That's pretty cool - I may not have met any big-shot celebrities per se (my childhood was sadly very sheltered, so I didn't experience much cool stuff as a child), but I am actually friends with quite a few big-shots online - my family's rich and well-connected because my Dad is a corporate-executive banker (he's quite the gigachad, and is LGBTQ-supportive too), so I have a lot of friends in high places as a result :>
For one, I'm friends with Dr. David Benaron AKA Spottacus Cheetah, who is a Silicon-Valley tech-genius millionaire and prominent furry who also invented the optical heart-rate monitor that goes in smartwatches, among other devices. Being a big-time science-and-philosophy nerd who also happens to be a furry, I really look up to the guy and want to work in the high-tech sector as well.
I'm Simo, your local avian tech-genius, BTW - nice to meet you :>
