If you saw a movie star eating would you stop and ask for an autograph?

I wouldn't approach him/her either. It's really difficult to be in the limelight often to the point of being conscious all the time. I think they love the pleasures of people just letting them be (unless they are publicizing or doing that to endorse themselves) but when they're with friends, colleagues, and most importantly family I think we should all learn to respect to give them space. After all, they are still humans and they need time for themselves like all of us. It's really appalling how some media people won't let loose these actors and actresses, waiting for a scoop of whatever in order to make money. I mean, yes they are movie stars, but they have a life to live as well, we should all respect that.

I think it would be fine. They should be used to that and be prepared for those kind of things. If you asked politely I'm sure they would kindly sign something. The worst thing that could happen is if they say no.

It all depends on who it is. I may wait around for them to get done eating and then go and ask them for their autograph. they would have to be really special to me before I would wait or ask though.

I am not star crazy so I dontthink I would .In additon I am easily embarrassed and also I believe that many times these stars just want some peace and quiet and to live thier lives outside of the spotligh.Maybe if I got to talking to them like normal persons then maybe I would ask them for an autograph

it depends.if that movie star is someone I really admire,I would ask for his/her autograph and picture.I would ask for autograph or picture once s/he is done eating or talking to someone on the phone.it is rude to interrupt,especially if they are eating with their children or talking to an agent.I will wait for an opportunity that s/he is not occupied,then I'll nicely ask for an autograph and picture.

i would n0t ask for an autograph, im a fan of some stars but m0re of a music fan. And even if i am i am n0t fond of autograph but more of a photo person.

I would wait until they were done eating Then when they were leaving I ask the movie star if I could have his or her autograph. If they did not want to then I would just leave him or her alone. They do have the right to say no and their privacy should be respected if that is what they want.

I would ask for an autograph, for sure. :) All movie stars know that people are going to be in awe of them in public and it is what people do. If I go up to the table and use manners and say excuse me, may I get your autograph? I do not believe any movie star minds that. Being a movie star, they all know that this happens, especially if they go to a small country town, far away from the movie star scenes. Some may not like it, but I am sure most of them love the attention. After all, they earned the attention by being great star. :) Great discussion. Have a wonderful day, everyone! :)

If i was the movie star and eating and some one comes to me with a pad in their hands i ll be annoyed and depending on the mood i m in,either ignore them completely or oblige with a smile or really give them a piece of my mind esp if in a grouchy mood.Why do u think we read many times about celebs scuffling with paparazzi,coz underneath all that glam,they are human afterall,like the rest of us,with moods ,tempers and all.some say they are like public property coz it is afterall the fans who made them famous,i say,give an take ,compromise..THEIR FAME GIVES ME A RIGHT TO APPROACH THEM BUT NOT TO HARASS THEM! Judgement call on our part.

I am a fan also but I'm contented watching them on screens. If I see them in a public place, I just treat them as ordinary people. But I feel great to see them in person. I don't ask for autographs.

No way. I'm a fan of certain celebrities but I'm contented with taking a good look and just going about my business if ever I see one eating in the same place I am. Putting myself in their shoes, I'd definitely be irked when someone comes up to me and messes up my eating, specially that I enjoy and greatly prefer eating in peace and enjoying my meal. Imagine it's also my only quiet time and my chance at privacy after spending my entire life under the limelight. I'd be doing them a big favor by not interrupting their eating time.

That would depend on who it was. If it would have been someone like Heath Ledger (RIP), Johnny Depp or somebody along the lines of that. Then yes, I would have. Otherwise I probably would have just brushed it off.

I would probably not recognise the person in question and even if I did not be particularly bothered about an autograph, since today's movie "stars" have none of the magnetic qualities of the old school.

It would entirely depend on the movie star. If it was someone I REALLY liked I might wait until they were done eating, and then ask them.

Okay, I have encountered this situation before, and no, I would wait until after. Also, a tip from Seth Green (one of the creators of "Robot Chicken" and "Titan Maximum"), do not, I repeat, DO NOT shout out the celebrity's name if you see them. Kindly, and nicely, go up to them, say "Hello, can I please have your autograph?", and if the celebrity is a nice person, they might sign it for you, but do not go up to them when they are eating, drinking, working, or going to the restroom. That it their private time. You wait until they are done doing whatever it is they are doing, and then you talk to them or get a picture or autograph with them. I have been to enough comic conventions to know how you treat a celebrity when you are around one. Celebrities are just like normal people. If they are nice and humble enough, they will not think that they are anything special, so just treat them like normal people.

It depends on where and who. If the superstar is someone whom I really really admire, I will stop by and ask his/her autograph and even take a picture together. But when the superstar is someone whom I don't really admire, I will just pass him/her through, and I've done that a lot of times. =) Sometimes it is very shameful to ask for superstars' autograph when we are eating in some fancy and high class restaurants. I just don't know why, but just having that thought. =)

No, I would only simply look at him and if he notice me I am going to wave my hands and just smile back. I have met a lot of stars before and even bump them in a shopping mall and yet I am not acting like crazy which other fans exhibited. If i have bring my camera I would ask him to poise for a while and that the cases if the movie stars is not eating. Thus, if the movie stars is eating i would not even dare to interrupt his eating and just simply look on him. They are humans like us they only becomes famous and also want to enjoy their privacy as well so it is necessary to give them due respect too..

No, I wouldn't. Like you said, it's rude. The poor person probably gets stopped every time they go out. I can't imagine that type of life so I wouldn't add to it. Plus, in my opinion celebrities are just people like us who happen to have a different career that shows their face to a higher number of people. Stopping to ask a celebrity for an autograph at any time and in any place, for me, would be just as likely as me asking for the pizza delivery guy's autograph. They're just people doing their jobs, and no one special in particular, as we're all made equal. I'd make a note of who it was and walk on. No reason to pretend I'm a number one fan or anything, since it would be untrue. Help them live their lives in peace.

So far have not seen any that I could ask for an autograph. I once say Jane Seymour at the Hotel Istana in Kuala Kumpur. She was a guest of my late Deputy Prime Minister and so I dare not move any closer. She was absolutely charming,mind you.

i would not ask or feel interest for a autograph from a celebrity or start . whatever he or she, movie star or signer. i don't think they are much important to me and need a autograph. i also think they not so valuable person to. they are same what I'm. its all we are people and I'm not less then him or herself. but regarding your discussion,yes you are right . it will be rude and not gentle work if you asking or begging for a autograph, while they or he is in eating. i don't like to be a disturbing elements and bothered to a person.
