Yes yes yes, I met with a very popular actor in my country, his name is DESMOND ELIOT , I had to plead with him for an autograph. Wonderful experience.

Actually a couple. My favorite story is I was working at a credit union (around 1988-89) in El Toro, CA. We had a Gold's Gym in the same center. Well...the actual name at the time was Kenny Norton's Golds Gym. I would have to go outside every morning before opening to get the balance totals off of the ATM machine. Every morning this HUMONGOUS black man in the ever famous neon flash workout pants that had the velcro on the waistband and a very tight fitting T-shirt. I would get nervous and hug the machine. The man could have snapped me like a twig.

After a couple of weeks he stopped to talk to me and asked if he scared me? I laughed and said yes, because (like I said) he could snap me like a twig. He started laughing so hard. I looked at him like he's was crazy. He puts his hand on my shoulder "Honey, I walk by every morning to make sure nobody messes with you." I laughed and thanked him. He said, 'Well I guess introductions are in order. He held out his hand and said 'Ken Norton, pleasure to meet you.' I shook his hand and said "My name is LeNetta, it's a pleasure to meet you too." I looked at him kind of funny. Then asked if he owned the Golds Gym. He said he did. He said good by since I had to get back to work. When I went inside my coworkers were standing there staring at me with their mouths open. I looked at them 'What??' Do you know who you were just talking to? I said yes he introduced himself to me said his name was Ken Norton. One of my coworkers gawked at me "That's all you have to say?" ; 'Yes, why?" "Former Heavyweight Boxer mean anything to you? " ; 'Not really though his name does sound familiar.' He shook his head at me and didn't say anything else.

The next morning Ken came by we said 'Hi' I asked if I could ask him a question. He said sure. 'Were you a boxer by chance?" He laughed so hard I was a bit dumbfounded. He put his hand on my shoulder again giggle "Yes ma'am, I am a boxer and before you go any further. I believe I had a pretty good career and a great life." NO it still didn't click in my brain. I told him he'd have to share some stories with me some time. He laughed some more , said only when I figure out why everyone was treating me so strangely.

So back in the day when the internet did not exist I had to ask around. My lovely younger brother told me I was a total idiot. Explained to me that he was a professional boxer and had been the Champ. I had vaguely remembered 11-year-old girls didn't really follow boxing. But we did watch the fight he won, because back then you watched all the major events.

So later that week, I apologized for my denseness. He laughed again. Said it was very refreshing for someone not to fawn all over him and treat him normal. I laughed and said I would have done that anyway.

He really was one of the nicest people I have ever met. He would occasionally buy our office breakfast or lunch. He walked by just about everyday for the 3 years I was there would discuss his kids and vacations and such. I was a newlywed so I didn't have much to talk about.

Sorry so long. like I said it's my favorite story for a lot of reasons. I think mostly because I felt like such an idiot for not immediately knowing who he was.

Oh it's a nice story. You could also make a post out of it. Hahaha.

I guess I could. Thanks :)

Yes .... I have met the greatest actor of our country Rajesh Hamal. I met him in one of the cinema hall where his latest film was running successfully.

I meet famous Telugu actor Balakrishna;In my child hood,,he come my village i see there,its a good experience to me.

Not really, and I don't really want to. I think people are unreasonably obsessed with celebrities today. It's even more baffling with famous people that have no talents whatsoever.

Yes!! For all latinamericans specially my fellow Venezuelans who know him, I have met the lead singer of this incredible band CARAMELOS DE CIANURO: Asier Cazalis!!!♥♥♥

20171220_115732-1.jpg

It was an amazing day!!

Eeeessso que bueno el gran Asier Cazalis!!

Siii estaba brincando tal cual colegiala de la emoción!!

¡Dios un amigo y yo te envidiaríamos!

jajajaja sii mis primas me querían matar

I once shook hands with a Australian Prime minister (John Howard). It was weird, he'd never paid attention to the musicians that played at Parliament house, but this time the visiting dignitary came to thank us. So I guess he had to pretend!

I do meet a lot of classical music heroes in my life of work, but that is a niche interest!

I gave flowers to The Queen once while on holiday in Scotland and ended up on the front page of a bunch of newspapers.

Yes I have.
I happened to see the then governor of my state Rt Honourable Rotimi Chiubike Amaechi.

He was visiting my home town, and passed my family compound on his way to pay courtesy to the traditional ruler.

That was the day I discovered the governor was bald.

No. I did have the chance a couple of times but have always decided to leave them be as they probably get buggered enough as it is.

I don't know what I would do if I ran into a famous person on the street. Probably the same thing that you do.

Yes! MANY TIMES. IVE MET FAMOUS CELEBRITIES here in Philippines. Since when i was a teenage girl, but the most unforgettable moment. Which was meeting one the comedian Actor, singer. Host of Showtime, because i saw And bought his ticket last 2015 for his concert here in cebu... I was there and had fun seeing his great performance on stage! . His name is Vice Ganda. And after the concert we went out and while taking a pictures with my cousin. We saw two couple which are also one of the famous celebrities here in Phil , running out to elevator so that no one can see them outside. That they're also in water front cebu, but we saw them and say Hi. K abad and paul Jake. K abad is one of my favorite actress by the way

I never met a famous person

Yes I met an italian actor in Florence. Leonardo Pieraccioni

When I was like 15, I won a meet&greet with the band that was the most famous Belgian band at that point. We had lunch, together and hung out before the concert.
For a 15-year old fan, it was a superb experience ;0)

Wow what an experience!

If famous person or celebrity means a person who is shown in media and has some success, "No," I hadn't meet any famous person.

In fact, I would not feel like a miracle even if I ever meet a famous person, but I treat with respect.

The only person I would like to meet and express my huge respect and admiration is Steffi Graf, the tennis legend. I also admire a few novelists but they are no more.

For me a famous person mean a person who is successful in a good one, in that case, I met a lot.

I've met several famous artists and politicians in my country, Philippines but I think the most famous among those I've already met is Kris Aquino, the youngest daughter of former President Cory Aquino and a sister to former President Benigno Aquino III.

Actually truth be told I have never really met a famous person

NO, I HAVE NOT KNOWN ANY FAMOUS ARTIST IN PERSON, BUT IF I HAVE SEEN SOME WALKS FOR SOME COMMERCIAL CENTER, AND WELCOME YOU

not yet i dont know where they live how to contact them they dont have time to people like us they are famous we are average hhahah thats reality

No, and it is not that I agree exactly about "overvaluation" or X. I would like to meet someone with a little bit of mind and depth. I would like to meet Adele, or perhaps Pablo Alborán. Tell them that I really like their songs for verses. Because I like their minds.

That would be great for me!

No, but I was almost related by marriage to the singer Neil Diamond. My first husband's niece married him several years after we got divorced. It almost made me regret leaving. Should I have stayed just for the whiff of fame that entered the family? Lol!

I have met a few Rock Singers and Metal Band frontmen, like Napalm Death singer Barney Greenway

yes daddy yankee

Oh I have met a lot of celebrities over the years. So let me think who the most famous one is...

Oh, I remember! I did not meet the person face to face because there were a lot of people in around him. Hahaha. I saw Giorgio Tsoukalos of Ancient Aliens when he came over to the Philippines for the first ever History Con!

I even took a video and pics of him during his talk but sadly it is prohibited to share the video since we were told at the start of the talk that we are not allowed to capture anything. Haha. :D

It was a fun experience though. Maybe I will blog about it.

I have meet former head of state General abdulsalam Abubakar, former president olusegun obansanjo
