Famous People You Have Met!

[xombiekitty]

This is a list in progress because ZenBubble & I realised we were meeting so many people we were finding it hard to recall everyone without prompting!

The best bits from meeting so many people is that I know for myself what each one is like (not through stupid stories in mags) & I can actually call a few of these people friends now

This list is being added to all the time as we recall more people, or meet new ones!

[Cybertron Ax]

I have only met one person and that was Sean Connery

[xombiekitty]

Wow! Sean Connery!!! That rocks!
Where did you meet him & what was he like?

[Cybertron Ax]

I meet him in Orlando,while he was on vacation. He was behind me I bumped into he,talked for a few and told him to have a nice day and that was it. He was on vacation so I didnt bother and he is a nice guy.

[xombiekitty]

That's so cool!
I think it's awesome that you let him just keep on enjoying his holiday
Poor celebs get hounded enough in life so it's cool that you could get your time with him in a relaxed way and without him being put out.

[SuperWannabe]

I met myself late at night in the mirror..... it was most.... disturbing!!!

I wish I would stop meeting myself like that!

[xombiekitty]

I met myself

Wow, ego much?

You might want to re-read the thread title... it includes the word 'Famous'

I did. I'm quiet well known on the South Australian Amatuer theatre circuit.

I'm quiet well known on the South Australian Amatuer theatre circuit.

Does this level of fame come with an IMDB or Wikipedia entry created by a stranger that willingly claims to be a fan of yours?
Exactly how often are you stopped in the street (not in your home town) by strangers wanting to know if you are who they think you are (and they're are correct)... hmmm

I kind of had a different definition of fame in mind when I started this thread

[agentsonar]

Psh, you are all SO LAME.
I have met the original four WIGGLES and, years before that, the man that pioneered the ABC musical numbers, PETER COOMBE.

[ambivalence]

Last year I saw Peter Combe twice, and I heard he will be down at Petty's Orchard on Sun the 28th this month. I got a Newspaper hat signed too!

[agentsonar]

Sweeeeet. I wish his stuff was still on sale.

Oh, I never met Jamie Kennedy OR Stu Stone, but my mate did the Music Video for their track Circle Circle Dot Dot and he gave me
the signed copy of the album they gave him.

[Baralier]

Hmmm. I should do one.

I suppose it all depends on your definition of famous.

[xombiekitty]

Psh, you are all SO LAME.
I have met the original four WIGGLES

I bow down to yor Wiggley awesomeness!
Did you meet Dorothy, Wags, or Captain Feathersword?
Have you also met Sam to complete your Wiggles experience?
Should I stop admitting I know the names of Wiggles characters?

That's not too bad. I've been caught still watching a Wiggles DVD after the children had gone to bed.

I've mostly met people at cons.
The most memorable was Mira Furlan (Babylon 5, Lost) Such a beautiful lady, with a lovely genuine smile.
Also met Michael O Hare, and Joshua Cox at the same con.

While not actually meeting him, I think I may have upset John Rhys Davies while on the set filming an episode of Sliders. I took a photo of him and he didn';t look too happy about it.

[ambivalence]

Not sure really, I never really pay attention to these things as I generally am more interested in the characters than the actual actors playing them...

That said I noticed on the top of the original list Adam Richard (Fox FM); he writes a regular article for the fan magazine I produce, edited by Michael Young (well he hosted some Abba specials on Joy 94.9 so I guess that counts as a little fame) for the Doctor Who Club of Victoria. [/Shameless plug]

[SuperWannabe]

I've met Paul McGann!!

I'm reporting this from the future (saturday the 20th via Tardis)

Aww, I met him this morning and he didn't offer me a ride in the TARDIS *pout*
You lucky critter

[pfalcon]

Rather than list people, I'd prefer to simply say:

I've had a personal tour of Weta Workshops, handled one of their academy awards in the cabinet in their board room (those things are QUITE heavy!), and seen all the nifty stuff they have hidden away, said G'day to Richard and had coffee and other meals with various member of staff, including some of their chief designes. Now, that was cool...

And... I have photographic evidence (and some cool personalised auto's on my LOTR gear from them).

I also have one of their staff-only t-shirts (using the old logo from when they were filming LOTR).
