Starstruck! What famous people have you met?
- Thread starter Jaeke
- Start date
i did encounter a bunch of famous people in my life, but most of them are only famous locally. so even if i tell you for exemple that i took a plane with pierre curzy, and meet the cowboy fringants before they were famous, not much chance that anybody would know what i'm talking about.
i guess the most internation encounter i had, was with former F1 pilot Jacques Villeneuve. he was invited in our store by intel for the promotion around the Montreal grand prix (at this time he was still active). i helped him to sit in the racing simulator that intel had installed in my departement, and we had a chance to talk to him and get things signed by him at the end in the backstore.

I've met Caleb Shomo and Andre Whiting (vocalist and guitarist of Attack Attack!) they were super nice guys, they actually started talking to me first.
I met the girl who played Blaire on The Facts of Life at a Maire Callanders, she was nice.
That's about it

Gee, and I thought it was cool that I met Jarome Iginla. Nice guy too btw. A lot bigger in person than he looks on tv.Grottnikk said:I met Wayne Gretzky when I was a kid. Got the pic to prove it, too
Of what, exactly? Or of whom, exactly? The only thing famous people have that I don't have is money, and money is something I'm perfectly capable of acquiring myself.OlasDAlmighty said:
I did a small survey about this star struck business because it really is something I just don't understand, and it's bugging me. I mean do famous people hand out orgasms or something, because if so then I might get into it as well. Anyway, nobody really seemed to understand it, other than it being 'cool'. So I figured it's probably just something people of lower intellect like to do and that I will never understand, much like religion or watching Big Brother.
Guess I'm just too far above the average joe. Oh well, it's not a bad place to be.
One of my friends is goiung to to Huddersfield University where Patrick Stewart is the Chancellor. Even got to meet him on an open day.kickyourass said:
Anyway, I once met Sienna Miller when she and Keira Knightley were filming a scene in my small Welsh town. Even got my picture taken with her.
Oh, and my mum's friend once met Orlando Bloom in a supermarket without realising it. They talked about which lettuce to buy.
Ahem,
Rolf Harris, Matt Lucas, Elton John, Ricky Gervais and the Queen.
I know I've met a few more, like the fat lady from Matilda and some old BBC presenter, but I forget their names.

I met Elijah Wood a couple of years ago. If we're talking six degrees of separation, however, my downstairs neighbour met Carrie Fisher. And my old manager literally bumped in to Chris Pine.
ICP popped in the gas station my mom's ex worked at after a local show so I met them there.
Zakk Wylde after a Black Label Society show.
Lou Gramm (Foreigner lead singer) at a pizza place. He's actually from where I live, so I suppose it's not exactly a huge deal around these parts.

I spent about half an hour with Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock when they visited my zoo. I work with elephants and the owner of the zoo is one of the Dukes of England (his wife went to college with Sandra). That was pretty cool, they were both very nice people, very friendly and humble.
I'd love to meet Brad Jones from http://www.thecinemasnob.com/ and we actually live in the same state, but I never really met anyone famous.
I've met Richard Dawkins. I've also met Nick Clegg, before he was Deputy Prime Minister, and I'm not sure if he counts as famous.
A number of years ago my nan lived next to Julie Walters, the woman who played Molly Weasley in the Harry Potter series. She's moved into much bigger homes by now but back then I talked to her quite often (was around 10yo or so). Even had tea a few times. She's a lovely woman, very polite and I'm happy to see she's made such success.
We no longer meet as she's too far away now but we're still on each others Christmas card list.
I've also had Kevin Smith and Alice Cooper sign stuff for me but I don't count that as "meeting them"

No one that big really but:
Daniel Sloss after a show of his, I shook hands and shared about 3 words with John Mayer pretty much during a show of his and Ewan McGregor and the other one from Long Way Round since the producer's daughter goes to my school so they dropped by before they went (I wwas about 8 at the time)
