Question

I got stuck in a lift with Johnny Depp about 3 years ago.
He was here in Ireland filming and was staying in the same hotel as me.
Total gentleman and so funny.

Answer 1

wouah, that 's incredible. hope my darling vanessa never found out:)
me , it was Oasis' LIAM GALLAGHER, in 94, in France . we managed to sneak in for the afternonn rehearsal and talked to Liam . he was hard to understand , BUT he found out i was the only one with a gig ticket and my 3 other friends didn't have 1. so he kindly offered a guestlist for each.
as we got the front row, he dedicated to us the wonderful Slide Away and to this day, i have kept the beer can he handed to me whilst on stage.

Answer 2

I used to live down the road from Vinnie Jones... When I was about 15/16 I had a job and had to catch the bus from outside his house. It was valentine's day one year and he sang to me! We're going back nearly 20 years here so it was when he was a pretty small time football player. Maybe I should have made the most of it - I could now be a WAG!

Answer 3

I worked at a hotel and Bob Seger's booking agent called wanting to make a hotel reservation for him because he was going to be passing through town.

The night she wanted was opening day of the State Fair, so we had no rooms available because all the little kids that had 4-H displays were staying there.

I told her as politely as I could that we did not have room available and explained that our rooms had been rented already to 4-H kids. She goes "But it's Bob Seger" and I said "sorry, ma'am, we just don't have room."

She hangs up on me and I go to start running the Night Audit and the phone rings again. I answer "Thank you for calling the Holiday.." and before I could finish my greeting, I hear "Let me talk to the little ***** that just told my agent there aren't any rooms."

I panicked for just a second, but held my own and said "I'm sorry, but we just don't have rooms available and I'm not going to kick a bunch of kids out so you can stop and rest for the night. Drive the extra hour and get a room in some other town. I'm sure they'll have them available."

I hung up on Bob Seger. I love telling that story.

Answer 4

Worked in a record warehouse 20 years ago....met the B-52s...the dude was cool, but the women were snooty.
Recently went to a Tommy Chong show and saw him outside the back of the building greeting fans....he REALLY talks like that.
Met Denny Laine of Wings at a classic rock art show.
Met a BUNCH of the Phillies at a charity function when I was 12 (1977)...Larry Bowa, Bob Boone, Tug McGraw (who I was introduced to--he was looking lost....he asked me if I could count past 46 and subtract (I said "sure!"), and then said "Great! So tell me where the heck table #45 is!.) Also, Greg Luzinski, Steve Carlton, Tim McCarver, Dick Ruthven, Bud Harrelson, Danny Ozark, announcer Harry Kalas (who does the NFL films now).
My mom & dad actually have the coolest story of all...being in the right lounge in beverly hills at the right time when an adjacent room had a ball that just klet out with ANYONE you could think of who was anyone at the time....literally bumping intio and having conversations with people like, Cary Grant, Johnny Carson, Warren Beatty (who left with 2 young women on either arm, neither of whom were his GF at the time, Julie Christie), Cher, Jack lemmon, John Wayne, Jack Nicholson, Lucille Ball...and a list of others i don't remember. They wound up hitting it off with Susan Flannery and her TV husband from "Days of our Lives" and partied together right back to their hotel room.
Sorry for the lengthy reply...but i thought I'd be thorough! : )

ps to Kayak Girl---that was David Naughton. he also was in the movie "An American Werewolf in London" and also did a TV show called "Makin, It" (and sang its theme)

Answer 5

I was fooling around at a restaurant on a terrasse in Sydney 2002, n my girlfriend splashed me in the face with her drink. This black guy walked past and thought it was very funny. I waved at him cause I really thought I knew him. Apparently I didn't. I kept thinkin, where do I know that guy from.....It was Laurence Fishburne, down here for Matrix reloaded....

Answer 6

I was in a Scottish nightclub once and everyone was queueing up to use the urinals. The act performing that night was "Elvis Costello and the attractions". In those days ( the 70's) it was really quite shocking that anyone other than THE KING would have the gall to call themselves "Elvis".

Anway Elvis Costello was having to queue up with all the ordinary punters and someone exclaimed in a loud voice, "See that... even ELVIS pishes!"

Answer 7

Roy Chubby Brown came into the shop where i worked 8 yrs ago. He messed with the video display and put all his videos in the top 5 chart. Very funny!
