Have famous people ever (kinda) stalked you?

A while back my friend of mine told me that he was getting a bit worried that he was being stalked but that this stalking was by media. Himself and his mates used to hire a video (back in the day) every Saturday and watch it back in his house. One week he hired a video called Rambo, First Blood and there was a character (a sherriff) played by Brian Dennehy.

The next week he hired another video (Butch and Sundance: The early days) and who's staring out from the screen at him only Brian Dennehy.

The next week, another video and who do you think is sauntering across the screen only Brian Dennehy.

The next week Brian showed up in another video, smirking and leering at the camera. Needless to say, my mate got a bit of a slagging as he was the one hiring the 'Brian Dennehy' videos. We all laughed it off but to this day the poor guy is still a little freaked by that strange Summer!


So a couple of years ago I had a similar experience, I sat down to watch some early morning TV on saturday morning. I flicked on the TV and Battlestar Galactica was on (The old series, starring Dirk Benedict).

Later the next day I randomly switched on the TV and the A-team was on. Dirk Benedict again (Faceman, Templeton Peck).

So a couple of days later a friend of mine loaned me a copy of one of the 'Zork' computer games and during one of the video cut-scenes we are introduced to a guy who will help us on our quest...Dirk Benedict...again!

So the next weekend Ryan Tubridy introduces his next guest on his TV show...yup, Dirk Frickin' Benedict.

Since then Dirk has invaded my life He was on celebrity big brother and he stares out at me from boards.ie every day in this guise.

Has anything like this ever happened to you before?

/Oh yeah, lest I forget...yore ma, I for one welcome our stalking overlords...cliché, cliché

They all do it. Every single one. It's because they know where I live.

They're outside right now!

Help me.

If I have them locked in my basement does that count as them stalking me?

Just asking is all. Not that I have anyone locked in my basement or anything. :cool:

Incidentally - don't expect to hear any new releases from Razorlight any time soon.

Apparently Brian Dennehy lived somewhere in north-west Cork for a short period in the nineties. My dad told me a friend of his became friends with Brian Dennehy at some stage - apparently Dennehy and my dad's friend spent a legendary day getting trollied the day of some rugby International in Dublin at some corporate shindig. According to the word on the street Dennehy loves his Guinness and is sound out/great craic. Must question my da further on this.

Would have been very funny if you're friend had run into him somewhere around Ireland.

Pat Kenny humped my leg once but then I told him "this is my field" and scared him away*

*The Pat Kenny bit may be imaginary.

I did have a bit of a stalker episode once - paid my electricty bill in person once, about two months later was out in the pub, got talking to a random female, she was able to tell me where I lived.:eek: This freaked my out. She was the one I had paid my electricity bill to two months previously. The fact that this randomer remembered me and my address - down to apartment number two months later :eek:I backed away. I made my excuses and left [the country - a while later for entirely seperate reasons]

Edit: Just checked IMDB and apparently he owns a small cottage in Ireland.

Are you sure about that?

It sounds like something that would happen.

I went on holliers to Clare once and I decided to go to the The Very Dark Caves (where it's almost like being blind).
Who did I see outside but Richard Wilson. My mate told me to go up and say the catchphrase which I did but the moany git started getting snotty with me.
I saw him later inside the cave and he called me a bastard!
As my mate says: "It's true what they say, you should never meet your heroes, you'll only be disappointed."

You really sure about that?

A clique (IPA:/'klɪk/) is an exclusive group of people who share common interests, views, purposes, or patterns of behavior. ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clique

Cliché
An expression so often used that its original power has been drained away, such as "dead as a doornail."

Dont think this fits the criteria but some mad swines keep following me due to mistaking me for the liverpublian actor Andrew Scofield :eek:

They just wont accept i am not him but his lookalike Alvin stardust

skittle_fingers

some time last year i'd had enough of shia lebouef being in every movie that was released, so i'd watch older/ less mainstreamy stuff, only to find he had a frigging bit part in EVERYTHING*

(* may not have really been everything, but it dang well felt it!)

Siobhers

Ryan Reynolds...didnt even know who he was till he started stalking me and my friend on holidays

mc nuggets

Tom Jones, for about two weeks every time i turned on a radio or walked into a room with music playing he seemed to be on. Then on a flight to the states the only thing that was on the in-flight tv was a documentary about him...


I wonder is this common??

Caught that bloody Morgan Freeman going through my garbage again this morning. I'm getting sick of this. He can afford to buy his own bin-liners.

I see Neil Hanan from the Divine Comedy all the time. Convinced he is stalking me.
