Have you ever met anyone famous?

I was lucky enough several years ago to meet Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. We were at Tampa Airport waiting to pick up a friend. We were in the one bar area where you could still smoke when he and his wife came in there to eat. They were both very nice and it was a thrill to meet them. He didn't look that good, you could tell he'd been ill recently. It was a thrill to meet them both.

I had lunch with Mel Gibson. My family and I were on a ski vacation in Aspen, Colorado. It was lunchtime so we headed to one of the chalets on the mountains. When we walked in, there was one of the members of our ski club sitting there eating with Mel Gibson. (Mel was teaching his sons how to snowboard). Our friend saw us come in and asked us to sit with him. Mel at a hot dog and chicken noodle soup.

Yes I have. I have a job in witch you meet famous people now and than. Famous socceplayers, dancers and some more. Sometimes I dare to ask for a signature but most of the time I still are a little bit nervous. When you react normal they will do that aswell.

When I lived in Temple, Texas years ago there was a young man whose parents lived across the street from me. His name is Kenneth Davis. He was drafted by the Green Bay Packers, and was later traded to the Buffalo Bills. He played as the back-up to Thurman Thomas. I met him because he came over and asked us what we did with the junk parts that were left over after working on other peoples cars. He was informed that we just threw them into the back of the junk cars that would be hauled to the recycling place that would pay us $1.00 per hundred pounds. I asked him why he wanted to know. He said that it was so he could pay us for the conditioning program he had in mind, because he was going to be in the NFL soon. We filled up the wheelbarrow with junk heads and such. I would see him pushing that wheelbarrow all over that city for hours at a time.

I was at a hockey rink in my hometown here in Canada and as I was about to go on the ice a few Boston Bruins were coming off...this is back quite aways and sure enough who was there Joe Thorton I was in shock to say the least, he was very outgoing and told me to say hi to my gramps who was a big Bruins fan :) Also got to meet and play with the entire 1992 Toronto Blue Jays at the Skydome now The Rogers Center, that was the greatest and caught it on tape :)

I met a few famous celebrities when I lived out in California when I was like 9/10 years old. My family rented Michael Douglas's (then) Montecito home when he was going through a separation from his now ex-wife Deidre. My brother and I played with his son Cameron (who I now hear Cameron has been arrested and has issues.) Anyways, so met Michael Douglas, and we went to his premiere of Romancing the Stone, and met Danny Devito and Kathleen Turner. I know along the way out there my parents, we, met Angie Dickenson, and other celebs that being 9 years old, I have no idea, and at the time, had no clue who Michael Douglas even was until Romancing the Stone hit the theatre and got big.

lucky you, had job like this....:) I wish I can meet valentino rossi...:D:D:D

I really do not have any intention of meeting some celebrities and getting excited. till now, i have never thought that i should meet any celebrities. I will have fun when i watch them. I just forget it then and there itself. But i always loved to meet mother theresa and people in the village who are multi talented, but not known to this world. I will never meet any celebrity. That is for sure. Even if i get a chance, i say hi and go on with my activity. i dont rush towards them and ask some autographs or anything. i know it sounds wierd. But i like the way i am. LOL.

seems like you have met up with a few of them...well i have not met up with anyone n i dont think i will meet up also...well my friend is also a filmstar but i dint meet her after she became one...but we simply keep in contact...

Many years ago in my hippy dippy days I was rushing to work in a book store when I turned a corner and careened into a very well dressed, very distinguished looking black gentleman. We both said "excuse me" even though it was my fault and went on our way. I heard a third person behind me say "Can I have your autograph Mr. Portier" It was Sidney Portier.

I was at a skating rink in kentucky and met Muse Watson the killer fisherman off of "I know what you did last summer" I got him to sign his photo and everything, even skated with him! but that was when i was little...thats the only one i met so far :)

I've met a few. My father was a semi-successful musician while I was growing up (folk mostly) and I met many artists involved in that industry, like Gordon Lightfoot, who is an absolute sweetheart of a man, Neil Young (eccentric, but nice), and Burton Cummings (who I have zero respect for and dislike immensely as an individual). Amanda Marshall, who years ago was one of my favorite vocalists and admired completely, played here a few years ago and my fathers group was lucky enough to be opening for her. He invited me along, knowing how much I enjoyed her music, and I was incredibly disappointed. She was rude, snotty and all around obnoxious. Unfortunately, very much so one of those celebrities who feels entitled to her fame, and thinks it makes her better than the rest. It's unfortunate her personality didn't equel her public profile.

My mom lived in Sarasota FL...where Jerry sopringer also has a beach house.....my mom was getting married on Ledo beach and Jerry Springer walked right by her wedding.It was kinda cool. (I never did actaully talk to him)

I've never met anyone famous but I have seen plenty of them either at school (I go to UCLA and I see the athletes all the time) or at sporting events (I've been to plenty of pro games and seen people up close). I've never met anyone even close to famous but if I had to pick I'd say Sharon Graves who was/is (I'm not even sure) the weather person for the local news station (San Luis Obispo, CA for anyone that cares).

I met a great Telugu poet "SRI SRI" in the year 1979 and really I felt very happy.He created a new trend in Telugu Poetry.I wish to know how many of here know SRI SRI.

Hi! Well, I met Lyle Alzado (Denver Bronco, RIP Lyle) once. His shoulders didn't look like they could fit through a doorway! He was very nice. I also met John Nabor, the olympic swimmer. I got my picture taken with him. He's an awesome person, very nice. I met Philip Bailey from Earth Wind and Fire. He was at CSU. He grew up in my home state, so my brother and I were in awe that someone from Aurora CO made the big time! He was very nice. Oh, and I met Nichelle Nichols and James Doohan at a Star Trek promotion at the local mall. They were great! Even though they said one autograph per person, Nichelle signed two for me! :-) They were a lot of fun, giving us the inside dish on Star Trek. If there's anyone else, I can't think of them at the moment.

funny, i posted a similar discussion :) i have met quite a few interesting folks...mostly american bands/singers. of note beck and sean lennon (yes, the son of john). i guess one of the biggest 'stars' i met may not be known to everyone, but guitarists would know...yngwie malmsteen from sweden. he was actually such a stuckup moron that i prefered hanging out with his bandmates. ;) and damon albarn (blur/gorillaz) was another rude one. i have met some nice folks though...just that the not-so-nice ones are more fun to talk about lol

Met Bonnie Raitt. She's sweet. Country singer for those who don't know. Also met Crystal Bernard (TV Show "Wings") She was the petite blonde. Corey Feldman. (movies) Brian McKnight. (Music) Ran across a few more that I recognize from TV but have no clue what their names are.

yes, once i had met a famous tv personality. she is a new reader and is too good in her job. we met at a conference held at our college. the best part of our meeting was when she hande me over a prize for the best debate....

I've met a few. I got to interview Paul McCartney during a press conference in 1990. Funny, witty, personable. In 1964, when I was about 5, singer Kate Smith (whom almost no one probably will remember) was eating at a table next to ours and came over and remarked to my mother what a polite child I was. 0:) Tom Fontana (creator/writer of "Oz," "Homocide:LotS" and writer of "St. Elsewhere") was fantastic. Got to sit in an interview a friend was doing with him on the set of "Oz." All the "Oz" actors were friendly. But Chris Meloni did stare at me. :) Tom Wopat ("Dukes of Hazzard") was friendly. Although, my mother has a not-too-nice story about him, which I won't put here. Passed Mel Gibson on 5th Ave. in NYC in 1995. He definitely seemed like he didn't want to be recognized (so I held eye contact with him for a longer time than usual to make him nervous). :P Interviewed Jonathan Frid ("Barnabas Collins" the vampire on the original "Dark Shadows"). He was very nice and forthright. I don't think he tolerates fools easily. I'm grateful he tolerated me as well as he did. hehe :) Interviewed singer Aimee Mann by phone. Don't know if that counts. She was nice. Seemed a bit shy, perhaps. Talking to a stranger on the phone isn't the easiest thing to do. :) Interviewed Rena Sofer and Wally Kurth, Victoria Wyndham; all were nice. Wyndham seemed serious. I don't know if you count phone calls from the famous count, but if they do: Singer Johnny Cash called me at my home. He and June Carter were in my mother's antiques shop when I was 10 years old, and mom told him I was a fan. He asked if he could say "Hi" to me and my mother, naturally, said "Sure!" Father answered the phone and told me Johnny Cash was on the phone for me. I thought he was kidding and said, "Yeah, and I'm the Queen of England!" But, as it turns out, I guess I *am* the Queen of England, because it was Cash. He was very friendly and talked about 5 minutes. Told me to be a good girl, so I always have been. :) Actor Mitch Pileggi, who played "Skinner" on The X-Files, left a message for me on my cell phone. He was at the series wrap party at the House of Blues in L.A., and a friend was there and asked him to call me, and he did. Very nice guy! The same friend had actor Chris Owens, who played "Jeffrey Spender" call me. He was extremely nice, as well, and talked to me for about 10-15 minutes.
