Hey Tom, what did you meet Zoe Saldana for? She's one of my favorite actresses...

OHH, how about Johnny Depp???

"Columbiana". We filmed for around two weeks in Mexico City. After working with her, she is one of my favorites too. So bright and intelligent, kind and helpful, yet totally competent and able to handle her business. And looks wise, holy cow... gorgeous. Remember her dogs at her secret lair, and then at the very end of the movie? "EAT!"

My favorite hands down was Mike Rowe from dirty jobs. A very nice and funny guy.

That's pretty cool. He seems like a fun guy.

I would love to meet Mike Rowe he seems like just a normal & cool guy.

I was two seats away from Ricky Gervais when we flew to New York last February ( British comic actor... maybe not so famous in the USA?). He's ever so short! We were flying First Class thanks to the several gaziliion airmiles my husband has earned on business trips.

My Mum's claim to fame is several visits from Anthony Hopkins, before he was famous, when she was working at County Hall in Cardiff. His student grant hadn't been paid for Drama School and he had to keep coming back in to sort things out with her.

We hung out with Ricky Carmicheal (Motocross) for a weekend in Vegas at one of his races about 12 yrs ago.

Now THAT would have me star struck! That guy is and always will be the GOAT!!! I know some people who know him, but never met him.

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???:D

No way! I live in Palmdale CA!!!!! 20 minute's from Lancaster!!! :D


My dad has a friend who's dad was the inventor of the bendy straw! :D

Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I consider our Tom a celebrity. And I've had the good fortune to meet him a couple times and I count him as a friend.
