I’ve met Barbara Streisand in her younger years when she was campaigning for Bella Abzug, who ran for mayor in the early 70’s. Or was it late 80’s? Can’t tell now. Barbara was on a little truck in the lower east side, and my brother asked her to sign his album but she didn’t. She did ask for a grape icy from a vendor and someone got her one.

I also saw a famous sports news reporter at a movie theater standing on line with his date. Handsome guy.
I graduated with a famous actor, Hector Guzman. He’s short and chubby, and has been in many films ( the last one I can think of was Gomez of the Adams Family movie. My brother found him in my yearbook years ago.

Sorry I meant late 70's or late 60's not 80's for Barbara Streisand, and that was in NYC on the lower east side of Manhattan.

I met the drummer (if i remember right) of an atlanta extreme metal band Prime Mover. Not crazy famous but have been ripping it since the 90s. It was a long time ago now but it was near Thanksgiving and i was in the grocery store. We came across each other and we commented on our band shirts we had on lol. We later happened to get stuck side by side in long lines at checkout, and got to talking about music n stuff and he was gonna gimme a CD from his band but didn't have any in his truck, so he just wrote down the band name and told me to check it out lol. Cool guy.

[TheRagingMetalhead]

Also WeeMan is awesome lol so cool you got to meet him

[AngryCarl3]

I voted no but then I remembered I've met Mark Williams. You may remember him from such roles as Arthur Weasley in the Harry Potter franchise.

Trivia: He was born a month after me.

Oh yes. One celebrity is first-cousins with a friend of mine, so I've met her and had dinner with her and we are friends on Facebook - the kind that actually talk to each other.

[abc3643]

Also, I've met some pro athletes (and am related to one who was in the MLB long ago). Finally, I met President Biden in 2009 when he was Vice President. I told him to run for President in 2016 and he said "We'll see." It's too bad he didn't run then, but his son had died in 2015, so the time was not right for him then.

[abc3643]

LOL... In certain circles, ___I___ am considered a celebrity (as a "super fan")!
In January 2009, I went to Saint Paul Minnesota to attend a game in the league that I am a super fan of (the National Lacrosse League). When local fans knew I was coming, they wanted to meet me and even one wanted me to give him my autograph.

That’s such a fun one 😂 Wee Man seems exactly like the type to be super chill in person.

I’ve randomly met a few people at film festivals and concerts. Bumped into Tilda Swinton at a small art screening and she was unbelievably kind and ethereal, like she just floats around. Also saw Keanu Reeves at a festival once and he’s genuinely as low‑key and sweet as everyone says 😅

[Stormy_Moon]

i met brooke monk. she's actually a friend of my friend. and she's my look alike!

[RedInnocent69]

[SaoirseS]

Yes, I met Stephen Sondheim when I was a young girl.


I had the misfortune of meeting Blake Shelton - he’s the poster child for obnoxious asshole.

[MrChinaski]

I mean, I've briefed Australian Prime Ministers, if that counts. Met a couple of sportspeople. Nothing that excited me.

[MrChinaski]

A girlfriend had worked in music promotion, events management, communications... she had met a lot of people... apart from some cool photos, I didn't get the impression famous people were any different than not famous people when they aren't performing.

[queenofcardio]
