When I moved to Montréal I did a lot of caterings to finance my studies. Those parties were always attended by pretty important people (Pierre Trudeau, George H Bush, Rania Al-Abdullah).
The first time I worked for that catering company, the mayer of Montréal, Pierre Bourque, sat on my table and as we served the main course I crashed against a coworker and my plate hit the back of Bourque’s head. I thought he’d freak out (having hit him pretty hard) but surprisingly he didn’t say a word (mind you he remained that way for the rest of the night).
Another time Kevin Spacey was there who, after a couple of drinks, seemed to have far more fun with our team than the people at his table.

I once went to Club Med, and at supper one night, the conversation drifted to “famous people we have met.” Talk went around the table, I once waited on such-and-such a star, I saw so-and-so at the grocery store etc etc.... and then everyone looked at me. Thing is, I had never seen anyone famous, didn’t know anyone at all noteworthy. So, everybody at the table pooled their beads and bought me a drink! It was great!
I did know two guys, when I was 21, who later became relatively famous corporate executives in the Houston oil industry. They were both supernaturally self-interested, inwardly focused, impatient and rude with others, markedly unpleasant. All of their energies were directed upward, intent upon pleasing their superiors and gleaning promotion. If that’s what it takes to be famous, they can have it.
Oh... and several years later, after running at a Houston park by a golf course, I did see Arnold Palmer getting into a rented – RENTED – Cadillac. (And he was alone, driving himself.) I said, “Hey, Arnie!” He politely paused, smiled and waved at me, and said, “How you doing, friend?” It’s obvious that some famous guys are gentelmen, and others are not.

hey Sparv did you forget you met me?!! :)
I lived and chilled in SF for many years and would see people all the time but I don’t really care and
wouldn’t run up to them or anything. Like you would see Christina Applegate in the coffee shop or some of the guys in Metallica going to the same show.
I did get thrown out of a concert by Jesse James for stage diving once when I was a kid.

I was actually married to someone quite famous. She was crowned Miss Ireland a few years ago...
Sparvogamarie said on March 21, 2005 14:13:
Oh yeah I forgot that I met the famous (or is that infamous?) Sweet Stalker! Hey I still have that Mini Marie badge you made sitting on my bookshelf back in Australia!
Sparvogamarie said on March 22, 2005 15:15:
Does Marie’s husband Micke count as a celebrity? Cos I met him today! He is the sweetest man I’ve ever met, I mean that!
eBay said on March 22, 2005 16:01:
He is the sweetest man you have ever met? Oh God, did you even really get to know him! lol
Sparvogamarie said on March 22, 2005 19:08:
You don’t need to know someone to think they are nice when you meet them! I’ve met him twice and I have to say he’s a really kind man.
Sparvogamarie said on March 23, 2005 14:23:
Oh cool Marc I always wanted to meet Celine. Is she nice? She seems like a sweet person.

I met Jon Bon Jovi after the Hyde Park Show they did back in 2003. 90,000 people! What a show! He was staying the same hotel as me (I must say that it was only a 3 star hotel!) Apparently, no one would expect him to be there, so he can be left alone. Spent about 10 mins chatting until he left. Very good way to end the night

I met the man who plays the father of the family in Alf (I think he’s called Max Wright) in Athens last summer, in the tram, for looooooooong minutes from the Helliniko Olympic Complex (where I went to watch a baseball game of Cuba) trying to get to Syntagma Square. I was not talking to him but he was sitting in front of me talking all the time to a very surprised looking American family.
Whoever was in Athens last August knows what I mean by “looooooooooong”. The rest I don’t think you can imagine :D
Mari said on March 25, 2005 10:01:
Many Finnish famous of course. And many times Per and Marie. Also met and talked with Eva Dahlgren, every member of Kent, Raisa Gorbatshova, several famous ice-hockey players (for example Mark Messier, Teemu Selänne, John “dog food” Madden, Tomas “Hoover” Vokoun, Marek Zidlicky etc), Bruce Willis, Geena Davis and lots of sportsmen.
Breathe8 said on March 25, 2005 16:40:
I liked Alf too. I never met someone famous, only Roxette and Brian May on their concerts. My big dream is take photograph with Marie and Per. Perhaps I have a little chance yet.
Marc said on March 25, 2005 23:31:
@ Sparvogamarie
Yes, Céline is very nice person. It was very short meeting. I told her few words and she gave me an autograph. I whish to meet her again.
pumpkins said on September 13, 2005 08:43:

Santi said on September 13, 2005 13:21:
Did you meet Juancho Montoya?!?! That’s so cool, I wish I could have a talk with him!!! :DD
I wonder what does a racer feel overtaking the top driver ever in the most difficult curve of the whole championship (he passed Schumacher at bus stop in Spa-Francorchamps last year!! :P)

Miss Ireland? Those are real beauties man. Ebay, which one of dem was it? Bein an Irish lad meself you’ve hit a bit of a weak spot there. Oh and by the way, which one of you was married to her?
Rebelheart said on September 15, 2005 06:46:
@ ally77:
There’s something very worrying about what you said:
“Robbie Coltrane (we shared the same life at Manchester Airport)”
You shared the same life? Are you ebay????
pumpkins said on September 15, 2005 09:52:
rebelheart, you really crack me up! I have been laughing so hard!
I wonder if we will be given a link this time?
I wonder no more. We won’t!
heatwave said on September 15, 2005 15:23:
ebay that is great.you are married to miss ireland and do you have any little miss ireland or little ebays..how cute
Rebelheart said on September 16, 2005 09:50:
No, he said he WAS married to her (we still don’t know which one of them it was or what her name is). So why did you two divorce? I wouldn’t divorce a Miss Ireland, I’d be bleedin mad to!
ally77 said on September 16, 2005 19:42:

Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon are my highlights. I screamed so much I couldnt talk for a few days.
Def Leppard boys too.
TinyBubbles said on September 17, 2005 13:12:
Lol Santi it wasnt glamorous or anything. I was pushed and shuffed till i finally made it to the front and he grapped my book and hastily scribbled what i guess is suppose to be his signature and then he pushed it back into my hands and i was pushed away by a fan..
Actually he was the only driver who bothered to take some time out for his fans that day. Nice guy.
Sparvogamarie said on March 18, 2005 15:25:
I was wondering if you guys have met someone famous and what happened. I have met Roxette, and I have also met Yeardley Smith who does the voice of Lisa Simpson on the cartoon Simpsons.
If anyone knows the Australian TV show Neighbours, I have met Harold Bishop from that show! I also could have met Eva Dahlgren but you had to buy her book to meet her and it was too expensive (sorry Judith!) So apart from Rox I haven’t really met anyone so exciting!
