Has anyone met some famous people in REAL LIFE?

[Lovely Mixture]

I met Rie Tanaka, a relatively popular Japanese voice actress.

 

[Brad Shepard]

Met Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock when they came to visit my elephants. They were really nice, humble people.

I... wait, your elephants?

Yeah, I work in a zoo

The owner's wife went to university with Sandra Bullock, so she and Ryan came for a special visit.

You work at a Zoo? God i am very very jelly.

Ive meet some famous voice actors at cons, plus Al Snow, The voice actor for Seto Kaiba, Eric Stuart and I had a funny conversation at Ikasucon after i got him to sign my Blue Eyes cards.

"So, how many people ask you to..."

Eric: "All the time"

Me: "Abridged lines?"

Eric: "You have no idea how many times i get asked to bring out a wad of cash and saying these lines."

Only one. Martin O´Donell (Halo´s music composer). He is a nice person.

Queen Elizabeth II opened the new wing at my school while I was in my final year there. Getting to speak to her - however briefly - was pretty amazing.

 

[Simmo8591]

I have met a few kinda important people

Went to school with the comedian Jack Whitehall (British, does lots of panel shows) and Princess Eugenie (Prince Andrews daughter)
Kate Middleton also went to my school but she left before I was there...
Tamsin Little is a family friend (very famous classical violinist)
Recorded an album as part of a backing choir with Chris de Burgh (sang lady in red way back in the 80's)
Also my Dad is a pretty high up British Diplomat so I've met a ton of european politicians and military personel at offical functions etc... but i dont really count them, probably would have fazed me a bit more if I had known who they were

 

[garbutt]

well, about the most famous person I've met is James Irwin...

Yes.

Though the list is way too long...
Just search who played at the 013 concert venue in "Tilburg" I'm audio Tech there.

Dude! Porcupine Tree did a concert there that got filmed for DVD. Did you meet any of them?

As for my famous people list, it's rubbish. I met Prince Edward once cause my African Drumming group in middle school did a performance in front of him.
I came very close to meeting Wishbone Ash's guitarist, but I pussied out cause I had nothing for him to sign.

Yeah, I build the backline, soundchecked for them and talked with Gavin for some time about drums and with Colin about our recording equipment and mixing techniques.
Was reaaaally hard not to act like an overzealous fanboy x3

What an amazing experience. You're very lucky.I went to a drum clinic of Gavin's but didn't get to meet him.

 

[Philol]

I've never met anyone famous...I feel so left out...

 

[spookydom]

I had a beer with Robert Plant and his wife while they where on holiday.
Made Paul Merton his breakfast at Glastonbury festival.
Peter Gabriel at WOMAD festival.
PJ Harvey, Reef, The Ozric Tentacles and Eat Static when I was a session muscian.

I used to have maths and politics lessons at school with princess Eugiene. Oh and my sister used to date Kate Middleton's brother who I lived with for a couple of years

Nick?

I saw both Geoffrey Rush and Stephen Fry on the same day at the same place. It was pretty weird to be honest.
It was at the Malthouse theatre in Melbourne. Considering I'd never seen anyone terribly famous before it was a little jarring. A few people were making a bit of a fuss over it at which point I realised how fucking annoying it would be if people recognized me wherever I went.

 

[dj_8612]

I am also ashamed to say that I have met Jeremy Kyle.

 

[JediMB]

I went to Los Angeles in 2007, the only time I've been in the US, and just happened to run into Joe Flanigan at the airport. Rude as I am, I asked if I could take a picture with him, and the poor guy was really nervous about his baby, saying that he didn't want it in the photo.

Well, it was a pretty cool memory, anyway, and in the following days I met a ton of Power Rangers actors, since I was there for the original Power Morphicon convention.

 

[Coldster]

Not very many, just David Suziki while my grade 8 class was at the CBC, Alexander Ovechkin outside the hotel the Washington Capitals were staying at in Toronto, and Craig Kielburger after attending one of his presentations. All very nice people that I wouldn't mind bumping into again.

 

[mirage202]

A fair amount.

Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, Christina Ricci, Johnny Depp, Patrick Stewart and the Spice Girls likely the biggest ones.

(Worked medical cover on film sets at both Pinewood, and Shepperton studios in the UK)

 

[Starik20X6]

- Shook hands with Daniel Craig and got pictures with Olga Kurylenko at the Australian premier for Quantum of Solace.

- Met the late Marco Simoncelli at the Philip Island MotoGP.

- Had multiple encounters with Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki.

- Met Tina Arena on a fight to L.A.

That's about it thus far.

[lRookiel]
