Most of the well known or famous people I've met had nothing to do with chasing them, I met them through work.

It's pretty logical that people will end up seeing/meeting celebrities whether they are A listers or Irish celebrities. Espiecially if you live/work or holiday in any large cities. All the celebrities I've seen/met have been by going about my daily business.

For example I saw Daithi O' Se while living in America. He was filming at a Blue's Festival for TG4 and I was by no means looking out for celebs.

JamesTaylorfan

Ryan O'Neal...a big star at the time.
James Taylor....got a pic with him that I cherish.
The late English Queen Mother...at a theatre in London.
Michael D Higgins TD.
Mary McAleese, El Presidente.
Pierce Turner...nice guy, great performer.

RuthieRose

I seen Malcom O'Kelly at the weekend in Roundstone. He was walking the beach at Gurteen Bay with his girlfriend or wife (not sure if he's married) and their dog. He then got into his (09) Merc. Dog in the front Passenger seat and wife in the back:eek:

Yeah, the majority I saw were just out and about going about their business. Most of them were in London too. There are a few of my idols I did actually go to book signings and special events so I could meet them, but most I just saw while out and about.

Once met Ray Houghton in Lillies Bordello. I was buckled and don't know why I went to the kip. Not a lover of the place

Anyway on the way out of the jacks he was talking to two hotties half his age and went up to him and said, 'Ah Ray, I see you still got it!'...We all laughed...

Then I asked 'Ray, who put the ball in in English net?' He said, 'I did, I did!'. The 2 girls were like........obviously born after 1988!
