Have you ever actually met a celebrity?

Anyone ever met a celebrity?

Me, NO
but my Brother worked for Arnold, I just never actually got to meet him....

*edit* when I was working for the airlines and Planet of the Apes was being filmed here
I saw Mark Wahlberg and Michael Duncan....(Michael was as big as a house!) :Q

I got an autograph from my boy Brian Urlacher at summer camp a couple years ago, does that count?

 

[Shawn]

Met? no. Actually seen in person? Yes.

 

[lavagirl669]

Ok, we can also count seen in person then
and sure autographs count!

I _am_ a celebrity.

James LaBrie from Dream Theater
2 Live Crew

If you count local celebrities, then I used to work with a bunch of them at the radio station.

The a few of the guys from Farscape and X-files. Were at a convention near where I live. I met them. I am so cool.

So if I went to some baseball games, that would count as seeing a lot of celebrities?

I saw Lou Pinella at a mall once.

Also met 3 of 4 members of White Zombie (not Rob Zombie, though). Also got an autograph from Eddie Spaghetti of the Supersuckers, if you count that as celebrity.

 

[biffbacon]

oh, yeah, and i met reggie miller once at another bar.

 

[lavagirl669]

Have driven Jack Niklaus around for a fund raiser, he was very drunk.

I met Peter North at the East Coast Porno convention a couple of years ago. I was with a wannabe porno director named Lucky Charlie and we were at a party. In walks Peter and then some dude announces that the great Peter North has entered the room. Lucky said a few words to Peter and he ignored him. I said hi to Peter and he said hi back. I told him that I thought he was great at what he did and he said thanks.

After we left lucky told me that Peter North is all d*** and no brains. He said that Peter was the dumbest f*ck that he has ever met but I think he was mad because Peter ignored him and talked with me for a brief sec. I wasn't trying to be something I wasn't and I truly believe he knew it.

Well that was it.

I've met a few. I used to rent cars to Bill Nunn. First time I met him he asked me if I knew who he was but I actually had no idea who he was. He came in and rented cars on a number of occasions and he is actually a very nice guy.

I also met Jack Klugman in the same industry...quite the let down actually. He spoke through his throat because of throat cancer and he was kind of cranky and old.

Other than that I've been in the presence of Jeff Bridges on the steps in Santa Monica simply because my wife liked to go and exercise there and I guess he did as well because I remember passing him a few times on the stairs.

I have a funny picture of Cameron Diaz. A friend of mine and I were at the Long Beach GP a few years ago and he snapped a shot of her from over the fence. She's kind of looking up at him with a WTF look on her face. He's like 6'7" so the fences there were easy for him to peak over with a camera.

 

[Crappopotamus]

i met tie domi (maple leafs enforcer). he's hella short...

 

[SRT10]
