fray101 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 How could I forget this? Never mind Robert Rodriguez - used to see Dennis Norden on an almost daily basis in Borders on Oxford St. Used to get quite worried if I didn't see him for a few days...

rel Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I used to see Barnard Hill out walking and stuff all the time when he used to live near us, which was kinda weird. Oh and I saw Micheal Jackson once at Disneyland while with my mum.....she's very short sighted and thought firstly that he was someone dressed as Goofy and then that he was a woman. We had to get pretty close for her to actually realise it was Micheal Jackson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluebizzieB Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 (edited) When i went to Showcase Cinema to see Star Wars EP3 I saw Nick Park, he was 4 rows down from where I was sitting. He was with his family. AND Whilst waiting to get a ticket at a train station at brussels, Maria Sharapova was at the front of the que. She was HOT Edited June 6, 2005 by BluebizzieB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Fooku Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Don't know if he can strictly be classed as a celebrity but I walked past a car near Earls Court many years ago that had Prince Charles sat in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_camp_predator Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 (edited) Me and my dad swear we saw patrick stewart at C7 (and not the guy who looks just like him in the Starfleet uniform) he was being shown around by a woman (we think). He walked past my dad while he was queing to get cash out of the machine and winked at him. Then we saw him later on around where ray park was signing. There is a guy who's a professional Patrick Stewart lookalike. He's on the books of a celebrity doubles agency that supplies lookalikes for parties and events etc. I've seen him a couple of times loitering around Collectormania just to see the reaction he gets from passers by. The sad thing is, he looks absolutely NOTHING like Patrick. As far as I know, the real Patrick Stewart has never been near an SM event. Having briefly met Patrick, I can say he's a little too highbrow for that. Oh, and I walked past Jimmy Hill near Cannon St tube a couple of years ago. I don't mean that guy, I saw him later that same day in the starfleet uniform. The Patrick I'm talking about was plain clothed and was being shown around by a woman. My dad was stood queueing for cash from the machine near to that toy shop that has all the star wars stuff in the window and he walked in through the entrance there and right past him and winked. The guy behind my dad was also convinced that it was Patrick. Later we saw him looking across at the guests where Ray park & Nichelle Nicholes were sitting talking to the same woman who seemed to be explaining something to him, but the crowds were manic and they quickly moved on before we could get near to him. Surely it couldn't be the look-a-like, I mean who would take the time to show him around. He's always at these type of things.

Surely it couldn't be the look-a-like, I mean who would take the time to show him around. He's always at these type of things. We're talking about the same guy. There are two Patrick Stewart doubles employed by agencies. One is a tall, bald guy who wears the 1st and 2nd TNG season uniform. . that horrible spandex one. He's the most well known one who appears at con dressed up. I've seen before at events usually doing as many fancy dress comps as he can. The other guy, the one I think you saw and the one I've been talking about, is the other lookalike. He's in his sixties, is more fat faced and saggy than Patrick, and obviously is bald. He doesn't dress up as that would give the game away. As I said, he just loiters around, not doing anything to look like he's pretending to be Patrick, but knowing that people are wondering if he really IS Patrick. He fools a lot of people even though I think he doesn't look much like Patrick. I did see the website for the agency that he works for once and his photo was on the site. But I can't remember the address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGreen Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 I guess these are celebrity sightings when you don't expect to see anyone, so here are some recent ones for me: Billy Connelly and Liza Minnelli at Heathrow (not together, but within a minute or two of each other) Bill Nighy outside Somerset House (The Strand - London) Carol Vorderman (Somerset House again, but this time ice skating on the same session as me earlier this year) Jeremy Paxman with his son on the underground Sylvester McCoy on the train That is about it for recent ones, but over the years there are loads more.

feralmoggy Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Flew to Florida on Virgin and all commentary on the inflight tv was by Jonathan Ross. Imagine my surprise when we got of the plane and found JR had been in 1st class. Of course my dad had to do the 'Alwight Jonathan' to which JR grinned and said 'Keep an eye on your bags ... you can't trust any of these guys!' :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeni Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Huh, never met any celebrity in the street... mind, I do live in Norfolk. So I only hear about them coming here in the EDP. Oh, and David, do you remember where this shopping centre was?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted June 7, 2005 Moderators Share Posted June 7, 2005 I'm not sure really .. I think it was somewhere like Milky Beans or something?! I've not been there before, was just a random place that someone said was good for shopping! To be honest I wouldn't have even known it was Elijah apart from there was oddly a big sign up with his name and picture .. it was like someone knew he was coming! Weird huh?

PsYcHoDeLiA_FrUiTcAkE Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Saw The Bassist From Placebo on the tube once, Met Gwen Steffani at heathrow and got a hug and a kiss Met the whole cast from Lovejoy if that counts cause they used to film next door to my house, Met Pancho from dirty Sanchez at Reading Festival, and Finally Joanna Lumly! When she guest starred on lovejoy got to spend like half hour talking to her and got a pic with her, she was so incredibly nice it's untrue.

Lenny Henry filming something random in a local shopping centre...dressed as a woman The great Edward Fox in a Little Chef Paul McGann sat at the table next to me in a pub in Bristol David Dickinson and some of the other random 'Bargain Hunt' people out clubbing in Bristol LMFAO!! I chatted some TOTAL bollocks to them that night...told him I liked his tie Gary Linekar in Disneyland Paris Jeremy Guscott also in Disneyland Paris Rebecca Loos walking along the South Bank, London Tony Blair and family...in Malaysia (went all that way and I still couldn't escape lol) Noel Edmonds on a train...my dad ended up sat next to him lol My mum ended up going for a coffee with Susan George after having her hair done at the same place, but didn't recognise her til I told her who she was lol!!! Roni Size buying some milk in Bristol Avid Merrion with Natalie Appleton in Waterloo Station...quite an odd mix! Wolf from Gladiators on the white cliffs of Dover (haha, I gave him a high five...I was young ok!) Loads of people in the crowds at Glastonbury, but that's kind of to be expected!! And finally, George Foreman filming an advert for his 'lean, mean, fat-reducing, grilling machine' outside the Big Thunder Mountain ride in Disneyworld, Florida Hmmm, I'm sure there are more!
