To ask if you saw a 'celebrity' would you approach them?

[HJWT]

Just been in a pram shop and saw an actress from Hollyoaks, DH told me to ask for a pic but I said no because she was clearly busy being shown a pram 😂 so just wondering if you saw a celebrity in a shop would you approach them? Or let them get on with their life.

Also should they be ready to be approached constantly or not? Whats your opinion x

No, absolutely not.

No, of course not. They're just trying to live their lives.

No. Why would you want a picture of some random person?

No I wouldn't.

No! Not unless they are backstage door or clearly on the job. They're entitled to private time.

Nope. Although someone famous used to come into my old place of work so I would approach them there in the same way I would any customers.
From what I gathered, this person found it bloody annoying to keep getting stopped by randomers which is why they chose to live in the area I do as they are usually left alone by random people

@TheTrollFairy yes I totally get this, she said hello to my DD and smiled! I see celebrity's as normal people I have never understood people that get overly excited seeing them! X

No! Not unless they are backstage door or clearly on the job. They're entitled to private time

Absolutely this^

As some one who stage doors quite a lot and even if they are in a rush and chose not to come out the stage door or rush off therecwork is technically done when they step off stage.

But private time is private time.

Not a chance. Although I did once approach an Eastenders actress in our local Waitrose..... before I could say anything, she snapped at me “LOOK, I’M WITH MY CHILDREN. NO PHOTOS, NO AUTOGRAPHS. HAVE SOME RESPECT!!!” Which is a shame, because I had actually approached her to let her know her skirt was tucked in her knickers......

Ds gets a very famous footballer in the shop he works in. They all pretend they don't know who it is and just treat him like any customer. He's really lovely apparently! I guess if they were OTT with him he would shop elsewhere.

Only once, when I was really drunk

No but my ds saw Holly from emmerdale on a train he was 11. And had a pre teen crush on her.. So he asked for a pic.. He did and sat and had a drink on her table on train.. He was more exited about telling me this (I wasn't there he was wiyth dp), than his vip tour of Wembley stadium lol

No, I wouldn't. We were in a restaurant where a famous singer was having lunch with their child, we pretended not to recognise them. The weariness in their eyes when someone did approach them, for a photo, for an autograph, then to gush at them while their meal got cold, the sadness in their child eyes. . . nope.

We had a very famous rugby player in my hometown, instantly, and world widely (if you follow rugby) recognisable. That poor sod couldn't go round the supermarket in peace, he was so good about it.

No, I wouldn't. A very close friend of mine was incredibly famous for several years (soap actor) and wherever we went crowds would appear demanding autographs. It was impossible to have a conversation or do anything normal the minute we stepped outdoors. I found it infuriating and I was only the onlooker.

@BooksAreMyOnlyFriends we had a footballer living at the end of the road! He's rented it out now though must of moved on to a bigger gated mansion 🤣

@FenellaMaxwell THAT is hilarious 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

I travel through Waterloo daily and have asked celebs for photos often! They've never snapped or been angry. Probably wouldn't go up to them if they had their kids or other people with them though.

No - They're just people at the end of the day, they should be able to go about their business like everyone else with out being pestered.

I would only approach if they were working in a professional sense like a book signing or promotional event were they are clearly promoting their next venture and are prepared and expecting to be approached by fans. The rest of the time they should be left to enjoy normal life.

“LOOK, I’M WITH MY CHILDREN. NO PHOTOS, NO AUTOGRAPHS. HAVE SOME RESPECT!!!” Which is a shame, because I had actually approached her to let her know her skirt was tucked in her knickers......

I would have just smiled and said that she had her skirt tucked into her knickers...

Absolutely not.

No I won't approach if they are going about their day to day lives, especially with their children and family .

Only if it were Richard Wilson and I were an Irish priest - I'm 100% confident that he would love it if I approached him

No, I would never approach them.

A famous actress approached me in Regent’s Park though, and told me my DD was adorable!

I don't watch soaps and don't have a clue about many so-called celebrities discussed on MN. If I saw a random celebrity I recognised in the street, no I wouldn't approach them - I had to force myself to stick to this when I once saw Alan Rickman in Portabello Market - he was lucky he wasn't ravished on the spot . However, I had a celebrity couple as neighbours when I lived in London and if we bumped into each other in the street or corner shop would chat as one would with neighbours.
