Name some famous people you've seen in real life

41 (total not "ugh"). I was fishing the pond behind his presidential library. He was taking a lap before a talk there (which I got to attend) on "fishing and the presidency".

He talked to me like he knew me and we just discussed the fishing in his pond for a bit (in the gazillion times I fish the pond while at Texas A&M I never was there while he was fishing, but I heard he would fish sometimes when he was in from Houston).

I didn't see/meet her, but once when my parents and I were staying in a condo in Branson the housekeeping staff told us the last guest prior was Phyllis Diller, and she left behind several tips for them hidden beneath gag items like fake vomit & a fake spilled can of Coke :-)

Lou Ferrigno and John Elway. I also hang out with the lead singer of Dr. Neptune on the regular. :laugh:

I saw Meryl Streep this spring in Lowell. She is gracious and modest, a real classy lady. The guy who interviewed her kind of came off as a jerk compared to her. I just saw Robert Redford, also in Lowell, at a fundraising event. I had complained about how old he looks, but he is 78, and now I think he looks pretty damn good. He is a small guy, kind of slight, extremely articulate and intelligent. I was extremely impressed. Seeing him was a wake-up call for me because when I went to the venue, I felt like I was surrounded by old people, especially older women. Then, I realized that I was one of them! All those films that we admired him for are over 40 years old! Anyway, I saw two of my idols in person less than 6 months apart, so I can die happy!

I don't remember all of them

Elton John - I stepped on his toe once, and he was pretty nice about it. We even joked a little.
Anthony Hopkins
Jane Fonda - we had a little argument because she's a horrible, entitled person in real life.
Heather Locklear
Prince
Shaq
Ludacris
Ronnie Dunn
Susan Sarandon
Dita Von Teese
Hank Aaron - I was really awkward and fanboy with him, unfortunately
Chipper Jones
Jessica Lange
Tom Berringer
Ted Turner
Greg Maddox
Pierce Brosnan
Christian Bale
Jared Leto
Tiger Woods
Vijay Singh
Evander Holyfield sat down beside me on a MARTA train.

MANY sports stars


My kids have played with a couple of the Jolie-Pitt kids. Didn't meet the stars, just the kids.

Wade Boggs when i was a child in a sports store with my mom shopping for something for a gift for my dad.

I saw him all the time riding his stupid purple dune buggy when I was growing up. He was kind of a jerk.

I met Beyonce Knowles back when she was part of Destiny's Child. She was sweet, her friends, snobby.

James Best. He's really tall and very personable. We own a few of his paintings.

Christopher Walken, while I was sitting at a 7-11 filling up my car. He pulled in behind me, winked, and started to fill his car up. Of course I was an idiot and asked him what his favorite movie line was. He did this little prance thing and said, "Forget about it." and I almost died. He was wearing pajama pants and I may have fallen in love with him in that minute. He drove away and I hated myself for a week for not asking for a picture or something.

I'm thinking you mean other than hanging outside a stage door. Ben Vereen was on a park bench once in NYC, on his phone. we waited politely until he was through and had a terrific conversation with him.

And I guess Abby from Dance Mom's doesn't count either. I used to teach for her. she's my pal.

Have met quite a few, growing up in the Caribbean does that for you as they all like to vacation somewhere warm! These are all the ones I have interacted with. I was a golf teaching professional for 5 years and caddied in pro tournaments so I know a bunch of golfers.

Lived next to Paul McCartney in Jamaica when I was a kid
Ringo Starr, had dinner with him at friend's house.
Larry Gatlin (Gatlin Brothers)
Randy Travis
Lyle Lovett (before he was famous) really cool guy. Would hang out with us and play guitar in the evenings when he wasn't playing.
VInce Neil
Tommy Lee
Heather Locklear
Richie Sambora

Heather was married to Tommy at the time, but Richie and others were down with Motley Crue on holiday in Grand Cayman. Maybe that is where Richie and her hooked up!

Brian May (Queen baby!) Righteous dude!
Nigel Mansel (F1 and Indy Car Driver, came on island after his big wreck.)
Barry Bonds - used to caddy in his group at Bear Creek in Murrieta California
Tim Herron - good drinking partner
Tom Lehman
Gene Hackman - I was in a scene of the movie The Firm and I had the opportunity to sit with him and his wife at the dinner break.
Ed Harris (he was in Cayman for the Firm, awesome guy)
Michael Williams ex NBA holds the record for consecutive Free Throws made. Taught him golf briefly before he went back to San Antonio.

Those are the ones that stood out for me.

I saw Mark Cuban at a mall not too long ago. He was significantly taller (my husband is 6'4" so somewhere around that height) and actually thinner than I was expecting.

Another one for the Brits....

Barry from Brookside (Paul Usher) at a Greek Island airport. Can't remember which holiday it was. My husband wouldn't shout Barry to see if he turned around lol.

Jenna Von Oy, played Six on the show Blossom. We're actually very good friends with her brother.

Chevy Chase-in NYC at this bar in the village I went to for happy hour after work one day. He was sitting with a group of people eating tapas.

Blake Lively, Leighton meester, and Chace Crawford from Gossip girl. -I was on my way home from work walking to the train and they were filming a scene.

Uma Thurman-shopping at Balducci's in NYC. She's very very tall and slim IRL..even more so than she appears on screen.

Julia Stiles-on the train stopping at Columbus circle in NYC. I didn't think it was her at first because why would a celebrity take the train? But it was and she was very down to Earth and friendly.

Sarah Jessica Parker-walking her dog in Chelsea (NYC).

The Backstreet Boys-backstage at their concert in Tampa Florida in 1998. Shut up don't judge me. BSB 4 eva :blushing:

Derek Jeter-at a Wendy's in Tampa.

Jennifer Lopez-Puerto Rican parade in the Bronx.

LL Cool J-he used to workout at the gym located in my office building in NYC.

Wendy Williams-was good friends with my old boss and used to stop by the office sometimes.

Tony Bennett-getting a hot dog from Gray's papaya.

Al Pacino-eating dinner at Rao's. I almost asked him for his autograph but didn't want to disturb him.

Kate Hudson-shopping at D'agostino's.

Lady Gaga-having drinks with her entourage at this gay bar in NYC called Posh.

Billy Joel
Chevy Chase
Cindy Crawford
Some guy that turned out NOT to be Andre Agassi, altho I still have my suspicions
Alan Alda
John Legend about a year ago, although I didn't know it was him until someone told me. I still didn't know, but shook his hand anyway. Now, of course, I know who he is.
Had beers with Brutus the Barber Beefcake, Tatanka, Luke Bushwacker and some other totally stoned guy
Was Rowdy Roddy Piper's chauffeur and body guard for a small wrestling event. He called my brother on the phone. Cool guy!
A bunch of other older actors that I didn't really even know, models too, used to come in to a store I worked at when I was a teenager
