i have a couple weird celebrity/famous people connections:

- Gabe Kaplan (from Welcome Back, Kotter) is my 4th cousin
- Etan Patz (kid who went famously missing in the 70s) is like a 5th or 6th cousin
- My mom dated the grandson of the Where's the Beef? lady, Clara Peller, met their whole family
- My grandfather is a mild power broker in central florida, ive met many celebrities through him such as Penny Hardaway, the original Red Tails from WW2, Vanna White, etc.
- Tom Cruise's son is a friend of a friend
 
I know a couple of people who have been in reality show seasons.

All of them were really nice people and even though I only watched a few episodes of what they were in (I'm not going to fucking watch The Real World) they made them look like total dicks.

We never really talk about it though and they're still cool now.
 
I knew Tom Berenger when I was younger. My buddies parents where friends with him, and we go over to his house and he'd let us stay in his guest house and just party. He had a house on the water with jet skis and he had a pool right next to the guest house. I remember he let me take his Escalade to go pick up some movies for my buddy and his daughters to watch. I felt so gangster. I was 15/16 at the time.
 
My Uncle's had Peter Jackson in his office. Lucky bastard. Well not had Peter Jackson in his office. Guess that wouldn't be so lucky.

At one point I had Elijah Wood's phone number. Was too afraid to call it.

I'm still irrationally mad at that man after rewatching Eternal Sunshine.
 
My cousin is Ghostface Killah. I don't see him too often, but I saw him last at a family funeral earlier this year.

Also, I have played many gigs with Ingrid Michaelson. I don't know her too well myself. I'd say we are no more than acquaintances, but I am friends with her bass player and drummer, who I both have played in different bands with.
 
Miss world 2002 is a distant family, congratulated aunt when she named her newborn baby after her and visited grandma in the old country.
 
Does this count? DMX was at Riker's when I was. I saw him but never spoke to him, heh.
 
My dad knew Bob Marley, before he was famous too, and some other reggae singers. His childhood friend was big in weed in jamaica so he would hang out with him at bars and studios. He said Marley was very out going and friendly and that before Marley was famous that dude never paid for shot of rum in his life because everyone would hook him up.
 
Hayden Christensen lives about 5 minutes away from me and I've spoken to him a few times.

Man, I kinda got the short end of the celebrity-acquaintance stick :(

Damn these are fucking awesome. I'm not sure who wins. Maybe Ghostface's cousin since he broke Mase's jaw.
 
I made a plate of food for Jared Leto at Whole Foods once. No meat.

My wife's cousin sees him (Ghostface) at the gym all the time. I suppose he lives close by to us or something... (we live a few miles apart).
 
I served Seth Green dinner years ago, he was at the restaurant I was working at for a family dinner. Super nice guy (and very nice parents).

I have met a few celebrities, no real celebrities I am close with though. Lots of 2nd/3rd degree stuff.


I don't think I know anyone famous. I went to a party with Kurt Cobain when I was 13, that's about it.
Holy shit. Haven't seen anything in this thread that would make me say that until now. Was he your age? Did you talk to him? If he was a lot older than you, was this before Nirvana? What was he like?

Kurt lived in Olympia at the time, so did I. It was either 1990 or early 91. It was just a party in a basement. He was friendly. About 6 months or so later, they were the biggest band on the planet. Surreal.
 
Jordan Mechner
Ben Mattes
and
other folks from the original Prince of Persia Team (who most folks here wouldn't recognize)
A friend of mine was a pitcher for the NY Mets and now plays for the Pirates.

Plus Aunt is from one of the largest newspaper family in Pakistan...
 
I know a couple of footballers from school. They play for major clubs now (No idea which) And a lot of local semi famous musicians. Hook up with one of them on occasion too
 
Pretty good friends with the guys from Nappy Roots. Went to college together and put many a tree in the air. I try to see them when I can and get to hang in the VIP section when I do. I guess there celebrity could be argued as they really hit an exposure peak some time ago. They are still as active as ever though, making new records and staying on the road.
