The most famous person you've ever met?

[BillytheFish]

I saw Tara at a convention a few years ago. Completely killed my high school American Pie crush. You’re right, looked like she has aged a lot and went out to smoke every 20 min.

this was back in 2004, she was covered in spots and high/drunk as fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

 

[The Hash Slinging Slasher]

Buster Douglas at a boxing match
Ralph Stanley at a bluegrass concert

Cool, Ralph Stanley is one of the GOATS.

 

[Ikuza]

Michelle Kwan while I was working at Wherehouse music when I was in college

Helped Kadeem Hardison pick out anime dvds and figures as a fellow customer

Met Wesley Snipes at Venice Beach

Know a porn star who took over Pornhub's snapchat for a day.

 

[MASShole]

I've met:
Hillary Clinton
Al Gore
Neil Young
Pete Rose
David Ortiz
Will.I.Am
Snoop Dogg

And lots of others from various events/circumstances. Those are just the ones that pop into my head right now.

 

[moreorless87]

Don't think i'v ever directly met anyone famous, the closest would be...

My grandfather being golfing pals with Eddie Izzards father, seeing both at a distance.

Sitting right behind comedian Sean Hughes at Crystal Palace matches quite often in the late 90's

Johnny Vegas once browsing my photography in a market for a very brief period.

As far as gigantic black dudes go I've had dikembe mutumbo tap me on the shoulder and shake my hand while I was sitting down.



Very friendly man

 

[salamander]

Sidney Poitier: Super slick. Genteel and classy. it was the first time I truly comprehended the ultimate power of a tailor cut suit.

Matts Sundin: A bit reserved. Very polite and warm. Didn't realizes how big the dude is up close.

Curtis Joesph: Very cool. He was getting mobbed with his daughter at Second Cup and was as calm as can be. He asked me how tall I was.

Darren Dutchyshen: Came into Blockbuster Video in Newmarket. I gave him shit about all the curling coverage on TSN. It was just too much. He took it well, so I gave him a free rental.

Kiefier Sutherland: Eaton Centre Toronto.A galactic asshole. I wish someone would have spartan-kicked him down the escalator.

Jackie Chan: Toronto Film Festival. He clowned me because I was tall. I'm pretty sure he was drunk or high. He was fucking tiny but he seemed like one of those tiny high energy guys that make up with for their manlet-ism by virtue of having a high motor.

ate tacos with rapha mendes(cool)
talked to jared leto for 5mins about music(surprisingly cool)

 

[tmnpothead]

Frank Mir. He said I looked like Seth Rogen

 

[SammyPops]

Brief informal chat w/ Ashley Judd a couple of times in Franklin, TN circa 2006 is all I got.

Oh man, she was legit back in the day.

 

[rocketskates]

Lol. I saw her just a few years back so the degradation must’ve started sooner. She was charging like 100.00 for a pic and autograph.

 

[CoolB]

I met the legendary Kitty Wells a few times.

Met Sam Jackson at a club in Toronto.

Shook Dee Snyder's hand

Met Tobais Forge (lead singer of Ghost) in costume and out of costume.

There's probably a few more but can't remember.

 

[POWER2]

You looked like you would grow up to be a rapist.

Post of the Year.

I have a buddy who hooked up with her around 2005 and she had already started to fall off --- badly.

My dad took me to meet some of the Miami Dolphins the summer after their undefeated season. For some reason Ray Nitschke was traveling with them. I was super young and didn't realize what a legend he was. Got a pic with Csonka and Griese. Csonka was like that uncle who would roughhouse with you and then sneak you a sip of his beer. Griese was too impressed with himself to waste more than a few words on an unknown kid. Shula acted like he was campaigning for president and I remember my dad practically kissing his ass when he walked by, lol.

Met Hank Aaron the last year he played with the Braves and again years later when he worked in their front office. He was a childhood hero and one of the most humble men I've ever met. 100% class and dignity.

I've met and rolled with several fighters back in the day. Trained with Rich the summer between the Crow fight and his first Anderson camp. I rolled with him but his hand was recovering from surgery so we never sparred. Rolled with Hughes, Randy, some of the Tristar guys - met but never rolled with GSP. Rolled with teh Chris - serious wrestling skills. Met Shogun. Coolest ever was Bas. Fucking hysterical.

Kinda met Ven Halen when I was in high school. Alex was too wasted to communicate and Eddie sat in a corner by himself chain smoking and never said a word. David Lee Roth thought he was the funniest, coolest guy on the planet. He wasn't. I heard Michael Anthony was the coolest one but I didn't get to talk to him. I met Slash years later and he was the complete opposite of Roth. Very chill and non pretentious.

 

[Phr3121]

Paul Newman - actor.

...back in the 1980s when he was racing in Oklahoma and I was working for a newspaper. Nice guy, short, and no autographs.

Alec Baldwin is a trip because he likes to make fun of people making them out to be assholes on SNL and what not but I’ve heard nothing but stories about how big of an asshole that HE is.

 

[pookiyama]

Met the rapper Slug in San Francisco. Went well beyond out of his way to be nice to strangers and fans. Physically imposing as fuck too.

Met the chick who won the first season of America's top model at a Starbucks. Smallest head I've ever seen, and really didn't like that observation.

The guy from the all state commercials cut me in line at an airport.

Met Jeremy Stephens, Francisco River, and Ian McCall together. Rolled with Rivera and light sparred with Stephens. The light sparring was still pretty fucking hard. McCall invited me to watch the Condit vs Gsp fight with them later and I got to learn which fighters they thought were on the juice and who they preferred, Palmer or Arianny.

Andrea Pirlo

Yeah, Leto is one of those celebs that people can have either very cool encounters with or not so cool ones depending on the circumstances in which they meet him. I've met him twice now & he was very cool on both occasions. Once was after a Thirty Seconds To Mars concert & the other was before a concert. But, apparently, if you meet him on a film set he can be standoffish because he's a method actor & stays in character.
