The most famous person you've ever met?

Khabib, Jason Kidd, Dan Marino, and Jason Taylor. Khabib was the nicest. He legit talked about MMA with me for a good 15 minutes. Very fan friendly guy

Cool.
My fiance is from SoCal & went to Orange County High School of the Arts with a lot of famous people including Matt Morrison ( from GLEE ), Taryn Manning ( from ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK ) & a plethora of others that I just can't think of off the top of my head at the moment. One of her best friends though was Allison Mack ( of SMALLVILLE ). Who's more famous now for being indicted for being one of the leaders of an infamous sex cult last year. A cult that Allison tried like hell to get my fiance interested in joining a couple of years ago. Which really weirded my fiance out & caused her to cease all contact with her. Which really hurt her to have to do but she had no choice as Allie really got aggressive with her attempts to recruit her.
Also, while still at OCHSA, my fiance helped choreograph & worked as a back dancer on one of Britney Spears videos. But once she left high school she went into the medical field & eventually worked for both The Orange County Fight Doc & later, for the UFC as a PT/med tech. She was also
"Rampage" Jackson's personal physical therapist for a while too.

Had dinner and went out to a bar after for cocktails with Brett and Eric Lindros and Daniel Negreanu who are all buddies and grew up with a guy I used to do business with.

Nave regular dinners and outings with Ken Lakusta (on lef). Ex Canadian boxing champ who fought George Foreman and used to spar with Tyson.

Got to hang with Matt Sundin and the entire Leafs team, spouses and girlfriends at one of Matt's annual Team and Invited guests only closed Christmas parties he would host for the team each year at a local bar.

Cool.
Lakusta must be a hell of an interesting guy to talk to & hang out with. He was in with a who's who list of the heavyweight division of the '80s - '90s. And, he's one of the very few men on the planet who can say that they legitimately stung Foreman with that right hand that he landed during their fight which is an accomplishment in itself.
I fought on the undercard of Foreman's fight with Mark Young in Rochester, NY back in 1989 & shared a locker room with him. We had lunch together at a Ponderosa Steak House that afternoon.

When I was a little kid, I met Dirk Benedict a.k.a. Templeton Peck a.k.a Face from the A-Team while having breakfast at The Log Cabin in North Lake Tahoe. He signed a napkin for me. No big deal.

I was in Idaho for military training. We are in this CLS class (Combat Lifesaver School) and there was this turd who looked like Shia Labeouf. Kid had specialist rank on and he even had the Labeouf nametag. I kept cracking wise with shit like, "You left the transformers for THIS shit?" I was giving him all hell when all the sudden this dude next to me says. Dude. It really was him. The dude next to me was Brad Pitt.

Turns out they were attached to us training for Fury. I hung out with them for the rest of the week. Was surreal

Nice. You are this forums Forrest Gump of getting yourself in pics with famous people (meant that in the best way).

Yes Lakusta is full of stories. He is still in great shape today and like a piece of steel. I would not mess with him. His stories go back to his days as a bouncer with his brother (they were both top kick boxers prior) and dealing with the Russians and other criminal elements in Edmonton. HIs sparring and hanging out with Tyson. And some great stories re that Foreman fight.

Ken Lakusta is as close to a real life 'The Champ' character as could be. Most Canadians will know this reference

 
Mike Tyson
Meet also a buch of italian celebrities but no much sense list them here lol
Considering it's a fighting forum, i got the chance to meet Giorgio Petrosyan too

Well, Charlotte Rae may be more well known to the general public but something tells me that Sasha Grey's work is much more appreciated here on these forums.

Forrest Gump, huh? LOL.
I can't say that I've ever been compared to him before but since it's one of my fiance's favorite movies, I guess it's sort of cool.
As I said in an earlier post, I owe it all to my career as a fighter. I actually spent a couple of years in the pros without taking a camera with me when I met & worked with all these kinds of people but then when I came back home I'd tell folks about my experiences & some of them wouldn't believe me. So, from that point on I made sure that I always carried a camera & I'm so happy that I did because there's no way that I could remember all of them had I not done so. And, it'll be something to leave to my kids when I'm gone.

I forgot about Lakusta having been a kickboxer before becoming a boxer. That was back when quite a few Canadians did the same thing like Murray Sutherland, Ralph Hollett & others. All of them very tough, rugged guys.
Especially Lakusta who held the Canadian heavyweight title twice & mixed with Trevor Berbick, Foreman, Willie DeWitt, Razor Ruddock, Frank Bruno, Michael Dokes & Tommy Morrison. Taking Morrison the distance.
Hell, I'd love to spend a night drinking beer just talking to Lakusta about his adventures & misadventures as a bouncer. Those must have been wild.
Thanks for your reply, man.
Peace.

Sigh. That made me spit out my fucking coke. I'm never drinking again when i read godamn threads here.
 
I accidentally bumped into Leonardo DiCaprio at a Lakers game not once, but at two separate games. That was interesting. Dude likes to keep a low profile.

I have also met a lot of professional skaters because I was involved in the industry over a decade ago. Those were some fun times.

I met Bill Burr after a live show he had in town a little over 3 years ago.

A girl I was super close friends with in high school plays bass for Panic! At the Disco currently, too. Nicole Row is her name. Incredibly sweet girl that is funny as hell. She's cool.
 
John madden
Lebron james
Durant
Westbrook
A bunch of NBA kids.
Roy jones jr.
Holyfield
Mayweather
A few hockey players.
And a few famous actors that did voice work for us.
 
Dan Severn, I met him at a local MMA show, and he was an absolute gentleman!!. Very nice guy. I have met many fighters in MMA over the years, and Dan was the nicest by far, he is pure class.. the only way to describe him in person is a gentleman.

War Severn!!!!!!!!!!!!!
