Dmaxdan Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I met George Harrison at a historic motor racing meeting in England. It was only about a year before his death and he didn't look well. We did get is autograph, but we asked him to sign it on behalf of a friend who is a huge Beatles fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuamRudy Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Glastonbury, '94 or '95 while waiting for Blur to come on stage, a short, reddish haired guy appeared before me in the crowd, maybe about 2m away. Our eyes locked for some reason and I recognised him as Thom Yorke from the, then, lesser known Radiohead. Someone behind me shouted 'Oi, it's the 'head! Let's bottle him' and he disappeared into the throng... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She didn't want to bother him and I certainly didn't care. Maybe it was because it was a temple, but the Thais didn't really bother him.

bannork Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I met Princess Anne's Bentley on a street in Hull back in 72 and nearly got killed for it. The police had closed the road waiting for her motorcade to pass, but being young and reckless, I made a dash for it across the road, just missing her front bumper. There were a few gasps from the crowd and a policeman wagged his finger at me but luckily I was safe. Princess Anne was famous in those days for her sharp tongue, she once told some reporters to 'naff off!' What a great high-so expression! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) I had a 10 minute chat with John Malkovitch on the street in Manhattan (I'm a big fan). Yes he was actually cool enough to talk with me but I actually had something to say to him (more than a fan slobber). Does that count?

Also met Norman Tebbit - in the cafe in Norwich railway station Prince Philip - asked me a couple of questions while giving me my Duke of Edinburgh's award Dave Allen - I was walking down Kensington High Street with a group of friends and we spotted him and chatted to him for a while.
