Robbie Keane was a kn0b when I met him briefly back in 06 outside WHL in London.....nothing I could not have predicted by watching his interaction with fans on TV all those years.
(BTW for Spurs fans only....Huddlestone & Shirt throwing Ghaly were gents)

My GF met Martin Sheen in the mid 90s in USA when he was making a movie where she worked and he sat and had lunch and chatted away for half an hour.....one of the greatest gents you will find....I dare anyone to find a bad post about him on the internet.

He has Irish roots on his mothers side and came to Borrisokane in North Tipperary a few years ago for a visit.
Local schools welcomed him and he met lots of people. I met him in the local hotel where I worked
Complete gentleman and welcome back anytime

You know I seen that in The Midland Tribune.....his relation from Borrisokane took him down the town and joined him up at your local Credit Union...lol
Picture of him at the door.

He talks a lot about the town and he is very proud of his roots there and in Spain. Watch out for his film made in Tipp due out in the next year.

Gary Lineker is a kn0b too.....seen him in action in 89 when he came to Dublin for a friendly....snooty chap who fools a lot of people with his goody two shoes never been booked reputation.
He was on "They Think It's All Over" one night and Steve Collins was a guest and he remembered meeting Lineker too in earlier days and he wouldn't give him an autograph.

Just remembered Brenda Donahoe in her Ryanline Days....came into the local pub to do a spot and I Remember being amazed that she had no sound guy etc.....she came in with a bag on wheels and did her own Tech Setup.....did not strike me as very friendly.....a goin through the motions false kinda perky pretense.

I find it hard to believe. Lemmy is renowned for being one of the most approachable people around and will sit and chat, take a picture, have a pint with anyone who asks. I know loads of people who have met him and they cannot speak highly enough of the man.

One of lads I used to pal about with when I was younger,had a cousin who was in a band called Zodiac Mindwarp,and his cousin was good friends with Lemmy.

My mate was telling that his auntie told him that his cousin had come up from London to visit,and had brought his friend Ian with him.She said Ian was a lovely chap,a real gent,had lovely manners,although to look at him,she said,you wouldn't have thought so with his big greasy 'tache,the big warts on his face,and the SS helmet he was wearing ......god bless Ian"Lemmy" Kilminster..

I think a lot of people see the Nazi gear Lemmy collects and jumps to conclusions. The man himself has said that if the Brits or Americans made the most stylish uniforms then those are what he would collect. It has nothing to do with the man being a Nazi but rather like many of us he recognises that as bad as they were at least the did it with style.

Hi Darko,

Didn't mean to imply she thought he was a nazi,she just thought it was strange,he was sat there in her front room,drinking tea out of her best china,he was the perfect gent,it's just he was wearing the SS helmet,she thought he was lovely.:D

Des Bishop: Checking-in at Dublin Airport when i was nearly knocked over by him marching to the top of the queue, no apology or anything. Id say something if he was clearing customs and was running late or something like that but checking in!! Asspipe of the highest order!

Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond: Met them in a pub near the Hammersmith Apollo a couple of years back (i think they were doing one of their budget car road trips). Properly sound lads, under no illusions about who they were ("just the blokes off a car show") took the mick of Richard Hammond for being short and had a good laugh till Clarkson did the same and brought me down to size(6'6" vs 6'3"). Chatted away with them for a good 2 hours id say and had a blast!

Got pretty much the "do you know who i am" line from Brian O'Driscoll when i asked him for an autograph in the Sheen Falls, the actual words were " I'm very busy, you should know that sure"

The best one by far though happened to my uncle who used to work security in Elroys (now instinct) in Cork in around 1993-94. Some fella was pissed outa his brain and started chucking ice cubes at the barmaid to get her attention. So uncle duly walked over and asked him to leave, turns out its Roy Keane! He says to my uncle "i'm a fcucking united player i'll do what i want", the reply was epic " well your **** out of luck son coz i'm an Arsenal fan" and promptly threw him out.

Actually met keano about ten years later at a Bob Dylan gig in the marquee, sound lad only stopped chatting when the music started and signed my ticket stub and all.

Heard this story from a friend.

She worked in a restaurant in a five star hotel in the North. She gets a call one day saying "I just want to confirm a reservation for tomorrow" So she checks and there's no booking. She says that there are tables free and she can book the person in. The woman says "My brother is a famous actor and we need a private table someone" and she says I'm sorry but we don't have any free for tomorrow night. So the woman says she will talk to her brother and ring back. About 20 minutes later the phone goes and asks for my friend. "Hello this is Liam Neeson. What the f*** is wrong with you that you can take a booking and then when my sister rings to confirm it suddenly doesn't exist. How incompetent are you?" and he apparently went on like that for a while. She apologized and said there was no record of the reservation etc. He hung up. Then about a week later she gets a call from the sister apologising saying she had actually booked the golf club restaurant and had called the wrong number to confirm!

I was so devastated when I heard because I really like him!

Hal Emmerich · 13-05-2011 11:58pm

Fair play to the sister for coming back.

Yeah, I thought that was nice too! If it was me, I'd probably be too embarrassed to ring back.

I met JK from Jamiroquai with Denise Van Outen in Dublin in 1998, walking down the street. Myself and my mate chatted with them for a few minutes, he even laughed about how tall I was compared to him (I'm 6'5"). Really nice guy it seemed.

Lars and James from Metallica were friendly enough, I approached them outside Windmill Lane, James was a little more sarcastic in his answers but Lars was genuinely nice.

Bono i chatted with when he was sitting in his car in Ringsend in 97. Was just before "Pop" came out so we were chatting about the album. Didn't do the "fanboy" thing at all, just talked about music. Was very nice, took the time, shook my hand, asked my name, etc.

Evan Dando I got to meet backstage in 2003 after a gig in the Village. I ran a Lemonheads website at the time so was telling him about it. Chatted for a few minutes, he was a nice guy, but had loads of people all around him so I didn't press it too much. Made me feel welcome though and shook my hand.

I see Ian Dempsey a good bit in my local shop, he seems sound enough, was joking with the shop employees one day. Haven't met him though, not that I'd be bothered.

Met Mike McCready (guitarist of Pearl Jam) one day walking down Grafton Street. Chatted for a bit, he introduced me to his wife! Just a normal guy really, not sure if he was recognised much that day (I know a Pearl Jam guitarist when I see one!)

Dolores O'Riordain used to joke around my area when she lived here a few years back. Saw her in the shops too. Didn't meet her though. I know that's not much of a story about whether they're sound or not, but there you go. Same goes for one of the girls from B*Witched (one of the Shane sisters).

Met the three blokes from the Cranberries in the USA in 1995, they were on the same flight as me and were waiting for their luggage. They were tired but autographed my magazine. Dolores was nowhere to be seen.

Kickboxed once with the guy who played / plays Jimmy off Fair City. He seemed decent enough, except he was a bit worried when he had to spar with me and my mate, as we are both tall and he... well he isn't really.

Brendan Courtney was very nice, met him when me and my band were doing a thing on 2FM... he took our picture and posted it on his Facebook page.

So I've no "asshole" stories I'm afraid. I've only had good experiences with celebritires. They are great people! ;-)

Or maybe you're just a very likeable and approachable person. I know some celebs can be complete gob****es but so can "fans". Loads of them get the huff when they rudely encroach on a celeb's time and the celeb doesn't fall over themselves trying to please the person.

I read an article ages ago about how Katherine Jenkins was turning into a diva (I don't follow her career so don't know or care) and one of the examples they gave was a disgruntled fan who wasn't happy when he "met" Katherine on a flight. He woke her up and she wasn't super filled with joy to be asked for an autograph. What a bitch :rolleyes:

Well in that case I think you are perfectly within your rights to be royally pissed off. Jeez, celebs can be sooooo stuck up at times!

mikedone · 05-06-2011 11:06pm

I used to work in a famous hotel in London and found that the ones who had worked their way up through the small clubs were the most pleasant while those who had achieved instant fame were the least.
Most pleasant: Status Quo, Rolling Stones (despite their reputation) and the late great Frank Sinatra
Boorish: Boyzone, truly appalling

Met Ian Smith, aka Harold Bishop from neighbours , a few years back with a couple of friends. I didnt hear my mate ask him for a photo to send to his mum. I presumed it was a group photo so jumped in . Nearly fell over when Harold turned around and with a blank face said "f#ck off out of my photo" - traumatised for years!!

Met Gabriel Byrne who was an absolute gent as was David Kelly

I met Swift and the late Proof of D12 when they were in their prime touring with Eminem. We were at a Hip-hop night in what was Spirit at the time - now the Academy. The PA asked us if we could allow em to use our seats so we just moved opposite. I asked one for an autograph and the pen didnt work. Proof said "**** an autograph, let's sip" and they swept me up with his entourage to the VIP, they were so sound and not creeps at all! Next day I saw Proof come out of Schuh and he said hello! Lovely man! RIP

Met J P Fitzgerald (Rory mcIlroy's caddie) a few weeks back in a restaurant in Kildare. He was having a meal with relations and I asked one of his friends could I get a pic later in the evening when he was free. Shortly after, he joined our table, brought wine and was a thorough gentleman. Later that night he asked us into a local pub for a few after hours tipples. Gentleman.

Hilarious is posing on grafton street half naked in the middle of winter with only a blow up chicken for company.
A guy I know caught Glenda flouting the smoking ban in a club where he works, Glenda tried to pull the old "don't you know who I am?" spiel. He just told her to get outside before he barred her.
Is she still shagging her Grandad's mate?

Love Di Caprio! Very underrated too, one of the best actors out there in my opinion.
