She was very lovely. " Ohhhh intrigued about the dinner, what show and was it a dinner date? Or are you a chef  | |||
"Who was it and how did they seem in real life.? Have a great day all. "A fair few. Some were very up themselves and egotistical but a few that were very down to earth, friendly, chatty and approachable include The King (although he wasn't then), Midge Ure, Eric Cantona, Simon Le Bon, Stefan Dennis and the nicest guy you could ever meet, Martin Clunes.

Robert Lindsey - Was a nice guy - but don't expect him to be a natural at throwing a joke during a conversation. | |||

"A few... Few footballers ...John Barnes was a highlight. Loads of celebrity chefs, John Torode from MasterChef was surprisingly funny. James Martin was a miserable cunt, Paul Hollywood had delusions of grandeur. My personal highlight was meeting Ralph Macchio (Karate Kid) at a party in New York... randomly .." I didn't think a post could upset me so much but hey, here we are. How could you not name drop the most epic of food critics ever? With the most glorious mane of hair? *le sigh* | |||

J" Julie how did you guess who from that vague description?
I'm really impressed!
I think he's lovely. Passionate, funny, a brilliant story teller. Appreciates food, voices...
Yeah I think he's nice. In case it's not obvious. | |||

To answer the OP, I've met quite a few celebrities. But there are two who'll always stand out to me. Neil Gaiman (because I cocked that up royally) and Pete Wicks because he's the only person who has had me truly stumbling over my words like an absolute buffoon. | |||

"Who was it and how did they seem in real life.? Have a great day all. "I’ve worked in the SFX industry for nearly 18 years. In 2018 I moved from live entertainment to tv&film. I was lucky enough to work on peaky Blinders VI. Everyone on the production was lovely. That said I did get chance to meet Tom Hardy and we had a brief conversation about victorian porn, and the “what the butler saw” machines. Tom was really nice. What was most impressive about meeting him was seeing how fast he got into character. | |||

Very nice guy though.

"I met Shawn Michaels at a restaurant once - we’d accidentally been given his table. Apparently he was fond of the restaurant and had a specific table he liked, and the management had messed up and gotten their days wrong, (it was Tuesday and they thought he was coming on Thursday or something like that). Anyway, the manager, completely embarrassed (this is a pretty nice restaurant) comes by and says “I’m so sorry, but we’d like to move you to another table if you could be troubled, and we’ll gladly compensate you for the cost of the meal and any other meal you’d like while you’re in town.” My sister and cousin were both like “Yeah that’s cool.” and I kind of played the asshole a bit. “I’m sorry, I just don’t understand. We’ve been here for 15 minutes - we’ve just ordered. Can’t we finish our meal here?” Then out of nowhere Shawn Michaels shows up next to the manager and says “Paul, these guys can finish. We’ll be at the bar. I got some time.” And I (being a big HBK fan) said “Oh wow, uh… I had no idea. Please feel free to give them the table.” Shawn was grateful, shook my hand and said thanks, then gave me a card with his number on it and told me to give him a call later. After working up the nerve, I gave him a call that night, and to make a long story short, we had a glorious 11 month love affair, man on man, that I shall never forget. Our bodies intertwined as one, and from the beauty of Morocco, to the French Riviera, to the snorkeling in the Galopagos, Shawn Michaels and I made glorious gay love to each other on six of the seven continents." Aw and it started off so well | |||
