    I was in New York for a week and stayed in the same hotel as Kristen Stewart. She was pretty low key and unless you knew who she was you wouldn't think she was famous by the way she carries herself. I made small talk with her a couple of times and she seemed really nice and unassuming and kinda shy. I think she was with her mum and dad one of the times. They were a chilled out bunch. She wasn't wearing a scrap of make up and the beeyotch has flawless skin.

    I also passed by Steve Buscemi on the street! Pretty cool!

    I also passed by Caroline Morahan and Pamela Flood on Dame street :|

    Met Madonna in an airport, well when I say met, she just snubbed me completely and walked on.

    Met Lemmy from Motorhead a few years back and he was completely sound.

    And my brother met Tom Cruise at the premiere for Ghost Protocol in London, in a hotel lobby and said he was incredibly nice and very generous with his time.

    Met Derek Davis on my Communion Day in 1990 in a mothball hotel in Longford. Derek Davis, I hear you ask, was a z list "celebrity" that used to do a show circa late 80's early 90's on RTE, day time show my granny watched. Nice enough I suppose but even at the tender age of 7, I found it very strange that some random old guy, I only much later heard of from said granny, was handing kids and adults alike, PRE-SIGNED showbiz pose pictures of himself. Not even signed by his own fair hand, but signature copies!! Nobody asked for these by the way. Classy. They just don't make them like that anymore.
    Also, early 00's met Tommy Tiernan and then partner/wife walking along Salthill prom with two big dogs on a Sunday lunch time on an awful cold, windy day. I asked could i pet their dogs (love dogs) didn't notice who it was but he said of course you can. I looked up and himself and his lady were there smiling away. I laughed when I copped and apologised for bothering them, but he was a perfect gent and stayed chatting to me and my friend for about 10 minutes about dogs.
    About 8 years ago, met Chris Kamara in a bar in Tenerife with my dad. He got up to sing and dragged me up on stage with him. Bought myself and my dad shots and stayed chatting to us for about 20 minutes, even posed for several photos. Pure gentleman, really funny and warm (no pun intended).
    My brother in law was introduced to Dara O'Briain on an IDA type thing in Moscow last year, said he was the most jumped up and rude gobs#@!" that he's met and he's regularly on these trips.
    A few more minor brushes with "celebrity" but not worth mentioning
