Celebrities you have met

[Chimaera]

I thought it might be interesting to see what famous people everyone has met.

You probably won't have heard of most of mine unless you're British but I'll post them anyway. Dr. Bunhead (from Braniac), Anthony Horowitz (author) and John Lughton (youth activist and winner of Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack).

I almost saw Johnny Depp once. I was in Paris and we drove past the premiere of Public Enemies. If I'd been there like an hour later, I probably would have seen him.

So who have you met?

EDIT: Band members count.

 

[panzerfaust666]

Hmmm, David Bowie , B.B King, Jean Chretien ( lol ) ,Behemoth and Necrophagist ( if they count ). Then a bunch of my dad's friends like Rammstein, but I guess they aren't really celeb's.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

I don't think I've met any famous people face to face, but I was within 30-40 feet of George W. Bush once while he was President, in like 2002-3 when my grandma took me to a play at the British embassy in D.C. He and Laura sat a few rows behind my grandma and me. One of his daughters (Jenna I think) was in the play, and as I recall her acting was pretty awful.

I've met Ilja and Mikko (vocalist and guitarist from Kiuas).

[DarkBliss]

@Srontgorrth:Impressive.

 

[Windie]

I met Ozzy at his book signing in La Jolla, which would have been cooler 30 years ago but whatever. He's so tiny and frail in real life.

Hehe yeah, though a lot of it was luck.

How the fuck?

Lolwut?

Oh yeah and sadly I don't have pictures with most of the aforementioned people, but I do have one with Jason Mewes, and one with Kelly Schaefar:

 

[st3333phani3333]

I have never met a famous person, ever. Not even at the concerts I go to. I usually just go and when they are done, I go home. I never felt like I had the luck to ever catch anyone famous and meet them. But I would for sure like to meet some.

And Scrontgorrth, that is crazy, you met quite a few people. That is awesome. Lucky.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Don't play Rahowa next time and maybe they'll leave you alone.

 

[st3333phani3333]

That gets me everytime. I love it. Everytime it is said, I vividly remember that day. Not like it is that really bad, but it's just funny.
