Who is the most famous person you have met?

[WomenHour]

I would have to be George Sampson.

Colin Firth - I used to teach his eldest son.

Ooo and forgot Nigel Mansell gave me his (sweaty) t-shirt after winning F1 🏎

I took it home and washed it 🤦‍♀️

Eddie hall
Prince nazeem
Liz Dawn
Robert englund
Robert webb
Went to school with Ryan sidebottom

Eddie Izzard or Slipknot

Eddie Izzard was lovely and stayed chatting to people who’d hung about after a set at a festival for ages.

Slipknot, I partied backstage with them once, they were all bonkers but a lot of fun!

Jill Dando. She was lovely, just lovely.
I was working abroad for a holiday firm and the Holiday program came to film (9 days), I was ‘escorting’ them around the Island. I remember my mum phoning me at work the day she was murdered.

@indemMUND Till Lindermann! My husband thinks he's brilliant, what was he like?

Diana Dors when I was about 4. Lots of others but most famous is the Hoff.

@BumbleFlump

Why are we writing lists people?! The thread title is Who is the MOST famous person you’ve MET not list every single fucking one of them, even if you only just spotted them from the top deck of the bus!

Just sayin 😉

Because it's hard to judge who is more famous.

Like other posters I had to google George Sampson because I had never heard of him, so he can't be that famous.

Roxanne Pallet 😖 ..what you see is what you get!

Sir Ian McKellen in a pub - I embarrassingly squealed 'look it's Gandalf' really loudly and he came over and chatted - he's was rather pissed but one of the most charming people I've ever met

Othering Gary Lineker "Pervy little letch"?! How disappointing, he's my celebrity crush!

DD met Henry Winkler when he visited her primary school.

Ian McKellen gave a talk at her secondary school when she was in year 13.

gogojojo once saw him on a Thames Clipper (boat) and had same (internal) Gandalf moment. Everyone on boat must have but no one said anything !
The sight of him - I mean Gandalf - in profile with the Tower of London and the traitors gate and thames all in the background was quite something !

Jim Bowen worked in his house saw him on tele couldn't stand him. Worked in in house can honestly say one of the nicest people you could of met .

Brian Blessed. Really nice and huuge (and loud) - so basically as expected.

The Queen
Keith Richards

I've met a lot

Tom Hanks, Cyndi Lauper, Terry Gilliam, Sebastian Stan, Christoph Waltz

Too many to name really - some were absolutely lovely, some were horrendous!

Some of these people are famous but... Julie goodyear's son? How is he famous? Julie Goodyear is barely famous any more

I went to school with Jay Kay (although not famous then but his Mum was) and I met Ricky Tomlinson (Jim Royle) who was arrogant. Seen a lot of other famous people but that doesn't count.

Last year I met a present and a former Prime Minister. The former is now President of the European Council, taking over from the man who said there was a special place in hell for Brexiteers.

Patsy Kensit, Hugh Laurie and Paul Boateng. Our children went to the same school.

Many years ago as a teenager, i'm in my early 60's now, my parents had Chay Blyth around for dinner before he gave a talk to the local Scout a district about his solo round the world sailing trip. I sat at the table with him, he was so interesting to talk to. He autographed hi autobiography for my mum, which I now have ☺️

Has anyone met Rod Stewart? He would be the one famous person that I would love to meet!

I bumped into 2pac last week, lovely guy

David Beckham.

I have met a lot of footballers as I used to work at a football ground but he was the nicest (and he smelt amazing!)
