A lady at work was telling me about her niece meeting Bruce Willis a few months ago. Her niece was on a plane and was sat close to Mr Willis, but she had no idea who he was. She gathered that he was somebody famous by the way he was treated by the airline staff, so she took a sneaky photo so she could find out who it was when she landed.
That made me wonder, have the residents of GRcade had such thrilling celebrity encounters while out and about?
I am very unobservant when I am out and about and have a terrible memory for faces, so can only remember three.
Back in 1995 (
) I was at Glastonbury Festival and a mate managed to get me backstage. Oasis had just finished performing and Liam Gallagher walked past me and gave me the V sign (the peace version, not the strawberry float off version).
At the same festival, Mark Lamarr almost ran me over while he was driving a golf buggy. I think he was presenting the Channel 4 coverage that year. The prick didn’t even apologise or acknowledge me.
A few years ago (way before he became a dwarf or took his top off for the BBC), I was drinking outside a pub and Aidan Turner walked past. I recognised him from Being Human and said hello. He said hello back.
Can anybody beat those exciting stories?
