What famous people have you met?

starlight07

On a flight home from Hawaii my friend was sitting directly behind Shia LaBeouf (main fella from transformers) she said hes hotter in the flesh and a really nice guy.

What famous people have you met and what were they like?

Going and coming back from Tenerife, I saw Daniel O Donnel as he was on the same plane. He actually stopped and leant against my chair while someone in front was putting their bag in the over head compartment.

Seemed just as smug as slimey as ever.

What was MATT DAMON like? MATT DAMON!!

Leeby

Colin Farrell - about two weeks ago on Baggot Street, I stared at him til he turned around and saw me, he looked a bit freaked out by the crazy staring but he just said "how'r'ya luv" and went on his way.

Tom Hanks - took a break in filming Saving Private Ryan to come and say hi to us cos it was my cousins birthday and some of the crew we'd been talking to asked him to come out and say hi cos it was Toms birthday too.

Then the much more distant ones - Never met him but apparently I'm unfortunate enough to be related to Daniel O'Donnell, also my dog used to belong to The Edge (U2)

I met him in the K Club in Straffan a few months ago, he looked like shi.t and was a moody git to be honest.

This same subject is covered in Shobiz & celeb(is that what itsa called?)

Anyhoo, Met Ian Wright (and got a pic with him) at the Accropolis the day after the CL final. Played indoor against Tony Ward (does he count?) a few times.

Quality, thats a conversation I'd have liked to have had.

Terry

Had breakfast with Jerry Hall. Had no idea who she was at the time (about 20 years ago).
Had a chip fight with Keith Richards and Ron Wood.
Went to school with one of the guys from Bellx1.

biko

Used to arrange gigs so have met quite a few but really liked The Cardigans and SAXON.

I sat next to Bono in a restaurant in Dalkey once. He was having dinner with his wife and two younger kids. He was telling them, in a really loud voice that he wanted everyone to hear, that he had to go away or a while because he was going on tour and they were to be good for mummy. And he kept his sunglasses on the whole time too. The same night Pat Kenny and his wife and Sinead O'Connor and Neil Jordan came in for dinner too. I also drve past Colin Farrell in Sandycove and I must have been staring (I couldn't remember how i knew him) he had a fag in his mouth and raised his hat at me. I also saw Nicholas Lyndhurst (Rodney in only fools and horses) outside BT once. Not too exciting so!

oooh i went the pro-am golf competition in adare golf club a year or two ago and i met and chatted to.....
-Gary Linekar
-Keith Wood
-Peter Gallagher aka. Sandy Cohen from the O.C
-Vijay Singh (such a nice guy!)

others there but didnt stop to talk to anyone were Michael Owen, Martin McAleese, PAdraig Harrington and of course Tiger..who was surrounded by a group of personal security guards and didnt even acknowledge the crowd which was a bit disappointing!

i also bumped into damon alburn in dublin airport when i was really young cos i was runnning around a corner and wasnt watching where i was going..but i was too young to know who he was at the time, which is probably a good thing!

I was working in a cafe in Coal Harbour, Vancouver and Jessica Alba was filming a movie right beside us!! she was actually really friendly but didnt buy anything in our cafe cos our coffee was really ****!!! but my friend was workin in a fab gelato cafe beside me and Jessica was in there a good bit and was always up for a chat..i think it was my friends Kerry accent that was the main selling point there tho:)

Cheeky_gal

Oh and David Toms...

Yea thats right...

Bring it bitches!

Driver 8

Peter Buck (R.E.M.), a gentleman.

Both members of the Dresden Dolls, and The Watson Twins, but they're not really famous to be fair....

My father once called me from work, which he never does, to tell me "I'm just standing here between Bono and Robert De Niro".....the picture of said meeting is priceless.
