I've met and spoken with several famous people over the years. Let's start
Charlie Hunnam: He was filming a movie next store to my place. Many people were lined up for autographs and pictures. I was not but noticed the crowd. I walked out my front door only to have his driver pull up to me. He rolled down the window and asked where a good restaurant was. I made a recommendation. He nodded at me and went on his way.
Karl Malone: I was staying at MGM in Vegas for my bachelor party in May 2013. At around 8am, I get the urge to go play some cards. I stumble out of my room and enter the elevator. At the next floor a massive black man enters. He is fully equipped in gym gear. I say "You have waaaay more motivation than me to work out right now" He glances at me, takes off his head gear and says with a hint of annoyance " What was that?" I repeat myself and he chuckles. We shoot the breeze about Canada and he says he goes hunting there. I notice he has a Malone hat on. Then it clicks. I ask him if he's Karl Malone and he laughs and says yes. We get to another floor and other guests enter. We can continue to chat until he gets off at the gym floor. Oh and this was my second time leaving the room to play cards as I forgot my wallet and needed to return to the room. I would have never met the Mailman if I initially brought my wallet
Billy Crystal: He sad in front of me on a flight from LA to Toronto. I was on my way home from my honeymoon in the French Polynesian Islands ( Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora) When we were clearing customs, I asked him if he wanted to cut in line. He declined. I then saw him at luggage pickup where he waited and waited and waited for his bags. Everyone's bags had come but his and security/airport staff attended to him as Billy laughed. He was literally the last man standing at the luggage pick up.
Jessica Simpson: I was at the Aberostar Pariso Mayan. For anyone who frequents all inclusives you know the bar is pretty much always open. My girlfriend at the time had passed out after a shift of day drinking. I was feeling ok, so I popped back a perk and went to one of the bars by the pools. I sat down and low and behold to my left was a group of 4 people. One very lucky alpha wolf and three babes. I thought the blonde looked familiar and then it clicked it was her. I began chatting them all up and we talked about Canada ( they asked how cold it was, said I was crazy for living there, etc) and had some drinks. About 10 other people joined our party and drank with ys. We took back a bunch of tequila sunrises and after around 90 minutes they retreated for the rooms. I told Jessica and her crew where I was staying and said swing by for a party whenever! They said thanks for the offer but were leaving at like 6am the next morning and had to get on a flight outta there. She gave me a peck on the cheek and said "enjoy the rest of your trip, eh"

Ok not counting meeting rock stars at autograph sessions or fighters at seminars, I haven't run into too many. I met Lennox Lewis at the mall (Yorkdale mall) maybe 9 or 10 years ago. He was with this older white couple. He had been retired for a couple years, he was a little chubby, but damn he's a huge guy. Nobody would ever want to fuck with this guy. I shook his hand and my hand just disappeared into his massive mitt. I told him he should come back and take his belt back and he just laughed.
I saw Carlos Newton at Ribfest in Scarborough a couple summers ago. I think it was summer 2013. He was just waiting in line for some ribs. I went over and talked to him for a bit, nobody there seemed to know who he was. A buddy of mine used to train with him, so we shared a couple stories about him, we talked about what ribs were the best and I think we talked about whatever UFC was coming up. He seemed like a cool dude.
But I have to say, with all due respect, that the girl he was with was really gross. This skinny white girl who looked like someone from the "faces of meth" picture. She was a Boise 2 at best, and that's being generous. At first I thought maybe she recognized him like I did and was just talking to him briefly, but later I saw them laid out on the grass and he was hugging and kissing up on her. I mean to each their own, but it was surprising.

I've never really been one to go out of my way to meet anyone famous. I know people who always try to get pictures and used to hang around after gigs but I never really wanted to do that apart from a couple of times.
I've got three and neither of them are very impressive!
Casey Chaos (AMEN) and Bard 'Faust' Ethan (Scum, Emperor, Zyklon):
I saw AMEN live about 15 times and became friendly with Casey so was often at hotels and backstage with the band. Weirdest time was in his hotel room with my mate and a load of groupies, very strange.
Faust was part of the short-lived Scum band with Casey on vocals, he's the guy who murdered a guy in Norway, so that was weird meeting a murderer.
Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster:
Just hung out in the dressing room a few times, for some reason the singer Guy McKnight thought I was in a band called The Kinison.
Samantha Bentley:
She's a porn star and did something in 'Game of Thrones'. Judging by the amount of videos of her online, she works A LOT.
I met her a couple of times because she was mates with my ex.
She once showed me a picture of Ian Watkins' penis on her laptop (she was seeing him at the time) for reasons I don't recall. Yes the same Ian Watkins who is now in jail for conspiring to rape a baby :icon_conf

Met Chyna the pro wrestler when I was 10 in Santa Ana, CA. She was very nice.
Met Danny Castillo after my my fight in 2010. Looks like a douche but one of the nicest fighters/ people I've met. This was before he was in the UFC.
Met Thiago Silva. He was vey nice but spoke little english. Also Ben saunders, Brian Stann, Tony Fryklund.
Trained at Jens Pulver gym in Idaho and seen him at Buffalo Wild wings watching a UFC. Really cool.
Trained at Scotty Jorgensen's gym for a few years. Joe warren and Kit cope were there quite a bit.
I always hear the opposite but Clay guida was the biggest douche I've met.
Edit:
I've met a buttload of fighters so I might not remember them all. Jeremy Horn was also cool.
I also met that gangly tall girl ref in Reno, NV. Kim winslow
Said Hi to Ian Johnson, former star running back at boise state.

I briefly talked to Guida in a Newark bar the night Jones beat Shogun. He said Shogun looked out of shape/like shit. I asked him if it would've made a difference if he was in shape, and he said "probably not".
I didn't really get a nice-guy or d-bag vibe from him. Why did he suck so much?
Edit: I also met Tito Ortiz in a Vegas sportsbook, and he was actually a really cool guy.

I got a photo with Fedor in some scuzzy casino in Calgary. It was amazing. It was so amazing I accidentally made a pass at the fat Mexican dude who'd been taking the photos and I didn't even care because he'd done something magical that day

I met The Big Show when I was 13 at a WCW show. I shook his hand and it was massive. His fingers extended well past my wrist and he just engulfed my hand. It was the largest person I have ever seen in my life.
Besides that I have only met a bunch of different fighters. Evan Tanner was by far the coolest. Brock was a dick.

He was traveling with muscle pharm as were other athletes and was getting paid.
He wouldn't give fans the light of day. Just signing autographs in a booth and piling them up for people to grab.
Didn't look or talk to him. We were in the CEO of mps hometown so it looked kind of bad.
Joe daddy Stevenson was traveling as well and he was nice enough to show me his guillotine and different grips. He's 160lbs but squeezes like a heavy weight.
