To ask for embarrassing celebrity encounters

[woofsaysthecat]

Yes I started the celebrity claims to fame last week.

Today I excelled myself.

I went to buy a coffee before work and I walked out of the shop and literally banged into Neville from Harry Potter. I threw my cappuccino all over him. 🙈 He was lovely and bought me a new one but it was so embarrassing!

NC as I know anyone who knows me IRL knows most of this story.

Many years ago I was with my exP he managed to blag us backstage passes for a live show by Steve-O and some of the other guys from Jackass. I had a huge crush on Ryan Dunn back then so getting a hug and kiss from him made my night (and he smelled absolutely amazing so the hug was maybe only slightly awkwardly too long). But then every time he moved into a different room, there I was. Coincidence only some of the time, the other times we were just trying to find the beer. We were then getting autographs, I was wearing a strappy top, so my backstage pass sticker was sitting just at the bottom of that on my chest, when it's my turn to get my pass signed by Ryan, I gestured to where it was, and he thought I was asking him to sign my boob. A little awkward, but hey, my celeb crush was writing on my boob so I just let him do it.

After that we had to queue to get to meet and get autographs from Steve-O before we left, we get to the front of the queue and he of course sees what Ryan has done to my right boob, says he doesn't blame him and grabs my left boob for a decent grope before signing it. I was so shocked I told him to stop it or my exP would beat him up. (Ryan I should add, didn't cop a feel, just went for the autograph.)

I then ended up walking through the city to where we were staying looking like a crazy fan with signed boobs.

Piss Crackham!!

Oh, that's really cheered me up

I was in a bar for a friend's birthday and she was outside having a cigarette break. A noisy group of people came and a nice man asked if he could have the bit of banquette next to us. I said yes and then proceeded to huff a bit because they were quite rowdy and annoying. Obviously I gave off sulky vibes because the nice man said to his friends something like "I think we are disturbing our neighbour." and tipped his head in my direction.

My friend came back and did a comedy double take before sitting next to me, sending a text (to me) - "Why are you sitting next to Jarvis Cocker?"

I shushed what I was later told was his NME awards after-party .

Cavamad can you please give any more details on Tom Hardy’s house party?!

My jaw is on the floor. You were in Tom’s house. With Tom in it. Like, the real Tom . I have a huge crush on him (you may have seen the Tom thread that’s been going for months, started by someone else who feels the same way as me!).

I was in Dublin years ago and saw someone I knew walking towards me, I just couldn't place them. I waved and smiled and he smiled back. Encouraged I said fancy seeing you here.
He winked and went on his way.
My boyfriend was staring at me and asked how I knew Mike Scott from The Waterboys.
I was crossing Oxford Street once and the traffic suddenly stopped and I walked into the back window of a car.
Bob Dylan stared out at me squished up against his window with a look of horror.

Not me, but my ex who was faffing around with his malfunctioning fancy camera while at a venue in LA. A kindly chap offered to help and actually managed to sort whatever was wrong; ex thanked him but was too distracted to notice that the chap was a bit more than just a camera hobbyist

It was Steven Spielberg

Oh my god Puzzled that's a great story

I served a Gillian Taylforth and her family in a restaurant when I was a waitress. While clearing her children's plates I dropped a sausage in her hand bag 😱. She looked around for it, couldn't find it and said 'don't worry, I'll save it for later' and still tipped £10. What s lovely lady, to save my blushes.

Brilliant stories, loving the various famous Tom/loo ones!
One day I ran into a friend in the street and we were having a bit of a catch up so stepped into a bit of cafe seating so we weren't blocking the pavement. We were reliving the (very messy) night out we'd just had - how we'd been chucked out of the club, how so-and-so had been sick in the street, how I'd gone home with a guy and then realised I'd already shagged his flatmate... I was going into far too much gory detail about that, gestures and all, and accidentally smacked a nearby table. Turned to apologise to its occupant. It was Richard Madden (from Game of Thrones) and there was no doubt he'd heard the whole conversation To his credit he said nothing, just looked mildly amused. Worst part is I was hungover and looking like absolute arse so I couldn't even take the opportunity to chat him up!

dh walked into Gyles Brandreth earlier today, awkward and then they were walking the same way for quite a while, he said Gyles looked a bit worried!

A couple of years ago we were invited to a US Embassy reception in a foreign country. We'd been invited purely by fluke, we didn't really deserve to be there.

Anyhow, DH and I turned up in our finery and as we walked in I saw the Ambassador and his wife greeting a small queue of people, I think there were about 4 people in the queue, a little old man and lady and another couple of people. I thought it was lovely of them to greet everyone so warmly, and duly joined the queue for my turn.

All this time, DH was standing next to a wall going, "psst, Leilanii! Come here!". DH always does things like this. He hates attention and would rather blend into the background. Not I.

Anyway, my turn came around and I have to say the Ambassador was not quite as chatty to me as he had been to the others. Wounded I grabbed a glass of champagne from a passing waiter and joined DH at the wall, moaning about why the little old man and that the Ambassador didn't really seem interested in talking to me, at which point DH said, "That little old man, Leilanii.. is the king!"

Ha, this brings back memories ...

I used to have a huge crush on Joseph Fiennes. In 2001 he was playing the part of Edward II at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield which was right next to where I was working at the time. I went out on my lunch break and slammed straight into him as he came out of the theatre's side exit. Utterly flustered, I exclaimed, "You're Ranolph Fiennes!" to which he said, "erm, almost." Cringe ...

Not long after that I was at the train station waiting for a delayed train and found myself sitting next to a man who was on his mobile having an an extremely emotional altercation, seemingly breaking up with his girlfriend. Afterwards, he sat there in tears and I offered him a tissue, only to realise that it was Johnny Vegas! After that I kept having sex dreams about him, each time the sex getting worse and worse ... ugh, it still haunt me to this day!

Re Maureen Lipman being a cow. A friend worked in a bookshop and when ML was appearing at the local theatre she turned up at the bookshop demanding that her book should be displayed in the window.

My friend recently saw Jennifer Saunders and ade Edmonson on holiday. She said she had to talk to them despite them blatantly wanting some peace. In fairness they were polite but my friends was cringing after

Oh this is so outing as I tell it all the time!
I used to live round the corner from Kevin Bridges
One morning, before I knew this, I was getting a post night shift breakfast in a local cafe. I turned round in the queue and bumped right into him. Instead of apologising I looked up and blearily said "Oh! You're Kevin Bridges!"
He replied, deadpan "Aye. Aye I am" and gave me a what-a-weirdo look.

Months later I did the exact same thing. His response this time "Aye. You said that the last time"

After that I avoided the cafe!!

@caoraich

I approached Tom Daley at Waterloo station and asked for a photo which he said yes to. Afterwards I said "I was gutted when you came out as gay".
He said "sorry"

The weird thing is i wasn't gutted when he came out as gay at all.

Omg Snash what a thing to say

Eddie the Eagle Edwards saved my life when he was training for the Olympics.

Years ago after work I popped to tescos on the way home and saw who I thought was a patient's relative standing next to me in the queue (I was nursing at the time in Bristol) I couldn't place him and had a lovely chat, afterwards I realised it was Charlie from Casualty.

When I was in Junior school Winifred Foley stole my pen after she gave me her autograph 😂

having a pint in a riverside pub in Chiswick, London. Saw the barman walking through with empty glasses so I slipped our 4 empties in his and said 'thanks mate'. Got a puzzled but good humoured look.

it wasn't the barman it was the shortest one of Ant n Dec (ant?) in their local boozer.

Many moons ago, I worked in McDonald's and Blazing Squad came in before doing a club night in the town and one of the guys was not well, I was in the bathroom checking on him and getting him water to sip, not embarrassing for me bit the other lads tore him to shreds haha

About 6 or 7 years ago I worked in a supermarket and was putting produce out and came round the aisle corner and very nearly crashed straight into Una Healy, i was like "are you the girl from the sarurdays?" She was lovely and we had a photo together

Bet some blokes in a london 'it' bar (some years back). One introduced himself as SEW. Well thats what it sounded like. I tried multiple versions 'Sew? Soul?, Saul? Ahhhh, Sol - Like Sol Cambell?

Cue scowl. He obviously thought I was a wind up as yes, it was Sol Cambell at the height of his fame.

He was with a short little mouthy git who played for QPR who spent the time laughing at my apparently huge feet. What a gent. I left soon after!

We were in Australia at the Mardi Gra and were invitated into the VIP enclosure by my SS. After several glasses of champagne I saw some people that I recognised and went over to say "I love Neighbours" they were some of the cast of Home and Away!! I had to rush off and have more champagne

I once stood on Leonardo Di Caprios foot at a very swanky do, Sterling Moss shouted at me the same evening when I nearly got run over by a vintage sports car!

I've also played with Mick Fleetwoods dog on Malibu beach aged 12!

Saw Esther Rantzen in our local Waitrose and couldn't believe how tiny she is.

Most embarrassing though I fell over or rather skidded to a halt in front of Princess Anne when she came to open a new University building. She just ignored me!

I in a rather stressed state trying to heard 2 children into a hall for a summer holiday maths thing along with baby in buggy accedently rammed my buggy into the legs of Jonny Ball. So embarrassing. He was completely lovely.
