I have.
I was inspired to make this thread by the fact that I went to see Alice in Wonderland with my girlfriend (She really wanted to see it... :C), and was amazed to recognize the person in the seat next to us. I didn't recognize him at first, I thought he was just a friendly old man, but I realized about 3 minutes before the ending of the movie that it was Alice Cooper. He actually lives not 4 miles away from my Grandparent's House in Phoenix, near the theater. He was a really nice guy, and it definitely made up for the horrible movie.
Anyways, have any other Facepunch members met Celebrities? Were they dicks? Nice? Do tell.
Well, he's a regular visitor there, but Pheonix has certainly had its share of visitors.
I haven't met one, they're always busy :sigh:
I was at New York International airport and i ran in to Donald Trumps kids. His daughter Ivanka Trump is pretty fucking hot in person if you ask me. Tough, when i saw her she looked pretty pissed. When i was living in Hawaii, i would go to Pro-Bowl events and get to meet football stars in person and the cheerleaders. Good times.

Yeah I know. I mentioned to him I saw him playing golf once. Because I did. :buddy:

He is 10 times more of a badass in real life.
Terry Wogan and Katie Price are all I can think of.
I've met Carlos Mencia once after one of his stand up routines (back when he was actually funny). Also I met Billy Corgan a couple times.
Get GigaKing in this thread, I doubt anyone here can top him.
my brother works in wall street and had dinner next to u2 once
I unfortunately haven't seen any, but my father has seen Mr. Rogers at an Airport.
Nope, though im not sure, i might have met some when i was much younger.
Met Chris Ware and Neil Gaiman.
Got a board signed by Chris Cole, Josh Harmony, and Jaime Thomas. They were filming in my neighborhood. My friend and I were the only ones who knew about it. :smug:
No. ):
Lindsey Lohan.
:smug:
i met JFK before
Tom Hanks!
I used to be good friends with Michael Jackson when I was younger.
Ok, here are some more experiences I've had with celebrities.
I met Frank Iero from the band My Chemical Romance. I never cared for their music that much, but he is a really, REALLY great guy to be around. He is funny and rude, but I guess that's his style. Saw him after one of their shows, and he was happy to give me and my girlfriend a picture and a hug. [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/rating/heart.png[/img]
I've also met Ernest Borgnine at a festival. Coolest guy ever...
Met Tony Maguire at an autograph signing once. He was an asshole...
Bill Cosby was nicer than hell when I met him, though. I can't understand why some people say he's a dick.
Ooh, and I met Erik Koston, Cairo Foster, Tosh Townend, Mike Vallely, Tony Hawk, and Nyjah Huston. All skaters. Mike V was the nicest person I've ever met, surprisingly.
Oh, and can't believe I forgot this one:
Tom DeLonge, from blink 182, I met him in a Las Vegas bathroom. He was in the hotel for Angles and Airwaves, who was performing that night. We were both washing our hands, and I realized it was him and barely uttered out a Hi. He said Hi back, and walked quickly out. He was probably creeeped out that I had stared at him thinking if he was who he was.
Not met, but I saw one of the Jonas brothers pull out of the Super Target parking lot in his red Shelby Mustang.
They're still dickless tween hoarders, though.
Noel edmonds
He lives near me :smug:
I have seen my fair share of icelandic celebrities..oh fuck it, I've seen all of them.. Ingó Veðurguð, Ragnhildur Steinunn, all the actors of a known Icelandic comedy show and even Sveppi!
I met Drake Bell, he was at the University of Indianapolis got a pic with him and an autograph, he's a really nice guy.
I met Pope Benedict XVI yesterday.
I go to Vin Diesel's Christmas party every year. He's awesome and we talk about WoW and DnD
I met Jerry Stiller and Michael Moore, they were in town for our film festival.
Had a really strong urge to hit Moore, though.
Yeah.
Nothing special.
John Arne Riise, a football player, met him at a fun fair. I said Hi, only to realize who it was after I said Hi.
He currently plays for series A, Roma.
And I used to meet his little brother, Bjørn (Another football player) daily when he was walking with his baby. He lived 250 meters up the road from me, then he moved.
