Meeting celebrities

So today I was walking around Uni during my break and saw Jeremy Clarkson and James May having lunch. This is the first time I've ever met a celebrity (we don't usually get them here in New Zealand) and it was awesome, they were both really nice. They made fun of my hair, but in a cool and funny way.

Share your celebrity stories here. Were they nice or rude? Let's hear'em!

Met a famous news presenter here in Australia. I didn't think too much off it. If anything it proved to me that celebrities are just normal people as well.

If I ever met either of those two I'd probably go into hardcore fanboy mode. I've met eminem he was a pretty cool dude not as edgy as I expected but I was 12 so he probably wouldnt have been a dick to me anyway.

I've never really met any huge celebrities. I mean... that would require them to get to Denmark. And well... artists come to Denmark on their tours, but they don't really just hang around (at least not that I've seen).

I've seen a few danish celebrities, but never gotten the chance to talk to them. But that's alright, I don't care much for celebrities, really :)

That might be true. I've been to LegoLand at least 6 times. Haven't seen any so far, though.
Maybe if I tried to spot them, though.

Have you ever been to LegoLand btw? Or was it just a random guess? :sohappy:

Only celebrities from my country, and they're not famous worldwide.

I remember a few years ago Jeremy Clarkson said he had given up smoking in a Top Gear episode. I would have given him shit for it.

im surprised hes a really nice guy. he seemed like a dick in moto gp and his dick move in moto gp to retire whilst he wasnt even anywhere near the age of most champions that retire. He was a good racer but appeared to be an asshole all the time.

Jacques Villeneuve, son of Gilles Villeneuve, one of the most talented F1 drivers in the late 70's early 80's until his tragic death.

Jacques wasn't as good as his father sadly. He had his short moment of glory in the mid 90's, but then he fadded away quickly. Having that picture in the mid 90's would have been worth a lot. Now though its not worth much... Hahaha, I was 15 in that picture. So thats roughly 5 years ago..

Pretty sure he retired due to too many injuries + he had just started a family. I heard he had qualified for the V8 supercars which is the biggest motorsport in Australia (Not sure about other places).
