So.....talk about famous people we met?

I've met a couple generals, though the only one that made an impression was Maj Gen. McMahon, mostly because he was just a really cool guy, took the time to talk to just about everyone around, even Cadet ushers(what I was doing). That being said I think the most famous people I ever met were the Thunderbirds when my dad was part of their police escort at an airshow. Cool bunch of guys from what I remember, though I was little at them time.

Yea, most famous people are pretty chill in real life. The whole crazy and weird reputations are usually just for show. I had a drink with Joe Pesci and John Daley once, was just like being at the bar with the guys.
You had a drink with a guy George Carlin prayed to?
Oh the envy, it hurts!

OT:I've been asked for directions by a famous singer (by Estonia's standards), nothing out of the ordinary, really.

How about you?
I never met her but I was about 15m from the Queen at one point.
You were that close to Elton John? Wow! (I'm fairly sure someone has already done an Elton John/Queen of England joke before. Sorry)

I've met Bill Nighy. Jolly nice chap.

I suggest a blog instead of forums for stuff like this.
Then what is the point of forums? Literally every function of a forum can be done in some other type of publishing.

The only thing a forum does that other thing do not.. is promote conversation.

Maybe he wanted to talk to people about it.

This IS an off topic forum..... this post does seem OFF topic. This is exactly the place for it.

Also... if he had published this to his blog.... there is no way i would have seen it.

If he had a whole series of stories where he encountered famous people.. then yea... maybe a blog would do.... but this is a one off thing.

God it pisses me off when people try to make up their own rules.... and it pisses me off even more then those made up rules are arbitrary and personal preference.
Sheesh chill. He didn't add the question at the end until I told him so calm down. Before that there would've been just "cool story bro" comments.

I don't quite know why but my mind first interpretted this as, you having the queen at gunpoint. I'm presuming and hoping this wasn't the case...

Most famous person I've met was Jimmy Carr (not that massively famous) I asked for a hug and got one :D

Yeah, she's actually quite normal and talented as you can see on this video which shows her before she became Lady GaGa
She only does that whole Gaga thing for the show because people like stuff like that.

OT: I've never really met anyone world famous. The most famous person I've met is the rapper Stress at a club where he was hanging out but he isn't really internationally famous, he's mostly known in Switzerland.

I never actually recognized and spoke to a celebrity personally, but while I had business in North Hollywood, Mom (who took me there) was looking at the statues of celebrities decorating the place and said she saw Dustin Hoffman (not the statue, but the actual person). She said he gave her a weird look and she realized it was probably because from that angle, it looked like she was kissing a statue.

I did see Jake Gyllenhaal when my sister took me out for birthday brunch, but I didn't recognize him. She did though, and after he left and the waitress cleared their table for us, she tried asking as naturally as possible, "So... was there anyone... famous sitting here before us?" And the waitress replied rather blandly, "Oh yeah, that was Jake."

got an autograph for my big gay brother.
Damn I didn't have a camera.
In case you're on the edge of your seat. Her next video will very likely feature corn fields.
That's easily the most famous person I've ever met.
How about you were they as normal as you thought they be?
Oh my goddesses, that is SO COOL! ^^ I love Lady Gaga! She's one of the best artists (and I don't just mean musical artists) of the current century. ^^

**squees**

That is so cool! ^^

I've had nice little chat with our President Tarja Halonen.
And I don't know if this counts, but the lead signer of Ensiferum is a friend of mine.

My dad apparently met one of the actors from Coronation Street in a park. He had a chat with him about his kids who were playing in the park. As for me, I've never met anyone who would be considered a "celebrity". And don't really want to.

Well I met Brad Pitt the other month whilst working as an extra on World War Z. And before that I met Sean Bean on the set of Game Of Thrones. Both were really polite and friendly :)

Bloody hell, how have so many of you met celebrities? It's not like they just fall out of the sky...
Anyway, i've never met a celebrity and i'm not too sure i'd want to meet a proper one, maybe some sort of web celebrity... if I met Matthew Taranto that'd be rockin ^.^

I had a brief encounter with Tommy Dreamer(wrestler) once, we acknowledged each other and shook hands. That was pretty much it.

I have Ed Byrne's autograph.

Also, Greg Davies wished me a happy birthday during one of his gigs, and I got a photo with him afterwards.
