    Noel Gallagher walked past me and the mrs in the mgm in vegas we ignored him. Knob was walking through the hotel lobby in his dressing gown giving it socks to the receptionist, started to swagger round when he heard our accents.

    This guy made Justin Bieber take a picture of him and Selena Gomez, and then walked away.

    bernard dunne was in my town there a couple of years ago(1 week after he was knocked out by a guy in the 1st round), he was refused entry into the night club at the end of the night, he said to the bouncer do you know who I am? the bouncer said I do, I was up to see you fight in the O2 last week, you were shite lol.

    I am not in the business of burning anyone, even if celebs are a rather annoying bunch.

    I found myself standing behind George Clooney in our local chipper one night last year.He was holding up the queue as he wouldn't pay fifty cent extra for a sachet of tomato sauce for his batterburger,saying loudly "The tomato catsup is always included with my burger at Di Luca's on Rodeo Drive in Hollywood, and they always give you a shovel of chips for choice inanyways" Seizing my chance, I took out my lighter and ignited his tuxedo, causing him some light charring before Stefano put out the fire by tossing a two-litre bottle of Lemon Fanta over the screaming star of such movies as Up in The Air and Oh Brother Where Art Thou. Fair play to him, when he calmed down he saw the funny side of my little prank, and we had a good laugh about it . That is the only time I burned a celebrity, although I did push Beyonce against a hot radiator at a glamorous Vegas party one night, but luckily she was wearing her fireproof bloomers, and didn't feel a thing.

    He MADE the BBC!!

    So, to answer your question, I have no idea.

    When a guy I went to school with who's now a comedian tried to look cool by introducing me to Andrew Maxwell I didn't have a breeze who he was and said "so your a mate of John's from UCD then?".
    Andrew Maxwell looked like he couldn't care less but the other guy was shooting me filthies for ruining his big moment.
    I don't know if he counts as a celeb but it happened about 3 years ago and he was on the telly a good bit back then.

    Yeah, I set Gordon Ramsays eyebrows on fire once, he was not happy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,537 ✭✭✭Arthur Beesley


    Kurt Angle was singing autographs in HMV on Grafton Street and when he finished, he was hurried out the back doors. Some kids dad was there asking him nicely for an autograph for his kid and Kurt told him ''no'' and proceeded to jump in to his van.
    The man replied, in typical Dubliner style ''Ah Kurt! Don't be gay!''
    I cracked up laughing. Still makes me laugh to this day

    Would yer man not have queued like the rest of them?

    I never burned a celeb but I think I embarrassed one. I was in a bar in Stockholm when Udo from Accept (80s heavy metal band for you kids) came in, sat down and started drinking. It was a rock bar full of old rockers so you'd think they'd be a bit excited but it looked like no-one recognised him. So I stood up, pointed at him and loudly declared "Look, it's Udo from Accept!" My Swedish friend came over and said "Ssh! That's not very discreet!" Turns out everyone had recognised him but they were doing the typical Swedish thing of not wanting to embarrass someone by drawing attention to him.

    Not really a burn, and it reflected badly on me but had a happy outcome...

    A good many years ago I walked into The Norseman pub in temple Bar. I had a few pints on board as it was, was a regular in the shop and knew most of the patrons there on a Friday early evening. Anyhow, when I went in there was a guy on his knees, singing "Up Town Girl" to one of the women regulars. I just looked and said in a very loud voice "Jasus, look at yer man, he thinks he's Billy Joel!!" Everyone cracked up laughing... it was Billy Joel!! He came in for a few pints, and intergrated into the afternoon crack in the pub :D

    I ended up sharing a few rounds with him and his group. A really decent bloke. No airs and graces on him at all. It took me ages to live that one down!!

    Once worked in a bar and completely ignored Jimmy from Fair City for no reason. Still haunts me to this day.

    Saw a bouncer tell a Fair City actor who was on his own and tried to breeze into a nightclub without bothering to queue to go away and that he was barred.

    Was one of the funniest things ever as the Fair City actor tried the whole "I'm on the telly" thing and it was blatant that the bouncer didn't even remotely believe him and had him down as some weirdo chancer pretending to be famous.

    There wasn't even that many in the queue and no-one but myslef and my mate really seemed to notice but we were in absolute bits watching the whole thing.

    I have never seen any in my life looking more shamefaced and the fact that he saw us completely unable to control our laughter once he turned around as he slunk away musn't have helped.

    I worked in a big hotel in Bowness-on-Windermere in the English lake district as a night porter years ago. There was a private party for Border tv going on and I had to clear up. One of them said his good nights and went up to reception for his key. I got there just after him. I asked if I could help him. He said in a snotty voice, give me my key. certainly sir, and just stood there. My KEY, he said. Right sir, whats your room number please? I don't know, look in the register. Right Sir, what name is it. He went purple and looked like he was about to blow. Bragg, Melvin Bragg. Gave him his key and he stormed off.

    I could not stand the man, pompous twat.

    He is now Lord Bragg, a Labour lovie.

    Brendan O'Carroll stopped to ask me and my friend for directions once upon a time. We were about 10 and wary of strange men in cars so I mumbled something random and we ran off. My friend recognised him but ran with me anyway. That kind of counts?

    In Tallaght by any chance?

    :eek: What a prick! And I thought he seemed like a pleasant old chap from seeing him present The South Bank Show.

    I was lighting a fag for Elvis once and my hand slipped, burned his nose a little. He had his cock in his hand at the time - for the rude bit.

    I was in a music store years ago, and someone was being interviewed outside, didn't see who it was. Buy my stuff, and try to get out the door, some twat is just standing there blocking the way talking to a chick. I stand there for a while, and the dude looks at me and says "D'you want something or what?" I said "Yeah, could you fucking move?" Turned out to be Brian McFadden from Westlife.

    When I was a about 10 I was at a hotel where the Ireland team were staying and I was getting autographs from the players, mark Kennedy grabbed my book to sign it to which I replied "sorry who are you" he wasn't best pleased

    Not a rude celebrity as such and, as far as I remember, he might have been a pretty nice guy.

    Anyway, back when I was younger they used our school as the set for a movie named Bad Karma (Hells Gate). It starred Patsy Kensit and Patrick Muldoon, who was in Starship Troopers. One day, during lunch, my classmates and I were chatting away to Muldoon, when the typical question of, "so do you know anyone famous?" came up. Can't remember who he said, but I asked, rather dramatically, "Do you have Britney Spears' number?" When he, alas, said no, I turned my back and walked right away, much to the amusement of fellow classmates.

    I regret it now, because as an adult Starship Troopers is one of my favourite Sci-Fi movies of all time and he did have a pretty big part to play in it and, in hindsight, I should have really asked for Denise Richards' phone number.
