Sat in the next isle from Jerry Rice on the way from DFW to NOLA and didn't say a word to him. Does this count?

Met Karl Anthony Towns last year, but I think the most famous person I've met is John Kerry.

Brett Favre & Shaq probably most famous from the sports world.

Rob Thomas (prior to fame) & Billy Corgan. Actually met & hung out with both full bands.

Met actor Luke Wilson in an elevator in a Shreveport casino.

Now it might likely be Zendaya. Yesterday in a drug store I saw her face on the cover of this month's Mary Claire magazine, and previously this year on the covers of both Vogue and Cosmopolitan.

My daughter and I were invited by mutual acquaintances to hang out and watch rehearsal for her first Disney tv show. Z was polite and accommodating during the breaks and afterwards, but daughter got along better with the other actors.

Eric Decker, sat next to him at Burger Republic in Nashville a couple years ago. Chatted a good bit while eating a burger and having a couple beers with friends. Had a pic taken together before he left, actually a really nice guy that seems down to earth...plus hot as hell :)

Elle Macpherson, we both had a cigar on an outdoor lanai in Maui while watching the sunset just by chance. I thought she was just a regular beautiful woman when she first sat down in chair beside me, didn't know it was "Elle" until almost an hour into convo LOL.

Patrick Kane, he was at a fundraiser we were attending and happened to run into him at the bar both before and after. Little guy likes to party though a bit of an arrogant attitude in general.

Burt Reynolds just this past spring in Knoxville, ran into him in the hotel lobby we were staying at and offered drinks. He was there for a premiere of his last movie. He didn't look to good but still a ladies man, had three 20 somethings in his company the whole time.

Vernel Singleton about a decade ago in a Miami club. Just a brief exchange about LSU bball after I asked if it was really him. I mentioned the band-aid but didn't say anything about the porn business lol (I actually don't think I even knew about that back then).

Dutch Boyd, in Vegas...sat at the bar next to me, apparently already high and or wasted, didn't know who he was until he told me, like 5 times, talked for about 15 minutes. Left after I declined to go up to his room for some blow (coke not the BJ) and anything else I would want.

Demarcus Ware, Jason Witten, Sterling Castro, Dewayne Wade, Lyle Mouton, Ron Guidry, Kerry Wood, and Ben McDonald at either sports conventions or spring training/training camps that I got autographs from, along with some others that weren't really famous but still played ball.

A few others but nothing special.

Micheal Jordan in Huntsville, AL 1994 when he played for the Birmingham Barons.

Shaquille O’Neal when he was at LSU

A long time before Tommy Franks was the commander in the desert he was the commander of TRADOC. He came to Ft. McClellan when I was in basic and I met him while on KP. It was funny watching all these officers (who were like gods on the base to us privates) walk around with their tongues in his arse.

I drank with the dude from Workaholics 5 or 6 times while he was filming pitch perfect.

I used to hang at Bogie's all the time when Odell was a regular. I don't think he ever knew my name but he knew I drank Miller Light

The Rock/Dwayne Johnson at elmwood fitness center. Back in college in late 90s /early 00s when I worked there. Bunch of WWE guys would come work out there when they had shows. He actually spent a few minutes with one of the special needs employees who was a massive fan doing all of his catchphrases. Not a single camera or really anyone else around either. Just a good guy.

Burt Reynolds. In his later years he’d come to the hospital I worked at for various issues. Truly gracious man who treated everyone with respect.

Probably not famous as in a celebrity.

John Ehrlichman - Nixon’s Counsel and indicted/convicted in the Warergate scandal. He was a patient at a hospital I worked at. He was a pistol, the day I met him he asked if I knew who he was. I did; but played dumb and said no. His response was priceless

“What the frick are they teaching kids in school these days?”.

Spent some time with him in his final weeks. Razor sharp guy until the end.

Met General Norman Schwarzkopf several times as he was a pretty regular fixture in Tampa and Central Command. A mountain of a man and quite approachable given his background.

My younger brother played youth league to HS football with former TV personality/UGA/Bengals Star and Coates bathroom afficianado David Pollack. Even as a child he was an arrogant a-hole. LOL

in my line of work, and I've been doing it a long time, I am around a lot of famous people, almost too many to recall, but I've met a lot of people that have already been posted here, and more, and have had some interesting adventures with some of them
