Jessica Biel once took her dad on one of her dates because she was worried the man she was spending the evening with would be "weird".
The actress
auctioned a night in her company to raise medical funds for a Colorado teenager in 2006 and says she took her father along for support when she met with the winner. She said, "It was a little bit awkward, kind of uncomfortable but luckily the guy was very cool. I brought my dad with me just in case anything got weird he was sitting in the next booth staring daggers at the poor guy but he was a really completely harmless gentleman."
The winning bidder, John Schiffner,
paid $30,000 for the date. The money raised was donated to Molly Bloom, who had been injured in a car accident.
