Ever met anyone famous? How was it?

[Akemi Homura 7,680]

I met Eli Manning because I went to a Giant's practice in Albany and I was picked to help out on the field. We talked for about 5 minutes and shook hands.

That man has LONG fingers.

 

Shaking hands with a 6'4, 218 pound NFL QB will make you believe so.

Garth Brooks lives in my hometown and my friend is related to him so i get to go to his house sometimes hes a nice guy he knows me by name and says hi around town. Besides that ive met ben stein he was pretty cool and i got to talk to him for a bit.

Eh... closest thing to meeting a famous person would be standing about 3-4 steps from Sy Keeler of Onslaught during a show in Toronto. I think the only thing I said to him was "sorry" because he was trying to pass by and get into the venue while me and my cousin were just hanging around.

I met the RZA after he played a show here. That was pretty swag.

My dad met Alan Alda once...In a bathroom!

LOL

 

When I was ten I met Isaac Asimov. He was a very nice man. I love his robot stories.

 

I almost forgot. My brother met B.B. King.

[I used to be a stranger 7,989]

I met me and extended my hand for a shake.

Eventually we got confused when we tried to meet half-way, so we went out for a pint.

 

This has been the funnest way of saying "Beer run" I've ever imagined.

Brian "Head" Welch (ex. KoRn) gave me a free shirt and talked to me a few minutes. Alice Cooper waved goodbye to me after a concert one time. I looooove Alice Cooper.

I've met a few through interviews in the past, both in-person and via telephone. Big Boi (from Outkast), Ken Casey of the Dropkick Murphys, Colin Hay, Quincy Jones, RedOne, Janelle Monae, Carah Faye (Shiny Toy Guns) and a few NASCAR drivers are among my favorites. Also got to talk to Daniel Ingram before... guess he isn't famous IRL per se, but he probably counts on a forum like this!

[Mephala 2,633]

Well, 'famous' people are just people, so it's not a big deal.

I've met A Day to Remember, Black Veil Brides, The Devil Wears Prada, August Burns Red, Dance 5avin Dance, The Ready Set, and a few other bands. I don't remember XD

Roméo Dallaire - Great man, involved with the failed UN peacekeeping mission during the Rwandan Genocide. Read his books.

Yes I have actually! Carson Kugler, a former storyboard artist for Spongebob Squarepants, was one of the teachers of my multimedia class in high school, no joke. Really awesome dude, god-tier at drawing too, naturally.

For people who follow football. (Buffalo Bills in my case) I live across the street from RB Fred Jackson and though I haven't personally spoke with him, my father has and he goes to our street's block party every August.

 

I played soccer with Jim Kelly's daughter for a year. (Jim Kelly the Hall of Fame QB)

 

Back when I was a baby I met multiple Buffalo Sabres, supposedly one shook my little hand.

 

I have an autograph from Dominik Hašek (Famous goalie) that was not from an autograph signing event.

[roomforapony 285]

I met Shawn Bradley once at this basketball camp I went to. I tried to do a lay-up or something and he told me that it's okay because "you can play defense like me!"

 

I also could of met David Liebe Hart, but I got way too nervous and didn't want to bother him because he was being bombarded by other fans.

[TOMahwk 351]

I met Kenny Lofton (Baseball Player)

 

I met Tomas Kalnoky (Streetlight Manifesto)

 

I've met about 70% of the current Cleveland Browns

 

I've been within 20 feet of Ellen Paige (if that counts as meeting)

[Arashi Takamine 121]

My mom knew Linkin Park before they were famous...It was way before I was born though back before my cousin (Who was going to be in the band with them) passed away. She said they were nice boys back then.

[JhonHipster 124]

I've never met anyone famous but Pamela Anderson is a distant cousin of mine.

[Otter 1,942]

The only famous people I've met is at signature booths at concerts. Thousand Foot Krutch were the only famous people that I've met that I actually cared to meet. There was a rumor that Johnny Depp was looking for trouble around my town, but I never saw him.

[SrFrog 926]

O.K. yeah, no matter what way I look at it that sounds pretty awesome.

[spas-ticShotty 3,582]

I met Salim Rashid and I know him very well.

 

He's in a bad situation now. :/

[Sageflare 272]

Famous people I met. Well the first people I met where the senators of my state when me and my mom went to Washington D.C. and I got to go into the capital building. I have pics but I got to find them first.

 

Another famous person I met was Dennis Anderson he is the driver of the monster truck Grave Digger. I met him when I went to Las Vegas to see the Monster Jam Finals.

[The Awesome One 1,314]

I've met Wasim Akram,A retired cricketing great from my country who was one of the reasons Pakistan lifted the world cup in 1992.

I met him at my friend's birthday party.

I came across Notch in a hallway once.

 

Eye contact was established as I raised a single brow while glancing at him with a rather blank face. I grudgingly gave him a nod of respect as we passed each other by, which he returned with one of his own. There was no physical contact, and nary a single word shared.

Alright, now I am really jelly.

I met some Olympic level swimmers at a swim camp in Texas. I hate swimming.

 

My dad used to be best friends with Judd Nelson when they were kids, so that's pretty neat.
