Who are the famous people you've met?

[DrewsLife727]

Has anyone met a famous peron before? Like a celebrity, sports star, or someone known that is important? Just curious to know who have you met and how. I guess I'll start. I havent met much but when I went to college in Lancaster, CA (in the Mojave Desert area) I watched a elementary football game and met Cuba Gooding, Jr. from the movies "Snow Dogs" and "Radio". He was watching his son play football. Well thats one of my stories! How bout u???

I have met Don Johnson from Miami Vice and other shows. He was in my home town boat racing. Tom probably has met the most. Give us the long list Tom

 

[Tom]

Will Smith, Will Farell, Josh Brolin, Jim Carey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Rosario Dawson, Arnold Scwartzeneggar, John C. Reilly, Michelle Rodrigues, Patrick Swayze, Jay Leno, Conan O'Brian, Ellen Degeneres, Drew Carey, Russel Crowe, Quentin Tarrantino, The Cohen Brothers, Danny Aiello, Thomas Jane, Patricia Arquette, David Arqutte, Paul Ruebens, Zoe Saldana, Reese Witherspoon, Michael Jordan, Verne Troyer, Jamie Foxx... Ok. I'm tired of thinking about it now, but the list could go on and on and on...

See above... It would be easier if you just asked me if I've met someone you are curious about. This is my 17th year in the industry. I've met most of them at one point or another and sicced my dogs on a lot of them.

I know and have met several locally "famous people" (loosely used, more like big names), but nothing that would be halfway interesting to anyone outside of AZ. Chuck Norris came to my elementary school one time and I got to shake his hand.

I've been to Danny Ainge's house several times, and Donny Osmond showed up to my church a few weeks ago. Donny had a huge group of girls around him so I didn't get to say hi.

and just kidding Tom. That's already an impressive list.

How about Tom Hanks? He's one of mine and probably everyone's favorite actors.

 

[Tom]

Nope. Not yet. I tried to tell them "Wilson" should be a dog, but somebody else was just more on the ball than me...

We hung out with Ricky Carmicheal (Motocross) for a weekend in Vegas at one of his races about 12 yrs ago. We even partied with him in the Boom Boom room which I think is at the Hard Rock! It was fun. I have a pictures of us with him and his girlfriend at the time.
Steve Garvey (Dogers) at Sears when I was about 10.

 

[Seejai]

Stephan Jenkins (lead singer of Third Eye Blind) a couple times, Darin Erstad (baseball player), and.... OK, I live in North Dakota, we have slim celebrity pickings.

 

[yagyujubei]

I met **** Butkus in 1970.

 

[mainey34]

I met got a big hug and a pic with "Sons of Anarchy" Ryan Hurst (Opie.. and Layla...) we also took a nice ride with them. It was for a charity event. For abused children

 

[Angi]

My husband works with the father of the kid on' Once upon a time' . I met the dad, not too exciting. I met Diane Jacobs and a few other polaticians. Still nothing exciting. I don't even remember their names.

 

[Edna]

I had my pic taken with Michael Franti at a blues festival, and years ago I gave Ray Benson (of Asleep at the Wheel) a ride through the flooded streets of Wichita, KS. The radio station that was hosting him provided him with a tiny Honda whatever, and it made the step-side jacked up Ford truck I was in pretty attractive by comparison

 

[CtTortoiseMom]

I met Linda McMahon on Halloween at a parade and took a picture with her. My daughter met and took a picture with Jerry Springer. I have seen Martha Stewart from a far. She just looks like a normal middle aged women but she travels with security. I wanted to meet Fifty Cent when he lived in my area but never saw him .
Only boring celebs live in CT.

 

[lisalove]

Janet Jackson (unbelievably sweet and kind) Jody Foster, Michael Douglas, Kathy Ireland, Halle Berry, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Anthony Hopkins, David James Elliot, John O'Hurley, Kenny Loggins, Kurt Russell, Steven Tyler, Reba-could be more--can't remember.

 

[CourtneyAndCarl]

OHH, how about Johnny Depp???

Tom ,what do you do or did for a living? if you dont mind saying,,

 

[dmarcus]

To many to name, I was a security supervisor at the Mirage hotel in Las Vegas, so I got to do a lot of celeb escorts. My favorite hands down was Mike Rowe from dirty jobs. A very nice and funny guy.
