The biggest "celebrity" I've met was "Indiana Jones's brother" in 1st grade at an Assembly. I believed that for longer than I should have... no direct interaction.

But actually last year when my mom and I were visiting LA walking on Hollywood BLVD, there was a premiere of The Curse of La Llorona and there were a few celebrities there, but I had no idea who they were but people were loud and cheering, so I assume they were pretty big and I don't think they were part of the cast. The only one I found out for sure was the director of the movie, the rest I don't know. That's just the closest I've been to seeing celebrities, nowhere close to doing something dumb with them. But since you asked, have you? I'm interested.

Well, kinda. See my comment.

Lol I’ve met Obama

Really?

Yeah

I’ve never met a celebrety

I met a famous musician at an airport once. I was in awe but could only think to ask for autograph...

I met Taylor Hicks at an event last year. I was a huge fan of his when I was a teen, and I even got to see him in concert once.

Anyway, I was going to tell him about how much I loved his music and the fact that I tried to meet him after one concert. However, it all went out the window when he asked me for my name (for the autograph). I froze for about five seconds before blurting it out.

I mean, I've met the author of the book series World of Norm (IDK if anyone's heard of it)...But I did talk a lot...Normally I'm too much of a wuss to talk to people.

If I see someone famous, I leave them alone because in nearly all cases, that's what they'd prefer be done.

Not my own story, but I worked with a guy whose brother lives in San Diego and ran into Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones) at a coffee shop.

He asked for an autograph and Dinklage very politely brushed him off saying he just wasn’t in the mood.

Must be hard for a guy like Dinklage going out in public: both super famous and very physically distinctive.

A reminder that celebrities are just people like you and me and we all need privacy sometimes.

Very interesting! Yeah, kinda like Wee Man. Also, Vern Troyer...he had a rough life and pretty much drank himself to death. Imagine being Mini Me and going out for coffee.

I’ve never been around a celebrity because I don’t care about what they do. Most of the time though, they say orange man bad.

Yeah, celebrities, for the most part anyway, should not be considered people of importance. They are often not very intelligent, self-absorbed and live in a bubble.

That’s true

Thanks, and yes, totally true. I've never understood how anyone with even half a brain can look up to a celebrity as a role model or hero. They are chumps.

I never look up to celebrities, mostly because I don’t know any.

Good. Keep it that way and you will contribute to the greatness of the society we live in. Celebrities are nothing but entertainment. Never, ever see them as anything but that. They are there for our entertainment and they are compensated handsomely.

Everyone just likes being treated like a regular person

yes for sure. But some do expect to be treated as royalty.

XD

Political jokes, am I right?

It's the easiest topic, and it can be applied to any part of the political spectrum!

Yep XD

my mom said something stupid to Al Gore.. Some of My Family is into Politics and knew him well. She was in DC at the time he was VP at an event.

My Moms good friend and her hubby are also pals with Gore too. Lets call them Jane and John Doe..

At that time Gore had an enemy named Joe Doe.. My mom said to him, "I am pals with Joe Doe", Gore gave her an odd look, she then realized her mistake and corrected herself.. He was then very happy because John and Jane Doe were very close to him..

I said to her" do you realize you just embarrassed yourself to the 2nd most powerful man in the world"? (at the time)

Lol wow

I saw Obama once when he came to Hawaii. (Im not kidding) But he didn't notice me anyway so you cant really say that I did anything dumb.

Cool

Great topic! If I ever met my celebrity crush(es) (see: the Minogue sisters) in real life, I’d probably die. I’d be lucky to stammer out a request for an autograph.

Other than in the crowd at rock concerts, the nearest I have ever been to folks you might consider “celebrities” is at chess tournaments. I’ve stood feet away from American and world chess legends you’ve probably never heard of: Nakamura, Caruana, So.

Never talked to them at all though, as you are obviously prohibited from “table talking” during tournaments. However, I have chatted with, played against, and received instruction from lesser grandmasters.

she is one of the hottest women of all time.. another aussie hottie was Olivia newtown john too.

David Hutchenson was a lucky man

No lies detected

must be something in the water in Australia, Margot Robbie too..

but KM omg, hottie xs 100000000

Well, advertising is disallowed here, but you know where to go to find more pics of KM than you could ever possibly need :)

imagefap? not a typo

Oh yeah, and even the censored album art on the right would be verboten in some societies

Some folks will never be satisfied until all women look like this

I think it should be a law that KM never wears more than a Bikini lol.. Hottie xs 1 million

And an unconstitutional bill of attainder

But I dunno, that law might fly in Australia

LOL

You jest, but lot of folks here would be more comfortable with an ImgFlip that looked more like the right panel

Which is a censored version of the “Fever” album cover for sale in Middle East markets

Yep. Tens of thousands of years after the first caveman drew titties on a wall using chalk, artistic depictions of the female body are still seen as threatening and controversial

Fascinating

The more things change, the more they stay the same

Yes.

I've stood behind JJ Watt in grocery store lines multiple times. I'm also an alum of his, but I never felt it was my place to disturb his peace when he was simply going about his daily business.

I had the same experience waiting to pick up a car from the tire shop, Gord Downie in the same waiting room, a bunch of us guys standing around no big deal.

I had to Google his name to know who he is. The Tragically Hip...I think I've heard of them.

That was this era... https://youtu.be/xgR6QTcQkB0. Lead singer passed away a few years back, it was a national tragedy.

I have not met any celebrities but I will try to find the nearest celebrity. Preston from youtube. He lives in Texas, like me.

Good luck!

Are you actually stupid

No, it's some stupid typo. It was supposed to say "One" not "On"
