Redhead74 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Oh no, hang on a minute I met Warrant too back in 1990 or something. I got backstage and was all star struck.But I was really star struck several years ago in Barcelona, I saw Jean Paul Gaultier at the fruit market on the Ramblas and was too star struck to go and say hi (the fact I was backpacking and not dressed appropriately probably had an impact on my decision. Mind you he was wearing jeans and a bomber jacket, pretty close to what I was wearing, so I'm not sure why I hesitated on those grounds). He did look over at me and smiled at me and my silly star struck face, so I consider that pretty close to 'meeting'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesson learned: Red always gets goofily star struck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I shouted 'LOU YOU FUCKIN LEGEND!' at Lu Edmonds when he was coming out of a pub, he turned around and did a comical little jig then walked off into The Apollo (Hammersmith).

MB. Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) Yes, a lot actually. I am from Amsterdam. They seem to like it there.I also worked for a big sportscompany and met a lot of famous football/soccer players as well. That I liked the most.The only time I was really really embarassing star struck was when meeting Marco van Basten. I had to bring him coffee, not much in the cup left as I finally managed to give it to him, it was all on the plate. My hands just shaked so bad, it was so awkward. But common... It was Marco van Basten, this was in the '90s, in a time he was still considered a 'god' !!!! Edited January 28, 2014 by MB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronaldo9 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) I was college friends with someone who went on to play for the Harlem Globetrotters. Not necessarily a celebrity, but closest out of the people I know. Out of the celebrities I've met, Oscar Robertson and Anthony Munoz stand out the most to me.

Gracii Guns Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, ROSIE AND JIM!!!Ain't it tugging along on the old rag doll? Probably, since is was a canal boat and not a sailing boat. Not watched it in a while, so please forgive my inconsistent recital of the lyrics.
