To ask if you've upset a "celeb"?

[QueenOfOversharing]

I was very upset confused & amused to find that Noel Clarke has blocked me on Twitter.

I've never even interacted with the bloke & I really like him as an actor & the films & tv shows he's in. No fucking idea how I've come to be blocked 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

Have you ever upset a celebrity? Did you knick Baby Spice's parking space? Did you spill a drink on Keith Chegwin?

How nice about Ian McKellen! Someone on here told a story about their dog jumping up at him and apparently he was charming about that too. Not that you'd expect anything different of him really.

Years ago I worked in credit control and had to chase a debt from a "celebrity" . They complained and my manager wanted me to apologise. I refused on the grounds that if they had paid our invoice to terms, I wouldn't have needed to chase it. I had been perfectly polite too.

I haven't, but my DDad was told to fuck off by Russ Abbott. He saw him at Manchester airport back in the late 80s, and went over and "did" one of his characters at him, probably Cooperman if I recall correctly. I remember him coming home and delightedly telling us all the story while he was giving us our souvenirs 😂

Reminds me of Father Ted and Victor Meldrew, Eoin.

When I was 3 I threw up on Chris Tarrant. Can't imagine he was happy about it

I sort of know Chris Hemsworth. Or perhaps more accurate to say I’ve met him about four times but not in a work setting. He’s very nice.

Lionel Blair told me to fuck off after I drunkenly disrupted a dance routine with a mate at the corporate Christmas do

Patroclus 😄 yes, it must be something these celebs have to get used to. When I think about it, I would have thought that Russ Abbott would have been grateful for the recognition, even back in 1987.

@EoinMcLovesCakeJumper Russ Abbot told my Nan to fuck off too. She only waved at him! He must've been horrible.

Chesney Hawkes called my DH a greedy bastard at a mutual friend's birthday curry night. DH retaliated by asking him if he was still in the music business. That went well.

Not me. But my aunt upset Kanye west. He has just got out of a car walking a few steps to an event at st paul cathedral

My aunt is quite a loud woman and declared 'oh look...its him....what's his name...married to the Kardashian woman.'

He just looked at her and glared. I just started laughing.

We were also in the daily mail stood behind him, in the photos.

I served Russ Abbot when he stayed in the hotel I worked in in my late teens.

He seemed really nice....clearly not

Please say the names of the celebrities, most confusing to have "semi well known 80's pop star" or "athlete"

No, not confusing. Unsatisfying

I’m always amazed by these threads, the closest I’ve ever come to a celebrity is seeing them in concerts. I’ve never even seen one out in the wild, never mind pissed one off!
Actually I saw Michelle Bass walking into a public toilet once looking very miserable but that wasn’t anything to do with me.

@Tp93 my daughter was on set with Chris Hemsworth recently as an extra. He wouldn't talk to anyone, wouldn't allow photos or autographs. She was so excited to meet him, but technically she never really did. He was such a diva.

Oof, please don't do this.

Extras are hired to work, and usually extras have to sign a contract and behavioural policy stating that they will behave professionally and that includes not approaching the actors and not taking photos. I've never been on a set where photos were not banned and usually extras are not allowed cameras on set to protect the production from someone taking sneaky set photos to sell to the media. It's massively unprofessional for an extra to ask for an autograph or a selfie and it's a wonder your daughter was not fired. It's a work environment not a fan meet and greet!

Told Robbie Williams to his face that he was behaving like an arse. He laughed like I was kidding. I wasn’t, he was.

It always amazes me when people say they have never seen a celeb just hanging around.

I live in west yorkshire so see the emmerdale cast alot in leeds. Andbibworked in a hotel that team playing leeds UTD would stay in when they were premiership.

But even outside that, I have seen loads.

Kanye west, Johnny depp, mark owen, cheryl (used to be Cole dont know what her maiden name was), the beckhams etc

Especially on trips to London, which I have only ever done twice.

It's not that unusual to not see well known people, most of us don't look at people individually when we go shopping or are out and about and some don't look quite the same in real life.

I used to see Norman Pace fairly often in Sainsbury's when he lived in Chislehurst (down the road from me), his son was at school with mine and he came to pick him up from here once. The same with Gary Bushell and some other guy who was a journo and appeared on TV occasionally.

Alex Walkinshaw (think that's his name), who played 'Smithy' in the Bill and is now 'Fletch' in Holby also went to our local Sainsbury's, I never saw him but husband did and I remember a young check out girl having the vapours over having seen him :-).

The opera singer, Willard White, appeared at events at son's school years ago, he lived in Blackheath or Greenwich I think. Must be an old man by now.

Husband and I saw Rod Stewart with a girlfriend at a theatre when we were out, before we were married and a few years ago I saw George Michael in the audience at Hampton Court festival.

When I worked in central London I saw loads of famous people all the time, some of whom I could not put a name to - the sort of actors you frequently see on telly but are not household names. Gary Moore I did not recognise and Jimmy Jewel, now deceased, I saw at work, the latter was a charming old gentleman. Oh, Cliff Richard too - very 'bouncy'.

Blimey I am name dropping! I honestly have never done that before - these are not friends or even close acquaintances of mine and I only mention because of this thread.

We had a cottage at one time in a Norfolk village and Martin Shaw lived there; I never saw him but neighbour said eight people (all young elderly), from the village travelled in a hired minibus down to London to see him in 'A man for all seasons' and he invited them to have a drink and chat in his dressing room after the performance. It made their day (or evening).

My son knows and meets lots of well knowns and thinks nothing of it but he is a musician so I suppose it's different for him.

@SwerfandTurf I never said she approached him for any of those things. They were all stated on a sheet, which was handed to us when we arrived on set. So no, she was never unprofessional, and was never going to be fired. She's a child, she was dissapointed. She was in a commercial for a famous gaming brand and met both "celebs" who were filming. Not all of them behave like Chris Hemsworth.

Working in our local Labour Party offices during the 1987 election - my mum and I were sat in a meeting room round a huge desk stuffing envelopes - in walked 4 young lefty looking chaps (DM's, Levi's etc) - they stood awkwardly in the corned so my mum barked 'make a brew or start stuffing envelopes' - two went to make tea and two sat to stuff envelopes until I (17 and open mouthed with star struckness) stammered 'Mum that's the Housemartins they are going on the battle bus today' and ran and got someone to rescue them. To be fair they made tea and where all round bloody lovely - especially to the young people working on the campaign

I pissed off Steve Davis when I was 14 by offering him a fag at a charity cricket match. He got very preachy but to be fair I was being a bit of a show off.

I was blocked by Greg McHugh who plays (among other things) Gary Tank Commandrer, who I love

I've no idea why, had never tweeted him, and am still disproportionately upset

I was doing work experience on a foreign TV show and an English guy got very snotty and said "don't you know who I am?" I had heard of him once he told me (Bill Oddie).

DH ran into a familiar-looking chap in Wandsworth and assumed it must be a work colleague so talked business at him until the poor chap managed to escape. At which point DH realized it was Nasty Nick from the first Big Brother and apologised profusely.
