CHIKLIS AMAZED BY OBSESSED COMIC FANS
FANTASTIC FOUR star MICHAEL CHIKLIS was amazed when he went to his first comic book convention, because he had no idea how obsessed some fans are.
The 43-year-old, who plays Ben Grimm in Fantastic Four and its recent sequel Rise Of The Silver Surfer, always thought of himself as a comic nerd until he went to a convention.
He tells American magazine Maxim, "Fantastic Four fans are a rabid fanboy geek set.
"I've always considered myself a comic book fan, but after meeting the Fantastic Four die hards, I realised I was just a kid who liked comics.
"I remember stepping out of the car one year at Comic-Con and seeing a dozen Imperial Storm Troopers (from Star Wars) walk past me, and I was like, 'Oo-o-kay.'
"It's not like they were wearing shoddy, homemade costumes - these guys looked perfect. They could have been in the flick. They're in their 40s and still dressing up like superheroes and vampires.
"It was a strange experience."
