famous people we may have met

Re: famous people we may have met

I've met loads of famous hip hop artists.
Although they're only famous if you're interested in hip hop (which most of you aren't).
I also know a fair few people in well known punk bands (but most of you seem to dislike punk too).
I have also met quite a few famous pro wrestlers (again, not popular on here).
Also a few more well known musicians, but again, only in various circles.
I know, I know, i'm not impressing anybody.

I have friends who know some incredibly famous people who you will all have heard of, but I myself am still a link in the chain away.

OK, how about Dave Prowse aka Darth Vader, he's famous, i've met him.
But considering that he visited thousands of schools as the Green Cross Code man that's probably even less impressive.
OK, i'm shutting up.

Tom Hanks
I took this pic in November 1995 during the filming of "That Thing You Do." A few days before I had walked right by him and didn't realise who it was.

Also bumped into Jenson Button at Heathrow airport in 2009, we were taking the same flight to Japan, although I was not in first class! (he won the championship that year).

I met The Seekers in Sheffield after their 25th Reunion show in 1995, met Al Martino on his final UK tour in 2008, also met Esther Rantzen and Anita Harris at a Matt Monro book launch in 2011 and had my photo taken with both, and also Buddy Greco at the same event.

I'd be interested, are they new Hip Hop artists or old school ones?

I've met a couple of old schoolers from the late 80s/early 90s.

I suppose i'd best add some different ones seeing as my last one will probably be erased from history now.....

These are ones i've spoken to:

Tom Baker
Michael Sheard
Frank Skinner
Zoe Ball
Smiley (from Smiley's people and Spaced)
Zammo
Roland Browning
Dave Prowse (he was judging a Star Wars fancy dress compo at a toy shop)
Buster Bloodvessel (and some of the band - a mate used to guest for them sometimes)
Stereo MCs (jumped out on the skinny bloke when we were recording at a studio)
PM Dawn
There are more but my memory is fading.

I have met quite a few "modern" celebs too through my Mrs' work, they're all Australian ones so you wouldn't know many, maybe Gotye? the guy who sang "Somebody You Used to Know", but my Mrs has met far more than me, including Danni Minogue, Ed Sheeran, The twins from Good Charlotte, tripod, are just some of them.

John Pertwee who played Dr Who came to our school in the 70's. I have no idea the reason for his visit be he signed our autograph book

John also played Worzel Gommidge in the TV series of the same name alongside Una Stubbs who played Aunt Sally

Re: famous people we may have met

The closest I have gotten is meeting Tom Coyne, who presented BBC Midlands Today in the 70s when he opened a fete I attended.

Re: famous people we may have met

Edward Woodward opened our fete when I was a man-cub - didn't meet him, though...

Re: famous people we may have met

Dave Prowse came to my school in 1987 to do his famous talk about the Green Cross Code and road safety.

Leslie Crowther in the same year when he helped open up a new store for the first time.

Richard Bacon for the same reasons, but in the 1990s.

There are others but they haven't come to mind as I am writing this.

Re: famous people we may have met
