Twitter is abuzz with Asheville’s latest celebrity sighting: actor Tim Robbins was apparently spotted gnoshing at Greenlight Cafe on Lexington Avenue and then attending the big Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes show over at the Orange Peel. Did anyone else see Robbins?
Robbins was hanging with his girlfriend, a woman whose son is reportedly a member of the Magnetic Zeroes, according to the tweet. Robbins broke up with longtime partner and fellow actor Susan Sarandon a year or so ago.
Robbins is well familiar with Asheville. Back in the day, Robbins filmed scenes for a little movie called Bull Durham over at historic McCormick Field, a movie in which he and Sarandon starred. Hope Tim enjoyed his visit.
Any other celebs spotted around Asheville? So far this year, we’ve had Obama, The Edge and Zach Galifinakis, just to name a few.

omg— i really thought you meant THE egde— what a freakiing let down!!!!!!
Don’t you think that if Tim Robbins, a 6’5" celebrity, had been in town that he would have noticed by more than one person at a yokel resturant? He was NOT here.
yep he’s here. my brother saw him (had to wait for him to cross in the pedestrian path) off merrimon ave! 😉
James Franco has been seen around east Asheville, he is currently attending Warren Wilson College to get his Masters in Fine Art for Poetry.
Also, it’s ‘Zeros’-one ‘e’.
Tim was here back in 2004 for the Vote For Change concert, he sang a song with Pearl Jam that night.
Tim Robbins is filming a movie in Los Angeles right now and has been for the last two weeks. Doubt this sighting was true. Looks like this lady on twitter needs glasses.
So glad that was cleared up! I was wondering how I could have possibly missed hearing about a sighting of The Edge! I
The Edge = U2 guitarist
Edge = pro wrassler
Only Edge has been spotted in town.
