Tphi Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 For the few hours I day I'm allowed out of R-E Headquarters (where my wrists are chained to the keyboard so I'm not tempted to research.. other things online that aren't from Nintendo news) I work at the big cinema in Norwich. Yesterday, Bernard Hill (King Theoden from Lord of the Rings) came in to watch Good Night, and Good Luck and I managed to say hi to him! It rather made my day ^_^ I also said hello to Lenny Henry once on the tube while in London, and met Derren Brown (my hero - he is a God) after one of his shows. Anybody else met other famous people?

Dieter Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I've met Bill Clinton (before the Lewinsky affair), nice man he was as well. I was pretty small at the time though. Ehhh Gella Vandecaveye (sp?), female Belgian judoku, really really talented. I did karate at the time so we talked a while, nice lady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The3rdChildren Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Shigeru Miyamoto, that's really about it. My mom randomly met Prince Charles, though when she was eating in the YMCA many years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arragaun Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I've met Jeremy Beadle at a K'Nex show once, I was about eleven but I was still in awe of him. K'Nex was a bit of a let-down though. Musician wise I've met Alex K of Franz Ferdinand, Barry, Jaff and Ross of the Futureheads, all the Killers, all the Kaiser Chiefs and Kele from Bloc Party. Which are all total sell-out bands I know, but they're famous, so down they go. I talked to Serj from System of a Down while he was wandering around Manchester once. He was nice despite his horrific band of death-guys from hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I have only met Nick Brendon, good times indeed. He was really friendly and nice, especially as I think it was not long after he checked out of a clinic for alcoholism. Oh and Billy Boyd, forgot about him, he seemed very chipper.

The fish Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I've met Paul Botang, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury until May 2005 (when he held the position). His kids were (and one still is) at my school. I also saw Craig Charles (is that spelt right?) in a pub (bar to you continental folk) in my town.
