I don't understand people who run up to celebrities like they're family. I see celebrities and think he/she is doing well at their job. I mean real celebs not people of Geordie Shore, Love Island etc.
So do you get starstruck |

Yeah. When I met Neil Gaiman I creamed myself and asked him about Discworld. 
Authors get me a bit  mainly. Oh and a few lecturers. And the odd actor. I'm really bad at recognising popular culture celebrities normally which is a good thing for them I think. |

Nah! They’re just people doing their job.
I never get it when people literally scream at pop stars. Or faint. Or cry when a band split up.
Everyone knows there’s only 3 reasons to cry : the birth of your child, the death of a loved one, and when your football team gets relegated.  |

"I get overawed and tongue tied sometimes. But apart from shy, I don't think I make it weird.
Bet you . Till they leave "
Haha no. My idea of celebrities isn't anyone else's though. They talk to me and I have to force my brain to work, rather than going "omg it's (name)" |

I've met a lot of famous athletes.
Yes I'm always a bit starstruck, but they're just normal people who happened to blessed with an amazing natural ability & doing what they do best.
I'll admit to being a bit flustered & moist when Chris Hoy kissed me on the cheek though.

It's only happened to me with one person, an actor but not even hugely famous. He was so breathtakingly beautiful in person that I could hardly string a sentence together!
I've met and worked with loads of far more famous people and never been fazed like that. |

I got used to seeing them when I worked at Gatwick, I met Angelina Jolie, Claudia Schiffer, David Soul, Ronnie Corbett and James Brown but you are in work mode so you have to be professional. |

Tell you a funny story. When my son was about 9 i took him to euro disney there was only one of each character walking round. You knew when a character was around as all the kids where running and screaming. Anyway i spotted minnie mouse and noone had seen her without a thought i ran up to her and flung my arms around her and gave her a kiss. When i turned round my son and sister where where id left them and i was surrounded by loads of kids waiting for a hug  |

Probably the same as I always do, smile and nod to them. Why piss them off going mad over them, they have better solicitors the I can afford  |

Met one or two celebrities and I was fine. But, when I met one of my all time heroes Jane Goodall after one of her lectures I struggled to speak, even though she has a fierce reputation she was lovely put me at my ease and answered my questions about her lecture and her time in Gombe. What an absolute legend she is. |

Few years ago I used to do stills photography for film / music video productions at Shepperton studios, got to meet loads of big names, never once got starstruck - I was doing my job, they were doing theirs.
Some were definitely a case of never meeting your heroes (Paul Weller), others were simply a joy to be around, made a point of getting to know everyones name, and thanking them - Kylie, Emma Thompson, Michael Gambon, Status Quo to name a few |

No, I've met quite a few over the years. I get the vibe that they've actually enjoyed having a normal conversation and a laugh with me rather than being fawned over or expected to be a performing monkey |

Ive never been up close to any celebrities and if I did I would be unlikely to recognise them. Unless it was the lovely Gary from Snow Patrol. I may go weak then |

I've accidentally bumped into a couple of celebs in my life and never really had an issue, just been on my way. Waited outside the stage door at a couple of plays and been fine too, except once when my absolute favourite musical actor was playing Jean Valjean, he came out the stage door and I just...stared, he was so hot! |

Celebrities?
Tani Grey Thompson? Jason Mambo?
Rugby players from Gloucester and heaven forbid, Ronnie Corbett...
I think my pants would be moist at the merest thought of bumping into any of these monumental super stars!
What happened to real A list, grade one proper Celebrities?
Keith Chegwin, Floella Benjamin, The Chuckle Brothers and Lucinda Prior-Palmer to name just 4 of the greatest ever British major celebrities....(more than 4 if count both Chuckle Brothers) |

Years ago for work I travelled with Sunderland football team from Newcastle to Stevenage. All were just really nice, down to earth lads. Niall Quinn was really friendly and invited me to join the poker game with Micky Gray and Kevin Phillips but their stakes were a little out of my league lol. |
