[waypoetic]

The guys from Dillinger Escape Plan.

As in hanging out, partying and random fuckery. Twice in one year. Love em.

 

[Naked Snake]

I can't think of anyone.

 

[Cryolemon]

Probably Rodney Mullen. Not super famous if you don't skateboard, but he's pretty much a skateboarding God.

He's one person who I would quite like to meet.

 

[kingwingin]

2 years ago me and some friends drove down to chicago and I went to see the guys from hardcore pawn chicago.

They were cool guys to talk to, kept calling everyone jagoffs lol

 

[TAJ]

It was tough to rank them, but probably Jim Carrey.

 

[Reverend Funk]

I met Tony Hawk and he signed my copy of tony hawks pro skater 2 it was pretty dope.

 

[Master Yoshi]

Glacier, Billy Kidman, Prince Iaukea. Universal Studios back in 98, I believe.

 

[ZackieChan]

Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, Howard Shore and Christopher Lee before TTT came out.
Avon Barksdale (Wood Harris) at LA courthouse.

 

[Shy]

I told Christiana Ricci, good luck on her new Pam Am show, which didn't work out so I guess I ruined her work.

that cause you're meant to say "break a leg" saying good luck is bad luck. lol

Worked with a lot of great comics over the past few years.

One of mine was at Universal. Fred Savage while he was doing The Wizard.

 

[BFIB]

I worked at a very large bank that also had a high profile comedy venue right by it. So I met quite a few comics after getting their payday.

Louis CK
Jeanine Garafolo
Bill Burr
Bob Saget
Greg Giraldo (RIP)
Pauly Shore-total dick

There's some others, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

 

[Jag]

I met Tony Hawk and he signed my copy of tony hawks pro skater 2 it was pretty dope.

Oh yeah. That reminds me that I rode a ski lift up with Sean White a few years ago in Park City. He was with this tall blonde chick on line for a three person lift. I was in the single line and paired up with them.

He was wearing a helmet and mask so I didn't know it was him when he leaned over and told me to take the next chair which kind of pissed me off. I said "no, this one is fine for me." Some guy then yelled out "Hey Sean!" and I saw the red curly hair and figured it out.

I rode the chair up with them anyway because I was annoyed he told me to take another one.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

that cause you're meant to say "break a leg" saying good luck is bad luck. lol

oh. If you're reading neogaf, I am sorry Christina Ricci.

 

[KingKiller]

George Perez, Rapper Machine Gun Kelly, and I had a dream that I was hanging out with this girl I had a crush on and Fritz Lang. I smoke way to much weed before bed.

 

[ChubbleDucks]

I gave the queen a red rose when I was 8yrs old. She came to open the new shopping centre where I used to live.

 

[Alcoremortis]

Hmm... if we're talking world famous, I'd probably go with either the pope or J.K. Rowling. Hard to rank them, I'm not sure which one more people know.

 

[deltatheta]

At first I didn't think I had ever met anyone famous, but now I remember I met Al Franken at the Minnesota State Fair once.

I gave the queen a red rose when I was 8yrs old. She came to open the new shopping centre where I used to live.

This was the Queen of England? She does shopping center ribbon cutting ceremonies?

 

[Renegade Yeti]

Wow , most famous person I've ever met is paul chuckle from the chuckle brothers....

 

[Daingurse]

I met Sommore, one of the Queens of Comedy. That's about it.

 

[The Technomancer]

I was at an awards dinner with Weird Al, that was pretty cool

 

[Makai]

I talked with the director of This Film Is Not Yet Rated.

Maybe not that famous. I don't even remember his name. :|

 

[easterislandhead]

Ghostface killah, Gza and U-god.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Most famous? Probably either Bruce Smith (NFL's all-time sack leader) or Faith Hill.

The coolest celebs I've met were the bands Mastodon and Opeth. Mikael Akerfeldt is such a nice, chill guy.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and Rob Cordry, Aziz Ansari and Rob Riggle at a festival. All very nice guys (I think Rob Cordry was kinda sketched out by my sleep deprived fandom).

 

[thomaser]

Shigeru Miyamoto. Can't think of any others. I've been in the same room as Iwata, though... and of Haruki Murakami.

Strange: All my most famous people are Japanese, and I'm Norwegian. I guess I've been pretty close to the Norwegian queen, and to some wintersports-stars, but "being close to" doesn't really count.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

I guess Bob Saget lol

 

[Abounder]

Jane Goodall. Book signing and spoke at my high school if that counts

 

[liliththepale]

Not sure if Lindsey Stirling is more famous than Jon Foreman at this point, but one of those two is my answer. Both backstage passes.

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

The dude who played frodo signed a $20 bill I had on me during mardi gras one time.

 

[kris.]

Patrick Stickles I guess? Does anyone even know who Titus Andronicus are?

Dammit, I'm boring.

Worked with a lot of great comics over the past few years.

Awesome great people!

DAMN. Jealous!

 

[mclem]

Tom Jones, I think. Happened to be on the same flight as us, and hung around as we disembarked to say hello to people.

Also Terry Pratchett, but signings make that rather easy!

A friend of mine has worked academically with Stephen Hawking.

 

[pashmilla]

Ellen MacArthur, on an organised sailing trip for pathetic cancer kids like myself. She was awesome.

 

[Chuckl3s]

I once smoked weed with Barry Weiss.

 

[Kaladin]

Shooter Jennings, son of Waylon Jennings and famous country / rock musician

Met him a couple of times, he would probably remember me if we met again.

 

[stn]

Used to play basketball with Drake before he became famous.

 

[Sobriquet]

Briefly spoke to Christopher Walken once at the old office building I use to work at. There's a record studio above the floor I worked at.

I saw him by the elevator and being star struck, i said, "you're Christopher Walken!"
He replies with "yeaa.. I am." Smelt the alcohol in his breathe. It was like 10 AM.

Yeah, he starts early. Drunk at 7am.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Robin Williams, Manny Paquiao, and Giant Bomb's Vinny Caravella and Dan Ryckert.

They were all taller than I expected.

 

[HalfwayOrb]

Probably Marilyn Manson.

 

[BareKnuckle]

Hideo Kojima and Yoji Shinkawa, Shinkawa drew a picture of my then girlfriend.

 

[CadetMahoney]

I can't think of anyone.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

A bunch of now famous directors.

 

[AlteredForms]

Also, I've been hit on by Kevin Spacey.

Are you sure it wasn't Jack Nicholson instead?

 

[CREMSteve]

Tony Danza and Alyssa Milano back in the Who's the Boss days.

Recently? Johnny Gaudreau.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

Nobody really.

I shook hands with the CEO of US Steel last week and Ariana Huffington was about 10 feet away from me where I work.

I've also said hi to Eric Cantor about a year ago.

 

[jerd]

I've met not one but two of my local weathermen

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and Shigeru Miyamoto are the top 3 for me.

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

I used to live in LA where there are famous people coming out the wazoo. Of course most of the people you meet are former stars or people that make you say "Hey, isn't that that guy from that thing?" So if you want to meet famous people, move to LA!

 

[Foxes]

I'm gonna define "met" as to speak to in person.

For me it would probably be meeting YA author Rick Riordan at an event when I was fifteen. Over the summer I got the chance to speak to Sufjan Stevens at a Q and A session, which was incredible. I'm not sure which of them is more famous.

I met Lou Ferrigno when I was ~15.

He's a big dude.

 

[Pacbois]

Hilary Swank. Used to work in a british bookshop in Paris, and she came by one day, she was really nice. Also met a lot of musicians at shows and festivals. I had a chat with Stuart Murdoch from Belle and Sebastian and had a drink with one the guys from disclosure recently. And have an autograph from Damon Albarn.
