There's lots to do in Brainerd during the Summer.  Many of us head that way multiple times through the season.  Whether it's a family trip hanging with the kids or a trip with friends to explore the lakes by day and enjoy the restaurants and bars at night.

So we really shouldn't be surprised when a celebrity shows up to enjoy the area for all those same reasons.  But it's still fun and surprising to experience running into a celebrity.

And this weekend lots of folks in Brainerd are enjoying seeing Miles Teller hanging out.  He is, of course, the star of 'Top Gun: Maverick'.  He played Goose's son, Rooster, and got high praise for his role in that movie.

He also recently starred in the Series 'The Offer' where he played Albert Ruddy in the story about the making of the movie 'The Godfather'.  If you haven't seen that yet, look it up.  It's an incredible story.

Ha!  Sadly for her, he is married.  But from the looks of all the comments, Miles chatted and took pictures with many people.
