Danny Trejo - nice but so much shorter than I expected.
Gary Busey - yep, he's odd

Chris Farley was on a plane I was on (from DC to NYC) - he was in his Newt Gingrich get-up............he flew coach - sat in the rear of the plane. My husband and I were sitting in the middle of the plane - when he passed us, I got all flustered and started jabbing my husband, screaming 'IT'S JIM HURLEY' (I got so flustered I completely screwed up his name)! He was very un-assuming........

I've met a few, but the two that stick out:

I called Tom Cruise short to his face. Seriously. I'm 5'4" and look down on the guy. 18 year old me: "Dude, you're short." Him: "Yeah, I know!"

The other was when I was working at a leather shop in PA. This guy came in as I was sitting at the industrial sewing machine making a purse. We chatted for a bit, I thought he looked familiar but couldn't place him. He asked me what I was doing, yadda yadda. Then he haggled with my coworker over the price of an $80 belt buckle.

He left after sitting on our front steps with his wife for a bit, then a friend of my coworker's came in. "OHMYGODOHMYGODDIDYOUKNOWWHOTHATWASOHMYGOD!!!!" We had no clue.

It was Jon Bon freakin' Jovi. And yes, he's hot in person!

I have met Barry Manilow (he autographed a book he wrote), Tone Loc (tried to shake his hand, he said "oh no baby, got to have a hug. Kinda gross, because he was all sweaty from dancing, but very cool), The band Fuel, was so starstruck by Brett Scallions it isn't even funny, and my favorite was Ron Jeremy. Stood in line for 2 hours to meet him. Very funny, very sweet guy
That is all. Want to meet Steven Tyler & Joe Perry & Christopher Walken soooo much!!!

My 19 year old son punched a celebrity last month. It happened in a pub. The celebrity had a girl by the neck and was about to punch her, so my son rescued her by punching the celebrity (he had to be quick). Turned out the girl was a bloke with a pony tail. My son was escorted from the venue by 4 security guards. Turns out, the celebrity had been obnoxious and inappropriate to other patrons, including girls, and my son got a lot of high fives outside the venue as other patrons left. All that training when my son was little "You don't hit girls, " 'kind of' paid off.

I met my grandfather and he was famous in Council Bluffs, Iowa. He was a high school principal for 30 years in that fairly small town, and he has a middle school named after him. Back in the day, we were treated like in that town, and everyone you met had a story.
During the Great Depression, he went out and offered overly-qualified, out-of-work people jobs teaching if they just got themselves to Council Bluffs. Then, he was able to keep them there by flattering them and making them feel needed. I do not know all the teachers he had; but I know he had a shop teacher who had a PhD from MIT and I know the music teacher had performed in Carnegie Hall.
At least two college presidents came out of his high school. One was a president of Harvard!

FrauHaas2013

I grew up in So Cal so yes, plenty! And when I worked for a city in Ventura County I did all the film permits for them - I was often invited to watch the filming and meet people. It was fun!

He grew up in the town right by mine. Met him in High School. He always says hi and talks when I see him if he is home visiting his family.

Edited to say.. we are from very small towns in Southern Illinois so it is not very common that someone from here becomes famous.

Reba McIntyre told me to **** off once.

I was 8.

exmsde

Yes. And there are some I know. But I'll only mention one of the coolest accidental meetings. A few of us from work were doing something over the weekend. When we stopped to pick up one of our colleagues she introduced us to her husband and father-in-law. My jaw dropped. Her father-in-law was Hans Bethe. For those who don't know who Hans Bethe was (he passed away in 2005) you can read his Nobel Prize bio at http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1967/bethe-bio.html
