Who is the most famous person you have met?

[WomenHour]

I would have to be George Sampson.

Most famous/recognisable? I'd say Roy Keane, and he was absolutely lovely

Ralph Fiennes

Princess Margaret in UK and the Prime Minister twice in Australia. A few actors including someone I went to school with.

Scrap that - how could I forget.... The absolute legend that is Sir David Attenborough

Stu Francis
Gary Neville
Ken Barlow
Guy Garvey
Walked past Hulk Hogan once

Janet Jackson

I’ve met Jeremy Renner (hawk eye from avengers)
James marsters (spike from buffy)
Emily chappell (cyclist)
And Nicola Adams was in the year above me at school

All famous in my eyes

Bond James Bond. I was not shaken but stirred.

Robbie Williams - lovely bloke.

@Saggyoldsofa

And Sean Connery in a lift once.

My favourite (but vicarious) famous person non-encounter was that my long term ex sat on Simone de B's knee in france. There was a lovely pic of him, her, and Jean Paul Sartre...

That’s quite cool.

James Arthur

I once sat on Sir Alf Ramsey's knee when I was little (Grandad was an Ipswich town fan) and I met Sid James at a fair he opened - he chatted up my Mum

Paul McCartney.

Shagged a now ex PM when at Oxford (less said about that the better)

Al Murray - also when at Oxford, poshest person I met there. When he started with the whole Pub Landlord thing I had trouble believing it was him...

I then worked for the BBC for a number of years...

David Tennant - playfully punched him in the arm (during his Doctor Who days) He was/is fucking gorgeous.

Gary Lineker - fucking twat. Truth will come out one day about that twat.

David Warner - very tall and very nice. Remembered me after the first time we met. Rather wish I'd gone there...

Elizabeth Taylor - met her at the Venice Film Festival at some point in the 80s. I was drunk as a skunk (so was she) and throwing up noisily in a bathroom in a bar she came into. She was very concerned about me (I was underage) and very nice. I ended up sitting with her and her friends and she had us all crying with laughter. No airs or graces about her, she was so nice. Probably my favourite encounter.

I don't think I have ever been more jealous in my whole life. One of my favourite actors and favourite singers. Lucky you

David Bowie
Billy joel

I thought Gary L was supposed to be friendly?

Oops sorry, my comment was meant for the poster that met Patrick Stewart and Amy Winehouse

@coodawoodashooda

I thought Gary L was supposed to be friendly?

He is. Very. Overly 😬

Jonathon Ross.

Boris Johnson
Jeremy Corbyn
JVT

Jack Nicholson & George Clooney. Randomly and 15 years apart.

George Michael, Simon Le Bon, Gloria Hunniford, The Sultan of Brunei, Richard Arnold, Bob Geldof, Robert Lindsay, Brenda Blethyn to name a few.

Oh I met Gary Lineker once on a garage forecourt after Italia '90.

Three teenage girls - we whistled at him from the car and came over and invited us back to his hotel. I'm sure Michelle would have been delighted.
