Goodie586 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Apart from people at Cons etc who have you met that is famous? Pictures would be great too. I saw Morgan Freeman in Glasgow...making Unleased. I say saw as i was too scared to go get his autograph on my Shawshank DVD. I hope that some of you guys have some good stories and were not as shy as me. Looking forward to some pics and stories... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amylou Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Colin Firth :) He graduated with an honorary degree from my University the same year I received my BA, and was at the same ceremony as me. Afterward they snuck him out one of the many back ways (I graduated in a cathedral) while the rest of us went out the main doors. Me and my family then went for lunch in one of the Cathedral buildings and decided to take pictures in front of the main entrance after, because the light would be better. When we came out, the afternoon ceremony was just about to start, including the formal precession. As we'd all been inside when this happened for my ceremony we watched and waited until everything was cleared and ended up waiting another hour or so. We did the whole family taking pictures thing, and just as we were finishing up Colin walked past. He stopped to talk to us - I was still in my full graduation robes and mortarboard - and was incredibly polite and charming. He was a complete sweetheart with both my mum and my nan, who were both practically incoherent over him. When I congratulated him on the degree, he laughed and told me I was the one who deserved the congratulations, as I'd actually worked for mine, and asked what I'd studied and if I'd enjoyed it. His wife (who is both gorgeous and lovely!) took pictures for us, with me and my mum and then my nan (who bless, were still completely loopy over him being there). Now of course, the only graduation picture that ever gets shown to anyone ever, is the one with Mr. Darcy in it. .......Oh yeah, and I've met the Queen, but that's no where near as cool.

He arrived just before the start to take the applause then five minutes into the film he left the auditorium. He came back five minutes before the end of the film to accept the applause at the end. Then, to my surprise he just sat in his seat. It became clear when speaking to him that he must have been in the bar for the duration of the film. I remember the encounter but I am not sure he would.

ann+sara+emma+dani Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I've met a good number of famous people living in St Andrews for so long. The Dunhill Links comes every year and through that I've briefly met Bill Murray and Hugh Grant. I also met Stephen Fry who was filming in St Andrews, along with Robbie Coltrane who was coming out of a shop. Presumably on holiday. unfortunately no pics of the above encounters! I think the most impressive person I've met (to me) is Tony Robinson when I worked on the Time Team. The loveliest and most naturally funny man you'll ever meet.

screamqueen666 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Robert Englund - The one and only Freddy Kruger met him at Collectormania a few years ago and was by far the best guest of the weekend and since, very chatty and interacted well with his fans. He was sitting with his wife behind a desk and when we went to get his autograph he saw my bf's tattoos of him and got up came round to give my bf a cuddle. think this was the best day of his life.

HohoCullen Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) Errmm...well most of them are from Conventions but...out of conventions I've met... John Barrowman - book signing Billie Piper - book signing Ali Bastian - when I went to see a theatre show she was in I was on the same ferry as Alan Titchmarsh once... XD I went on a tour of the BBC studios, and it was during strictly come dancing so I saw loads of professional dancers. I love strictly :) I saw... Matthew Cutler (ran past!) Brendan Cole (he was having picture taken but he went before I had a pic with him!) Chris Hollins (not a pro but he won strictly that year :) ) Brian Fortuna (LOVE him but he was getting a coffee and we weren't allowed to go over to him ) Len Goodman (I have a pic of me and my friends with him...i'll try and find it ) Ricky Whittle (he waved at me, even though he was filming for Strictly!) and I sort of met Gok Wan, Paloma Faith, Kellan Lutz, Booboo Stewart and Alex Meraz at the Eclipse Premiere (and saw Ashley Greene from a distance - so gutted she didn't come over!!! :( ) I have pics of me with Billie Piper, John Barrowman, Ali Bastian and Len Goodman if anyone wants to see My mum met Orlando Bloom once... The most famous person from a convention is probably Jamie Campbell Bower but after October it will be Peter Facinelli :) Edited August 16, 2010 by HohoCullen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
