and dude was a dive

 

[Dacvak]

I went a bit out of my way one E3 to meet Miyamoto and Reggie. Also once scheduled a time to meet the mythbusters in their workshop when I was in town, it was super fun hanging with them. Other than that, most of the celebrities I've met were just due to work, so I wouldn't say I went out of my way. I feel like I've met a ton in my life, though.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Ran into this dude, one of my all time favourite celebs whilst walking around Versailles, he was with his GF/Wife, he sat across from us in the little garden cafe and then we proceeded to bump into them as we both explored the gardens and fountains, never once went up to him and when we both ended up standing side by side for one of the fountain shows I was gonna ask him to take a photo of the wife and I, perfectly normal behaviour between adults my wife bottled it ffs

That's odd, I bumped into richard ayoade on one of the M4 service stations, I was busting for a pee, ran into the toilet as he was coming out..

I swear to god it actually was a scene from the I.T crowd, I went to go past him but he kept going the same direction

Then he went full on Moss, stuck his arms beside him and went 'sorry sorry'

I got in the car, told the missus and she didn't believe me

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Corrected thank you

 

[Sybrix]

I wouldn't.

For what reason would you want to meet a celebrity? To tell them you think they are amazing? They wouldn't want to know some nobody thinks there're great.

I think being a celebity must be one of the worst things ever.

The price you pay for fame and fortune isn't worth it, i would hate the fact that you couldnt walk down the street or shop or go to a pub/bar without someone asking for your autograph ain't worth it.

I'm a huge music fan and admire so many musicians, i think alot are geniuses, but i wouldn't want to meet any.

 

[user friendly]

About as far as they would go to meet me.

 

[Mondai]

I wouldn't go out of my way to meet someone who doesn't give a shit about me

 

[Esca]

I'll go as far as a nearby convention. I've met a few at Megacon. Two years ago met John Davies to sign a drawing of Gimbli and he was hitting on my mom lmao

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Honestly, what's the point?

Imagine being one of those people who stand in line just to snap a photo with someone famous.

You don't know them. They don't know you. It's two strangers frozen in a frame, and you are pretending there's a story behind it

The desperation in this kind of behavior is unreal

And sure, there are exceptions, maybe you catch a moment of small talk at an event or a casual exchange that feels genuine. That's fine. I'm sure there are celebrities out there who actually enjoy interacting with fans. But you're just a passing face in a long line of strangers

It's like concerts, what's the point of being up front and paying more?

They don't look at you directly. What's the point of taking photos of the artist in the concert if they're not right next to you?

 

[Grildon Tundy]

The one that came to mind was Richard D. James (Aphex Twin). But he's a total introvert, so I think I'd want to see him DJ and leave it at that. If he ever performs within a state or two of me, I would make the trip.

I mean, what am I gonna say to him, "Your music rewired my brain and changed the way I experience music"?

"'Sup?"

 

[Shaki12345]

I would do everything in my power to leave them alone. These are normal people with a private life like you and me. They are not objects.

I find it really sad how people put celebrities on a pedestal.

 

[diffusionx]

ok coomer

 

[jason10mm]

Saw a 12 SUV convoy with police escort today, highly likely it's Tom Cruise as he is in town.

Couldn't be bothered to walk 100 meters in the blazing texas sun to actually find out. And that's for TOM FUCKING CRUISE.

And I just wanted to yell "You tha bomb in Legend, yo!" at him to see if he'd get the reference

 

[NinjaMouse]

When I was younger, I'd wait in line for an autograph or something, but older me couldn't really care less. Unless you share some commonality like working on the same project or having kids in the same activity, the chances of you having a meaningful random interaction with a celebrity are near zero, I'd think.

 

[bad guy]

I'd pay about tree fiddy for EviLore bathtub water.

 

[Darchaos]

If the Celebrity paid me well i could probably take the time to meet him/her/shit/dog/ass

 

[jason10mm]

I'd pay about tree fiddy for EviLore bathtub water.

Wild, I paid tree fiddy to pee in his bathwater before he bottled it....he's working both ends!!!!

 

[OverHeat]

not far

 

[Nocty]

I was at daylesford farm shop in 2023 wth my wife and golden retriever and we bumped into david beckham at the coffee stand. He said hello, stroked my doggo, asked for a mocha and a croissant and left.

Thats my claim to fame. It was pretty funny because I didnt realise who it was until just after he left when someone said 'that was david beckham'. He had a tweet flatcap and a beard so I didnt recognise him at all. We saw him leave on the way out in an extremely expensive looking sports car.

 

[Mobilemofo]

I could not give a fuck, honestly. I'd rather play a few rounds of diablo 4 and watch brasseye on repeat.

 

[Plies]

I'd walk across the street for Angela White

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

depends how hot she is and whether I can bang her

 

[Soodanim]

If someone whose work I've enjoyed happened to be in a pub I was in I might pop over at a quiet moment and say hello/cheers/well done, but off the clock these people are just people so depending on their level of recognition I might not even bother with that and keep it to a quick head nod. Even the idea going over feels a little bit weird, if it wasn't a natural introduction I definitely wouldn't force it.

The celebrity worship stuff is something I can't relate to, it just ain't me.

 

[Ammogeddon]

As far as the crawl spaces between their walls, but no closer.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Australia's second best.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Give her a Google. Just not at work

 

[Plies]

Give her Google.

I wonder if she ever paired with the guy mentioned in the OP?

 

[Melon Husk]

Front door

 

[Plies]

Back door

 

[Days like these...]

I used to work @ Target many years ago. One of the backstreet boys was in there shopping for electroincs. I could not give a shit about him or any celebrity at all to the point I'd like to meet them

 

[OzRinlvs]

I'd open the door if they visit.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

I'd walk outside and knock on a neighbors door.

They live next to me so they are famous by default.

 

[deriks]

Depends on if I'll have some time or just a picture

I see them as "leave me alone. I just want to walk and get some fresh air", so basically I fine not meeting anyone

But sometimes I see this:


Even the officer got into the vibe. The man is a personification of fun. I want to have a gym training and hangout a little with him

How'd you even know he was a Backstreet Boy, though?

Because I don't live under a rock. That's not the gotcha you think it is chewed up dilo man

 

[Plies]

Because I don't live under a rock. That's not the gotcha you think it is chewed up dildo man

I thought you would say that someone else told you who it was.

So yeah, it is a gotcha, you undercover Backstreet fan.
