iv never met a celeb i just wanted this to be the 4000th post of this thread

Ooops! Close, though!

Ugh, Meat-Head I call him. I was in the audience of a variety show he was guesting on in Australia in the mid-90's and he was as rude, brash and arrogant off camera as he was on. During one of the breaks he made an insulting remark about a well known Sydney landmark he'd been taken to visit and got a bit of booing and hissing from the audience which threw him for a while. He had his daughter with him on that visit and I recall that she'd tried to get herself and a friend into some industry gig that everyone who was anyone in the business was attending and she was refused entry because security did not believe her when she said 'But I'm Meatloaf's daughter!'.....interesting really because she looked exactly like him

has anyone ever met CJ from Eggheads or know any stories of him?
me & my partner were watching last night and wondered if he is just playing up his 'character' or if he is actually like that??

Maybe he didn't want to be seen as interfering.

I remember the columnist saying that she asked him for help though and he refused, which is what led to her mentioning it in her article.

I met Iggy Azalea last year. It was backstage, she was surrounded by people spraying at her hair and tugging at her clothes, but I thought I couldn't pass up the opportunity and when she turned in my direction, I told her she looked gorgeous and asked for a picture. Much to the dismay of the manager-like character she was with, she was very sweet and said "yes of course!" and put her arm round me.

Stephen Fry- lovely charming, very approachable and down to earth.

Jack Dee- also very lovely and friendly.....i really wasn't expecting him to be so nice!

Bill Nighy- so charming! really nice guy!

Ben Kingsley- a lot nicer than I expected....

Kevin Spacey- stuck up, pompous, bad vibe!

Sol Cambell- very aware of his "celeb status"

Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn- very very friendly and down to earth! Delightful, they were so nice.....

James Blunt- very nice guy. Easy to talk to, very chatty. He's pint sized!

Frank Skinner- delightful...he's exactly like he is on tv...really really friendly, funny, interested in other people...love him!

On another note, has anyone ever met Robert DeNiro or Tom Hanks? They would be on my dream list of people to meet...I would be totally speechless though....

Oh no... That is very disappointing to hear as I am a huge fan of his and think that he comes across very well on chat shows...

In fairness to the 'Loaf, I think he has acknowledged that he was off the rails in the 90's, and he is a bit more bearable now.

That's funny about Kevin Spacey, my sister met him last year in London and said he was really nice, he waited a few minutes with her while she was working out how to use her camera! She said he was hilarious and was making my niece laugh, who was only six and had no clue who he was

I too wonder if Kev was just having a bad day or if the poster you were replying to got the wrong of the stick as a former collegue of mine got his autograph for the guy she's now married to and said he was fine - he seemed to be a bit disapointed that my collegue hadn't been the show he was directing but that's understandable.

To come back to Paul Merton - a mate of mine works in the West End and he said that when Merton did a show he was involved with his dressing room absolutely stank of weed afterwards - so maybe he was too stoned to notice anything around him.

I have actually met him about 5-6 times (work related) and me and all of my colleagues were of the same opinion. He's very obnoxious and pompous....and there is something very creepy about him...

Also just to add- these weren't short, brief meetings- We were in his "company" for hours a a time.

Maybe he's only "nice" to fans that ask for his autograph and gush about how wonderful he is.....

Forgot to add 2 of the most famous people I have met:

Bill Clinton- extremely gracious, funny, down to earth and very charming! He was surrounded by about 30 bodyguards though, although I managed to stand right next to him and chat for about 5 mins. Love him.

Valentino- very polite, unassuming and charming. Was very quiet and didn't speak any English but he was very pleasant and well mannered.

Oh and to add:

John Major- He was very very polite and extremely charming. Totally unassuming and down to earth.

George Takei was lovely, Saw him in pantomime a few years ago alongside Barry from EastEnders. Shaun Williamson went straight home immediately after the show (common practice for him apparently) but George stayed behind for ages signing autographs and even took a photo with me & my family twice after our camera failed to work properly.

Shame about JM's political leanings though. I'd like him more. (Mind you, there was a recent comment attributed to him refering to him meeting a political adversary with the words 'I thought you were dead!)

Jarvis Cocker very nice The Prodigy great guys so polite , Mel C wow beautiful lady ,

This is not the silent film star who died in the 1920s, I presume.

Meh, surely that's a good thing, he's nice to his fans, a lot of stars aren't.

Maybe he didn't like you guys that much either, and didn't want to be in your "company" for that long. We all have work commitments that we don't like.

haha! no...the designer

Errr....there's such a thing as being civil and polite. His entourage were total fake douche bags as well, very pretentious...just like him....

My mum has crushes on Clinton and Major, I think she'd have less competition for the latter.

Clinton is definitely a charmer...I can see why women fall for him. Having said that, John Major was also extremely charming and polite!

When Bill Clinton came to Birmingham in 1998, I believe there were billboards around saying "Get hair done Granny, Bill Clinton's coming to town". It wouldn't surprise me if he was a totally charming and charismatic person to meet. I know he had a drink with a couple at the James Brindley and the Secret Service took away the glass he'd drank from and smashed it up. I saw Air Force One on the runway as I had to drive past Birmingham Airport to go to work in Solihull. I also heard Concorde take from the airport when it had picked up the US Ryder Cup Team after playing at the Belfry. Oh the memories!!
