'Once, oh man, thank goodness I’ve never run into him since, but I served Rod Stewart. I don’t even know if he knows. I don’t think he knows.'. Stephen joked: 'He knows now. Change your locks, man. He’s vengeful. You could theoretically run into Rod Stewart sometime and now he knows to punch you.'.
