Speaking to guest host Anthony Anderson, Winkler said: “I was in a restaurant, and I walked up to Mick Jagger and I said, ‘Hello, I’m Henry Winkler and I have all of your albums.’”According to the actor, Jagger simply turned his head and nodded, “Henry”, in response.
“I slunk out of the restaurant,” Winkler added. “I went, ‘I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to disturb you. Enjoy the sushi. It was such a pleasure. I love your outfit.’”
Winkler previously won an Emmy in 2018 for his role in Barry, where he plays eccentric acting coach Gene Cousineau. He was also nominated in 2019 in the same category.
