My Dad scared the shit out of Stephen King. My Dad is 6'2 and is no means a pencil armed man. He is a big man. And he at the time was a cop. He would be full cop gear and worked in Austin Texas as a night gaurd at a Jack in the box for extra money because well I have 5 brothers so that is 6 kids. My mom works to so you know. Well anywho my Dad sees Stephen King and his family go in to jack in the box. But the dining area inside is closed only drive thru was open. But because he is him they let him sit. (By the way my Dad read everything by him, he loves him lol)
So my Dad marches over to him.There stands 6'2 big guy cop and Stephen King looks scared. He says to my Dad. "What is the problem officer?" That is when my Dad realize he had his hand resting on his gun out of habit. My Dad says."O o sorry no nothing is wrong. I am just such a big fan I wanted to tell you that I love your books." That is when Stephen King smiled and took a beath like whoa ok lol.
He chatted with my Dad while he waited for his food. And my Dad told him how his favorite book was Dolores Claiborne. And he had his copy in the car so Stephen King signed it. He thanked my Dad for his service and the talk and my Dad let him eat in the reastraunt even though no one is supposed to.
I've met Paralympic dressage rider Lee Pearson (9 Paralympic gold medals) and Olympic dressage rider Carl Hester, and Ricky Balshaw (aspiring para dressage rider) .
Lee was giving lessons to aspiring dressage riders, so my riding instructor and I watched, and then had lunch with him! Then a few months later, my mum got me an hour long lesson that happened to be on my birthday! I also got an autograph.
I then competed at the national championships and Carl was presenting awards, so I accepted my first place awards from him!
I went to watch the para-dressage at Greenwich in the 2012 games, and he was watching, so I got an picture with him and an autograph.
I know they're not everyone's type of celebrities, like actresses or singers, but I was very honoured to meet them :p

Was he your idol?!
Also I hope you get into the Paralympics
I've never met a celebrity myself but my aunt and uncle own a coffee shop and years ago Paul McCartney went in there and my cousin who worked there at the time didn't know who he was. Then my same aunt and uncle met Eddie Vedder at a Cubs game but didn't take a picture with him
Big Show, George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Zack Ryder, Cody Rhodes, Steven Spielberg, Mark Hamill, Billy Dee Williams. (Most of these I met at Universal during WWE nights when I worked at the parks, and Disney during Star Wars Weekends.)
It was during Stardust, but without the face makeup. I was working at Universal at E.T. when he and Zack Ryder came through the VIP doors. It was rather awesome. As an employee, I wasn't allowed to ask for an autograph or picture, which sucked. I did shake their hands, though.
I didn't like him at first, but he grew on me greatly. Especially when he befriended Connor, the kid who is sick, and became an honor at WWE superstar.
O I forgot my Mom met Willie Nelson. She worked at circle K in my home town Gonzales Tx. It was before cell phones and he was on tour. He was on his tour bus. His driver got lost and he stopped at the store for directions. My Mom was working and he told her how he was following the other bus but the other bus broke down so he went on ahead but he forgot how to get there. Well my Mom helped him she gave him a map and drew a line on how to get where he was going. (I forgot where.) Well he told her thankyou and he pay for the map if he could but the other bus has his wallet. My mom said "Excuse you, you are Willie Nelson, you can have what ever you want it is free." He said if that is the case you mind if I grab some food for me and my bus driver we been on the road a long time." He took a polish hotdog mustard and relish, a bag of fritos, and a blue and red icee. The driver just had a coke and a bag of Doritos. He told my mom ty and that he feels bad for not paying so he went on the bus
and gave her his guitar pick and a signed picture of him. He gave my mom a huge hug and called her a big sweetheart. Lol He made my mom's day, she payed for their meal when they left all so she can tell people she took Willie Nelson out to lunch.

I never met anyone but my dad met Selena (the hispanic one)
A buddy of mine and I went on some t.v. show in Hollywood a few years ago and while we were in the audience we hear a door open behind us. (We were in the very last row) we turned around and he was just standing there. He wasn't even a guest on the show. So we started to talk to him.
Daniel Radcliffe. He was in a show on Broadway, and we got to meet him afterwards. I may or may not have been sweating like a pig when I went to say hi.
One time a soap opera was directed in my neighborhood and the actress was so famous that time and my mom pinched her cheek (bcs the actress was pretty) and my mom said the actress looked quite mad lol

Was it when he had his mustache? Or when he was wearing the face mask?
That must have been so awesome
Was the experience "wizard"?
I could meet you ;)
