Anderson Cooper probably has one of the best (weirdest? scariest?) stories about meeting Michael Jackson.

On last night's Anderson Cooper 360, he recounted the tale of first meeting the King of Pop as a little kid. Coop was 10 years old and partying at Studio 54 with a bunch of people, one of them being Michael Jackson. He is the son of Gloria Vanderbilt, so this must have just been normal?

Now, little 10-year-old Anderson Cooper didn't really know who M.J. was, but he did think, "Oh, that guy's a really good dancer." Of course, A.C. did not join in on the dancing fun because he does not dance—not with Ellen, not with Michael Jackson and definitely not with a bunch of crazy people at Studio 54 as a 10-year-old.
