What celebrity(s) have you unexpected run into? What was your impression of that meeting? Did it change what you thought of that person?
Some of the more interesting ones I've met were Oprah, varied news personalities, and the mayor of Chicago, Richard M. Daley three times. My career at that time afforded me the opportunity to be closer to him than his security detail for the duration of his visit. (Even more interesting, my mother met his father Richard J. Daley because of where she worked, and he would greet my mother every day by name.)
Once, I even saw George Lucas 10 feet from me near work, and I literally had to do a triple take and process what I was seeing because I didn't believe it was him at first. The movie setup where I was at should have been the clue - yes, that was really him. It was also interesting being able to freely talk tech with the crew there because we had authorization to pass the security barriers.
My current career brings me into contact with current celebrities as well, but the NDA won't let me say who yet. I see a lot of "recording artists" come through, and I've met several of them. The ones who actually remember me from the last time they saw me tend to stand out more. I've also run into the "who are you, peasant?" types as well.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

"Oh man, I'm sorry," I said, still not realizing who I was talking to. I'd bumped into him while walking through the terminal and looking longingly into a bar.
"It's okay, I run into things all the time!" says Chuck Norris.
"Hey!" realizing who he was, "Nice to meet you" (shaking his hand) "I'm a big fan of Walker Texas Ranger!"
He just smiled said thanks and off he went.
It was only later when I got un-starstruck that I wish I had said, "What was it like learning from Bruce Lee?" or "Delta Force kicked ASS!!"
But no. I go to Walker Texas Ranger first.
I'm such a moron!
