    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:

    I worked for a retailer in Atlanta that was located near four or five country clubs that are loaded with celebrities. I've met Tony Braxton, Jeff Foxworthy, Usher, T. Pain, Kim Zolciak (of Real Housewives of Atlanta), and Bobbi Kristina Brown. Toni Braxton came in wearing gym clothes and full camera make-up, which was weird. T.Pain sent his "crew" in ahead of time to announce that he was going to be shopping and to act like he wasn't there - maybe, had they not announced he was coming, he would have been less conspicuous. Kim's daughter and Bobbi Brown were in on different nights but both acted like brats. Usher was cool and collected, signed a few autographs and went on his way. Jeff Foxworthy shopped frequently in the two stores I worked at in the area and was the nicest of them all. I spent several minutes talking to him about his farm/ranch that was a few miles away and he seemed very down-home.

    Or even seen for real?
    I haven't ever met anybody who is famous. :grumble:
    I have a friend who was at a party with David Schwimmer (from "Friends").

    I want my 15 seconds of fame!

    I was a RN in Houston/Humble Tx and lived and grew up in Nashville
    so I have met Oprah( her father was friends with my Dad. I have met most of the Oak Ridge Boys (a hs peer is the drummer for them and his Father is William Lee Golden), I have met Willie Nelson (my sister was a server at his son's wedding but I didn't meet him that way), We had drinks one night with Charlie Pride(First Af-Am country music singer), I've met Johnny Cash, Grandpa Jones (his Daughter Alicia introduced me), I've met Al Gore (he was campaigning for office in Nashville and it was no big deal), I have met Marianne from Gilligan's island (she was at my HS graduation). I met a lot of older singers especially country music ppl etc. Like Roy Orbison was sitting behind us at a restaurant when I was young and I said "hi" to him but didn't know who he was lol. Kris Krisofferson and Rita Coolidge (when they were married (were sitting behind us in a chili parlor once and we asked if it was him and he said he was "Johnny Fudge" and they all laughed:) I met Roy Acuff once in HS. And several others but I can't remember them all.. and I have a FB friend who is my husband's HS peer was tv producer Chris Peterson from "That 70's show" and he was in the "Punk'd" episode with Mila Kunis so that was pretty cool. We saw a lot of ppl at the Phoenix Comicon like Stan Lee (Marvel comics) and Billy Dee Williams and Wil Wheaton (Star Trek) and Leonard Nimoy, Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters)
    And Dusty Hill from ZZ top (took care of his Mom) once, Amy Grant (took care of her Grandma a long time ago and Amy visited) and George Foreman (took care of a family member once) and Kellye Cash (Miss America 1987).
    I also met the other guy with Kris Kristofferson who wrote "Me and Bobby McGhee": Fred Foster and saw the necklace he wears from when it went gold (A half dollar size gold necklace they give/gave them).
    And an in the early 90's I met Hakeem Olajuwon from the Houston Rockets
    Linda Blair around the time that she was doing "The Exorcist"

    Probably doesn't count as famous to anyone on here, but if you have a preschooler, or a little one, it was awesome. We met the Fresh Beat Band (from Nick Jr.), paid $300 for a family of 3 to see their concert and do the meet and greet, but so worth it. They may not be "famous" per say based on the names ppl have listed on here before me, but they are really talented and are on TV at our house every day. My now 3 year old was blown away by the experience =) so that is ALL that matters =) and for the record, they are really nice as well.

    most of the celebrities I met were at a convention, I saw Tom Felton (Dracoy Malfoy), a few cast members of True Blood, it was Sam, Pam and Lafayette

    the only time I saw a celebrity not at a convention was during the time I was working at a movie theater and Usher went to see a movie with that girl from TLC. Usher is a total **** and full of himself, he made the the back row and front row seats of where he was sitting cleared so it was just him and his girl at that time to themselves, I thought it was a **** move personally, especially when other people who paid to see the movie as well were asked to move away from them.

    I would love to meet Robert Downey Jr though!

    Most people involved in Uk politics including Margaret Thatcher, our current Prime Minister David Cameron, George Osborne etc.

    I'm a political agent so this is not entirely unsurprising.

    Used to be a stage manager in theatre. Didn't work with many famous people - did mostly small scale stuff - although I did work with Brian Blessed on a pantomime for a while.
