Has anyone here ever met, or know of someone who has met a celebrity in the flesh and they have been very rude and ignorant to them? Maybe you asked them for an autograph and they told you were to go? Or you encoutered them while at work and they acted like the big I am!
The only celeb I ever met was Paul Daniels, and he was alright. Not overly friendly but aproachable, his wife Debbie was lovely though.

Not only would he not shake my hand (I offered him my mitt but he stared at it very disdainfully. Eventually this huge paw emerged and shook the very tips of my fingers!) but he wasn't interested in my acting credits - only in what my father did and whether it was "important". Note - he had no interest in what my mother did! Obviously, she was irrelevant! He was the most crashing snob and obviously seeking a social leg-up.
I must say, he had a lovely house but he was sat behind this massive desk from which he did not move. Well, some men have big cars as phallic symbols and some men obviously have big desks ...
Well, he didn't ask me! I wonder if I should be insulted or relieved? On consideration, I'll go with relieved. I might have been squashed.
He had this huge chair thing, that was almost throne-like, and he had quite a few women kneeling around him, stroking his hands, his feet, holding his drinks etc, and he obviously expected me to fall at his feet also. When he died, I was surprised to hear how people spoke of him, and I wondered whether he had changed his ways, or whether people were just being "nice"
I also met Johnny Osborne, who by contrast, was the most wonderfully peaceful, gentle, unassuming man that I have ever met.
I've never met any celebs really. My Dad met some of the cast of Coronation Street a few months back and he said they were lovely, very down to earth.
She was barely famous then either..not that she is now.
Did you know Rowetta is a DS forum member? Why don't you PM her your lovely story?
Shall i get my sister on line! It would be a nice little reunion..
Yep, she is, here is her profile. She comes online quite a bit on The X Factor forum. Get your sister on t'internet - they could reminisce about old times
I did once receive an extremely filthy *Don't bother me you annoying little person* look from Steve McFadden whilst sharing a zebra crossing with him, I think, because I did a double take, I only did that because I thought it was my mate Kenny.
Just remembered! Met Bruno Brookes via work once, not the friendliest person in the world, but I think he could have been a bit upset as he had to reveal his real name was Trevor as part of the thing I had to see him about.
Followed Johnny Depp down Oxford Street once, no idea what his personality was like, but his bum was mighty fine
Hi Rowetta (in case she does)!
You creep!
As a kiddy, I accidentally walked into an episode of Minder as it was filming in Brent Cross. I innocently asked Dennis Waterman for his autograph, and he explained he was 'filming' in a rather crude manner. My 9-year old ears were very disturbed.
I agree about Paul Daniels and Debbie- saw them at a Spanish airport and they were both charming (Paul did tricks for the kids). Taking into account they were returning early as Paul's father had died, I have great respect for them.
(Chas & Dave are lovely too!)
He seems such a pleasant man as well.
Im only joking btw, what do i know, im just a peasant off the street!
I was at the airport once and Neil Morrisey came through the doors and my friend sang Bob the builder.... he didn't look very impressed....
Er...why not? Millions of people around the world are. I happen to like her music, I was a fan of hers when she first started and I was around 16 and i've just grown up liking her. Even though she's not the best singer, she's a good entertainer. Ok, so she's a bit trailer trashy now, but she made some good tunes in my opinion.
haha, i knew you'd say that bout it not being 'her' music!! a lot of people in the music biz don't write all their own songs, that's why there are songwriters in the business. yeah she was manufactured, yeah she lipsyncs, but hey, I like her stuff. What can I do about it? Start being fans of her songwriters and producers?
One of my Aunt's friends went to see My Fair Lady iat Drury Lane, and after the show, there was Dennis swigging back a pint or ten in the pub nearby. One or two people had been over and asked for his autograph, so my Aunts mate went over and said "excuse me, would you mind signing my programme, I loved the show...", he sighed deeply and said, "awlrite, where you from?" She said, "Wolverhampton" and he snidely sneered "well, I spose someones gotta be..." At that point she snatched the programme off him and said, "Dont bother" .......
Still he can always write da feeeeem choooon, sing da feeeemmm choooon........
