'I Was So Happy': Henry Winkler Reveals FBI Agents Once Visited His Home To Meet Happy Days 'The Fonz'
Henry Winkler revealed on the 'SmartLess' podcast that FBI agents once showed up at his home just to 'meet the Fonz.' The episode was released on Monday, July 8.
During a talk on the SmartLess podcast, Henry Winkler shared a humorous anecdote about an unexpected visit from the FBI. On the episode aired on July 8, the 78-year-old actor recounted an incident where FBI officers came to his house, not for an official purpose, but simply to "see the Fonz."
Henry humorously described being at home in his apartment, listening to Dan Fogelberg on a rented record player playing vinyl records. He had just purchased the album from Tower Records in Sunset, Los Angeles. While immersed in nostalgia from his career, he heard a knock at the door.
Opening it, he was surprised to find three men with badges, initially feeling apprehensive due to their authority. However, they quickly reassured him that they weren't there for any serious matter; they simply wanted to meet Winkler, renowned for his iconic role as Fonzie on Happy Days. Relieved that he wasn't in trouble, Winkler chuckled about the incident and harbored no ill feelings toward the unexpected visit.
