Which Famous People Have You Met

just a simple question , which famous people ( eg like TV stars , music stars , filims ,sports people etc) have you met and what were they like

i have met Clare and Sarah, Suzanne of Hollyoaks and they seemed nice

Ricky Hatton sat next to me at a bar in Manchester.

A few of the Northampton Saints players have joined us on a night out before. A couple I see out all the time: Lawes and Diggers.

Can't think of any others I've spoken to.

I've met Kerry Dixon twice, once at a Bedford Town vs Chelsea XI in 2005 and at the title parade in 2006. Nice guy to talk football with.

Also through football I met Ralf Little from Two Pints at a Bedford Town vs Arsenal Celebs & Legends game in 2006. 50th anniversary of Bedford getting a draw at Highbury in the FA Cup.

I met Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift backstage at the CMA Festival in Nashville in 2009. Set me back a lot but very worth it.

I've seen a few well known people about, but actually MET:

The Manic Street Preachers (except Richey) - James Dean Bradfield I've met a few times around Cardiff. Just really down to earth, normal guys. Met them backstage at an invite only gig I went to. Chatted about music with JDB until my (then) boyfriend started on about football.
Ieuan Evans (Welsh rugby legend). Top bloke - said hello to him in the street after the Heineken Cup final this year in Cardiff.
Kelly Jones from The Stereophonics. Met him on the train to Aberdare on my daily commute from work. It was just after Performance & Cocktails came out. Seemed all right, pretty laid back really.
Tommy Bowe (Irish rugby international). Beautiful and lovely lovely lovely!!! Met him at Dublin airport, he was on my flight.

Ieuan Evans
Shane Williams
Matthew Rees
Tom Shanklin

along with a few other wales players when i got to go VIP to a few Wales internationals

I met the Stig when I was 13.

He was just Ben Collins back then, but I had my picture taken with him.

Doh, I forgot Jenson Button.

Used to play football on a local park in Hull with the Housemartins (paul heaton, fat boy slim and the others). Top blokes.

Oh, not really famous, but was hitting on some scary looking girl from This is England too, very drunk.

I literally bumped into Ruby Wax at a food store in Holland Park about 20 years ago. She looked kind of confused? so I boldly told her to "Cheer Up!".

Another day I was walking to work around the back streets behind Ken High St when I saw this large Granada Television van parked and a guy with a leaf blower doing the footpath. The were a couple of guys milling around. I suddenly realised it was Roger Moore and Michael Caine - lurking next to a tree. I said something to RM like "Nice day, isn't it?" He answered "Indeed, it is.." MC sort of half nodded in approval too.

They were filming a scene from "Bulleye". Saw it again only last week. It was the part where they visit the Gentlemans' Club.
Boy, can they keep a straight face!

(note: I was surprised Roger Moore wasn't taller... about 5'10"? He was a few inches smaller than me. Sort of shattered my image of him as 007.)

Thom! Why don't you have my phone number to hand out...?!

[quote="Thomond"][quote="Irish Curry"]Nice one!

No not anymore unfortunitly Bishopstown til I die though!!
Why are you trying to stalk me or something??

I think it was reasonable to assume you lived there,as both guys play for Bishopstown and as I live there myself I have seen them around a few times myself. Not trying to stalk you man,calm down like!

I sat behind John Eales on a flight from Brisbane last year. He is so tall he had to stoop when walking down the aisle.

Met the WWF guys in a night club , they had done a show and were letting off steam .

Said "G'day mate" to Bob Hawke, ex-PM in a restaurant recently.

My Nan took me to Butlins in London when I was about 14 and it was basically to spoil me for a few days.
She wanted to see a play called Mouse Trap, and when we watched it I saw Nicolas Courtney (the Brigader from doctor Who) in it, after the play my Nan took me round the side of the building to the stage door and sneaked in and I actually got to meet him, and he was very nice and signed an autograph, this is despite just being on stage for hours.
Fantastic bloke and a memory I treasure, he died recently as well which was gutting.

The mouse trap was the longest ever West End show and I believe was what led to:

Spoiler:

I think Courtney died a few months ago. That would have been a cool person to meet.

I didn't know there was a Butlitz in London!

And no ....

Spoiler:

Having looked it up, I appear to be way off, although I wasnt the only one who had been told that the butler had done it!

Someone gave the very same answer to the origins of it on yahoo!

It isnt a Butlins like Minehead, it was just a hotel.
It's now called the Grand Plaza Hotel.

Yes he did, I have also met Elizabeth Sladen and John Pertwee who have died, though talking to them briefly at conventions is not meeting them by accident.
