As for me, most of the famous people I've met are like, quasi celebrities at best, also, does skype and emailing count as meeting?

I remember thinking, "why is this guy taking so long" and then sort of realizing he was someone famous. I think the guy told me who he was, or we saw him on TV soon after and I recognized him.

I was at university when she opened the newly built library and I was one of the students chosen to meet her.

I've also met Prince William as well when he was at St Andrews university as he used to go to the same cinema as me. Well when I say "met" him I actually mean sat next to him at the cinema....And when I say sat next to him I mean there was an bodyguard between him and me.

Oh ya, I forgot. I had the same thing happen in an airport. I was sitting, waiting to get on a plain, and Angus Young and his bodyguard set next to me. I didn't say anything because I wanted to respect his privacy.

I saw Dustin Hoffman at LAX about 10 years ago.

Saw the wrestler Triple H and Chyna at another airport in New York.

I lived next door to George Latka, who is an old time boxer who is in the boxing hall of fame. Taught me how to punch when I was little. RIP.

When I was working at Blockbuster I checked out the drummer for Korn.

When I was younger I trick or treated at the house of the lead singer of The Offspring. He answered the door and gave us snickers bars.

And I think I saw the pornstar Jenna Haze in her car some years back when I was driving. I know she lives around here so it's possible, but I'm not sure if it was her.

I went to a Yankee game and then ate dinner with Bobby Valentine at his house once too.
