[Ulysses G.]

Saw actor Willem Dafoe in Bkk all lovey-dovey with a barely-legal Thai boy dressed in cut-offs and a tight white T-shirt.

I have nothing against our gay brothers and sisters, but please say it ain't so.

[Jimbob1]

I went to school in Oz with Malcolm and Angus Young from AC DC ....

I gave Little Patty an ice skating lesson

and sang backup vocals while at a BBQ with Paul Robby (The Platters ) singing Smoke Gets In Your Eyes ...

Very appropriate I thought

[batami]

Before I was reincarnated as a rabbit (that was two times back) I think I met Herny the VIII and his wives were not bad. I guess I misbehaved which is why I had to spend time as a rabbit just humping around for a while .....

I met Jerry Lewis by his Yacht in San Diego (about 15 years ago).

I met Magic Johnson, Cindy Crawford, Wayne Newton, and Buster Douglas at the first Tyson-Holyfield fight.

I went snorkeling with Marcus Camby in the Caribbean (when he was a Rookie for the Toronto Raptors).

I met Terry Bradshaw at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas.

I met Jay Leno backstage at one of his comedy shows in Las Vegas.

I shook Ron Jeremy's hand at a Party in Reno. Wee Man (the midget from Jackass) was at that same party being chased by someone.

(My father sat next to Don King, and Larry King on an airplane, [but it wasn't the same flight.])

My brother tells me stories all the time of the celebrities he has met in Las Vegas. He is good friends with TJ Laven (from the X-Games). My brother gave Paris Hilton a high five just the other day.

For those of you claiming to have been in contact with famous people, Please provide evidence in the form of pictures ore documents.

[Flatouthruthefog]

My father used to work as a stevedore for a furniture company in Manhattan. He met Jimmy Cagney and was friends with him. Does that count?

I'd say it counts 1,000%

What may be little known about this star is that he was a FANTASTIC song and dance man. His last personal appearance in UK was at the London Palladium for a nationwide Sunday night TV show.

He set the stage alight with "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy!" singing while leaping and dancing up and down on a balustrade like a teenager. He must have been in his mid 70's at the time and it's a piece of golden entertainment I'll never forget. Not only was the world still in black and white back then............

It was live TV and no-one (not even the BBC) made a recording!!! Aaaarrrgghhhhhh!!!!

Wish I could, but no snapper men around when I met:

Rowan 'Mr. Bean' Atkinson (loves driving big trucks as a hobby, but no good at 1 attempt in motorsport. Just as funny in 'real life', whatever that is. Not a big head).

Stirling (now Sir) Moss (nicer and nicer the older he gets & great after dinner speaker).

Juan Manual Fangio (shook hands with him at a reception in London a few years before he denounced Britain during the Falklands War - but he would say that wouldn't he? He was polite but bored stiff and seldom bothered to look at the people with whom he shook hands).

Jackie Stewart (sadly now also a Sir. Never stops talking, mainly about himself and his friend HM the Queen. If Jim Clark hadn't been taken from us we would have forgotten this prat long ago. Stewart couldn't even sniff Jim's exhaust pipes when they were on the same circuit).

Henry Cooper who turned to my (then) wife during the handshake and said "He's got a good right hand - so you're a lucky girl!" Nice line. Seemed like a genuinely nice man.

Seb Coe (highly intelligent and articulate, seemingly genuinely interested in other people). Part of his training involved running the 'wrong way' round the track to avoid damage to his back.

Good thread this. OK, everyone has 'off' days, but let's hear more about what these people are/were like..............

[SweatySock]

Had a beer with Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill (Simple Minds) in the Shelbourne hotel in Dublin a few years ago plus spoke to the guy Gene (can't remember his second name) who spoke the immortal line "Failure is not an option" during the Apollo 13 mission.

[SamuiJens]

Worked at the Fillmore, and met most the bands that played there.

[bulmercke]

Around 1995/1996 met Grahame Mallard (actor - Softly Softly) on a BKK to Pattaya tour bus. Got talking to him at the back of the bus - not knowing who he was. He was with his Thai girlfriend. Mentioned that he was the bulky officer in Softly Softly who was always seen in a white shirt with short sleeves behind the duty desk.

[my friend I]

I walked back into the hotel lobby, saw something going on in a side room. The woman on the door walked me in to an interview with Stevie Wonder. Luckily there were 3 others coz I couldn't think of much to say

[sweetchariot]

Did a duet with Midge Ure a few years ago (DVD available on request).

Met Joss Stone, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and the other one from Top Gear at a corporate do. (Clarkson really is as funny as he is on TV).

Played a few rounds of golf with Nigel Mansell, he bought the golf club a few miles up the road from me in Devon, just sold it to one of my Dad's old rugby mates. He was a bit boring though - bloody good golfer mind, played off 2 at the time.

[pampal]

I went to school with Jennifer Flavin(Model and Sylvester Stallone's wife), she used to copy off my tests.

Rudi Bakhtiar(Fox News) was my g/f for 2 years.

[BenDan]

Drank with Gonch from Grange Hill in an Irish Bar in Sydney - beat that!

[007]

like i said famous people i have met ,and where ?

I walked right next to then Chancellor of the Exchequer Norman Lamont in 1992's London, close to number 10. He was walking alone without any bodyguards or police escort towards the Treasury. I could have put a hand on his shoulder (or else)... I looked at him, he looked at me. Just one bobby 100 odd metres away...

Had some books signed by Israeli book author Ephraim Kishon in Frankfurt, Germany.

Also, worked at a school here in Bangkok, where nearby traffic stopped regularly in the afternoon, as the King was driven by. Couldn't see him though, due to the tinted glass.

[mrtoad]

Here's a few that I can remeber;

Seb Coe- Used to often have a beer with him on a Friday night a few years back when he was my local MP. Have to say I thought he was anice bloke, although not to keen on his political views at the time.

David Beckham - Old goldenballs was dating one the Physio students at my hospital. Nice enough bloke.

Alan Ball, Frank Worthington, Tony Kellow, Gerry Francis and numerous other footballers

Marcus Trescothick, Eldine Baptiste, Raul Lewis, Alan Mullaly and a few other cricketers.

Nick Faldo (Miserable <deleted>), Jasper Parnevik (Bonkers, but friendly), Vijay Singh, Sam Torrence and quite a few others when I was working at the B&H Open on the scoreboards a few years ago.

Lots of the cast from Casualty (long running British Hospital drama), as they used to do a bit of filming in and around our old hospital.

Also a fnumber of infamous people, including a well known singer currently residing in Vietnam.

Not to forget, I have met the original Chav
