Have you ever met a celebrity but didn't know who they were at the time?

Yeah when I was younger (about 7) I won a competition in school and met Ian Rush.

I’ve never been a football fan so had no idea who he was, despite my Dad/Grandad like fawning over him. :joker:

Jo Brand came into my shop when I worked in a shop with her daughter and I served her, thought she looked familiar but just thought she was a regular, I noticed everyone starting at me whilst I was serving here and afterwards everyone was like THATS JO BRAND and I was like ohhhh

I was 12 and in London with my family staying in a Hotel.

This guy started chatting to us and I thought I recognised him.
It only dawned on myself and one of my Brothers, after he set off.
That he was Neil Hannon of Divine Comedy.

Once I realised I was so disappointed not to have realised before, as I love their recordings.

I met Nicky Pope in a club at New Cross having absolutely no idea that he was a Charlton player at the time. It didn’t really help that my friend (who is dyslexic) was saying ”LOOK THERE’S NICKY POP!!” instead of Pope :laugh:

Celebrity is a condition of fame and broad public recognition of an individual or group as a result of the attention given to them by mass media. A person may attain a celebrity status from having great wealth, their participation in sports or the entertainment industry, their position as a political figure, or even from their connection to another celebrity.

Thanks

Audley Harrison in a WH Smith in Bluewater, i wanna say 2000. I didn't know who he was, but i knew he was 'someone' just because of the crowd around him, and he was physically HUGE.

Celebrity literally is a “celebrated personality”, footballers come under that I reckon.

Especially Rashford, even if just for his work off the pitch lately.

Celebs are people that make you go ooooo in the street, if you see them.

I think I’ve mentioned on here before, I chatted to the bloke from “Outlander” whilst waiting an outlandish ( :hehe: ) amount of time to be served at a bar in Glasgow when I was on stag night. Had no clue who he was until I went back to the table and everyone was like “was that the fella from outlander??” And I had to google it, and it indeed was the fella from outlander.

I doubt anyone sees any celeb on the street

You might see a tramp on the the street or a busker

I worked in WHSmiths as a Saturday job when I was 16….Dame Edna Everage came into the book department to sign her books…didn’t have a clue who she was. Barry Humphries…what a character :laugh:
