Have you met anyone famous ?

Simple question really, and one that we havent had in a while.
Have you ever met anyone famous ? Maybe its a film star, TV star, someone in a band, DJ, a singer, book writer, sports star, etc ?
Maybe you have a celebrity living nextdoor to you.
Old or new, it doesnt matter who they are.

I remember being in a choir at school and Kristian Schmid from Neighbours was on stage with us. He used to play Todd.
I then met Emile Hesky in PC world ages ago when he was opening the store.
I've also met dutchman DJ Tiesto who is well known accross the whole dance music world, as well as chatting to Armin Van Buuren, another big dance DJ.

Oh and last year I caught up with Andy and Ritch from Solarstone who slipped me a free tune too which was nice.

So I guess most of the famous people I've bumped into are from the dance music scene.

A search for Isla Fisher found the thread that I'd posted in.

Sister Wendy, Stratford Johns, Ric Mayall and the lead singer from some 70's supergroup whose name escapes me--Hawkwind or something like that.

Did he miss the door and open the Curry's store next door instead.

Only "celeb" I've ever met was Johnny Ball at some maths thing when I was a kid. Seemed a nice bloke.
