Any funny or bizarre memories of meeting celebrities?

[Everhelpful]

I met Alan Shearer once,arrogant pain in the Yabbie.

[Everhelpful]

I once walked around a street corner smack into the middle of a scene being filmed for Kavanagh QC. John Thaw (all 4'11" of him) was extremely rude to me. I told him to eff off.

Should have given a slap around the kisser with a wet Mackerel mrs o.

No need tony. I looked down on him from my full height (psychological advantage point to me) and before I told him to eff off I did give him a few choice words of, ahem, my advice and wisdom.
I left him standing there with his mouth opening and closing but no sound coming out. Rude man.

I met Peter Armitage (Bill Webster Coronation St) in Hawes in the Yorkshire Dales. We had a bizarre conversation about the quality of butchers in the area.

Zacs, where abouts in the Dales did you meat him?

(I'll get my coat now)

[Zacs-Master]

Hawes.......pronounced......

[tonyav]

Hey stop horsing around mrs overthetop.

[Psybbo]

You were rude to the lovely John Thaw! You're off my Xmas list

[mrs_overall]

Sibs, there was nothing lovely about him!

I once got a "lock in" in a pub on the outskirts of Leeds. One of the other customers looked vaguely familiar. It was only when he picked up a guitar and started to sing did I realise it was Mark Knoffler

[Zacs-Master]

Which pub was that Mrs O?

[Svejk]

Met the Waterboys one night.
Really nice lads.

[erin-x]

I nearly ran over David Mach yesterday. I didn't meet him but I just thought i'd share lol!

[mrs_overall]

Zaks, I haven't a clue as I was extremely drunk and it was over 20 years ago. It was somewhere in the Holbeck area - the landlord was a mate of his

[tiggerblue10]

I know he's not a celebrity but I shook hands with Jack Straw when he was the Home Secretary many years ago. He came to where I worked and was being shown around. I could see him comeing towards me with a group of people and I was having an argument with an asylum seeker I was interviewing about the fact that I could not give him permission to work. He left seconds before JS came to my desk!

For some inexplicable reason I had a crush on Michael Elphick...must have been the motorbike.
On the way to Nottingham for a day out I knocked out my front tooth. Wandering around Nottingham with my mouth tightly closed for once I turned a corner and bumped.......bumped very hard...into Mr Elphick.
He picked me up and was charming.....really charming to this idiot who nodded and made squeaking noises through pursed lips.
Try saying...Please can I have your autograph....without opening your mouth.

[weecalf]

I met Tom Jones once I think he was impressed.Thats not unusual as most people are when they meet the weecalf

[Tizzi24]

Many, many years ago I met Adam Faith. He was lovely, but I was struck dumb with awe!! I was only a kid at the time.

I was in a lift with mike Tyson in Vegas. We both just stared at the doors and didn't say a word. I got the feeling he was a bit intimidated. ;-)
