I live in a small city about 30 minutes away from Los Angeles, and I've met MANY celebrities. I can't remember all of them, but these are the most notable: In elementary school, a few Lakers came to my school because of a reading contest (someone mentioned that already). I've met Derek Hough from Dancing with the Stars, Snoop Dogg, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and a few Disney stars at an LA Kings game, Jordin Sparks and Alfonso Ribiero at a dance show, and I had a meet and greet with the LA Dodgers. I've also seen Kendall Jenner and Tyler the Creator outside of a Supreme store in Fairfax, and then saw Tyler AGAIN at his pop-up shop. This weekend I ran into 2 members of the band BROCKHAMPTON at the melrose farmer's market and was sat next to Ashton Irwin of 5 Seconds of Summer at a concert. Very lucky girl!! (:
As a 90s baby, I was freaking crazy about High School Musical back in the day. I was at my local town centre when a massive double decker bus with a massive picture on it of the High School Musical cover (the one of the original movie where they are all jumping). At the top I saw about see two women sitting down. It was sunny as well so I just saw black figures tbh.
Anyway when HSM the concert came out they showed them going on tour around the UK. And when I watched it and recognised that bus I had to take a while to take it all in. These guys were my heroes back then. Especially Vanessa Hudgens. And I'm I am certain it was her and Ashley I saw on the double decker.
Anyway sorry for the long story. I didn't actually meet them but it was just something I remembered.
Yes I have. Tiny Tim, Hulk Hogan, The band WASP, Dick Contino, George Burns, The main cast of Happy Days, Bob Reitman, Ivan Putski, Jesse "The Body" Ventura, Superstar Billy Graham. Tim Conway, Bob Barker, John Belushi
There are more I am a big autograph hound. I also have a few photos of some of them. Now if you think I meet all these in day your nuts. This is over a lifetime. I started collecting when I was 8 and Tiny Tim was my first.
Yes I met Mick Foley.

I've met plenty of "small scale" famous people. By that I mean people that are only famous in Finland. This isn't a big country so that really isn't that uncommon, especially because I live in the Helsinki metropolitan area. I haven't met anyone who would be considered famous on the world scale.
I've randomly been in the vicinity of King Carl of Sweden and Queen Silvia along with Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla in Stockholm but I wouldn't consider that actually meeting them since they just walked by and there were hundreds of people there.
Yes. Just recently. My father took my brother and I to see Eddie Money concert.
We had front row seats. Eddie was so fun and happy and his grown kids playing in the band with him were soo nice. I got to meet Jesse Money, who was so nice she hugged me and shook my hand 🙂.
Here is the question I posted and pictures:
It’s Friday. Did anyone get TWO TICKETS TO PARADISE? ↗
Many. Drew Barrymore, Arnold Swarzenegger, Kevin Spacey, Bruce Willis, Dermot Mulroney, Scott Wolf, The band REM, The Band Aerosmith all together and individually on separate occasions, Several PGA golfers, Alphonso (Carlton) Ribeiro, A few famous authors, Some Boston Bruins players, Some Boston Red Sox players, Several New England Patriots, Members of Bruce Springsteen's band, Olympic speed skating champion Eric Flaim, a couple US Senators And more I just can't remember right now. and many I just bump into on the streets too
I met Patrick Stewart. I was working for Tower Records. They needed help doing inventory in the Hollywood store. I was at the classical annex, and he walked right in. At one point I forgot his name, so I called out, "Eh, Captain!" and he responded. He was super cool.
I met several astronauts, though none of them except one would be considered famous. I attended lots of conventions in Pasadena (home of Caltech and NASA's JPL) where I've met Story Musgrave, who collects advanced degrees like Pokémon cards. I met Buzz Aldrin. I attended a lecture at Northrop University featuring John Young. And I once sold a leather jacket to Dave Scott while I was working at JC Penney's. He paid using a NASA credit union VISA. It featured a picture of him saluted the U. S. flag on the moon. He was very surprised I recognized his name (I happened to be reading Andrew Chakin's Man on the Moon at the time).
Way too many to count. All athletes, but before they were as famous as they are now. Eddie George was my classmate at Ohio St, the year he won the Heisman. Him and my roommate Alex had a few classes together also, so he came over to our apt to study a few times. A really nice guy. So is Marcellus Wiley. And Terrell Brandon. And Terrence Ross. And Andre Ward. And Terry Glenn (though he passed last year, sadly). All class act guys in person. Another one who got a bad rap that was ANYTHING BUT what the media portrayed him to be in person? Randy Moss.
Wrestling people but to me it was amazing people I was in a lockeroom with Superfly Jimmy Snuka, Samu from the Samoan Swat Team/Headshrinkers, Moolah and Mae Young I used to roll with the Haas Brothers Charlie and Russ years before Charlie Haas was on TV for WWE also The Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels before he got as famous. Gillberg was in the back with me Lowki put me on his shoulders and did squats with me on top of him lol I ran into Crowbar from WCW in the bathroom at the ECW arena before also most of you probably don't know who any of these guys are but for wrestling fans I am sure you can appreciate this.
Several but I never gave a shit. Treated em like any other regular person. Also I am really bad with names sooo XD.
Gwen stafani, that green chick from guardians of the galaxy, the captain America dude, the scarlet witch chick, Vanessa hugens, Sylvester stalone, Hilary duff, magic Johnson, Ariana grande, xD. And several others that were mostly on lifetime or somethin.
I had a classmate who is a child/minor actress and she also got national award for a film (it's interesting to watch her grow to become a better actress overtime). We were new students in the same school and same class together so for the first weeks we used to hang out a lot. But we were never really close friends. We still keep touch online.
I saw another of our country's well-known actor in the airport. He's been in some of my favorite movies.
Also met China's former Vice Premier Liu Yandong when she visited Bangladesh. Not a celebrity but still. Some Bengali students who knew Mandarin were chosen to visit her and I happened to be one of them.
A very famous singer in our country lives in the same apartment building where my sister does and when I went there one day I saw him leaving the house.
That's pretty much it.
I have met several famous people. Mostly through politics.
I met Kerry Washington once. She was super sweet and down to earth. Really tiny.
You know who else was tiny? Kevin Hart. I met him at a McDonalds win Michigan. He was posing for pictures with some little kids while he was eating. It was all kind of adorable.
I have met Bradley Whitford. He has very white teeth and is a relaxed guy.
I have met Chris Matthews. He is kind of arrogant but his love for politics and history oozes out of him.
I have also met Joy Ann Reid from MSNBC. I despise her show, I despise her bashing Bernie Sanders supporters. However, when you meet her in person she is actually pleasant and a very nice person. She acts as if you should know that she's doing it for the money and "no harm no foul. Just business".
Yes. I met former Congressman Dennis Kucinich and his wife years back when they came to bowl at our local bowling alley. I also met Bob Harper from Biggest Loser when the show came to film at our gym. And I chatted all summer long one year with Ariana on an old site, and yes she was the real deal because she sent me a photo of her holding up a piece of paper with both our usernames on it.
Yea, on several occasions. The times I can recall at the top of my head are:
About 2 weeks ago I randomly bumped into Sam Smith at a concert in LA for Maggie Smith.
Kobe Bryant and a few other Lakers showed up at my school after a reading contest and we had a meet and greet session with them.
I’ve been in line behind Lisa Leslie at a Gap Outlet in Primm, NV.
I’ve seen Jerry West, Al Roker, Laurence Fishburne, the LA Galaxy soccer team, and Verne Troyer at the airport at different times.
In Vegas I saw (and then ran terrified from) Carrot Top at the mall. I was a kid and he’s insanely ripped.
Nope, and I probably never will. I don't know if I care to or not. But either way, I will be content with myself as long as I keep myself happy. They are people, just like the rest of us. Some good, some bad. I hope if I do meet one, it will be a good one - at least someone on their good day.
Yes. Many. They're just people. We all put our pants on one leg at a time. Celebrities are no different. When I meet famous individuals, I treat them the same as anyone else. Something I've been informed most of the famous persons I've met have been grayeful for. If I'm around a famous person, I see only a fellow human being. They rarely get that. Usually it's the usual routine... autographs, starstruck fanatics, fan boys and fan girls, etc... when you exist in a bubble of artifice, honesty and dignity are very hard to find. Folks, as an entertainer myself, I get it. After a point, accolades and adulation bores the fuck out of you. You strive for grasp of what's real because many people are in cahoots to keep you in the dark with blinders on.
I had David miliband as a teacher in my school after he stepped down from high level politics. He was the foreign minister of the UK.
Went to the same school as Ndubz. Did not meet them.
My current CEO is Ralph speth, met him, he knows me.
My dad knows Jeremy Corbyn personally, he is the leader of the opposition.
Also a few smaller less personal meets elsewhere
My brother and I were going to school one day. As we walked down towards the Tube station, I looked over to the other side of the road, and I saw Ozzy Osborne, Justin Timberlake and Tom Jones standing together.
I did a double take. I’m 200% sure it was them and not lookalikes.
Didn’t go over to see them, though.
matthew mcconaughey at the W hotel in Dallas right after he finished the Dallas Buyers Club. I didn't even recognize the guy he was so skinny. He made a toast at the bar... that is when everyone was like wow.. . it is him!
I saw Ronan Keating in a supermarket with his family in Australia and had a conversation in the cheese section with his wife lol..
Also met Beyonce (shes actually a friend...) and I used to live under her mothers place too
I met Diane Keaton briefly once, I hung out with Alexandra Shipp a little bit one weekend, and I don’t know if she counts as a celebrity, but I met Congresswoman Katie Hill one time too. I also sat across from Jason Derulo on a flight.
That's neat to meet Shania...
I talked to the drummer for Whitesnake online long ago.
I met Brutus Buckeye in an airport (mascot). Good guy, didn't say a word, but very positive. Didn't have any buckeyes to hand out though:(
I went school and played out with a famous singer/actor growing up and I met a ex world champion boxer at a family party and I nearly got ran over by a australian actor. I've seen lots of famous before but never actually met many besides these.
