Have you met anyone famous? Maybe you got their autograph once, or shared a plane trip. Maybe you went to school with a celebrity -- or are even related to one.
What were they like? I'd love to hear about your brush with fame.
I met a lot of famous people because it was my job. I worked as a PR in show business (mainly with French singers - Serge Gainsbourg, Johnny Halliday, Michel Sardou,..) then in movies business. Can tell you Jane Fonda, Mel Brooks, Harrison Ford, ... are wonderful people. Great souvenirs with William Hurt and a lot of laugh with Clint Eastwood!

Nice to see ur message. Well I have not met famous persons in my life. But yes there are some people down to earth who are having three parameters in their life... Intention, initiative and integrity....
Like in "real" live, there are wonderful people and piss off people amongst the celebrities. But most of the real famous singers and actors I met were nice, friendly, polite, respectful, professional, intelligent. They also have a acute sensitivity and TALENT!

I have met numerous because of where I work. Only a handful I have had the opportunity to talk to, but I get pretty much in there face on occasion. I have vowed to keep there private life private and I'm not telling who I have met. Especially not a couple of presidents and my favorite, Eva Longoria !! opps, that just slipped out.

I think Robert wanted to involve all to share the names who carry the parameters like nice, friendly, polite, respectful, professional, intelligent.... which is the demand of the day

There can be more chances to slip out. Take a try .. Others in the forum will enjoy.

Yes, I saw 'Dipper' the other night in Ceduna. He was SO much taller, his hair SO much darker, and mustache SO much bigger than how he appears on TV. He stared at me and I at him as we walked passed each other near the Foreshore Hotel dining room, but I was in a hurry to catch my flight and so couldn't stop to say hello.
(apologies to non-Aussies who have no idea who 'Dipper' is. He is a past Australian Football League player, and a celebrity for many years.

I recently met Darren Gough, the cricketer, I was just blown away by his beautiful skin. He was also very upset by people's comments to him, the only thing anyone one wanted to talk about was Strictly Come Dancing rather than his cricketing achievements. So if you read this Darren sorry for asking you to pose for a photo in ballroom hold...but I really loved watching you play cricket too!
