Was chatted up by a really annoying toad on a night out who eventually used the line 'don't you know who I am?'

Back in the mid 90's I was away in Spain working

You had to fly via Heathrow at the time no direct flight to Dublin from Malaga

Easy jet to London was delayed taking off as someone was late getting on

It turned out to be Martine Mc Cutcheon also know as Tiffany from Eastenders

She sat beside me and ordered drinks to apologise for delaying the flight for the row around us ...she was lovely

Never met him but friends were on hols in Italy about 10 years ago and met Denzel Washington in a restaurant with his family.

He made a point of coming over to chat to them and invited their kids to his villa the next day and sent a car to pick them up and leave them back.

Apparently one of the nicest people ever.

I have seen plenty of fair city actors, I don't watch fair city but.

I can recognise them because they act very conspicuous and then get sort of riled up cause they think they have 'been made' by me.... such arseholes. Also Nicky Byrne and the ugly comedian (kevin whatever) from savage eye falls into this category.

I have also tons of real celebs who are class acts who smile politely and nod if I copped them. I have never stopped to talk to any celebs

Year's ago on a visit to see some friends in New York I was in Planet Hollywood been shown around the VIP areas when I ran into Bruce Willis in the private cinema. He introduced himself and asked where I was from and when I said Ireland he asked me if I would like to join him in having a drink. Spent about an hour shooting the breeze with him and he invited me back the next night for dinner and drinks on him. Only found out after he left the he was a Co owner of the place and when I went back in the next night we got the full VIP treatment, had a brilliant night and he was such a down to earth guy with no BS. He even asked my friend a few weeks later if I enjoyed my night on him

I was introduced to Smoky Joe Frazer, a legendary boxer, on St Patrick’s day in Madison Square Garden. I met the great Martin McGuinness at the same event. Two amazing men in their own rights. Both gone from earth now too.

Got taken on stage with the Chilli Peppers in the SFX donkeys years ago. That was a mad buzz.

I’ve met most of our presidents since PJ Hillery as well. The first Mary was more impressive than the second.

Ahh depends on peoples idea of famous, i feel strange when using the term but here goes:

As a 16 year old did an mtv interview with russel brand at creamfields ireland in the summer before 9/11

Gerry Adams a cupla times as a teen

Drank with gerry conlon of the Guildford 4 in Glasgow. Was friendly with paddy Hill of the Birmingham 6 too in Glasgow.

Different leading Scottish politicians that u guys wouldn't have heard of. One had been a frequenter of swingers clubs in Manchester lol but that's not how I met him.

Drank with the world champ boxer Ricky Hatton in Belfast and England.

Drank and snorted with Larry love of the band alabama 3 (ye's would know their song woke up this morning as it was the theme tune to the sopranos)

Eh Robbie Williams the singer, most of the celtic footy team of 2004/05, and sure there's others but that's a fair enuf list

During my life I have probably met dozens of famous people, in different fields; and I have also met some exceptionally famous people world famous in fact, and had conversations with them.

I had two very long conversations with Jimmy Savile in 1994; in all honesty he was confident, articulate, but evasive and a little bit creepy. He was a loner.

The princiap lesson is that famous people are just products of mass media; they're generally just like you and me, but exposure on television, on radio or in the print media has made them instantly recognisible.

At this stage of my life, I am delighted that I am not famous; I can go about my daily routine completely unhindered and totally anonymously.
