Dullest Encounter With A Celeb?
Discussion
"Borrowed" from another forum... looking for people’s anecdotes of boring meetings/interaction, recently or from donkeys years ago.
My first job was in a hotel in my home town, where the opposition players and referees used to stay when in town for games as well as anyone performing at the local theatre (generally nobody of real note) so I would take their breakfast order (tea or coffee, white or brown toast).

Mick Hucknall and his then girlfriend shared a lift with me at Heathrow airport many years ago.
He still talks about it to this day.
walking down notting hill high street when nick cave (in 3 piece suit, very much his stage look) came walking towards us eating a bag of chips.
I said to my girlfriend ‘that guy looks like nick cave’. He heard, looked at me and nodded, and we walked past each other without saying a word.

I once walked around the outside corner of a hotel we were working on carrying a scaffold board.
I almost hit the Coronation Street actor Johnny Briggs with it.
“Sorry Mike” I found myself muttering.
30 years later, I bet he’s forgotten all about his near miss.

I very much doubt he can remember a single second of his life now.I almost hit the Coronation Street actor Johnny Briggs with it.

I worked at the Civil Aviation Authority in Holborn when I left school. After one of my many visits to the smoking room the door to the lift opened to reveal that it was packed with important looking suits and Richard Branson standing front centre.
I nodded at him, said that it's a bit packed in here isn't it mate and then stood Infront of him for a couple of floors.

He’s still trying to emulate you.I nodded at him, said that it's a bit packed in here isn't it mate and then stood Infront of him for a couple of floors.
Many years ago was a passenger in slow moving traffic and noticed that les Dennis was alongside in his car so gave him a thumbs up and a wave, he noticed my wave and totally ghosted me 
Whenever I see him in tv now I just think he’s a miserable little man in real life and all the smiles are fake.

Remember Terry Thomas? Not the sixties comic actor, the ITV angling reporter who would occasionally crop up on Tiswas with Chris Tarrant.
I asked him for his autograph at an angling competition in the 1970s. "Not now" he said, and walked off.
Lucky you didnt follow him.I asked him for his autograph at an angling competition in the 1970s. "Not now" he said, and walked off.
He was obviously angling to lure you away to a quieter spot for some fishy reason or other.
I once met John Sargent at a Goodwood Revival meeting and we got chatting.
I told him that his appearance in Strictly Come Dancing was his finest achievement.
He chuckled.
/ It might have been Jo Brand.
I get them mixed up.
I was once walking down King Street in Manchestoh when I caught up with a family going the same way. The dad appeared to be trying very hard to look like a rock star: he had a fussy hair style and was a bit over dressed for a shopping trip. As I walked past however I realised he was Johnny Marr, so I let him off. Dull indeed.
