Bill and his future (at that time) wife, Linda

For those who know something about American college football, Bill played in the Big Shootout (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969_Texas_vs._Arkansas_football_game), which is a well-known 1969 game between Arkansas (ranked #2) and the University of Texas (ranked #1). Texas barely won, 15-14, but they had to complete a pass on 4th & 3 in the 4th quarter to do it.

Went to church with Bill back in the 80's. :)

I wS in Manhattan playing poker for a month and I was sitting next to him two nights in the row at same table. I was the only guy who had no clue who he was and because he knew this as well he only talked to me the while time as if we're friends. Even asking me if he should continue playing after losing three times all in.
The next day the illegal cardroom in Manhattan was raided by police.

Far out. New York sounds more interesting than Melbourne.

Did they fix your sink?

[Proctor]

Hahahah, well it was at a college up in New Hampshire, well worth the drive I think. I don't believe in ghosts though, unless there arises scientific evidence to prove their existence I will abstain from holding any firm beliefs in them.

[armenianbodyhair]

A lot I will name them all specifically later.

[Vasconcelos]

Some local actors and journalists, but I don't care.

[Fear Fiain]

Nia Vardalos, Miley Cyrus, Ron Paul, Jim Gray, Mayor Garcetti, Jay Leno, Jason Lee, Douglas Pearse. Maybe a few others depending on your definitions of famous. And two who I can't mention because they're siblings and one is a close friend.

As a teenager and adult, I have met: former England rugby captain Martin Johnson; Welsh singer Aled Jones; Neighbours actors Alan Fletcher and Anne Charleston; Hollyoaks actress Gemma Bissix; the three main actresses from British sitcom Birds of a Feather; Welsh rugby players Gareth Thomas, Ryan Jones and Alun Wyn Jones; Welsh footballer Ashley Richards; Welsh rugby player-turned-commentator Jonathan Davies; English TV presenter Noel Edmonds. I also met two prominent MPs on separate occasions in a train - Chuka Ummuna, the Shadow Business Secretary; John Bercow, the Speaker of the House of Commons.

[Mazik]

My hometown has produced a lot of sportstars. 8 guys who attended either high school or elementary school with me now plays in the NHL or AHL, and some more are on the way there. A girl from my high school also got a silver medal in the last olympics.

I also once played mario party when I was a kid with a guy who is now some famous youtuber. His channel is called "Regular ordinary Swedish meal time".

[Gustave H]

Sean Penn when he was filming The Tree of Life in Houston, TX and Robin Williams (my uncle worked with him and I had dinner with him and his family a couple of times).

[Linebacker]

I've met a handful of Bulgarian celebs that you probably have never heard about but nobody from abroad.

My biggest regret is that I didn't steam over to the sea coast when The Expendables were filming there.I could have met all of them.

[Damião de Góis]

Met? I've never met any famous person personally, but i have seen several of them at close range on several situations.

[Longbowman]

I was in the local newspaper once.

[Kabul]

I didn't really "meet" him, but I saw Ahmed Dogan in Burgas when I walked by his sea-side property xD

[Armenian Bishop]

I've met many famous people, but it doesn't happen for me everyday. To name a few:

Elizabeth Einstein, the 2nd wife of Albert Einstein, at an unveiling event, for my brother's Einstein Sculpture.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Eisenstein

Michael Tilson Thomas, music director of San Francisco Symphony, when I drove him home after rehearsal.

The same here. My uncle (brother of my father) is quite a popular writer in Poland but it shouldn't count as he's my family member. I've seen many actors / singers / politicians etc. in person but never talked to them. More often than not it was ... in my everyday life - in public transport, on the street or in some ordinary store than at different kinds of events.

[Hong Key]

I have met/talk to Angelina Jolie, Monica Lewinsky, Milla Jovovich, Courtney Love, Ashley Hamilton (not that famous), Kareem Jihad Jabbar (he wouldn't sign an autograph for me), Randy Couture (but he signed a dvd for me) and Renee Zellweger (I lost her gay coybow husbands guitar).

I have seen Hulk Hogan, Heidi Klum, Rose Byrne, Punky Brewster chic, Lemmy from Motorhead, Garry Coleman (I would laugh uncontrollably ever time I saw him), Janice Dickinson (obnoxious), Sharon Stone (still pretty), Charlton Heston (did the eulogy at my Great GF funeral) and......

[Ouistreham]

A lot of famous people have had the honour of meeting me, including Mick Jagger and Marine Le Pen.

[oh-nahhh]

I didn't really "meet" him, but I saw Ahmed Dogan in Burgas when I walked by his sea-side property xDHave you also seen Ahmed al-Klaus?

[oh-nahhh]

I was in the local newspaper once.me too. you and me.

[Longbowman]

me too. you and me.

no you weren't there.

[oh-nahhh]

no you weren't there.
1. Why do you misinterpret my post on purpose.

2. How can you be sure I wasn't there.

This is actually an Addendum. I completely forgot that I met Andres Segovia in the audience at a performance by his friend and countryman, harpist, Nicanor Zabaleta. I was with a guitarist friend who recognised Segovia at a distance. We got to talk with him for a few minutes during Intermission.

[Longbowman]

1) for fun

2) you didn't grow up in my village

[Sodium]

I've met a shit ton of famous people working in the hospitality industry but my two favorites were Christopher Lee and Cheech Marin, both of which I had nice conversations with (both about golf). Roger Clemens used to call the restaurant I worked at and ask for me by name to let us know he was coming and he hooked me up with a bunch of perks (free cd's and stuff) from his pals in the entertainment industry.

[Piccolo]

I have met Hulk Hogan, Spike Lee, and Jane Goodall. I've met some local politicians in Chicago but I don't know if they would be considered famous, especially on an international board like this. I have also had a few quasi-encounters with famous people.

James Caan: I was with my family at the Mirage hotel and casino in Las Vegas and my grandmother spotted James Caan and started yelling "Sonny!" (the name of Caan's character in The Godfather). He gave her a dirty look and kept walking by. She then swore at him loudly.

Michael Jordan: I have seen him twice in pubic. Once at a high school basketball game where his son was playing. He had a whole section of the bleachers roped off for himself and his entourage. The other time was again at a Las Vegas casino and he was with a huge crew of men and women. I never approached Jordan because he is supposedly a big jerk in real life.

Finally, my aunt's sister was supposedly dating a drummer for the '80s band Survivor ("Eye of the Tiger" and all that). I met him once. He just looked like some balding middle-aged dude. I have no idea who he really was so I am not sure if my family was just messing with me by telling me he played drums for some '80s rock band.

[Rudel]

Jacques Chirac, François Hollande, Henri Guaino, Marine Le Pen, Florian Philippot... And a bunch of writers, journalists and whatnot.

[barbatus]

I met and spoke briefly with former Premier of Ontario Dalton McGuinty. Not too exciting unless you're into politics. I never liked the man anyways.

[Era]

Keanu Reeves

[JoeyGee8688]

My mom once saw Jesse Jackson in an airport many many years ago. I told her I wish she'd shot him.

Meeting politicians is often underwhelming. All of the ones I have met were pretty personable, put you can never know if it is just a façade or not. So much of their job is glad-handing and baby-kissing for good publicity.

[oh-nahhh]

you can never know if it is just a façade or not. Perhaps it's just an Atlantic facade!?

[Piccolo]

Perhaps it's just an Atlantic facade!?

LOL. Well, there are many Irish politicians in the United States!

[Neanderthal]

i used to train @ the same gym as canelo alvarez when he was a punk kid, oh, wait

[Armenian Bishop]

My Nephew Dylan, an eagle scout, is a student at Stanford University. As a teenager, in high school, he singlehandedly rescued a drowning middle aged man, in the San Francisco Bay, and resuscitated him with CPR. He received recognition in the local newspaper. At the 4th of July Parade, the Mayor of Alameda awarded him with an honorary title, for his heroic act.

[Squall Leonhart]

Obama came to my high school before and I saw him in Atlanta many times.

[Dick]

Wadaad. We shared chicken wings and a pitcher of beer once.

[BaderVader]

All of the players from Bayern Munich. A little advantage if you live next door to the training ground of the team.
