You made the thread, Zoom, so you were the one who wanted to get responses from the members. And you have the nerve to call them out because they participate in your thread?

Do not bait anyone else again, lest you get a warning from me.

I shook Jamie Fox's hand while I was at the NBA all star game several years ago, I'm about his height, but I noticed that he has much smaller hands than I do.

That same night I also met Bow Wow, it kind of freaked me out, but then again I was with my uncle, and he is usually around crowds of famous people. It's in his job detail.

That is cool. What were they like?

Moscow
Tyson was bummed out about something. He kept fidgeting around, too, like he was nervous about something. Jones was a talky person. He kept chatting about useless garbage and kept bragging about some of the hits he had made in his early career.

I wasn't really that pleased with checking out both, although it was weird checking them out on the same day

Welll this past weekend I was at Barnes and Noble here in N.Y.C.(on 66th st) while I was leaving, I saw Robin Williams enter with his wife...did not want to bother him at all.


A couple of months ago, I while walking past a japenese restaurant on Central park west, I saw Mr Spock himself Leonard Nimoy having dinner with his wife...man that totallly blew my mind.


I was shoulder to shoulder with Drew Barrymore at Virgin Records at union square....I am sure she would not mind if I had asked for her autograph but as I said, I dont like to harass.


The only two celebs that I have shook hands with is Patrick Stewart and Paul Sorvino and that's because when my aunt worked for the channel 4 news she introduced me to them.

Esomark
I met Temple Grandin at an autism conference and got her autograph.

Kelly_Bean
I forgot to add that Herman Li of Dragonforce walked about 15 feet in front of me at a concert. Right through the crowd too.

Mr. Rhythmic
Met Tom Baker. He was a bit of an ass, but hey, it's Tom Baker.

I've met Kirsten Dunst in my work lift for a minute or two.
she voiced how much she hated Tobey Maguire.

And I also met Sir Anthony Hopkins in the same lift...I was running one of his Premiers. I freaked out couldn't talk just mumbled something along the lines of Hey great work. He just smiled and turned to an organiser and said "What a lovely young man".

At a golf tournament I did a news story on as the videographer, I had a conversation with Justin Timberlake. I told Bill Murray he was the best guy, and he turned and smiled at me. I explained to Donald Trump why I was at the golf tourney and he looked at me like he was going to fire me. I handed Andy Garcia a Hieniken. Mark Wahlberg looked at me like "who the **** are you?" when I told him what I was doing. I gotta say, Justin Timberlake was the coolest guy. I always thought he was a duchebag until I met him, he was super cool. I also filmed George Lopez crowd surfing. This was all in the same day at the golf tourney.

I've met Clint Eastwood several times since I worked with his wife, Dina. Went to their house once for a story. I interviewed James Brown at the Monterey Jazz Fest. I interviewed Ian Zering, turned out to be a really cool guy as well. I interviewed Paul McCartney at the opening of Cirque De Soleil's 'LOVE,' in Las Vegas. I interviewed Michael Kane, Rosanne Barr (who gave me a fat hug.) I interviewed Rihanna by myself, thought I was going to melt she was so hot in person. Interviewed Don Cheatle... several others, can't really remember right now, but those were the biggest celebs I've met, or at least interviewed.

Tired-Hiker
Oh yeah, I met Julian McMahon when I PA'd a film he was in. He invited us to his 4th of July party where I went. He gave us a tour of his house. I had to pick up Lucas Haas and drive him to the set as well.

I'm not a celebrity worshipper in the least, but it would be fun to hear how close you or someone you know came to interacting with someone interesting and famous

Iv'e met Ryan giggs got his autograph smile

Upton O Goode
Paul McCartney came into work once, and his brother lives up the road so he's around quite a bit.

Kaibs
I've met and hung out with tons of bands and artists because of my job, but I dunno if that counts. Non music wise I hung out with Gary Sinese (Lt. Dan for those if you who don't know), Kimo Williams, Brian Urlacher, Patrick Roy (hockey camp), and Joe Sakic to name a few. I've got pretty lucky in meeting people over the years.

OH OH OH and when I was little I met the original Red Power Ranger. Which at the time was more exciting than I recall now lol.

Dr Mystery
Thinking about I've met too many to name through my job. The most impressive IMO was when I was at Alton Towers with school in 94 or 95. I never actually met them but I was stood about 15 feet from Princess Diana and Princes William and Harry.

congrats for shaking hands with a mass murderer. thumb up

The Dark Cloud
I met numerous celebrities, and athletes over the years as a former craps dealer at a high end Las Vegas casino. At first you are impressed and later you realize many of them, Michael jordan, Jennifer Lopez, Oscar De La Hoya, Diana Ross, Bruce Willis, Tony Danza, are assholes while some others, Dennis Rodman, Ben Afleck, Charles Barkley, Ozzy Osbourne, are super cool, and some others...Martin Sheen, Alyssa Milano, David Hasslehoff, Carmen Electra, are just there.

All in all the one I was most impressed with was Bill Gates.

Hey, I've done it twice, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, Though I was only 10 when I shook Nixons hand so you have to cut me some slack for it..

In elementary school, the little girl from "Practical Magic" with the red hair came to our school one day - I have no idea why as I was just ten, but I didn't really care too much.

On a trip to New York City for mission work our group was passing through the street in Times Square to go find a dinner place and we ran into Justin Timberlake and Joey Fatone Again, I wasn't very excited.

That same night went to the huge "Virgin" store and saw Kayne West on the "up" escalator when I was going down.

And when I went to see "Wicked" in Los Angeles at the Palladium Theatre Diane Keaton was there, in orchestra seating. My group was first row mezzanine. I recognized her and pointed her out because I saw what I thought was a man wearing a light suit and big floppy hat, but they turned profile and I could see her hair and glasses. That was pretty exciting, but just because I was the one who found her.

I've never freaked out when I see a celebrity. In fact I was more annoyed then happy when we saw Timberlake and Fatone, cause all the tweens wanted to stop and get their autographs, and I was all, "I'm hungry. Let's go! They're just normal people so don't bother them. "

Which is weird, because if it were Robin Williams or some people named up yonder I would have been in shock.

I shook his hand too. Not when he was in ireland though. I was a kid and didn't really understand why I was shaking his hand. He was really nice though.

I've also met Nick Lachey, Jason and Grant from Ghosthunters, Ian Somerhalder, Robert Pattinson, and my favorite, Angelina Jolie. I had her autograph my T-Shirt. I'll have to find it. It's boxed up in my mums attic.

I was like ten feet away from George Clooney at LAX a few years ago.
It was the highlight of my trip, as I went to LA for court on a stupid traffic ticket.

When me and my sister and dad went to see "How to Succeed in business without really trying" we were sitting five rows away from the stage from Daniel Radcliff and if the annoying lady who was incharge of the bus did not rush us on it to leave.We could had met him in person when he walked out of the back door to greet everybody.I am still mad about that!

Miss Fiend
Living in Toronto, ON I take the bus or streetcar with the actors from Degrassi the Next Generation on a regular basis. But, they're not a huge deal so usually me and my friends just look once and continue on.

Back in the day when i wanted to do acting i saw Kelsey Grammar at what used to be Costco. I talked with him in the parking lot. Also got to work at P. Diddy's 4th of July party in the hamptons where Mike Tyson, Mace, Lil' Kim was there. And i think i saw Jane Krakowski once waiting for a train (forgot which one) at the subway.

Scarlet315
Also me and my friend was going to 40 40's in the city and Jay Z walked past us. I couldn't say anything but my friend said what up and Jay responded. Also met that guy from Hangin with Mr. Cooper, not directly but i was close by and it was at some kind of event. Saw LL cool J twice, once when i was working in the movie theaters and at this church i went to.

I shook Jamie Fox's hand at an All Star Basketball Game in Phillie several years ago. He has very small hands, I almost felt like I was shaking a woman's hand... almost. Then again my ring finger is an 11.

Back then you probably had no idea you were shaking hands with Hitler.presidents in vice presidents,they dont get that high up unless they have committed crimes against humanity.most politicians are evil and Gore is no exception.

Saw that little dude, from the "Adams Family" and that stars in that TV show, "Numbers".

Saw him at Disneyland California Adventure circa 2005. He was a few feet away (10 or so)-- I stared at him while munching popcorn. He saw me and kept nervously glancing at me. He looked pretty paranoid and eventually quickly walked away. I kept staring at him and munching popcorn, while drinking beer. He was like 50 feet away when he glanced back, saw me, and looked at me for another couple seconds. I raised my cup to him and he just turned and walked away, even faster than before.
