Have you ever seen/met a famous person?

Question

If so, who and where? I´m not talking about going to a concert.
I saw Pierce Brosnan (the former James Bond 007) when I was vacationing in Hawaii.

I saw Kevin Costner four times. Twice at my high school football games (he is an alumni of my old highschool and he always goes to our high school football games to support us) and another time driving in my town (he was raised in my town and his mom lives fairly close to my house). His license plate says "Costner" and once doing grocery shopping at the local Ralphs.

Then I saw Ashley Judd up close at the Indy 400 (some car race, I think that´s what it´s called). Her husband is a pro race car driver and I saw both of them in the pit. I got the priveledge of hanging out there because my dad´s friend races cars.

Answer 1

I met Dave Thomas the founder of Wendy's when his book was getting ready for release. I worked for the distribution company that handled the release. He was a good person who founded an excellent program for adoption.

Answer 2

I've met a LOT of well known politicians because my stepfather and my mom are both in politics. Unfortunately they've mostly been Republicans... nobody I give a crap about getting to talk to so far. But as far as really "famous" people like movie/rock stars, etc., I met Soundgarden and Metallica at Lollapalooza '96 because we had VIP passes; Dudley Moore was on a plane to Boston with us one time, Eddie Albert was in a grocery store in West Palm Beach, Hulk Hogan and Evel Kneivel were both at this restaurant in Clearwater and we sat right next to them and another time at the same place we saw that guy named Engelbert Humperdink, and I met Jimmy Buffett at a music store in West Palm, too. Oh yeah and I've seen Donald Trump like twice around here, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were also at that one restaurant, Sandy Duncan was at Disney World, and I know I'm forgetting other ones too!

Answer 3

I met The Rock like 3 weeks ago such a nice guy saw him twice in one day such a good day it was. I have also met Usher, Dru Hill, Lou Ferrigno who is a friend of my dad. I've met Aretha Franklin a few times we shop at the same Grocery store, I also met Common, Teyshun Prince Michael Clark Duncan, Djiomn Hansu(sp) and Obie Trice who gave me like a $50 tip when I was working at a movie theater.

Answer 4

Douglas Bader. I was in the Air Cadets and he came to a parade . A more conceited arrogant bastard I have never met. He told that I was stupid to join the cadets as I was, and still am, disabled (Polio as a baby) He didn`t like it much when I stood up for myself, something that my parents had always said that I should do, and said that at least I didn`t get my problem by " showing off"(For those that don't know, he lost his legs by crashing a plane that he was flying too low)

Answer 5

I met the Chuckle Brothers when I was 8 in Scarborough! Now that's IS a claim to fame!

Answer 6

Does your question include soap stars? If so then i have! I was walking round a department store when the wife of Bill Roach who plays Ken Barlow in a well known UK soap called Coronation Street, came over to me and started admiring the pushchair i had with my youngest son in. She called Bill over and they chatted to me and my baby. A week later i read in a newspaper that his wife was expecting a baby.

Of course that's nothing compared to your famous sitings, surely no one can beat meating Kevin Costner 4 times....You will be on first name terms soon!!
