Have you met anyone famous

[notsodimwit]

And felt so let down by them in real life such as were they a arse?

I've met a few other celebrities too but I haven't had a bad experience yet. The biggest arse I've met was actually the singer in a tribute band, a well known one if that makes sense,but still a tribute band.

He completely blanked all of the fans who weren't of a certain type(young,beautiful,scantily dressed). He seemed to think he was something special, and that they were beneath his notice, in spite of being advertised as a meet and greet.

P.S That behaviour wouldn't be acceptable with a major celebrity either,and I have nothing against tribute bands. I love several of them.

I've also met Cynthia Payne and agree that she is very nice.
I have met quite a few actors. The nicest by a country mile is Angela Lonsdale. She is an absolute sweetheart.

My brother met Lemmy from Motörhead

He saw him at a petrol station and walked up to this not entirely unrecognisable man and said 'are you Lemmy from Motorhead?'

Lemmy pointed at his t-shirt which had on it a picture of a Lemmy from Motorhead

dh was at an athletics thing with Linford Christie yonks ago.... he says he was a complete arse and wouldn't watch anything with him on.
He said a young fan (pre/early teen) asked for an autograph and he ignored him, then told his coach to get rid of him. He was rude and up himself.

Met several who were perfectly normal or actively lovely.

Had dinner with David Starkey. He was awful. Constant sneering, and bitching about competitors.

I met a lady this week who knows Kim K and says her husband is gay.

Lots through work but Paul Weller is my favourite, he brought me cake

Sheridan Smith = lovely
James corden = funny nut arrogant
Robbie Williams = odd
Antony Costa = nice guy
Gino dicampo = knob (for many reasons!)
Chris fountain = nice
Cleo laine = diva
Clare teal = lovely
Simon amstel = knobber

Many more b raters but can't remember all of them

I was age 5 through to 10 when I met them from the 80's so about 30 years ago.

Which one??

I see Alan Bennett from time to time. He's really lovely and unassuming, quite shy, and his partner is totally lovely too. It always makes my day when I see them
My friend met Vic Reeves once and he was awful to her.

Never...michael palin was foul and awful and most horrible person husband and iever meet. Husband had been collecting his books since a child and throw them after

Ah well, that's life!

Colin fifth...lovely down to earth and dh taller than him. Ive meet a few.

James corden - rudest person I’ve ever met

I’m seconding David Jason. He was filming at my workplace years ago. Just came across as rude and up himself.

So glad you said that about CRH top.

I’m mildly obsessed with him even though I don’t care about strictly etc. He just seems really decent, but also maybe something a bit sad about him?

Prince William - met him in a pub in Minehead. Speaks in a broad West Country accent, only about 5'3'' with a thick thatch of jet black hair and gets quite punchy after a few pints of cider. Also admitted he can't really fly a helicopter.

I’ve met a few but biggest and best has to be Lady Gaga. Ive spent 2 hours chatting with her and a few other fans in a room and she is the utter sweetest person imaginable. 💕

Noooooo Londonrach! Don't disillusion me! 😭

I have met probably about 30.

29 - lovely people. The loveliest was Prince Charles, sincere, compassionate, patient and puts you at ease.

1 - twunt! Craig Charles "look at me...!"

Ralph Finnes through work. His agent spoke for him (eyeroll)

Met Chris Evans a couple of times at car events, Sir Chris Hoy several times, James Martin, John Barrowman, Spike Milligan and all perfectly lovely and polite.

Loads rugby and athletics 'stars' who have been very nice.

Robbie Williams who was, well, odd.

I agree with David Jason. Big ego ime

Me and my little sister met the Queen when we were on holiday in Scotland. She was very nice, she said hello to us, smiled and asked if we'd come far. My stepdad met Alan Shearer at the Masters recently and he was apparently absolutely lovely. My stepdad was telling him how much my brother (who has CP) enjoys going to the Alan Shearer Centre which is a local day centre for disabled children and the man himself seemed genuinely interested in my brother.
