@ememem84

Henry Cavill

I also literally bumped into d’or Iain McKellen and squished the roses I’d bought for Dm. He was lovely - totally my fault as I wasn’t looking where I was going. He sent new roses to Dm (asked for her address after the squishing).

Amy winehouse.

That’s so lovely! What a gent!

Mine are probably Eddie Izzard (with Gordon Brown 😂) or Russell Brand. Not very impressive!

Maggie Thatcher when she was PM.

Paul McCartney.

Both in similar circumstances within weeks of each other. Hate to say it but Thatcher was more charming and friendly than Macca.

Also met Henry Cavill and Russell Crowe (Superman premiere in Jersey), went to school with Simon Pegg, met Jilly Cooper and Jack Higgins - both lovely, Paul Shane from Hi-de-Hi (not so lovely), think that's it - DIL looked after Sir Ian McKellen, but didn't know who he was!

I walked past Amy Winhouse once near Old Street tube. She was on her own just minding her own business walking along.
