afternoon on a work day in NYC. Looking back now that I'm older and knowing how famous and popular he was and still is...I appreciate that he didn't ignore me as I know he must have often been approached by lots of people in his travels. I'm glad I got the chance to say I got to meet JFK jr as his father is a hero of mine after learning so much about him over the last 20 years.
@@qazmanchannelHi! I really like that question! I was a Black teenager growing up in Brooklyn during the 1990s. Even at age 18, I knew JFK jr was viewed as a handsome man. He was always described by the media, women and even men as being a person that had an undeniable sex appeal. Now, when I saw him the day I mentioned, it was then that I got the concept of what it meant when someone is said to have the "it" factor. I got what it means to be born with it. He was dressed in a tee shirt and shorts if my memory is correct. It was late spring ,early summer at the time. He was definitely not in a suit that's for sure. He looked more handsome in person then he looked on TV. Which seems impossible because he already looked handsome on TV. He was in great shape. Very fit not too skinny. His hair was perfectly in place. He was shaved. No facial hair. Keep in mind, this was a work day in lower Manhattan which is usually busy. My attention was drawn to him as I was walking toward him because he had an undeniable movie star appeal about his appearance. He seem to be just strolling. Not in any hurry. No one was with him and no one was stopping him. But, he had an aura that said, dignified and cool at the same time to me. Then I recognized who he was because he was in the news a lot in NYC at the time due to his mother's illness. I then approached and somewhat nervously asked if he was Jackie Onasis son. He replied with a nod yes. I replied nice to meet you. He waved at me as if he was saying hello. I remember as I walked away from him afterwards and thinking to myself, what's wrong with me, he is also the president's son and I didn't acknowledge that when I asked him who he was. I actually felt dumb and wished I could redo it all over. But, It was way too brief a moment. I wished I could have talked longer with him. He really appeared to be a very down to earth person. Very handsome, cool and real. All in one. I hope this gives you a picture of him from my personal account. It will always be a memorable experience for me that I will never forget. He is actually one of the few people I admire and hold in high regard. When he passed on, I was so sad and it took me a long time to get over his passing. I'm still not fully over it. After he passed I started doing my research on who he was as a person. I am very thankful that I got to meet him.
@@danielrobinson9270 Hi Daniel! Thank you for the lengthy reply i appreciate, if you really want to learn more about John as who he was I highly highly recommend you read a book called fairytale interrupted which was written by his close friend/ secretary Rose Marie terenzio. She was his executive secretary at George. It’s an amazing insight to both him and Carolyn bessette. Also let me tell you this, those years you may have felt in embarrassed about asking if he’s jackie’s son, don’t be! As much John understood he was famous and the family he came from, he hated the attention, more so the paparazzi, especially in New York everyone knew who he was, he always wanted to visit a town or country where people didn’t know him, you asking who he was probably made his day and made him laugh a little as that doesn’t happen to him often ESPECIALLY in Manhattan. He was the closest thing to a real life Bruce Wayne lol!
@@qazmanchannel Hi! You are definitely welcome. I really enjoyed your reply. I had to smile and laugh because you are so right. It must have been a different experience for JFK jr, the most famous and recognized man in the world being asked who he was. Hey...that was a 19 yr old me. 😂. From that day, I watched and caught anything JFK jr that was in print and on TV . How he appeared personality wise on TV, was no different than how he was in person. I am looking forwarded to getting my hands on the book you recommended. I've read one book called John and Me written by Matt Berman. It was a great book as well about the author's personal relationship with JFK jr. What a fascinating person JFK jr was. He was certainly the Bruce Wayne of NYC. He would have been a great mayor, governor and even U.S. president. Thank you for reaching out to me. Please let me know if you come across anything you feel would be great info on JFK jr. I will do the same. Stay safe and well.
that is what was so endearing about him... he was so polite and easygoing... He had no pompous arrogant energy. No trace of suffering from an inflated sense of self.... He's the most legendary hunk of all time. RIP
Well I read the when he was in college he went to a party dressed as a Greek statue complete with white powder on is hair and a white robe. His body was powdered white too. I"m sure the women fainted.
@Katiekay.: What sane woman alive didn’t have and still doesn’t have a crush on JFK, Jr. ?! The guy was gorgeous. I still have an image of him from decades ago - playing football -- in shorts -- and shirtless. (yes, a very superficial comment)
@@lilybond6485 Omg the shirtless football pics!! Dude.... You know it girl!! thanks for reminding me. I could watch footage of him for hours... Thank God we have those moments documented because nobody alive can even come close to the sexiness that that man so naturally exuded. He had such an endearing way of laughing off the press when it was just him leisurely strolling around the streets of NY. Even when they swarmed the outside of his office at the Manhattan DA building after the "scandalous" news broke that he failed the NY bar exam( 2 times I believe). He owned it and never let their intrusive barrage of questions ruffle his feathers. I still love seeing clips of him riding his bike to work in a suit everyday, playing football in central park, carrying his dry-cleaning and groceries home. I mean what straight man can make rollerblading look sexy? Is there even one single man alive that is comparable to him??? crickets... crickets... Yep I know.... the answer is a resounding NO... Tragic
@Katiekay: I enjoyed reading your comment and taking a mental stroll down memory lane. I truly believe that there IS NOT and HAS NOT been a “man alive” that could compete with JFK, Jr. It’s just not possible. The looks, calm sense of cool and off the chart charisma. That was a huge mistake that happened in the fabric of the universe that day. I made the same exclamation as I did with Princess Diana when the news came on about their deaths - “Oh no - no - this is a mistake”. It would have been so nice to watch him get even better looking with age as many men do.
Yes, I did think that and imagined them becoming romantically involved. Imagine what kind of charismatic explosion that would have been - both walking into a room. 💥
He looked husky, not real slender like JFK. And walking around like a regular person was kinda risky to me, John Lennon tried to do that. Anyway i always liked him in interviews and he may have been president one day.
Wow I just slowed down the speed & turned up the volume. OMG, Sound to me,like dark evil coming putting so,e curse on him. I don’t know you guys it’s just wierd
That’s George Onassis owner of GEORGE magazine. He took over the real JFK Jr identity at age 10 with help from the government. Parents are Maria Callas and Aristotle Onassis. Died 1999.
While folks laugh at that comment, I’ve done research as well after listening to David Keith Quigley, and this is very possible. He looks just like his sibling, Ghislaine Maxwell.
I have a friend from college on the rugby team with me that looked just like jfk jr. His nickname was fittingly JFK. He later died IRL under suspicious circumstances.
@MrJohnnyb42: Well, if that is true, then maybe it wasn’t his own lack of responsibility and carelessness that brought his plane down. - but unfortunately he caused his own death and the deaths of 2 innocent people.
It is hilarious that everyone equates his good looks to the type of person he must have been. He may or may not have been a great person, a dummy, a womanizer, and so forth. Who knows?
