Have you ever bumped into a famous person when they're not doing their job?
This was inspired by something that happened to me this afternoon in Waitrose. I was talking to a member of staff when quite an abrubt woman in a huge fur coat (she reminded me of Edina from Absolutley Fabulous) came and asked him where her trolley was- as apparently she'd lost it. The member of staff commented after she'd gone on what a strange request that was. A few minutes later I was standing in the queue and I saw the woman again with her husband- who happened to be none other than Jarvis Cocker (Pulp icon!)
I'd never approach a celebrity on their day-off but I was mildly excited to see one of my musical heroes buying milk!
Have you ever saw a famous person in an unexpected place? And would you ever approach them?!

Why should I? They have a hole in their bum as much as I have and will die at some point as will I.
Edit: I was having a drink in the pub in Belfast almost ten years ago when I saw Alex Higgins potting a few balls
I also saw Angelina Jolie up close and personal literally opened a door to the female toilets and she was on the other side in it was in Veeraswamy on regent street (indian restaurant) she smiled and her whole face lit up was like an angel smiling at you i just grinned like a complete fking idiot and held the door for her sort of astounded by how incredibly beauitful she was up close then stared as she walked out and away to her table, she was with a group of about 6 people and they were paying and leaving.
Wow!
Was this in the UK?
Did he only pay half the expenses?
No, the States back in 2003.
Is it wrong that i'm impressed by that??
You're not the only one!
I wonder if he was dressed in the velveteen pajama's he always seems to be decked out in.
I saw him in Nobu once.
(I meet off-duty celebs all the time. Comes with living and working where I do.)
I saw him wandering the sock department in M&S in Sheffield very early one Saturday morning, looking like a total sruff and grinning like a loon. To be fair, he had just tweeted that he was in M&S buying socks, and as I was downstairs in ladieswear I thought it would be rude not to go upstairs.
*Awaits Stoatie and the not at all impressive person he met once*
When she told her colleagues they thought she was a bit doolally.
Sure enough at the beginning of the next term the Emperor's son started a course. The Emperor had been there to look the place over.:)
Edit to say I also say Sharon Stone walking down a side street in Ios Greece back in early 90's. She was very pretty.
