Circa 1996 I saw Daniel Day-Lewis hop on a yellow Triumph motorbike outside the Hole in the Wall pub in Galway. I am still not the better of it!!:p

Met Steve Coogan in Melbourne, checked Woody Harrelson and Beyonce Knowles in when I worked in Dublin airport!

Fook the celebrity culture though. I only got starstruck with Coogan and Roy Keane because I respect them so much for what they have done!!! The others - meh

All alone. Why do you ask?

On topic: I sat near Dwight Yorke on a plane once, back in his prime when he played for Man U. I asked him what it was like to be worth more than the plane he was flying on. He never played well again. I can't help but feel guilty a bit.

Also, my friend called Brendan O Connor a bollix to his face. No idea why.

Miley from Glenroe goes to my shop. He buys 6 Dutch gold and goes off on the bike with himself.

hacx · 09-05-2009 01:08PM

Tenacious D and Metallica, but I'm betting gigs don't count, do they? I saw Mary Hannafin, Derek Mooney, Brian Dobson, Mary Kingston, Paul O'Connel(I think) and the fella who did the den before FBJ.

Biggins · 09-05-2009 01:20PM

Just seen or actually met also?

If its met then...

Carl Cox
Pete Tong
John Chachini
Boy George
Cast of Battlestar Galacticia, Caprica, Star Trek, Buffy, Firefly/Serenity, Terminator films - numerous times and continue to do so.
U2 (had dinner with them)
The Spice Girls (god help me - Posh was a right snob and pain)
Too many bands to name.
Politicans and Tv people too many to list.

There's too many over all to mention.

There was a another thread somewhere similar to this and I named a few more.
I should also mention that I worked for a few of them.
