Johnny Depp. A friend and I went to London for a weekend and he was there for the premiere of the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie. He was lovely to me and my friend.
I'm so jealous. I know he's a bit of shit and lots of bad press but I absolutely love him. I think I'd wet my self if i met him. I know that's such a lame fan thing to say but I'd come over all giddy. I dream about meeting him.

I have a family member in stage & screen. They have A Listers phone numbers 😱

Apparently;

Colin Firth is as much of a gentleman and delight as you'd expect.

Henry Cavill is down to earth, funny and a nice guy.

Olivia Coleman is exactly as lovely as you'd expect. Caring and funny.

Matt Smith is a delight

Greg Wise is charming, witty and has "the twinkle" off screen as well as on.

Randomly bumped into Eric Cantona and family at about midnight at a Bangkok side street cafe in their Chinatown district when I was on honeymoon. Love the photo we took with him, me with a big sweaty beaming face, DH looking a bit bemused (he not a football fan)

I went to a reception at Buckingham Palace when I was about 21, so met the Queen and Prince Edward. The Queen is very small. I spoke to Prince Edward and he was nice. Gordon Brown was there too, Michael Howard was very friendly - he had just quit as leader of the Conservatives and I think felt his life was a lot better for it!

The most bizarre thing - other than the teens I was with getting tipsy on free champagne at Buckingham Palace - was Ian Paisley lying over a bench/chairs ignoring everyone. The toilets were really impressive too.

Please can everyone say what their impressions of each person were. It’s too tantalising for words!

DH had coffee with Jimmy Somerville in the BBC canteen while they were waiting for their slot on Top of the Pops. He met and a long convo with Robert Carlisle who he said was lovely and really down to earth.
But I win..... I had a drink with Showaddywaddy after a concert in the mid 90’s, I had been a fan as a kid so started a bit star struck (I have led a sheltered life) but by the 4th shot we were friendly 😂

@WatershipDown7
Ok:
Prince William: nice, polite, keen to help in a difficult situation- he was working on the air ambulance (I wasn’t linked to the emergency but was present in a supporting role). Disappeared behind the helicopter When a rumour sent lots of people to go looking to see if it was him.
Gonch- opinionated, in love with himself
Mary Archer- fragrant
