I've met and chatted with Paul Weller a couple of times

I knew a famous gospel singer and two televised pastors from church. I also have a cousin and a family friend who used to work as network talk show hosts in china. Two of my church friends have worked as professional gospel singers who turn over a new cd every year or so. I also met a former basketball player through church and I have met the winner of a major beauty pageant cause she went to my church. I also befriended the daughter of one of the richest men in Canada, his family are billionaires and I used to go to birthday parties at his daughter's cottage in high school.

What passes as famous? I have met many musicians.

Care to name a couple I will have heard of

I have talked to Alice Cooper twice. He is probably the most famous one. Seeing Glenn Hughes (ex Deep Purple) this weekend. I will hope to say hello to him if I can.

Four sitting U. S. Presidents. President Jacques Chirac. One of the English prince's... never really remembered which is which. Not the one that married Kate Middleton (unfortunately). About a dozen members of the Saudi royal family. Method Man on the phone once. Sisqo. Sammy Hagar. I don't watch TV so possibly more that I didn't recognize.

Most have been primarily related to work except for a few musicians. Best conversations were with Buck Dharma of BOC (super nice guy) and Russ Ballard (lead guitar and a vocalist for Argent, solo artist, and a prolific songwriter). Oh, and Doyle Dykes is also a super nice person.

I once had the pleasure of meeting Tilda Swinton at a film festival. We had a brief conversation about her role in "Only Lovers Left Alive," which I absolutely adored. Her artistic vision and versatility as an actress are truly inspiring. Meeting her was an incredible experience! 🎬✨

I have met in total three members of two different german punk bands. I have met all of the members but had a conversation with two from one band and a long one with one from the other band. These where two different occassions. Not sure how famous they are outside germany though.

Outside of this not really. I mean I wouldn't count mayors, city councilers or even federal country politicians famous nor celebrities really. If they for some reason would count than yes a lot and often.

@CubaPirate

I wouldn't call them terribly famous or that well known:

Sir Ranulph Fiennes... One of the world's greatest living explorers.

Sir Chris Bonington... World famous mountaineer.

Sir Richard Branson... The Virgin Group of Companies founder.

Leo Dickinson... British cameraman, adventurer and first person ever to hot air balloon over Mount Everest.

Chris Ryan... Ex SAS (Bravo Two Zero) and author.

Yes, a few times.

I've even spoken with President Biden when he was Vice President in 2009.

[Flower7]

How did you get to meet the vice president?

[abc3643]

@Flower7 He was on tour promoting the Obama Administration's plans to get us out of The Great Recession. After the talk, he met with people.

[Flower7]

Cool. I've been to a talk by Bill Clinton. I didn't get to actually talk to him though. I was just in the audience.

[TheRealPepperPotts]

They are fantastic, talented and kind people.

Mark Harmon came in my store once. I repaired his leather jacket and he came in person to pick it up. He thought we dida good job. Too bad there were no celll phones back then
