Me and some other guys were introduced to him by a mutual friend years ago. It was not much, we shook hands, introduced ourselves, and had small talk for a bit. That's about it.

Arthur Ash, in Memphis during the US Indoor Championship. He was staying at the same hotel.
Shaq, one of the Tigerland bars back in the day. Bought him a beer, shot the shite.
Eddie Payton, Walter's older brother. Played a round of golf with him at a public course in Jackson, MS. Could hit the ball a MILE!
Kenny Wayne Shepherd, TJ Ribs in BR 2009. My family was in a semi separate area eating, the waitress said a rock star and his group were about to occupy the other table and that if we didn't want to be there they would move us. Super friendly nice kid.
Robin Meade (yep from CNNHLN) on a cruise...she fine in person.
Carlos Santana, at a Mexican restaurant on Maui.

Rob Ryan at On The Border in Baton Rouge. It was the same day as LSU's pro day. He rolled up in a Benz SUV with a Saints champions license plate on it. We all walked in at nearly the same time, said hi, and he held the door for us even though we insisted he go first.

I didn't see if he was hitting the ritas before going to pro day or if he just had chips and salsa. He was in and out pretty quick.

Sammy Sosa in the Galleria in Houston. It was his first year with the Cubs, like around 1992. They were playing the Astros and I guess he was just shopping.This was his pre-steriod non-homerun hitting days so he wasn't famous yet. He seemed happy I actually recognized him.

I've been around him a few times when he was with the Cowboys, and other than nepotism, I don't know how he and his brother have jobs, but he was one funny, and friendly son of a bitch, he would keep you in stitches

Fred Taylor sat right behind me on a flight back to FLL from the Bahamas. Super nice guy who didn't mind chatting up with some random guys.

Earlier on the same trip, my buddy was playing craps with Sam Hurd. Sam was just a role-playing wide receiver at the time but he got a little more famous a couple of years later for running a drug ring while playing in the NFL.

I met Billy the Exterminator in the Atlanta airport, Donna Douglas (Ellie Mae Clampitt) in the Shreveport airport and Ron Jeremy in a bar in Baton Rouge.

I have some friends that hung out with Dennis Quaid in BR and took him to the Gator Bar. They said he was kind of a pot head douche who didn't want to buy any pot, just bum off everyone else.

I was on campus before classes started my freshman year, and had never seen Carmichael Auditorium (where the Heels played until they moved to the Smith Center). I was walking by it and decided to check it out. There was a pickup game going on and people watching..the pace of this pickup game was unlike any I had seen..when I got closer I recognized Michael Jordan, Sam Perkins, James Worthy. Probably all of them were current NBA ers at the time, and several of them All Stars at that. A lot of the NBA guys who went to local colleges would come back and workout against each other in the off-season. Even though I wasn't a huge hoops fan that was pretty cool to see up close. They could have charged admission for that game and probably come close to filling the place up.

I took a piss next to Johnnie Cochran in the New Orleans airport back in 1999 or 2000.

Ate next to Helena Bonham Carter and her kids just outside of London a few years back.

Morgan Freeman at his restaurant and he's an incredibly nice guy.

I did hear a story about one of my brother's friends going to his restaurant and he waved at Freeman to come to their table. They introduced themselves to each other then the guy said to him "Miss Daisy told me to flag you down and tell you to get out front to the car. She's really pissed off." Apparently he didn't think it was funny and walked away.

Jude Law bummed a cigarette off of me in the NOLA airport about 10 years ago.
he lived in my building and would sit outside smoking cigs nearly 24/7

And to answer the question I don't know who would be the most famous. I guess evander holifield.

Dr house lived in my building.

Drank with Reggie bush, jimmy graham and Darren sharper who is now famous for other reasons.

Rode in a plane next to Ali and his daughter out of Gulfport on a delta flight to Atlanta and shot the shite once.

Won a date as mr Mardi gras Nola runner up with Christina agulara back in the late 90s when she was at her height.(not really a date but we went to the club together that night but she had body guards )

Warren sapp was trying to frick a co worker the week he went in the hall of fame and took me to a strip club

Not sure who is the most famous
