What famous person have you ever met?

Gordie Howe, Jason Priestly, Allan Thicke - they were playing a charity hockey game at Joe Louis in the late 80's...

Bret Michaels (very briefly) and sang a song with CC DeVille playing guitar at an after-party. That was a childhood dream of mine LOL

ETA: as far as seeing people in person, too many to list between concerts and WWF when I was a kid.

I met Dean Knoozt. But The Stephen King lady wins that one.

That would be cool too!!!

Tom T Hall brought me on stage and sang to me once when I was really little and then gave me an autographed tape after the concert. I also had my picture taken with Ty Murray when I was about 15. I had all these plans on what I would say to him and I totally couldn't speak when they finally snuck me over to meet him (it was in a bar). LOL

The rapper Mannie Fresh, from New Orleans. We saw him in an air port and no one else picked up on the fact it was him. So my husband asked him for a picture and he said that he would do it as they were boarding so that people wouldnt go crazy. We now have a picture of My husband, Mannie Fresh and our 9month old daughter, lol.

I met Tone Loc at Sky harbor Airport. he actually rode on the plane with my niece from Colorado, he kept her company because she was scared. He was a very nice guy and let us take pictures with him

Neil Gaiman....he was wonderful

I met the horse that played Shadowfax in LOTR. Does that count?

oh ****, ABSOLUTELY

I met Lyle Alzado. My friends and I were hanging out at the local mall in jr. high and he happened to be there. We got to meet him before everyone realized who he was and he got mobbed.

I had a summer fling with Ed O'Brien from Radiohead back in the early 90's (before they were very famous). I met Prince Charles by chance when I was 6 years old. I have met various lead singers of 80's alternative bands (I used to hangout at the back door after shows).

when i was 14 or so I saw Nicholas Cage shoot a scene from Family Man...and my sister waited on Florence Henderson at a local restaurant in my town ..she left 3 dollars as a tip..guess those brady kids emptied her pockets!

I have met and gotten my pic taken with Matthew McConaughey. He was of course very down to earth and friendly.

Johnny Depp!!! And he wasn't as dreamy in person with the smell of booze on his breath, and gawd awful teeth. I'd totally still do him though! :laugh:

Jesse Jackson, ... Sat beside him on a flight from LA to Denver one year. He was actually pretty cool to talk to.
