I met Mario Lopez at a boxing match because my teacher who fought that night introduced us. That's basically it unless you count my cousin who was on Hells Kitchen lol

Linus once replied one of my posts. It was such a surreal moment; sometimes I still wonder if I will wake up and realize it was just a dream.

I got to shake hands with Mikael Stanne and tell him how fucking amazing he and the rest of Dark Tranquillity are. The way he shook my hand was so metal.

during my elementary school years I lived on the Isle of Palms, South Carolina (United States)

 

In my 5th grade class Bill Murray's son Cooper Murray sat next to me. I played baseball and so did his son. Bill Murray just rolled up in a golf cart and watched the game. Nobody bothered him or anything. That was the closest I have come to someone super famous. 

 

They lived on Sullivan's Island, South Carolina. 

 

Also on Isle of Palms I think Reese Witherspoon, The Williams Sisters (tennis), and a few others either had a house or stayed in Wild Dunes (fancy resort/neighborhood)

These aren't the most famous people, what whatever.

 

Everyone at Hidden Path (the guys who made defense grid and csgo)

 

Nick Walker (a weatherman for the Weather Channel, he's related to me)

 

And to anyone who's heard of "The Invisible War" (it's a documentary), I'm in it.

 

I'm also hoping to see some of the people from Linus Media Group at PAX Prime this year.

FREE WILLIE!!!

I think that the most famous person I've met was (when I met him) the ex-president of my country. For you that don't know, he's Vicente Fox, president of Mexico from 2000 to 2006 and I met him at disneyland in california, was quite funny, I'd never expected to meet an ex-president of my country in that place haha.

I'm not sure about globally famous, but I've met a pretty internet famous guy here in Australia. YouTube personality Alex Williamson (shooterwilliamson), does some pretty funny Aussie humour sketches and what not. He did a little stand up show in a pub not too long ago, which a mate and I went to (we're both huge fans haha). Awesome bloke, straight after the show went downstairs, said hey to everyone and was open for chatting/getting pics with.

Didn't realise he's actually kinda tall haha. Any Aussies, or non Aussies, know this guy?

None of the mods have actually met either of them yet. Soon though if all goes to plan, I'll be in Canada for a year so I'll deffinately be catching up with Slick as well as Whaler.

I know him - some of his stuff's alright.. 

 

Sadly I've met Tristan Barker - went to school with him. On a happier note I've been backstage at a comedy show I was working with Dave O'Neil and a few other comedians.

Met a few bands/members over the years. Most memorable are Dino Cazeres (Fear Factory), Mikee Goodman (Sikth), Lostprophets (before they signed to Sony), sure there's more, but can't think of them right now.

 

Met a few musicians through college. Dick Hansen, who played trumpet on the track "Walking on Sunshine"; Peter Wilson, who produced some Police tracks, and was on a course with Nathan Fake, who does some pretty sweet EDM stuff now, released through Border Community, James Holden's record label.

 

Oh, and TinyTomLogan. Met him at a tech show in London a few years ago. Only chatted to him for a few minutes, I probably sounded like a complete noob, but was very cool to talk to. Just as down to earth as he is in the videos.
