Morissette's Twice-Met Hero: A Coffee Date with John Ritter
5 Nov
Summary
- Alanis Morissette met idol John Ritter twice, first at an exercise studio.
- Ritter initiated a coffee meeting years later, leading to an uplifting chat.
- Morissette also shared less successful encounters with Annie Lennox and Taylor Hawkins.
Alanis Morissette recently shared details of her interactions with idol John Ritter, describing two distinct encounters. The "Ironic" singer first saw Ritter at an exercise studio shortly after moving to Los Angeles, but she refrained from introducing herself despite being a devoted fan of "Three's Company." Morissette later had a second opportunity when Ritter approached her at a Starbucks. This led to a "lovely chat" over coffee, which Morissette described as mutually uplifting.
In the same discussion, Morissette contrasted these experiences with a brief meeting with Annie Lennox at the BRIT Awards, which did not develop into a deeper connection. She also fondly remembered the late Foo Fighters drummer, Taylor Hawkins, who served as her touring drummer. Morissette described Hawkins as an "instant soul brother" with whom she shared a mutually supportive relationship until his passing, highlighting his kindness and validation.
