The title says it all. Have you ever seen famous people in real life?

 

In 2012 I was getting on a JetBlue flight and I saw Wolf Blitzer getting on the same flight, damn IRL he looks really cranky.

 

So have you guys seen any?

Nope and I really don't want to meet the ones I like because they might be different than what I imagine

I saw Jessica Alba on set while she was filming the dark angel series here in Vancouver, BC. This must have been 12 years ago at least. Christ, how times passes by.

He's an anchor on CNN.

My sister and cousing met the Dutchess of York.

 

Not sure if that counts. Also I went to the same High school as chris brown, he came back for the homecoming football game one year, me and all my friend yelled "I'M MIKE JONES" at him. Not sure why, but the little f**k was signing 5 dollar bills. Wanted to punch him for being a shit.

I saw some rapper named Chingy at some school dance recital for some reason, apparently he's famous.

 

However I did get to see Chris Samuel from my favorite NFL team, the Redskins, a Pro Bowl level tackle.

I gave Tony Hawk a high five.

Did you wash your hand after that? :P

 

I never met a famous person. Well, there was a comedian who gave a speech for my cousin's college graduation. He was famous, apparently.

I've met musicians when they've done record signings...something I guess won't be happening anymore since mp3's/iTunes.

 

Which reminds me, Tom still has my signed copy of Splendor Solis, that son of a @%!

Met all the members of Breaking Benjamin on several occasions just not in meet and greet sessions. They all lived in my area when they were a band and still do. The drummer used to teach drum lessons at a local music store here. Thats about all I've met though.

Hillary Clinton- She had this "im better than you" attitude toward me

Bush jr- cool guy, really nice. A lot smarter than what people make him out to be

Bill Clinton- easy going guy, had a few drinks with him.

Obama- didnt get to talk, shook his hand though.

 

Dave Chappelle- One of the coolest motherfuckers you will ever meet.

Met a bunch of nascar drivers at the Charlotte motor speedway when i volunteered there

A few golfers at the pga tour in Charlotte.

Ate at a McDonalds with Miriam Quiambao (1999 Miss Universe), attended a class with a political personality, jogged along with a few local artists, shook hands and got an autograph from Emi Takei (Kaoru from the Rurouni Kenshin movies)...

Bush and smart in the same sentence? Oh boy...

 

He's an idiot if you put him on the spot. Just look at what he did to you guys.
