Any famous people you've either met or seen in the street?

[Ayutthaya11]

Me, nobody apart from Carl Chinn (historian and ambassador to brum) had to refrain from laughing when he walked into my work place and introduced himself to me. He looks about 7 ft on t.v, that was not the case but what a nice man he was. Also before you post I'm fully aware he isn't famous but well known in his areas of work.

[tifino]

missus, when working at the Ambassador on Sukumvit:

1. serviced a young Mimi Driver and Tom Cruise. She was apparently very friendly and chatty, but ol' fart Tom dragged Mimi off her - already the jealous control freak that he has become publicly famous for...

2. a very young Tom Hanks, who was I'm told the most polite man she had ever met...

that was all back in theperiod late 80's to '92

I saw Ian Brown in Liverpool airport, he was on the same flight as us flying out to Barcalona. Paul Weller in a caffe in Jersey and a couple of years ago bumped into John Barnes in Abu Dhabi airport. Oh almost forgot Prince Naseem Hamed shopping in Sheffield, but I'd rather forget about that <deleted>.

[Crazy chef 1]

Due of my job I would say many...but as SB cited naming as shaming....and I don't like to go the " my one is bigger..." way...

He was holidaying in the a Highlands of Scotland prior to going to the Balkans to distribute medicines for the poor.

[pgrahmm]

While I have been around and met a few it all boils down to "media celebrities" just another marketable commodity....then - on to the next

Markable whatever as long as it/they sell..nothing personal = it's all about the $$$$$ - now - move along.....there's money to be made....countries/continents/hemispheres make no difference.....and F U if you (or worse) if you get in the way

.....it's business.....

Too many to mention.

My most embarrassing was sitting next to Sean Penn on a flight from Sand Fran to LA.

We chatted a bit and said I really enjoyed his movies. He asked me my favorite and I went blank, and all I could think off was "Fast Times at Ridgemont High".

End of conversation.
