Antagon Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Mark Hamill, Angelina Jolie, Hale Berry, Jamie Pressly, Jennifer Garner, and Allison Mack. Maybe more...oh yeah, Clinton back when he was president, but didn't actually meet him, just shook his hand... EDIT: Dunno if you can call them "Celebrities", but I hung out with the bands Flogging Molly, Angel City Outcasts, and met the Subhumans. Link to post Share on other sites

Total A***hole! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This does not surprise me. Part of the gig with being a manufactured pop star is you have to actually live inside your own *albartroth*.

Twitch Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 I met Christopher Andrew, a guy who currently has what would probably be one of my dream jobs. Bumped into Stephen Hawkings a couple of times at Caius, back in the day when he was living it up with, rather than being beaten up by, his lady friend. As a rule I don't generally give much attention to celebrities at all if I can help it; if it was a toss up between meeting the latest pre-packaged pop star and someone who'd actually done something of value with their life then I know which I'd plump for ...James Dean Bradfield was nice chap though. Met the D of E at a garden party last summer, and he seemed like quite a pleasant grandaddy type Link to post Share on other sites
BadAssTronaut Posted September 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Angelina Jolie, Hale Berry, <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Angelina Jolie *Drools* Hale Berry *Drools some more* You lucky bugger Don't get me wrong, certain celebs I just cant tolerate, like Rikkster said, allot of them live inside their *albartroth*'s But certain celebs, usually not the ones that have found fame through singing or acting, seem to be pretty decent people, Simon Weston for example is a really decent guy Link to post Share on other sites

Rossmund Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 Yeah, I met Bob Holness once!!! (That old dude off Blockbusters). Miserable sod wouldn't sign an autograph because "if he signed one for me then he would have to sign one for everybody" Delusions of grandeur methinks... Link to post Share on other sites

SilentScope Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 I've lived in New York City for most of my life and I still go there like at least once a week so Ive seen mad famous people. Celebs seem like less of poopies in the City because everyone is an *beep* there. I met Al Sharpton in the City at some coffee shop over the summer. I also saw Jesse Jackson with Micheal More at the RNC protest (it wasn't like I was standing there with them, but close enough) I saw Samuel Jackson in the subway when I was like 5 years old (dont worry I was with mommy). Thats right, Sam Jackson rides the subway because he is mad real. I also saw Jerry Seinfeld standing in line with Bill Cosby at some candy shop in downtown when I was 7. I probably got noticed by all these people because I was with my twin brother and people dig that when you're younger. Ohh before I forget, I saw Jon Stewart around 10 days ago at a book sigining at Borders (in that new Columbus Circle Time Warner building). I got his book America, signed!! *beep* is crazy Link to post Share on other sites
Connery Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 SilentScope?? That you from the old Arnies?? How's the camera life holding up?? Sorry to get off topic, but it's been a while since we've all talked to him... Link to post Share on other sites
Crandall Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 i just got back from lunch and saw the local news guy their. he didn't get to stay long because a mob of screaming girls chased him out of the store saying "we love you local news guy" sad really. Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to get off topic, but it's been a while since we've all talked to him... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah dude thats me. Ive been too busy lately for anything like forums. I like the new site. Maybe I'll come here more often cause the sigs are back. I ve been holding up pretty well with my camera. I might get some money from Apple for this PSA I shot last month (they had some local student film thing goin down). Other than that not much new in my neck of the woods. I havent held a gun in like 2 months (real or airsoft) but I could care less. Link to post Share on other sites
Zen Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 I once met Craig Charles briefly in a theatre bar in Hampstead. It is probably coincidence but a minor character in Red Dwarf has the same name as me... Saw the late Peter Cook on Hampstead High Street once. Where I live now there is a big BBC studios nearby, and they tend to "borrow" bits of the town for filming... I was in the local Tesco while they were filming "The Tweenies", I was delayed dropping my Daughter at school because they were filming "Spooks" at an old school nearby, another local school appeared in an episode of "Ultimate Force" and a disused bus stop in the next street has "Holby Bus Company" signs on it. My Father once played in a charity football match with Bob Monkhouse, and boxed Eamon Andrews. He also briefly served under Douglas Bader. My Sister met Princess Anne when she was in the Brownies. I once worked in an Office overlooking Brent Cross Shopping Centre. Margrat Thatcher did a book signing there, and there were two police snipers on the roof of the centre facing our way... My luckiest escape also involved Brent Cross, Barbara Windsor was doing a book signing, I realised just in time and got out without meeting her. My ex Geography Teacher is sort of famous...His picture appeared in the Sun when he was sent to prison... Link to post Share on other sites
Ragor Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 I've only ever met royalty, Princess Anne, on a visit to my school, she went home in a very pretty deep red helicopter. Prince Edward, and Sophie (his wife).. well, we escaped citizenship to meet him, and after mentioning that to him he sniggered rather childishly, but its all good. Other than that, well, i was fairly close to the Queen, does that count? Link to post Share on other sites

oikoik Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 hahaha lol. anyway.. my dad shook hands with the queen. or was she still princess back then? well, he was in the air force back then, and she came along for a meet n greet.. if it means anything to anyone i sat on a plane with the pm of pakistan, travelled in his convoy, and the pm's [a later pm] personal helo [a Mil Mi-8 'Hip'] would land in my uncles neighbours garden.. [for obvious reasons] - made for noisy sunday afternoons.. some of my family also attended the funeral of someone who'd been assassinated [but this was never said alot as he wasnt very liked by anyone]. but this was a while ago.

Samm Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Steve Coogan *watches HavocMan intently* His brother lives down the road from my aunty in Manchester so I was told, to which I replied "Heh, Steve Coogan, cool name, I bet he get's a lot of people asking him about his name"... Or something to that extent... Then when I was told it was the Steve Coogan I was thinking of, I proceeded to go "WHAT?! WHOOOAA"... Anyhoo he came to my cousins 21st after that, red nosed and bright eyed at all the 21 year olds around... Had a drink with him, very nice man. I got him to say ah ha for me , got a pic with him, me and my dad. Link to post Share on other sites

Marlowe Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 For what it's worth, I've met Sir Robert Winston (the professor with the fuzzy hair and the tash who presents the BBC Human Body documentaries) at my graduation, as he's the chancellor of the university I studied at. Very nice man. Because I'd got various things that'd been awarded to me, which was bloody embarrassing, I kept going backwards on forwards on stage in front of 1,000 people because the speaker kept going 'who also won blah blah.....' , then leaving a large pause before saying 'and who also won....', he had a chat to me etc. Which was nice. Oh and I've met Dame Thora Hird, towards the end of her life sadly. She was visiting Cannon Hall in Barnsley with her family. We didn't realise it was her at first - she was looking somewhat frail but very friendly in a wheelchair - but as we passed we said hello and it it dawned on me who she was. Beyond that nothing really. My Dad and my Uncle Keith have led far more colourful lives than I. But hey, I'm 22. Plenty time yet - Oh wait. I'm a lecturer. Never mind.
