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.

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.

Guy:Incognito · 02-09-2007 03:29PM

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.

We're letting Faceman off way to easy here, c'mon faceman, clues, initials , give us something. start with Male or Female at least.

Why cant you say anyway, are they on boards? Oh the excitement.

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

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

watna · 02-09-2007 03:46PM

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!

yeah but they're generally easier to come across and could even be your neighbour!
