Either one is okay.
I met someone famous.
I met someone who is famous.
The second one is an adjective (relative) clause, and some people call the first one a reduced adjective (relative) clause. It's really just an adjective, but since the adjective comes after the word it modifies, some people prefer a different term.

They are interchangeable.
"someone who is famous" is passive voice though and usually not recommend to use in formal writing.
