None for me. What about you? What was your experience? How did you come across them? Were they mean or nice? Did they look different in person? Bigger? Smaller?

Arnie.
We were on holidays, and riding push bikes around Santa Monica one day. pulled over at some traffic lights because we were lost.... Arnie + security pulled up beside us on bikes, black suv following. We didn't care where we were going, but we followed (never pedalled so fast in my life!) until he turned left across three lanes of traffic. We went to check our Venice beach, then to golds where we bumped in to him as he was walking out. Wasn't as big as I imagined, didn't say a lot, but let me have a pic with him.0 -

I may not have seen Forrest Gump but I do know what celebrity is .2 -

Tiger woods is a kitten bag--
So is Kenny Chesney... they are SUPER rude, entitled & loud about it.
Faith hill is the least friendly human on the planet.
Bill Murray, Clint, marky mark & Justin Timberlake are my favorites- very down to earth and all around good guys.
Where I live it's common to see celebs all over the place- so I'm not fazed by them- Ive never met any as a "fan" mostly as a patron of the same restaurant, grocery store etc... it probably makes a difference when you don't ask for photos/autographs.
Maybe you could introduce me to a few next month1 -

I've never seen it, is he a fox or raccoon?
He was Forrest Gump's friend. His only friend.

Waited on Leonard Nimoy in Tahoe. Made a big impression. Charisma. Depth. Kindness. Humor. AND HE WAS *kitten* SPOCK FOR *kitten*'S SAKE!!!
Red Hot Chili Peppers ate at the sushi bar at the restaurant where I worked in Maui. For some reason that wasn't all that exciting... Then, a few weeks later, VICTOR NEWMAN FROM THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS CAME IN AND I WAS GIDDY WITH EXCITEMENT.
I hadn't watched the soap in years. I don't know what came over me. Guy's magnetic.
I think there are others. My life is super glamorous.2 -
Had breakfast next to (and talked with, briefly) Josh Hamilton (baseball player). We're pretty much the same size, but he seemed at least twice as big as me. That's what being paid to be in shape is like, I suppose.0

Muhammad Ali. His son was playing a baseball game and I went up and said hi. I couldn't understand anything he was saying but his wife waas next to us interpretting for me. He kissed me on the cheek and told me I was beautiful! I was 13.8

Ed O'Neill , solid guy.

A very close friend of mine worked with Alice Cooper to open an urban community center. Mister Cooper was gracious and charitable beyond words.6

Played pool with Keifer sutherland. He lost.3

Saw George Takei outside of the theatre on Broadway. He was busy and we were running late for the show, would have tried for an autograph otherwise.0

I guess it depends on your definition of celebrity but...
Mark Stepnosky (Dallas Cowboy) - at a restaurant
Michael Irvin (Dallas Cowboy) - stopped at my job site asking for directions
Ken Curtis (Festus from Gunsmoke) - at a stock show
Ann Richards (governor of Texas) - at a gas station
Jim Wright (Speaker of the House) - Sat next to him at the circus
Michael Martin Murphey (singer) - cattle show
Brad Hawpe (Colorado Rockies) - went to school together and I actually coached his younger brother who was also an outstanding ball player
Craig Ludwig (Dallas Stars, player/broadcaster) - played softball with him
Toby Harrah (Texas Rangers, player/manager) - went to his camp as a kid and his son went to school and played ball with my brother
I actually used to be a big fan of Mark Stepnosky until I saw first hand what an *kitten* he is. Irvin has issues but he is actually really cool in person.0 -
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
2004 I got on elevator in St Louis airport. There was a seven foot black man holding a pillow. My brain screamed " That's Lou Alicindor!" We are the same age so my brain went back to the 1960s.
Then I said "Are you Hakeem Olajuwon?"
He looked at me like I was a confused old white man. I didn't realize my mistake until later.
Magic Johnson
Asked for his autograph in Milwaukee airport, super nice to me even when the government pen I handed him would not work.
Scott Glenn
Recognized him standing by luggage carousel waiting for his bags. Asked him if he was Scott Glenn,
he was either very quiet or just annoyed that I asked him? He appeared to be with his family.5 -
