Have you ever met a famous person? What were they like

Okay...

So, I casually dated a college football player while I was in college, named Andy. (I was actually PISSED at my friend for giving him my number, I thought he was a **** at the bar when we met....thought the same during and after the dating)....turns out he ended up playing pro for a while....now longer does and was arrested earlier this year.

I've met Dan Marino (my FAV football player) while working at the Norfolk Int'l Airport. (Pic with him too). Got to take him and his son/son's best friend to a hotel, so we talked for a bit. Their plane had an issue and had to make an unscheduled stop. Best night at work EVER!

Met Richard Petty at the same job. That day I was doing car rentals, he was here for a meeting. I asked to see his DL, because it's standard procedure. His pilot was being ****ish about it, and Mr. Petty told him to go away, because I was doing my job. (Btw, he was wearing the glasses, but not the hat. NC wouldn't let him keep the hat on! Yes, I asked. LOL)

Also met Tiger Woods...he was a jerk. Um...John Travolta, who flies himself everywhere (and is rather nice to the ground crew. I fueled up his plane).

Plexico Burress went to high school and was very good friends with a LTR ex-bf. He (Plex) used to lay on the floor and play cars/trains with my son. Cutest **** ever.

Oh...met George W before he was president. Not the brightest crayon in the box. Not at all.

Worst of all was meeting Strom Thurmond. Horrible person. He literally asked for a male to give him the specs on the plane he was viewing because I was a female and wouldn't know anything about it. (I was a jet engine mechanic in the AF, and I can tell you what kind of plane is flying over by the sound of it's engines...yea, I kinda know a little bit about them).

I met Adam Richman (Man vs Food) at the Renaissance Fair in Texas a few months ago. He was very quiet, and seemed irritated at all the attention he was getting.

Haha. Nice. I was at my cousin's wedding in Hawaii when the Man v Food show stopped by and asked if they could eat some food and film. We kept trying to get Adam to armwrestle us by telling him it was part of a local food custom. He didn't buy it. But he was still pretty nice. (though pretty focused on getting good footage)

I met John Cusack!

The movie Pushing Tin was filmed parts on my street (his house in the movie) and I live in the house across from the one they filmed in.

He came right up to my driveway and met my whole family! He was pretty nice, but his assistant or whoever she was kept shooing us off (on our own property...). So rude, but at least John Cusack was nice about it!

I also met the director, Mike Newell. He was actually the nicest one we met when they were filming. I was only 7 years old! (Don't mind the awkward 90s clothes!)








Once in a lifetime experience, thats for sure!

I am so insanely jealous! I have the hugest crush on him, I was only 2 when "Say Anything" came out but I've loved him since I did see it, I still swoon over the boom box scene, he was/is so adorable!

I went to a very small boarding school with Paris Hilton. She obviously wasn't famous (infamous) at that point (we were 16/17 years old) but she was still just as awful as you would imagine. Luckily she didn't like the school and her parents pulled her out.

yeah, her dad definitely should have pulled out.

I met Jay K from Jamiroquai @ Manumission in Ibiza, this was during my raver days mid 90's...:smokin: He was so gorgeous in real life with very sexy eyes :blushing: but what i remember most was that he was really short and i'm 5,3! he was obvs getting loads of attention but was really gracious with everyone - his massive bouncer wasnt though...

I met Martin Sheen when I was at a hotel for an interview. He was so nice! Everyone keep calling him Mr. President.

Edit: I forgot to mention that met Al Sharpton at a church once. I never realized how short he really is.

I didn't get to talk with him, but I went to a Straight No Chaser concert last winter, where I saw Nick Lachey.

I've met the really handsome wairwolf Alciede from trueblood. (I can't remember how to spell his name) He is soooo tall. I wanted to pick me up which I'm sure would be effortless for him. There is a pic of us together on my profile if anyone is interested. Ill be meeting the actress that plays Pam at the end of the month. So excited! !!!

I tried to speak with Glenn Danzig at a Tower Records event once back in the early 1990's. He founded a punk band called the Misfits but was know to most people fpr a minor hit he had in the 90's with his band Danzig called Mother. He is probably not really considered a celebrity but I've invested this much into the post so far, so I am going for it.

We had no idea he was going to be there when we went to buy Rusted Root's new cd. We were pretty normal short haired guys surrounding by many pasty black-clad goth types.

So, Glenn jumps off the tour bus and immediately disappears behind the crowd. On TV he appears big and brawny, but in person he was tiny. Cute, even. Like a toddler in a vampire costume. Google says he is 5'4" but I seriously doubt it. He had some gigantic platform shoes. 5'1" at best.\

I know who he is.. mawahahahaa The "toddler in a vampire costume" remark seriously got me laughing.

\I met King Diamond, and he scared me. I was in a room with him alone for about 15 minutes and I thought he took my soul. \

I ~LOVE~ these stories. You guys are cracking me up.

I just remembered also that I met Victor Garber at Elixer on Melrose on one of my trips to LA. MFP wouldn't let me go back and add it to my original post.
I just said Hi to him. I think Elixer is gone now. Which makes me sad. I loved that place.

OH! Remembered another one. Pantera. Met them numerous times. they're Dallas based.
I was at a club called the Basement when they shot their video for Cowboys from Hell I think.. my best friend's brother jumped onstage for about half a second in that video.

I met Telly Savalas at Universal Studios when I was a kid. He was really sweet and offered me a lollypop. I also met Lucille Ball on that trip, she was not so nice in person. Met Melissa Etheridge after her Christmas concert right before her first was born, she was absolutely amazing and friendly! Met K.D. Lang in April of the next year, she was very rude to everyone. Lived down the street from Alice Cooper growing up, he was always so cool and his mom is amazing! Met Kenny Rogers, really nice man but drives like a crazy person. Mr. **** Van *kitten* was one of the nicest people I have ever met. Oh, and when I was in 8th grade I got to talk to Elvis Presley on the phone. He was sweet and patient with my giggly self. My best friends mom knew him, she even had a Cadillac he bought her, it had a solid gold plate on the dashboard that said 'To Neva with love, Elvis'. So amazing to talk to him on the phone, that was the year he passed.

You met some pretty amazing ones!

I think the nicest celebrity I have ever met is Kate Moss at a party once. She is a very sweet, warm and down to earth person.

Haven't met any myself, I would love to but i'm afraid that I will find out my favorite celebs are *kitten* and that would suck!
These stories are amazing though. Except the Gerard Butler one, I 'd him until I read that :sad:

Got to serve a soda to Ronald Reagan about 1978 or so. Very nice and friendly.
Robert Redford - A bit more quiet than I expected. Very nice. Shorter than I expected.
Mickey Rooney - Pleasant enough.
