    Met Hugh Jackman, Daniel Craig, James Gandolfini, Jeff Daniels, Jude Law and Gary Sinise all on the same evening at a theatre celebration in New York in '09.

    The missus was like a kid in a sweet shop, I was less pleased. Marcia Gay Harden was the only half famous actress at the damn thing.

    What a total scumbag thing to do in both instances

    I agree. The second one was just cos he didn't like him. I never thought it was a cool thing to do.

    Admittedly the Gallagher one was more of a friend of a friend, and he lamped him after he asked for an autograph and LG told him to f**k off or something.

    The bottle-thrower friend has some crazy ones (he's from the USA). He met Kurt Cobain about three times, had his head shaved by Kim Deal on stage at a festival, got told to f**k off by Eddie Vedder (on front of a 12 year old girl) and Frank Black was also rude to him about something else. I can't imagine Billy would've been that pleasant either.

    "Celebs" are not paid to be nice to you, rudeness isn't grounds to vindicate assaulting people

    I agree! I'm not saying he / they were right at all! It was just a celebrity "encounter" that came into my head.

    All the celebs I've met have been cool. Even the likes of JK, who I stopped in the street, or Bono, who's car window I knocked on so I could say hello, were chatty, friendly, and pleasant. Mike McCreedy was with his wife and baby and he even introduced me to her. Evan Dando, post-gig, stood up and shook my hand. Colm Meany would've been great to have a pint with. Lars was really friendly.
