Stephen Curry is one of the most popular players in the NBA right now. But believe it or not, he still has trouble getting some people to believe that he's over 21.
He just did an interview with Dime and, during that interview, he was asked if people still ask him for ID when he tries to order beer because of his "baby face." And he admitted that, despite his success in the NBA, he does run into a problem when it comes to ordering beer. In fact, he ran into an issue earlier this summer during a night out with his wife.
"It happened at California Pizza Kitchen in the Bay Area like 15 minutes from my house," he said. "Me and my wife went to dinner, and we didn't have our daughter with us...So I ordered a beer and I didn't have my ID with me 'cause I left it in the car and I thought [the waitress] would recognize me. So the waitress asks [for my ID] and I was like, 'Uh, is your manager here?' and I took my chances with him knowing who I was and…he knew. But she basically, yeah, she wouldn't give me the benefit of the doubt, knowing that I didn't look like I was over 21 and not knowing who I was."
For what it's worth, Curry does still look like a young guy. But c'mon. How do you mistake him for a teenager? And better yet, how do you not know who Curry is if you're living in the Bay Area? Kudos to California Pizza Kitchen for doing their best to curb underage drinking but this is too funny.
