Famous?
I’m looking for a story to illustrate the theme that we don’t always recognise people when we meet them ‘out of context’ or with a new ‘look’, until they do or say something that gives them away - as with the men on the road to Emmaus who knew Jesus when he broke the bread and gave thanks

Hi Wendy, hope it’s not too late?
This story is a few years old but it does relate to your theme:

Or this one about my friend meeting Matt Damon in a coffee shop in London:

Hope that helps

Thanks Rach, great stories!
Interesting to think about why the couple on the Emmaus road didn’t recognise Jesus. Was he looking different? Did he hide in a cloak (as in Miracle Maker)? Were they unable to imagine it was the dead man? I think one key to the significance of the story is eucharistic (he was known in the breaking of bread), and another is in the idea of presence, known or unknown.
I have a guided story script on the story if you’d like it
