What celebrities have you ever come across on the street?

It is not valid to have gone to a concert or book signing or professional event of the famous but a casual meeting in the street or any other public place.

Whoever wants to can tell his anecdote or what was his impression.

If you can publish the photo of the celebrity because they may be national or even international celebrities sometimes by name we do not remember who they may be.Thank you!!!

The most recent was William and Kate in Dublin, Temple Barr. Then we saw them again in Kilmainham later in the day. Maybe they were staying there as well or close to kilmainham.

Donald Rumsfeld at Washington Airport in late 2010, he was just rushing by with four bodyguards.
Other than that just some gun-stuff related youtubers who don't qualify as celebrities on this forum and local Austrian "stars".

Celebrities are a social construct.

Was in a shop with Pierce Brosnan before lockdown. The shop was the size of a living room and it was only my girlfriend, Brosnan, two shop assistants and I. Didn't even recogonise him until the person at the till talked about it when he left. :lol:

He was filming in Edinburgh for that Eurovision film, and had a beard for that one.

I had just parked on the street and when I came down I saw Jeremy Irons going up the same sidewalk, it was the same as going to the movies, I say this because sometimes there are celebrities who naturally change.

If you can publish the photo of the celebrity because they may be national or even international celebrities sometimes by name we do not remember who they may be.Thanks!

It's decent that they use their status to support good causes, particually mental health.

They seemed nice I would dare say, down to earth. The crowd dispersed fast and we got finally to our favourite place :D

Probably too many remember including female super models. It is like that in Manhattan. Anyway, I'm overweight now but I have been in extremely good shape many times in my live and I'm about 6 foot tall giving me , at times, a model appearance. So, I'm walking down 5th avenue , in Manhattan, in order to buy an expensive pair of dress shoes i.e. a pair of Allen Edmonds -- I was looking extremely GQ and I swear to god a super model Miranda Kerr starts crossing the street illegally towards me but me being too cool for that I kept on walking ignoring her. I remember this one because most celebrities while I might have passed them on the street did not try to walk towards me except maybe a few other female models I don't know their names but it was not quite as blatant as the one I described in detail. At least I think it was Miranda Kerr I can't be sure there tons of models all over manhattan man : :

The only top model I've come across two palms down the street was Cristina Piaget, I made a gesture to check that it was her and she opened her nostrils taking a lot of air, I said: bay

I saw Sancho Gracia, drinking with some friends in Vale do Lobo (Algarve, Portugal), surely you don´t need a photo of him because you already know who was.;)

The list of politicians, especially nationals that I have seen would be endless, but none of them have any special talents for which they deserve to be remembered.

The thread is already from all over the world and of course national celebrities are not always known abroad and vice versa or maybe by name not so much but by image something else,, hence the demand for photography.

I was looking for a cheap place to have dinner and there on the sidewalk standing next to a girl stuck to the buildings was El potro de Vallecas. I passed by him and the girl, he was already looking at me before I got to his height and he did not stop until I passed him there was a current of sympathy.

I walked a few more minutes, went back and finally decided on a place, went in, sat down and at the parallel table was curiously El potro de Vallecas and his girlfriend.

My wife's parents live in Los Angeles, they are located approxiamatly 15 minutes by car from Hollywood.
When we go to stay with them we usually spend some time hanging out in Hollywood and nearby areas like Beverly Hills. My current Avatar pic was taken in Beverly Hills.
One time in Hollywood we were walking around taking some photos we were taking the photo which is the last one in my signature below it has the shopfront behind me that says Fuk u. As we took that photo about 1 metre away from us was this guy getting out of his parked Jaguar. He starts walking in our direction and as he walks past he lifts up his sunglasses and winks at us as we were taking that photo. In that moment we realised he was Jimmy Page from Led Zepplin.

Another time in Hollywood someone pulled up beside us in a sportscar to ask directions , I believe it was UFC star Jon Jones.

On a visit to Las Vegas while checking out different casino's I saw a few different UFC fighters walking around , cant recall their names now.

When I was in Vienna Austria 2008 I personally met shook hands and spoke with the Austrian minister for tourism. Met him at a Dr's office waiting room and was introduced by the Dr I was seeing.

Tony Danza is really friendly and I can tell he was never a good actor. That performance he had on Who's The Boss wasn't even acting. He's just like that in real life LMAO. He was often trying to make laugh when visiting. It's been a while I don't see him. I stopped working at the studios in 2006. Go figure.

Met boxing great Roy Jones Jr and also boxing commentator Max Kellerman. Jim Lampley was nearby too, but I did not get a chance to meet him.

This was all after a fight that I saw live, Kovalev vs. Hopkins.

I am not surprised you said that, Adkins gives really cool vibes and seems to be a likeable guy. I tune every once in a while to see if there is any new movie in which he is starring.

He is I guess friends with this Croatian guy. May came for a visit.

I met the Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa. He signed me an autograph. It was in Spain.

My mom met Venezuelan actress Lupita Ferrer (most people on here won't know who is her, but users from Spanish speaking countries would know) many years ago, in a flight from US to Venezuela. I wasn't born yet, and my mom was very young, and she was with my elder brother when he was a little, and when Lupita Ferrer was passing by (she was going to the restroom of the airplane), she saw my mom with my brother and said things like "what a beautiful kid", and bla bla bla
