Come on then, met anyone famous..

I'll start with pretty much half the 2010 moto GP riders, Rossi was one I didn't get a pic with though. Went to Valencia and with it being the last race of the season managed to get into the pits / paddock, so photo time !

Mario Belotelli a few times, Paul Simon the singer who asked for a photo ( I kid you not ), Robin Van Persie.... all a few years ago now, must try and get someone new this year !...competition time !!!
 
I met David Jason (Sir David John White) aka Del boy at RAF Fairford when i was a air cadet, we had to show him around the planes on display! must have been 12-13 years ago now
 
I met Jules Holland when the company I worked for was sponsoring Greenwich Arts Festival about 20 years ago. Also got to see his band's festival gig FOC. Happy days!
 
Oh, and I was pals with the BBC journalist Allan Little at university (before he was famous).
 
I've met quite a few athletes, Adam Gemili, Conrad WIlliams and Perri Shakes-Drayton to name a few of the more well known ones. Also met American rower Caryn Davies (triple Olympic medallist).

I met Richard Wilson backstage after he performed a stage version of Peter Pan. We were invited there by singer/actress Claire Moore, who as well as being in the performance, had also played Christine in Phantom of the Opera previously.

I'm also friends with Laura Doggett, a singer/songwriter who has appeared on Jules Holland a couple of times, and who's song was featured on the new Broadchurch trailer a few weeks ago.

Think that's most of them...
 
Met Maxi Jazz back in the days when he raced in the Porsche supercup.
My son had his photo taken with him, really nice guy. He even put his cigarette out for him.
 
Rick James and the Stone
City Band.

Mike Tyson.
 
Unintentionally bumped into Gok Wan more than a few times when he was doing this catwalk thing in Birmingham, always at the same places I get hot beverages from, ****** copycat. Me and my friend turned up early to a Soulfly gig and ended up taking them around town for coffee and food.

Yup a few,

I have a good friend who is a stunt actor on alot of major films these days called Nick stanner (google away) and went out on set with him for a few days when he was filming the dukes of hazzard. So spent a few days chilling out with Johnny Knoxville and jessica simpson who were the main actors in that. They were pretty cool.

Also done some martial arts work myself with Jackie Chan and his stunt team, Sammu hung and Mike Chatarantabut (bloke who played the Blue Power ranger bahah)

and before his rise to fame, I used to train with Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob Black from twilight series.
 
Gloria Hunniford
Dr Miriam Stoppard
Jodie Marsh

and when I worked as a door steward;

Deacon Blue, three times.
Danny Wilson
Hue and Cry
Runrig
Proclaimers
Big Jim Leishman... (what a laugh and tipped me £35.00)...!

To name only but a few.

I used to have a drink & a game of darts with Rick Wakeman in one of my nearby locals, another one was owned by Barbara Winsor, quit often had a lockin at her pub. i worked at Pinewood studios years ago when the Carry on films were being made, met most of the cast, Sid James used to arrive in the mornings with the Daily Mirror under his arm & head straight for the loo's, he would sit in there & pick his horses for the day & then dispatch someone off to the bookies.
Fern Britton lives a few houses from me & met her many times
Ive worked for Des O'Connor & Val Doonican, and recently Mary Berry, she's ****** fussy.
I do hot air ballooning & Richard Branson learnt to fly at our club, met him many times, also Rula Lenska when she was learning to fly, hubby Dennis Waterman used to come sometimes but he's a stuck up ***. have flown Cilla out of corrie ( can't remember her real name ) she's a good laugh,

I met Verne Troyer on a plane once. He is even smaller than he looks on TV! he almost got run over by the air stewardess with the trolley
 
Just that tiny skinny blonde lass from one of the big brother series. She was really friendly. Can't even remember her name.

Don't be jealous.

Natalie Cassidy from Eastenders whilst in town. Had a hangover knew Ai recognised her but couldn't work out why. Started chatting **** hoping the penny would drop, it didn't. Gave her a hug and left. Mate was wetting himself laughing and I felt a total plum when he told me. Fair play to her as she was lovely considering being accosted and hugged by an odd hairy bloke.

Met Nick Frost whilst doing some extra work on The World's End set. He came across as a really decent guy.
