To ask what do you say when you meet a celebrity?

[Mollymoo78]

I feel like the only person who has never met a famous person and I wouldn't know what to say if I did!!

Tiggeryoubastard- too bad if you feel put down- is that what I've done?

Some nice stories here.

I did compliment David Walliams on his dog while he was out walking it. Very cute terrier, didn't realise who his owner was until DH pointed out who I'd just spoken to. Very nice, unassuming guy. Sadly he then walked away past a group of lads who started shouting abuse at him Actually felt sorry for him as he'd clearly just popped out for a walk.

Haha, absolutely not. Just a little sorry for you and bemused.

Someone feeling the need to pretend and tell others off for something harmless or that they're not even doing isn't likely to put someone down. You need to try harder if that was your sad way to build yourself up.

Once spent 30 mins chatting to celeb footballer at kids party thinking he was DS's classmates dad. In my defence CF and CD had same surname; CF was there because he was friend of birthday boys dad from way back and was staying with them.

How do you know they're pretending You're just guessing really let's face it. Don't think there's anything positive to come out of calling someone a liar when you can't prove otherwise

Tiggeryoubastard There's really no need for all the ''razzmatazz'' attitude-
No one is special here (I've not claimed to be).
Just let it go.

Just hello really. i was at an opening where a celeb was guest of honour and I said hello, but that was all.
Others formed a queue and asked him questions, but stood on the other side of the room chatting to another woman - and we both agreed that we found the situation rather awkward!

I met a minor celeb who is a friend of a friend (and my childhood idol) who asked me if they knew me. I said they'd probably seen me very drunk with our friend at events..... They said that rung a few bells...

Met a famous (if you're into ballet) ballet dancer in a cafe after a performance we'd just watched. Son's gf with us had just performed with him so she just said a few words. Me: "Your feet are amaaaazing"

I met Gordon Ramsay at a book signing when DS was about 3 - we had queued for a fair while, and Gordon commented on how well-mannered and well-behaved DS was

I met Antony Head after seeing him in a stage production - he was lovely, signed my programme for DH who was at home looking after DS! Gave me a kiss on the cheek.

Recently met Kit Harington when the stage production I was meant to be seeing him in was cancelled at the very last minute - he came up to chat to all the (very very gutted) theatre-goers. It was a production of Dr. Faustus so I said that at least he could have the afternoon off from going to hell

Never actually met a proper famous person to speak too iirr.

Tom Felton (Draco) came and sat at the table behind us on holiday this year. Me and 14y dd recognised him. But he was sat quietly having a drink and we didn't feel we should interrupt his peace. Dd managed to get photos discretely taking selfies (well not that discrete really!)

He clearly knew that we knew who he was! But he also seemed to appreciate us not bugging him and talking to him when he was chilling out. He left quickly when two young women approached him.

However he did give dd a wave and a smile when he left on his skateboard. She was so excited lol! And so pleased :)

Not me with any 'razzmatazz' attitude (whatever that means). You came on to claim to have been famous any attempt to put down people on a nice, lighthearted thread. And no, no one on here is special, apart from yo their own. Instead of coming on a lighthearted thread trying to be uppity why not just avoid it. Or couldn't you claim game anywhere else?

Claim game = claim fame.

Theonly:

I wouldnt have washed my cheek ever again!

crawls off to cry in the corner, I have been betrayed...

I just don't understand how you think claiming fame is putting anyone else down, even if it was simply a false claim literally noone on this thread is affected except you?

I met a footballer in a bar about ten years ago. He stood on my foot and was really apologetic. I knew exactly who he was but he introduced himself to me and I pretended to not recognise the name. We got talking, ended up having a few drinks together and I spent the whole night pretending I had no idea who he was. Until he mentioned something about a match from the previous season and I remembered how angry I was at the referees decision.

I admitted not only knowing who he was but also that I was a huge fan of him and his team (nothing to do with my username!) and that I had a huge crush on him.

We ended up dating for just under a year but both agreed that it wasn't working and split. We still talk every now and then. Last time he text me to congratulate me on a new job I replied asking who it was he thought I was up,to my old tricks again but I had genuinely lost his number!

Once met a fairly a list celebrity couple in a playground type situation. Our kids were playing together for a good while. As I was unsure what to do I simply took them at face value, did mot comment that I knew what they worked at and we talked about children, pregnancies in later life and about where (in a touristy area) to go food shopping. A while later I read in a national newspaper that the person in question was seen shopping in the shop I had suggested to her. Oh and I was invited round to a play date / coffee to their place but as both us and them were on holidays the day did not suit. I suppose most celebrities are famous for what they do - they are as entitled to time off and normally as the rest of us.

I exchanged pleasantries with Roger Daltrey in a hotel corridor some years ago. I said something like, 'Morning Roger, how's it going ?' and he replied, ' I'm very well thankyou' . Simple. I'm not impressed by celebrity culture, we're all just people after all, so I don't get giddy and starstruck.

I bumped with Louis Walsh outside a restaurant, I said hello as I would have done to anyone I knew, he replied nicely and then we both went back to talking to our respective friends.

I told my friend " I really can't remember where I know that guy from". Friend replied, you don't know him, he is in X-factor every weekend!

I also had a date with a presenter of a popular BBC programme. He was so secretive about his job online I thought he was married.

Once I met him I realised that he was Going through his middle age crisis (extensive exercise, wishing to do the Route 66 in a classic convertible (which he had just bought).

I thought that due to the traveling his job required, he could have several girlfriends around the country so I declined every further invitation.

I'm not normally so untrusting but something was not quite right, which I had confirmed a few weeks after... He was still very married but claiming to be at the advanced stages of his divorce.

We saw a famous "Mark" a few weeks ago in a local restaurant. DH just said "alright Mark" like he was one of his old mates he hadn't seen in a while.

It's terrible to have to live in a permanent state of anger.
Either something bad happened in your childhood or you are unhappy with your weight.
Sad really.

I've met different members of a band i love at a music event we go to regularly. They're the only ones who make me go all silly. When I met the singer standing at a stall I said oh I love you and your band then I thrust my then 18 month old daughter at her and asked her to hold her for me. I don't know why i did it and she looked a bit shocked but I knew she had a daughter the same age so figured she'd know what to do!
