Answer 11

Roger Moore in a first class carriage on a late afternoon train between Norwich and London years ago. Asked him what he thought of the other 'adventure' programmes like Jason King, etc. in the late sixties - early seventies...used to watch the Saint as a wee bairn, and felt the Bond films turned him into almost a joke. He smiled at that and told me 'Well...that's where I made the most dinero, son!' - he didn't say it at all conceitedly, and before I left him in peace (was getting off at Ipswich), asked him if Grace Jones tried it on with him in 'A View to A Kill'. Didn't catch his reply, and forgot to get his autograph for my mum...ah well - thought it was Mr. Moore, as his left eyebrow was continuously active.

Answer 13

To be honest with U I think that it's not a great matter weather U are meeting a famous person or not, because U may not feel or taste his or her fame just in a few seconds , U should try to feel it with experiencing and living for a while with his or her affords and sufferings till achieving the aimed goal !I think being in a temple does not make us a sacred being. Moreover, living in fame is different from watching famous people , the first is as if U are a driver for a very heart full and unique car, which obliges U to pay a very big attention to Ur time, speed ,accurate looking and way.Ur intention here is on how not to loose it , not how to enjoy it while U are driving.But the second is as if U don't have any thing to do for keeping or developing it , U are just enjoying it without holding any responsibility for this fame!

Answer 14

Matt Lucas lives a few streets down from me, and David Walliams and Robbie Williams live just round the corner too. I used to see Melanie Blatt walking her little girl to school every morning, and Angela Griffiths used to live round there too but think she's moved now. Liam gallagher & Kate Moss and that lot drink in one of the local pubs but none of us ever go in there cos its quite a quiet little pub where no one would bother them or anything. Id be too scared asking any of them for an autograph anyway!

So I guess Ive seen all these people, not the same as 'met'. I did meet 911 (rubbish english boyband years and years ago) and they were lovely. Simon Cowell \was in the lift at my old job because NBC shared the building with us but alas I didnt get to see him.

Answer 20

I worked in a bar and I lived in germany for a while. Partied with Joan Jett and the Black Hearts, Scorpions, Motley Crue came through - I think they let us (me and my friends) hang out with them because we were American. I've met Presidents Ford and Carter. Saw Dick Clark when in Virginia once, and Jenny Garth and her hubby when she was pregnant with their first child on an airplane. My favorite person though was George Dzundza. He's a character actor and was staying at a hotel I was working in part time. He was filming a picture in Kansas and was super cool. For the longest time I kept pestering him because I'd seen him before. Are you the policeman that helped me yesterday? Where do you work at? Are you the plumber that came over a couple of months ago? and so on. Because I'd seen him in loads of films, but didn't think of that. To me, he was a very familiar face. He was very cool.
