Have You Ever Met a Famous Person?

[Niko Bellic 817]

Have you met anyone in your life that is well-known publicly?

[Shadsie]

I met a Kennedy once, years ago... I was in Honors Club at my community college and we went to see a speach, that was it.

This summer, I got to meet one of my literary idols (perhaps the only living favorite writer I have), Peter S. Beagle. He is the author, of, among other fantasy works, "The Last Unicorn." He was at Otakon. I asked him some annoying questions about the publishing world and talked to him of his character, Molly Grue. I bought a print of artwork that an artist made for him and had it signed, along with my copy of "The Last Unicorn." He was a very nice man and it made me very happy to meet him.

I've seen people who are famous, but there have been a few times where I've spoken to someone who was famous (to varying degrees). I met Andy Tennant, his wife, and his daughters when they came to Hameau Farm (an all girls camp where plenty of international and offspring of famous individuals come for the summer). Andy Tennant is the director for the movie Hitch.

I also met a band manager, who also had a daughter attend the summer camp. She had managed the Black Eyed Peas and Wyclef Jean.

My great grandmother's cousin was Neil Welliver, who was a painter. His son is Titus Welliver, which is an actor. He has appeared in Lost, Monk, Law & Order, The Twilight Zone, Star Trek: Voyager, NYPD Blue, The X Files, Beverly Hills 90210, and NCIS.

I met Lou Ferrigno at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

[DisappearingMist]

I've gone to several concerts and gotten my stuff signed by the artists. I can't think of anyone else off the top of my head. I have seen lots of famous people, but never really "met" them.

[linkman8]

What's unfortunate for me is that I've never met any actors or singers or anything like that. Although two years ago I met the Packer players Mark Tauscher, Aaron Rogers, and Nick Barnett. 'Course, only a few people here would know who they are. :P
As for relatives I'm actually related to Matt Kenseth the NASCAR driver. But I don't watch NASCAR so I don't really know that much about him.

[basement24]

I have met a could of comic writers at conventions, but it's not really a chance meeting since I knew they would have been there. Also, their famous level is debatable.

For anyone who lives in Canada, I met one of the members of the Air Farce group while working retail years ago. I can't remember his name, but he always did the Preston Manning impression. He was a nice guy.

In the "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" category, my sister stood 5 feet away from Pierce Brosnan on a set of one of this movies filmed here. I was going to go with her to try and find him, but then I decided (quite stupidly) that she'd never get on the set, so I went to school instead. Being a huge Bond fans, I was sorely disappointed she was standing so close to him for a good period of time. Live and learn, I suppose...

[SilverHawk01]

I actually didn't really ' met ' famous ppl ( so far :xd:).
But I Have seen the royal famely of Belgium last year :hmm:. Besides from that erm...Does a band also count ? Cause I've seen a lot of them at festivals and concerts, talking 'bout NightWish, Disturbed, Dragon Force, Rammstein, Papa Roach, red hot chili peppers etc,...

[Zeruda]

I met Jo Dee Messina when I was in the Army. My platoon got to build her stage, and we even got to meet with her. She's actually pretty buff, heh. Anyway, she said that I was really strong for being so little, and she laughed at how much food I could eat. She said I was "adorable". *shrug* She also gave me her guitar pick.

I also got to meet Charlie Daniels, as my platoon also built his stage. He's really.... fat, lol. But he's a very nice, happy, patriotic person. He offered me a beer, but I turned it down as I don't drink, and he thought it was good that I stuck to my morals. So he gave me an ice cream bar of sorts instead, lol.

When I was in high school in CA, the marching/performance band played at at even where the Governator opened up an area of solar panels and stuff. He'd really helped out the smaller, poor towns, and he was kicking butt for the state. It was cool to be able to perform there. I told him he was very, very large, and he responded with, "You are very, very small." He was intimidating, lol, but very funny. Got to shake his hand, and he even carried on conversations with my and my friends.

[Spreeze]

Well, I live in Minnesota here in the USA... and not many famous people come up here :hmm:

However, I have met the author William Durbin when he came to our school a few years back. I was involved in the school's writing club, which only had about 20 people in it. Mr. Durbin talked to our group about what it's like being a published author, and let us ask any questions we had.

And my history teacher's mom's best friend is **** Clark's wife... if that counts :lol:

For anyone who lives in Canada, I met one of the members of the Air Farce group while working retail years ago. I can't remember his name, but he always did the Preston Manning impression. He was a nice guy.
*Is very jealous* Was that Don? I cannot remember...
I met Robert Munsch when I was a kid. I think I got his autograph. I can't rememebr much, but it was really exciting!
I also met one of the finalists on Canadian Idol a few years ago, and got my picture taken with him and got his autograph as well.
There may have been some famous baseball player, but I don't remember.

I dont' think there was anyone else.

[Bob Majinki]

I've met a few governors and senators of America. I have seen George W. Bush in person (completely unexpected). I have seen the Ambassador to the US of Japan, the oldest Japanese woman (who remembers world war 1), a huge slew of famous Japanese diplomats (they were seriously just there). I have met a famous singer in Kuwait, and fought his son physically in a supermarket (he started it and I won it). I am family friends with military heads of South Korea, have possible family connections to a popular Egyptian singer (who is banned from coming to America, go figure), and have other strange connections to such persons like a former Minister of Education of Soviet Romania. Also, you know the butler from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air? I've met him, he's a cool guy. Also I've met a huge slew of athletes in the past. I got connections to Joe Biden as well.

So yeah I know some pretty famous people. :P

Those are all awesome stories, but I think I like the one about Arnold the best!

[kpllk]

Not in person, but for my 12th birthday, I got the best gift ever. Andre Boulay wrote a message for me on the back of his YYJ busness card. It said: "Happy birthday [insert my first name]. Keep on yo-yoing." Then he singed it. It was an awesome gift (I got more than just that, but you guys don't need to know about it).

[Vincent]

I've met a few.

John Edwards (http://margotmystic.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/john-edward.jpg), that psychic guy. Two times, actually.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, met them in my local supermarket, believe it or not.

I almost met Shigeru Miyamoto, when he was here in New York. Almost. :(


She said I was "adorable". *shrug*
That's no lie. ;)

[Gildragon]

I've met a couple of Christian bands (which proabably noone here has heard of)

I don't think I've met any actors (well at least major ones that you would recognize)

[DisappearingMist]

Try me. :P Who was it? My most notable was The Benjamin Gate. Super nice people :)

[Silent Rain]

My mom met Ashley Johnson a few years ago. She played Mel Gibsons daughter in the movie "What Women Want." I wasn't with her though. :(

[Gildragon]

Hehe, Jump 5. I knew a kid on another forum who was like 15 and he loved Jump5. It was borderline obsession and a bit weird at times!

[x-Link-x]

Daddy Yankie, he's this Spanish rapper guy.
I'm, not a fan but I happen to meet him at the airport once.
I got his autograph e.e;;

[RyanNope]

I met MC Chris at one of his shows, and my brother smoked a blunt with him at a different show that tied in with a comic convention. My bro took some cool pics of MC Chris in a Jango Fett costume (helmet off) and several other people dressed as storm troopers surrounding my brother and his friend like they were capturing them. My cellphone died on the way to the show so I couldn't take any pics. But if I ever go to another one of his show I'll be sure to bring a camera. MC Chris is not extremely famous, but if you've ever watched Aqua teen Hunger force he does the voice of the recurring guest MC Pee Pants and all his various reincarnations. MC Chris is a comedian and 'Nerdcore' rapper and at his shows he does mixed concert and stand up comedy. He's a pretty cool guy.


My dad met Robin Williams on a plane. According to my Dad, Robin is actually a pretty cool guy. Apparently he frequently sits in economy/business class on planes to meet and entertain his fans and other passengers. My Dad says he thinks he might have met U2 in the Paris Airport a while back, he said he didn't know if they were. He said a few of them were carrying guitar cases with U2 on them. He said only talked to one of them for a minute but he doesn't know who U2 is so he wouldn't know if that was really U2 or not lol.

[Blood Wolf]

Eh, wish my dad had gone pro in BMX'ing when he had the chance. He was very close, but turned down the deal, buuuuuuuut is it alright if I add him? He is in some records file that he told me about that shows that he was almost pro.

If not, then I have not met anyone famous or well known yet. >_<

*EDIT* Scratch that, while looking through old pictures I found myself at about.... 8 or 9, I had met a BMX freestyle crew while they did a performance, apparently by my dad and mom they signed pictures of BMX'ers and my shirt. Now, I just need to find their names... >_<

[NarutoAngel221]

I have meet in person a senator before and he is really down to earth as well as he is approachable to

[AeroCanyon]

I haven't seen him, but a friend of mine saw Mike Vallely at the skatepark once, I wish I'd been there.

[Brandikins]

Lol. I'm not sure if this counts, but my best friend is sorta famous. He's been in several commercials, some episodes in a TV show, and he was going to be in a few scenes in Disney's G-force, but they cut him out at the last minute.

[Zenox]

I was at a Jazz game and they were playing the Lakers. I didn't meet him, but I saw Frankie Muniz in the stands. It was pretty cool, but he was bald for some reason :hmm:

[Atsuma]

No, famous people have not had the privilege of meeting me yet. :p

But I've seen many people that look like celebrities and other famous people.

[arkvoodle]

Personally, I've met the twins who play the "Weasley Twins", In the Harry Potter Movies.
I've also met this boy from England, called William, who is kinda famous for his singing.

[Master Kokiri 9]

Sadly no but i would love to meet Ben Rothlesburger. I'm a huge steelers fan and my selfish uncle who works for him won't let mme come along to Pittsburgh to meet him.

[Aurora]

[Dragon565333]

Carrie Underwood Walking/Running down the street to he Limo. And my mom Met Tom Baker and met Weird Al Yancavic.
Tom Baker is a British actor from her Favorite Show..

[Atsuma]

Just a day ago, My family and I met Neil Smith. He was some NFL football player back in the 90's, a defensive end to be exact, and he played with the KC Chiefs/Denver Broncos. Anyway, we met him and he gave us an autograph and we took pictures with him. He was very nice, it was a really cool experience.

So yeah, now I have met someone famous. ^^

[silent lion]

I've met Dale Hewings.

You've heard of Dale Hewings.

Right?

[Halo siera 117]

I once saw Jeff Dunham preform live. It was amazing.

[serotonin_wraith]

I won't count concerts, cos it wasn't 'meeting' them. I've been to signings by the Manic Street Preachers and Christopher Judge and Michael Shanks from Stargate SG-1. I need to meet some more people.
