no_brain_er Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 I don't know if this counts, but I used to be really close friends with the brother of Chloe Moretz, the girl who plays Mindy Macready/Hit-Girl in the movie Kick-Ass. The Moretz's used to live about twenty minutes from my house, and they went to my church for a really long time, so I played with her and her brothers every once in a while before they moved to California. So, in a way, I kinda knew her before she got famous. Other than that, I've got nothing.
MizSpencer21 Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 Famous People I’ve Met Met: David Copperfield James Taylor Ron Santo (Chicago Cubs Player) Rusty Wallace (Funny story, I was 7 or 8, and I walked up to him after he had finished his breakfast and was getting ready to leave at Bojangles Chicken and asked for his autograph. He looked me square in the eyes and told me to f**k off... Nice, huh? ) Hut Strickland (former NASCAR driver) Buckshot Jones (former NASCAR driver) Bobby Alison (NASCAR) Kyle Petty (NASCAR) Kate Gosselin (she was actually really nice!!!) Tamara Tunie (Soap opera star) Daphnie Reid (from Fresh Prince) Julie Johnson (voice of Baby Bop on “Barnie”) Earl and Dave Hebner (WWE Refs) Patton Oswalt Pat McGee Band John Fiedler (voice of Piglet) Rudy Boesch (original Survivor cast member) Pat Carol (voice of Ursula the Sea Witch from Disney’s The Little Mermaid) Original Broadway cast of The Full Monty Seen but not met: Bea Arthur (Golden Girls fame) Sarah Jessica Parker Sarah Palin Corbin Bleu (from High School Musical) Sammy Sosa (former Chicago Cubs player) There's probably more in there...

bspellx5 Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 Met Teresa Giudice from Real Housewives of New Jersey the other day in Paramus at a Book Signing. The one who flipped a table and recently filed for bankruptcy because her ridiculous overspending (for example - in the first episode, they showed her spending 120,000 dollars on furniture, and paying for all of it in cash) got her 11 million dollars in debt. She asked where I came from, I was like New York. Shes like Oh Wow, where abouts? I said Albany (Capital of NY State?). She gave me a blankstare and I awkwardly said after a few moments "upstate" which she seemed to understand..
biomegaceu Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 I met Nick Canon at Universal Studious Orlando about a month ago. I'm not a big fan so i wasn't too excited, but it was still cool to meet him. I also met John Gruden (former coach of the Tampa Bay bucs) at Busch Gardens Tampa a few years back.
Josh Linn Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 Was in the NBA Store in New York City a few months ago and saw the Human Highlight Film, Dominique Wilkins. Besides Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson, he was one of the best players in the 80's and early 90's...him and MJ had some epic dunk contest battles.
Manny In England Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Reginald D Hunter after one of his shows, he's souch an awesome guy. We were like the only people to pick up on some Pulp Fiction references he threw into his set as well.
Crazy_Behemoth_Lady_Jess Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Back in 2008, I met Dream Theater and Opeth at their concert. I only got my picure taken with Mike Portnoy of DT because he was having an autograph session at a nearby music store. Didn't get to talk to him much as there was a huge line of people waiting for autographs/photo ops. I also met Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth as he was just standing outside the theater next to the tourbus signing stuff and chatting with fans. Got to talk with him more than I did with Portnoy. Seen but not met, too many. Me and Portnoy. Me and Akerfeldt.
Band-Aid Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) Not too many... -Jeb Bush (Met him at the Florida Quarter ceremony when he was still governor) -Steven Anthony Lawrence (Even Stevens, he was signing autographs at Wild Adventures) -Eric Bloom (Blue Oyster Cult, after concert) -Rudy Sarzo (He was also signing autographs with BOC, since hes playing bass for them now) -Just about every driver on the Monster Jam circuit -Fall Out Boy (They were signing autographs at Darien Lake, before they became insanely popular) -Howie Dorough Edited August 11, 2010 by Band-Aid

stingrock23 Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Right now they're filming scenes for Memphis Beat in my parents' house. By the end of the day I'm hoping to get a picture with Jason Lee.
stingrock23 Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 And here is said picture. It was an interesting day, I've always been a fan of his. The Earl of Karma
BeemerBoy Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 ^ Cool! I would have asked him if that kid was still on the escalator.
dandaman Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Through a series of interesting circumstances, I hung out with Kenny Ryan of the Windsor Spitfires hockey team (currently at Leafs training camp for the upcoming season, was 50th-overall NHL draft pick last year) for a week up at our family friends' cottage. Awesome at wakeboarding, but I kicked his ass at Mario Kart 64. Awesome guy, and I'll definitely be watching the Leafs a lot more closely in 2010-11.
mightypotato Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 I've only met a few famous people in my time. Most notably are environmentalist David Suzuki (really really nice guy, btw) and Governor-General Designate of Canada David Johnston. David Johnston is the president of the university I attended, and I had many opportunities to meet and work with him during my four years there. Just like David Suzuki, he's a really nice, approachable guy. I've met a few smaller bands as well, like Priestess and Matt Mays + El Torpedo. I actually got to party on their tour bus after a concert. That was an interesting experience.
dandaman Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 ^ A few years ago we met Suzuki at a steakhouse, of all places. Like you said, really nice guy. My sister's an environmentalist so it was a real rock-star moment for her.
greatamerica1990sfan Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 The only celebrity encounter I have had was seeing Raquel Castro(the little girl who was in the movie Jersey Girl). She was in White Christmas when it was playing in San Francisco & she signed my program after the show since she was in the lobby. But the big two I want to meet some day are Leonardo DiCaprio & Andrea McArdle.
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 In Californioa, my family lived a mile from Tony Hawk's house. We saw him at the bagel shop quite often.
atem122 Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 I believe I saw this guy on a trail today www.imdb.com/name/nm0531095/ I'm not sure if it's him, but my teammates said that it was the guy from Ugly Betty, so yeah, I'm just not sure which guy.
skitt2010 Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Wow, this thread is old... lets start it up again!! Ive met: The Queen Dave Grohl A guy from Murderdolls (i didnt know who they were at the time, my friend introduced) Lee Evans
braztaz Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Will Smith. Kind of. Jennifer Garner I met in Colorado when she was filming her movie....uh..>Catch and Release...I think it was called. I watched them film a bunch of scenes and was an extra in a few.
megalyte Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Angelina Jolie. Steve Jobs (Stood right next to without knowing)
alilstronger Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Katherine Mcphee- She was very sweet and kind. Danity Kane - VERY sweet girls! Ceyanne Kimball (when she was solo now she is part of the country group Gloriana) - her mom was funny! Jump5 - it was their farewell tour - fun bunch of kids.
skitt2010 Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Not me personally, but a colleague got to watch them film Captain America in manchester... saw chris evans in full gear n everything. Awesome! Cant wait for the movie.
BeemerBoy Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Will Smith. Kind of. How do you "kind of" meet someone? You either do or you don't.
MeMeMe Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 You may not know these people, because they're mostly Canadian, but: -David Acker (he plays "Doubting Dave" on YTV's Mystery Hunters) -Jack Layton (Leader of NDP, the official opposition to the Tories of Canada) -Jennifer Seguin (she voices Caillou's mother on the kid's show Caillou) I've also met several other politicians and I've been in the same room as the Montreal Alouettes football team. So, not that many, not that famous.
