What famous celebrities have you seen in the real world?

[Mowgli37]

I met Richard E Grant outside the Apollo Theatre last year, Stan Collymore at the Amex on Monday and John Bishop outside a Greggs in Chichester.

Do you work at Job Centre + ?

Radio station. I suspect that the first group there are probably in the job centre otherwise anyway!

Was on the same plane Washington-Baltimore with Demi Moore about 20 years ago. She remains the most beautiful woman I have ever seen

For different reasons I / we have had the good fortune to meet quite a few so called celebrity's over the years, probably the most memorable was Emlyn Hughes, just he my wife and myself went drinking in some local pubs one night after we met him in a local hotel we used to drink in and he was staying at (he had retired from football by then)

Really nice guy, very down to earth and as famous as he was he had absolutely no "airs or graces" about him whatsoever, and he gave time to everyone who came up to him asking for autographs.

A year later he came back to the same hotel (he was involved in sports training project for kids schools ect) we did know he was coming and fair play he came straight over to us and even remembered our names, really nice guy.

Sadly no longer with us.

 

[Ken Livingstone Seagull]

I may have mentioned before my lunch with the lovely Susanna Hoffs (Bangles).
Chit chat at a New York venue with Howard Jones ("What Is Love" era)
Bobby Zamora (Withers/hospitality)

But the clincher, my all-time claim to fame: BBC radio and TV personality Corbett Woodall, circa 1965 at the Datchet fete. My autograph book of the time has him next to Rodney Marsh, the Morgan brothers, Mark Lazarus and the rest of the QPR lineup of that era. I defy anyone to top that. I mean, Corbett Woodall, ffs...

Was on the dodgems with michaela strachan down peter pans years ago. Bumped into sally gunnell in some shop in brighton. Went on hol to lanzarote in January 2001 and the man city team were staying there on a winter break when Joe royle was manager. Shook hands with Alan partridge when i saw him at the dome and went to see nina conti last year and she got me up on stage - i had to climb into a six foot puppet and do press ups on top of her. Easiest press ups I've ever done.

One for the older generation
A hundred years ago(just feels like it) while having a drink before seeing 'Barnum' at the Palladium we chatted to Dickie Henderson who was having a fag and some 'Dutch Courage' before going on at another theatre.

Bob Marley and the Wailers in 1980...3 of his sons since....Damian, Stephen and Ky-mani....

Hearing Stephen on stage is almost like hearing Bob.
