Shared a frappicino with Lionel Richie in LAX.
Met Tim Robbins in a Toys R Us. It was pretty random and odd. Cool guy.

British Rugby Superstar Johnny Wilkinson. He was the biggest sports star in the country when we won the world cup. We where in an Indian restaurant and he was sitting at the table next to us.

My friend had dinner with THE QUEEN, David & Victoria Beckham, and a whole bunch of other important an famous people when her mother received an OBE. She also met Simon Cowell and the rest of the X factor people when sang at the X-Factor last year (she passed the Auditions, but not the 2nd round). Actually she's met loads of famous people. Probably because she's pretty.

Talked to Dave Chappelle in an airport once. Which is weird, because he lives a couple miles from me and I never meet him around town.

I met Sir David Attenborough, who is the nicest guy in the world and has the softest hand I've ever shook! His favorite Ice-Cream is Vanilla, for the record....

I've met Mya, since we're both alums of the same tap dance group.

My parents worked backstage when Christopher Lloyd did a play in my area, but that was before I was born.

Here's one you'll enjoy: When I was 7, I was a part of the Kennedy Center Honors performance for Shirley Temple, and the man who choreographed the part for us little kids went on to choreograph for High School Musical.

I met Mickey Carroll who was (he passed away last year) one of the few surviving munchkins from the Wizard of Oz. My brother and I chatted with him for a bit after a signing. Really great guy. At one point I said to him "can I ask you a question?" His response was "no, a munchkin did not hang himself on set and yes you can ask a question." Made me laugh. In case you're wondering, I actually wanted to ask a different question.

And I doubt that many people will know who this is (and if you don't know then I highly suggest you pick up his book), but Pat Rothfuss goes to the same comic shop I do so I've talked with him on a few occasions.

Edit to add: I've also met a lot of pro golfers (both male and female), but not Tiger Woods so people typically don't care.

I've met Peterson Tuscano, a playwright who focuses on LGBT issues, and Michael Uslan, the producer of Tim Burton's Batman movie. Those are the only two I can think of right now.

Well, after rocking it at the respective concerts I had a fun night drinking with both the Bloodhound Gang and Korpiklaani, and during my studies I met Henry Kissinger at a convention in Hamburg.

I've never met international celbrities, but a few local.

Nils Arne Eggen is a legend. Most winning manager of Rosenborg football club, taking the team to 13 league championships in a row. I've chatted with him a couple of times and he was my dad's gym teacher.

I've also received autographs from a couple of Rosenborg's star players.

I've bumped into Norwegian famous musician, Åge Aleksandersen at a supermarked. He's pretty big up here.

And I've shaken Jørn Lande's hand (he's international, I guess), lead vocals in Masterplan, Jorn and guest star in Avantasia. That was awesome.

Can't remember anyone else.

I've met Johnny Depp, he was filming Public Enemies in a town by where I live.

I've been hugged by Vig Mignogna and Travis Willingham.

I'm one degree of separation from Al Capone and the King of Thailand and I'm 2 degrees of separation from Hitler.

So...any questions...

I have shaken hands with Former US President Bill Clinton while he ignored me and chatted away with post office officials.

Derek Anderson the starting quarterback of the Cleveland Browns came to my school for some lame promotion of a study program that mixed math and football. Only my calculus class and the football team got to meet him. He was rediculously tall.

I met the Hairy Bikers at the Herefordshire Food Festival a couple'a years back. They're a lot bigger than I expected them to be XD But they were really down to earth, and they're lovely blokes.
