World War Z?! Brad Pitt? EXPLAIN!

GASP! I didn't even know they were making it yet! Please, tell more

Off topic: captcha is 'discribe Tommy Hilfiger with any words'. Ummmm....what? How? I don't...know?

 

[Pinkamena]

Lets see... I think the most famous person I've ever met was James Randi. You know, the famous skeptic. He's really old, but a very nice guy. Got his autograph in one of my books on linear algebra.

 

[Zac Smith]

Met and high fived Simon Neil and James Johnston from Biffy Clyro at the premier of their new DVD "Revolutions - Live at Wembley" in Leicester Square

 

[Ondoran]

I like how you tell him posting about celebrity encounters should be done on a blog instead of a forum and then immediately tell about how you saw a guy from Linken Park once. *Facepalm*

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I met Devin Townsend - probably the only person I would be star struck to meet.

He was geeky and awesome.

 

[Arqus_Zed]

Sounds awesome, but sadly, I can't really bring myself to care much about stuff surrounding Lady Gaga. Kind of... 'meh'.

However, I did play Left 4 Dead co-op with Gabe Newel at GamesCom three years ago (then still the Leipzig Game Convention). Also, I saw Guillermo Del Toro wandering around, I kind of regret not going up and talk to him...

And two years ago, I got to shake hands with Tim Schafer!

 

[E.Blackadder]

Ah, um...my brother met the PM and shook hands etc, does that count?
Oh wait, I've met an All Black....
Would love to meet a former Blackadder star though. Is Laurie still nice now he's House?

 

[burhanr]

i was about a meter away from Miranda Kerr, but being the timid mfker that I am, I did not ask to take a photo with her.

Spoiler: Who is Miranda Kerr?

This woman.

 

[Iron Lightning]

I met me, and I'm the only person in the whole universe that I am 100% sure exists.

 

[alrekr]

I met Robert Rankin once. He's a nice guy signed my copy of Toyminator.

BTW: The OP sounds more like a blog post

 

[floppylobster]

These probably won't mean much to anyone but the most famous people I've ever meet, and hung out with, are -

- Ben Harper (very nice guy).
- Matchbox 20 (had to entertain them for a night on their tour in New Zealand, nice enough guys, nothing special).
- Stone Gossard (from Pearl Jam), nice enough guy but got on with the rest of the band better (he was touring with Brad in support of Ben Harper).
- Taika Waititi (Oscar nominated director, directs a lot of Flight of the Concords episodes), nice guy but very insular.
- Bernard Fanning (singer of Australian band Powderfinger) - really nice and genuine guy.
- Tim Finn, brother of Neil Finn and singer in Split Enz and Crowded House. Nice guy but a little closed off.

 

[Darth Sea Bass]

Hmmm congrats i guess or comiserations whatever.

 

[The Cheezy One]

Spoiler: Jasper Fforde.

Spoiler: Twice.

Points if you know what he wrote without the use of Wikipedia! And listing the titles in the pictures doesn't count.

Apart from that, no-one.

Spoiler: Picture

Use spoilers please, makes live easier for the rest of us, cheers!

[EightGaugeHippo]

my runner up would be "talking" to Peter Molyneux on Facebook. He told me to stop sending him friend requests in a Private Message.

..how many could you possibly have sent? o_o.

It was a little game I had.. called Spam the Molyneux.
It only took 4 Friend request.

 

[Dumbfish1]

A friend and I met Eddie izzard when we went canvasing for labour. My next door neighbour's sister runs for mp in didsbury, so I usually get roped into handing out flyers ect. which is why I was there when he turned up. My neighbour later asked her sister if he remembered us and apparently he did, as "those guys who looked like harry potter and ron wesely"
(I wear glasses and my friend is ginger)

I am so jealous I cannot breathe right now T_T

I LOVE Eddie Izzard.

He was actually really humble when we met him, and he seemed embarrassed that everyone was asking for pictures and stuff. Didn't stop us asking though

 

[ace_of_something]

got an autograph for my big gay brother.

Yeh for your "big brother"....

He's 10 years older than me, 7 feet tall, and is as he phrases it "Florida gay". He'd laugh if he saw me call him that.

 

[soulasylum85]

i met bruce springsteen in passing backstage at a conceert on his 50th birthday in philly.

also lesser known ive met roger clyne, shooter jennings, jason isbell, and steve larson.

all of them were pretty cool especially steve larson (guitar player from roger clyne and the peacemakers) i actually sat at the bar and had some drinks with him after one of their shows.

 

[Artina89]

The other guy is not famous in the classical sense, but if you study Chemistry, especially in the area of green chemistry, he is very well known. I had lectures with professor Martyn Poliakoff, (he was also one of my personal tutors) and he is the nicest guy you could hope to meet. I had a lot of wonderful times debating with him. It does wonders for your self esteem if you can debate chemistry with the guy and actually keep up with him

Once again, *shakes fist*! The closest I've got is being part of the UK's only professor of apiculture's research group.

Uh, probably the most famous person I've met is Richard Attenborough, met him rather randomly just off Charing Cross Road while he was outside a theatre. Typical banal English 'the weather's OK' exchange.

My sister regularly met Maggie Smith as she worked at the Waitrose that the latter frequented. And my old man once encountered Peter Cushing on the tube... decades ago now.

... What is it with my family and great English actors of yesteryear?! =P

Ha ha! I will dine out on the fact I had Poliakoff as a tutor for the rest of my life! I would have loved to have met Peter Cushing! Damn your father for meeting deceased english actors (grrrr....)
