He Was a Celebrity!
Alex’s suspicion was correct. The man was none other than Matthew Broderick, and Alex realized he was remembering Matthew from the 80’s iconic ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’, a favorite movie of his back then. Matthew was not with Sarah Jessica Parker that day and seemed in no hurry as he chatted with Alex and his daughter. Alex then asked Matthew for something.
A Decade Later
A Twitter user named @HonoredSpirit posted the background story of this day, online, ten years later. His tweets were about Matthew Broderick’s daily life, specifically. Obviously, the star was the key player in this encounter with Alex at the pharmacy, but as it turned out, the main story was not so much about Matthew, as it was about another well-known face.
