Eastwoods a good one!
Where did you meet him?

He was so cool! I met him at a charity event (shameful that I can't remember the charity).
I got Schwartzneggar's autograph at a charity preview of Terminator 3, about a week before he announced his candidacy for governator.
He's shorter than you'd think. Shorter than me, and I'm barely six foot.
He signed the back of one of my business cards. I accidentally gave it away the same night to a PR chick I liked the look of.

Any you didn't brutally murder either of them? Or even hold a lighter next to Amanda Holden to see if her face melted, or just to burn her for the fun of it? Have you not seen her annoying expression on Britains Got Talent when Susan 'Boil' Boyle starts singing?
I'd have punched her before she opened her gob

I was 10 years old at the time...

If it was spelled like that you may not have been schmoozing the genuine article...
I bumped into Ken Loach ambling around the British museum and was more than happy to stand around and chat. In fact he looked quite chuffed someone recognised him.

You're right, I spelled his name wrong. Well done.

Yes but still....you could have seen what was coming

Yes! I win all!
I've also met and chatted with Armando, how could I have forgotten this man?!! He was very lovely.
Following on from my previous Armando post, I met Justin Edwards (Big Ben in The Thick of It) last night and he seemed a top bloke. I also met Stephen Fry but that's neither here nor there.
I worked on exhibitions for years (I'm an electrician) and so talked to and met a lot of stars. Me and my work-friend made a point of talking to them to see how they reacted.
So I will list only the unusual ones.
Sam Fox and Nina Carter topless; Sam fox gave me a signed photo 5 times, she didnt see me re-queing up.
Noel Edmunds (Ingnorant get) I said hello Noel twice as he was passing. First time he just raised his eyebrows, second time absolutely nothing. He definitely heard me say 'shortarse' as he had passed though.
Henry Cooper play sparred with me after I thought I had broken the silver lady thing off the front of a Rolls Royce. I hadn't - it just dissapeared inside the bonnet when I leant on it.
Don't know her name now but she was the beautiful blonde one from Hot Gossip. I asked her for a date between her dancing sets. She smiled at my nerve and then told me she was going out with Floyd (a black dancer in Hot Gossip)
Lional Blair bollocked me for turning the power off to the stand he was appearing on (I had no choice) So I made him wait an hour longer than needed before it was restored.
Caprice. Was nice, but understandably dull.
Feeder (at a signing)- were very nice, and Grant gave me a little kiss.
The Arctic Monkeys (I used to go out with the bassist's brother), were all dead lovely, but that was before their second (shit) album.

Did you feel extremely cool and hip?
