\u201cMeet him at the lobby entrance at 1 p.m. You\u2019ll recognize him :)\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the only instruction.<\/p>\n

At 1 p.m., Benicio Del Toro<\/a> wanders, a little hesitantly, into the Peninsula Beverly Hills. He has no entourage. He\u2019s wearing a black windbreaker, an Oakland A\u2019s cap pulled low over his tousled hair and those famous drowsy eyes. At 6-foot-2, he\u2019s an unmissable presence in this gilded foyer. Then again, it\u2019s Benicio Del Toro. He\u2019d be unmissable in a snowstorm.<\/p>\n

He scans the sun-drenched lobby: society ladies in Chanel<\/a> suits nibbling cucumber sandwiches, a harpist drifting through afternoon tea. Then he veers toward a dim, wood-paneled bar off to the side and slides into a banquette.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll have a light beer,\u201d I tell the waiter.<\/p>\n

Del Toro does not order a beer, leaving my \u201cfew small beers\u201d bit \u2014 a reference…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
