Your Celebrity Encounters

Uncle posted that in the TV thread and it amused me. Just a bit of Monday morning fun. So can anyone top his claim to fame? I probably can't. I was at a film festival party in France about a decade ago and got to witness a drunken Timothy Spall playing the spoons. That's probably about as good as it gets for me.
The worst celebrity encounters the better. Great if you once bumped into Brad Pitt but I'd probably rather hear about the time you saw Andi Peters buying a plunger in Homebase. -
I was in Florida when I was 14. Went to Seaworld and we stumbled across an absolutely fucking hammered Paul Merson wobbling about like a tramp with his missus in tow.
Also at my cousins wedding Zak Dingle turned up towards the end of the night. Friend of a friend of a friend. 100% tramp looking, smelled odd and sat down at the centre table like Billy Big Bollocks waiting for attention and had free drinks all night. That was the wedding where there a phantom shitter was the talk of the event, as a pair of stained boxers were found behind a bog in the toilets. Little do they know it was me who shit himself. -
I worked in retail in central London for many years. I’ve sold a lot of celebrities a lot of shit. -
Oh and I once had to give Southampton FC a 20% refund as a goodwill gesture after the 48 blinds they had ordered from Dunelm turned up two weeks late. In the wrong colour.

Played footy with Chris Waddle. I’ll dig out a picture later.iosGameCentre:T3hDaddy;

Fitted Jo Whiley's kid's shoes, she is a dickhead, came in 5 minutes before closing wanting all her kids shoes fitted.
Served her at Zavvi as well, again dickhead. She filled a whole basket with CDs, selected about 5 to actually buy then left the rest for us to put back.
Served Ian Beale multiple times, he is decent just don't mentioned Eastenders. Good tipper as well.
Went face to face with Lee Dixon at Victoria Station after he suddenly turned around.
As a kid at one of the Florida water parks my dad got chatting to Jim Rhosental while me and my brother played with his son the now actor Tom Rhosental.
My mate's dad is a famous news anchor. Got wasted with him at my mate's wedding and was declared best guest by the dad the next day. -
I went to the Comedy Store in LA and sat next to Forest Whitaker at the bar. -

Plot twist: Liverpool now have 48 blinds. -
Bez gave me a lift to our tent in a clapped out Mondeo at Glastonbury (Paul Ryder was in the car, who I kinda sorta maybe ish know. I doubt he'd remember me though).
Kate Moss pinched my bottom. At Glastonbury.
Similar to DS, I was at a wedding with several members of Emmerdale. Not Zak though, but Sam was there. I did alot of shots with them. Alot.
My favourite is being at the filming of the video of Stop Me if You Think You've Heard This One Before by The Smiths, aged around 8. I met the entire band but didn't care. It was boring, I hated my sister for dragging me there and I wanted to go home.

It mist be a Northern thing. Have a wedding and Emmerdale stars randomly turn up.

I reckon so. Was in Leeds, so....

He was also a regular at Electronics Boutique Leamington Spa when I worked there in the mid-90s.LivDiv wrote:Served Ian Beale multiple times, he is decent just don't mentioned Eastenders.
As I've mentioned many times before, I served Gordon Strachan when he was a player at Coventry and came in to buy Championship Manager 2. A few months later he became the Cov manager.
That time when Colin Powell (of Bush government fame) was the guest of honour in some Mayfair hotel fundraiser, my wife talked the organisers into letting us in to meet to him, and then we were swiftly escorted out when we mentioned the Iraq War.
I interviewed Noam Chomsky in an Istanbul hotel. -

I really have no idea who Bez is, but i remember some friends of mine said he randomly turned up at their house party and got sick on the floor. -
I said hello to Eddie Izzard in Madrid. -
Went to school with a girl that was in the Black Beauty movie.
She later appeared in Big Brother on the same series as another girl I went to school with, it never came up that they went to the same school. A mate was on the production crew and said it never came up at all, nobody had any idea.
Both contestants were total dickheads on the show and at school. -

Who is it was she fit

I saw the singer from Papa Roach being a drunken knobhead to young girls at the bar in the Cathouse (rock club in Glasgow). Pleasingly, I then watched him fall down two flights of stairs only a few minutes later.
-
Let the knobhead hit the floor.

@DS
Nope. Annoying twat.
Not bad if you are down with girls with shaved heads. Actually not too bad at school just a bit stuck up.
-
They look like a horror poster
-
First one was in a band at school called Krumb, complete with backwards R.

Christ, I have a lot.
Met Michael Palin as a kid at a Full Circle book signing and asked him if he remembered the funniest joke in the world skit, which he recited word for word.
Met Terry Pratchett a bunch of times at books signings. Asked him one who Death was before he died and he told me that was a very clever question.
Bunch of celebs I met during the glory days of the hotel bar -
Kelly Jones of Stereophonics bought everyone in the bar a drink. He was a Brandy man.
I'm in a D12 tour video where I poured them pints and they had a pint drinking contest.
Served both Tony Blair and Gordon Brown tea. 9ne tipped, one didn't. Leave that to you.
When the X Factor auditions were going on in our hotel, Sharon Ozborne was pissed and grabbed my arm and told me a was a very handsome boy.
Me and another bar staff had to get the lead singer of Razorlight up to his bed as he was drunk, shoe and sockless and playing his guitar drunk under reception.
Van Morrison remains the biggest prick of all time, sending a rider that said hotel staff couldn't look him in the eye, and demanding a staff member stand in front of him as he ate his breakfast. -
David Rocastle got my ball out of a tree in the early 90s.
I sold Danny Baker a snooker game when I worked in Lewisham Game.
Had a brief exchange with a ruddy faced, drunk and happy Stewart Lee at a Driveby Truckers gig around ten years ago. -
I once convinced Lawrence Dallaglio to pre order a copy of The Lord of the Rings The Two Towers on DVD whilst doing work experience at WH Smith in Richmond.Gamertag: aaroncupboard (like the room where you keep towels)

Most of the celebs I get to meet are on the kids book circuit as part of my librarian job - I've had lunch with a few children's laureates we've had for events and other famous writers which is always nice.
I get invited to quite a few private book launches (when Covid isn't doing it's thing) and met Julian Clary (really nice guy) among other celeb authors who are now writing kids books. Everyone in the kid's book trade seems to dislike Walliams....
Back in our theatre work days my wife and I brushed shoulders with various actors - though she'd always have to tell me after the fact as I'm terrible at recognising famous people if they're out in the wild. I actually wound up sitting next to Simon Pegg and his family in the theatre a few years back and I didn't realise at all.PSN : time_on_my_hands -
Who's shagged one then? I want the real content. -
I shagged an England Women's B Team footballer if that counts. Was a good session then three weeks later she left me a voicemail screaming, convinced I'd told her husband we'd shagged. I didn't even know she was married or who he was.
Howdy, Stranger!
