Maybe i would meet some famous people if i got out of my house more :D

[someboyrafa]

ive met beardsley who used to play for newcastle and england when he was buying some shoes in sports direct like.

I've seen Danny DeVito, Linda Hamilton, Donnie Yen, and a couple of authors and other film people. If you want to count musicians and singers as well, then I have seen a bunch live, most notably Lana Del Rey (didn't meet her, though). I met Ben Cooper, who is the man behind Radical Face, and I also met Elena Tonra from the band Daughter. They were both really nice, but I was too starstruck and shy to really say anything other than "I'm a big fan." I've also met Craig Charles, the Lion Man, and a few Japanese film directors. I've been going to the London Comic Con for ten years, which has attracted some big names who I wouldn't mind meeting (Elijah Wood, Brian Blessed, etc), but you usually have to pay to meet them and get a picture, which I'm not a big fan of, so I never bother.

Sure, yeah, I've saw some celebrities at a reasonably short distance but, oh the other hand, I never really INTERACTED with them; for example, asking them about the 134th random screaming human in the middle of a crowd would be no use to them. But there are exceptions: One of the dancers from a former wellknown Brazilian band (Sheila Carvalho) came to our city to attend an event regarding the grand opening of a department store and we did really take pictures with her as a meet-n'-greet and she said to me and my mom: "Gosh, look, his heart is beating so fast ahahha" - I was about 5 at the time! Moments........

Again, there's this story about when my parents kept telling me about the presence of the duo Sandy & Junior next to the crowded entrance of a hotel... but I couldn't see them! And I still don't know whether they were just making fun of me faking their presence or not hahaahah

[Alkaz]

Seen, The Saturdays, McBusted, Scouting for Girls, The Vamps, Diversity, The Queen, Kate Middleton, Prince William, Prince Harry, Prince Phillips, Prince Charles, Camilla Wales, Chris Tarant, Kate Garraway, Jacqueline Josa, Dan Osborne. Probably a few more...

It was great, we had tickets to watch them perform at the Embassy Centre in Skegness, when they finished we found out we could get pictures and autographs. This was back before amazing phones and cameras, we didn't even have a disposable one so we just had to have them sign their autograph on the picture we had. The day before we went to see them, my nanny had fallen and had her arm in a sling, because of this we got to queue jump too, lmao.

Oh I remember, I've also met the legend darts player Phil Taylor!

[lawrawrrr]

I've met met len goodman and a couple of olympians (not major ones) who went to my school if they count??

I've seen Paul Hollywood, Gabby Allen from Love Island and Jay Rayner, all at Euston station...

I'll have added another to the list by next week, going to a talk by Gordon Brown in the Concert Rooms, St George's Hall, Liverpool.

The former Prime Minister, Gordon Brown will talk about a remarkable forty years on the political frontline.

Join us for this landmark event to celebrate the release of his forthcoming memoir, My Life, Our Times, which reflects candidly on an extraordinary career; from New Labour's 1997 landslide electoral victory, to the 2008 global financial crisis and the historic 2014 Scottish and 2016 European referendums.

If there's a Q&A session I am going to ask him if he thinks the Labour government's refusal to hold a referendum (as promised) on the Lisbon Treaty in 2009 led to the In/Out referendum in 2016 and consequently Brexit itself.

I think I might have seen Queen Rania. Not sure though :P
