Not just a "hello"

Who's the most famous person you've met and had a real conversation with or spent time with?

A bloke that won masterchef one year. I can’t even remember his name and I imagine he’ll be the least famous person on this thread!

2 of my friends have headlined Glastonbury in the early 90s but I'm not sure they'd be considered mainstream famous then and certainly not now.

I've spent tome with Chris Hoy, he's a genuinely nice guy

After he retired from boxing I worked with Billy Hardy for a long time. He was British champion at bantamweight and featherweight, as well as holding the European and Commonwealth featherweight titles.

He fought Naseem Hamed for the World title too, but got knocked out in under 2 minutes.

A job in my previous life brought me in contact with all manner of folk. Sports teams, comedians, celebrities from music, tv, movies, proper rock stars.

The most epically and genuinely 'rockstar' was James Brown. Unmatched.

Tom Jones a close second for ego/star-factor but he gave me the creeps.

Chelsea FC were ignorant and arrogant fkrs.

U2 were too cool to chill.

Lots more over the years I worked there

Having worked in the music industry since I was 18 I've met a lot of "celebs" but that's was just work.

An actual sat down conversation? I once was sat at a bar in a London hotel chatting to actor James Coburn for about 2 hours. Funniest thing? It was only after he left to meet his friends that the bar tender divulged who my new drinking buddy actually was! I had NO idea until then. He was just a nice, random American bloke happy to chat to me until then.

Lloyd Webber a message giving my number. He was upset and quite unpleasant. I listened and answered his questions, taking it on the chin but the person who spoke to me sounded like a real prat.

I wouldn’t be too Jealous

- Louisa was 15 and I was 17 at the time high school sweethearts - for a very short time (about 2 weeks) I ended up with one of her mates a while after and we ended up married - not the current Mrs Reboot lol

- Michaela danced with me and we were filmed on TV for a show she used to do with Pete Warerman called “The Hitman and Her” where they went around nightclubs - on this occasion it was Fox’s nightclub in Wolverhampton and I was out with my mates for my 18th birthday

Not the most famous that I have met, but I was working as a DJ in a nightclub in the 90’s and we had Keeley Hawes (Chesney Hawkes sister) there promoting her new single. She took a shine to me. We had a few drinks after the club closed and had a nice snogging session before she left. I would have gone to her hotel room, but her manager whisked her away before I had a chance.

Back in the early noughties when I lived near London I was a member at a gym owned by the one and only Wolf of of Gladiators.

I was definitely a part of the target demographic for that show when it was on and was a big fan (well TBH it was all about Jet as a teenage lad and still would be).

I didn't know it was his gym when I walked in to have a look around with him stood behind the counter!

Met Chris Evans once, many, many moons ago - think he was still doing the Big Breakfast at the time. Was at a charity football match that a mate was involved in.

Also met Nik Kershaw at a local radio station about 24 years ago. I was visiting a mate who was a presenter and he had come in as a guest. My presenter mate was a bit clueless and asked me if I could think of any questions to ask him, so I asked what the Riddle was all about.

Thouroughly nice chap

Most famous would probably be Cliff Richard. In a shoe shop in Perth Western Australia he was absolutely vile. Horrible to the staff , I had I be restrained by my friends from belting him. Utter prick.

Met lots of comedians, tv people, sports stars music stars etc had the conversation with people I didn’t know who it was at the time, one of the nicest was Garry Mabbut of Tottenham. Had time for all the kids that were queuing for autographs back in the 90s. Oh another prick was David Platt when he was at Villa. Tosser.

During the recession around 2011 2012 I did a lot of TV/Film extra work. Ireland offered a lot of tax breaks to production companies so I worked on George Gently, Foyles War, some foreign TV stuff. Albert Nobbs. Shook hands one day with Glenn Close.

I had a long-term thing with a famous footballer in my late 20s. Met him at a friend’s party in Ibiza. Didn’t have a clue who he was when I met him. Was fun while it lasted. Seeing him on television now makes me smile…The world still doesn’t have a clue.

Though my "minicab driver years" I met posh, baby and scary spice, Martine McCutcheon, Steve McFadden and a host of sports stars at the time, nicest one and biggest tipper was Brian Lara the West Indies cricketer. When I was 15, I interviewed the West Ham manager and gave all the 1st team a questionnaire on football violence. Met Woody Harelson on a random trip to the west end and had a drink with him and when I worked as a film extra, met and had lunch with Barbera Windsor, also gave Daniel Radcliff a roll up while waiting for a set change before filming a scene.

But for me, meeting Charlton Heston and getting his autograph when I was 12 would be the most famous of all

Richard Dawkins definitely my favourite, was lovely to chat with.

I apparently meet lots of footballers cricketers etc but I don't follow so don't care, probably why I get staffed for those events as I don't fanboi

Did meet whoever played the mountain in game of thrones. Also met most of the medal winners from.team England in the commonwealth games last year, but again didn't really care lol
