I flew a few years ago from Heathrow to Toronto and was on the same flight as John Cleese. I had no idea until I saw him standing by the luggage carousel.

Discuss all Celebrity run-ins or meet ups you had. This can include seeing in Concerts.
- Ran into Billy Joel at a local bar right after he got into a bar fight and ambulance was called 😬
- Met the Goo Goo Dolls (best know for song “Iris”) at a recording studio from tickets I won over the radio back in the 90’s. I was maybe 7 and didn’t realize
how big of a deal this was. They refused to give autographs the manager wouldn’t let them. 🤦♀️
- Go to speak to Singer Natalie on webcam from Cascada, a German band (best know for song “Everytime we touch”) I had her manager on Facebook and he let me know how to call, it was her birthday so I got to wish her a Happy Birthday and she sent me a signed autograph 💕
- I went to High School with Natalie Portman, but never actually met her face to face she was older in a different grade.
- Distant relative of JFK from his Irish heritage (the President)
As for concerts I was close to stage at Katy Perry concert, and front row at Tove Lo concert. She tends to flash the audience every concert 🫣

Famous? Why, yes, I have. Donald J. *****.
SoCal/El Lay native, saw many "faces" but never intruded (exception: the player's gate at Dodger Stadium). Visiting my parents in Palm Springs, 1977, daughter was 6 y/o. We were in a favorite store called Bed, Bath & Me. Gramma was in dressing room, I was browsing, daughter understood Not Ours, Don't Touch and therefore was free to roam. Kept hearing her laughing, wandered over, she was hiding beneath a clothing rack,. Uh oh, lunch location depends on behavior, Let's Discuss! Just about to open my mouth when Mr Roper from Three's Company rounded a corner, obviously intending to incite daughter to further misdeeds. Holding his wife's purse, he laughed and pointed at daughter, saying "She started it!" I laughed and said "Maybe she started it but both of you are in big trouble." We chatted for a few and he pulled a silver dollar from his pocket and offered it to daughter after asking my permission with a nod. Nice guy, good sense of humor. Icing on the cake, he flinched when I walked past him while he was paying for wife's purchases.
Well I have not officially met greatness but I have been in the presence. 100 years ago I was at a high school football game one Friday night and who should show up with her senator husband (can't remember which one she had so many) but Elizabeth Taylor. This was back in the late 1970s. She came up to the opening from the stadium where I was seated. I would say she was about 6 rows up and waved. I remember her looking pretty good but my memory may be slipping .....
US Senator John Warner. Yes I'm old enough to remember 🤣🤣🤣
While I was growing up in SoCal mom & stepdad did the 3.5-hour drive to Vegas every 4-5 weeks, always staying at the Sands or the Dunes. Is it sad that as a kid I memorized those phone numbers? Stepdad was a Sinatra fan, mom loved Dean Martin and named our dog Dino (which was hilarious during the Flintstones intro). Stepdad's game was craps, mom played blackjack and during one memorable night at the Sands Dean Martin stood in for her dealer for about an hour. Many will say "that is illegal" and they are right but rules were made to be broken in Rat Pack Vegas. (He drove for a bootlegger and was a welterwelt boxer, a croupier and a blackjack dealer before he was a singer). She said he was stunningly handsome, flirty AF and smelled divine. She pretty much arrived home in a daze.
We met Mohammed Ali back in 1989. We have pictures of him holding our 5 month old son.

I would have been the same as your mum I loved Dino almost as much as Elvis two stunningly beautiful men who apparently were even more stunning irl than any photo of them
Years ago I worked with a woman who used to hang with his crowd when he as a young man (I believe in Michigan?) His real name was something like Dino Martini, she told us.
