At some point in most of our lives, we've met a famous person. Whether it be a local celebrity or a major pop star, we have all had interesting run-ins with the famous. I thought it would be fun to share some such stories where we call all read the cool, spontaneous, or even awkward moments we've had when meeting a celebrity.
This past year I've met a lot of celebritie, but the best meeting story of all came when I met the singer Katy Perry.
I was at lunch when suddenly I got a cellphone call and it was a friend of mine saying she put my name in a raffle and I won. I then asked what it was and she told me. I then asked if she was serious (because that'd be a great prank) and she wasn't kidding. The next day, Katy was doing a small show in my hometown and before she went on, I got to go backstage and meet her in the makeshift dressing room for her outside gig. I don't remember it at all.
All I remember walking in and shaking her hand and that's it. I forget what we talked about, but I do remember saying I felt like her when everyone was taking photos.
I have also had a chance encounter with former United States President Bill Clinton last year. He was about to leave a venue and I asked for a photo very quietly in his direction (didn't even think he heard me) and he responded back "what?" I then repeated my question and he said, "Yeah, come over, come over." I was freaking out inside when he said this I had my photo taken (I look so excited in the photo) then after the photo was taken Bill Clinton patted me on the back.
To this day, I look at the photo and think, "how in the world did this happen?"
Anyway, those are two of my famous people stories. What do you guys have?
