Met any celebrities?

Have you ever met any IRL? If so, who?

I met Joe Montana one time and got an autograph. I know he’s a famous football player but it was just “meh” meeting him. Got the signature and moved on with my day. Lol

I've never met any!

I met Ray Lewis while I was doing a medical stand-by for the PFL a few months back. Pretty chill guy.

I've never met anyone famous. My brother has because he's always going to comic con festivals around the states. He's met William Shatner, Jason Momoa, Jason Frank, and several others.

Nerd! ...just kidding, you should go with him sometime. I've always wanted to go to one of those.

A famous musician band in my country once came to my house (don't ask how and why). I ignored them completely and played games on my computer the whole time.

How and why did that happen?

Margaret Thatcher
Andy Taylor from Duran Duran (his wife is the daughter of my ex boss)
Ronnie Barker, British comedian
Christopher Chittell, British actor
Don Powell from Slade
Former athlete Chris Brasher
Author Terry Pratchett
Soccer manager Billy Wright
Soccer player Don Goodman
Snooker player Perrie Mans

I also went to school with a former Aston Villa player but to name him would give away my age.

I have not. There's a dearth of them in my area and I never seem to run into people like that in my travels. My son and I did meet the hosts of a Canadian gaming TV show at a con once, but they were celebs in the Canadian gaming community at best. Not that generally well-known. Nice, smart, funny guys, though.

Closest I have come to a real celeb would be standing in line at a Toronto comic book store with singer-songwriter Bruce Cockburn (it sure looked like him, anyhow) not far ahead of me. I wasn't going to bug him while he was out shopping, though.

EDIT: Forgot one. On a trip to Ottawa with my school's orchestra, we got waved at by then-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, whose son Justin now occupies that job.

I've met a few country singers years ago and they weren't worth remembering.

 

[freakofnature]

Do hockey players count?

I met my favourite band back when I was in high school. They were an obscure Canadian Christian band so I'm not sure if that counts either.

I hardly go anywhere so not something will happen easy
