Famous people you have seen when out and about

[tokarev]

What famous people have you seen when out and about on your daily business?

I have seen:

Sol Campbell (footballer) jogging in the park when I was jogging. Then on another day at the same time he was chatting to two other blokes at the same place.
Lucy Benjamin (Phil Mitchell's ex wife from Eastenders) in the passenger seat of a BMW of some sort at Piccadilly Circus.
Bob Geldof and some woman (his girlfriend maybe) cycling along the River Thames on the footpath.
Darius (that tall singer guy that carries a guitar everywhere he goes) standing outside Sloane Square station.

There is probably more, I just can't remember them right now.

I'd regularly catch glimpses of musicians on denmark street, I ran into david soul in a pub, I saw the fat bloke out of the office in another pub, una stubbs used to use my post office etc.

The only half-interesting one was when I worked on albemarle street. I used to see john hurt walk past almost every day when I went out for a smoke. Then when I left that job to go to new zealand a few months later, I saw john hurt in a bar at an auckland hotel. I'm still convinced he's stalking me

[oddkid]

Hmm, i'm met the Grumbleweeds, Baron Knights and Bradley Walsh. Also met Larry Grayson when i was really little. But they were all at shows rather than just out and about.

Talked to Bradley Walsh for about 15 minutes while he was signing autographs for othjer people.

Jimmy Nesbitt (shopping in his home town in N.I. with his mum)

Chris Eubank (Driving round Brighton's Laines waving to anyone who cared)

Ian Wright (I actually walked into him, while he was being filmed by a large film crew, without noticing. I'm a dozy bastard...)

Jade Goody (driving around my village, presumably picking up her son from his grandparents)

Used to see Carol Smillie regularly in a bistro called Vitelli and Vitelli in Glasgow's Italian Center. It was owned by her husband Alex Knight, and his business partner Simon Littlejohn. I was in there for coffee and a croissant most mornings before heading to class at uni.

Johnny Vegas got kicked out the pub where I work on NewYearsEve for being too pissed. At 10 in the morning shortly after we'd opened. I came in only an hour later and was quite dissapointed to have missed him.

I went out on the booze with Johann Cruyff in Pisa, Italy whilst on Holiday. He was sat at the table next to me and my friend as we were having dinner and we got chatting. He was with another chap who we now suspect to be another Dutch footballer. It's funny because neither of us had a clue who he was, me not being a football fan and my friend being a girl. It was only when my friend saw him on TV during the world cup we found out he was one of the greatest footballers of all time!

I should of twigged when he said he played football in Holland and that his son played for Man U but we were all absolutely slaughtered by that time I have his phone number somewhere...

[john2]

None

The occasional Ipswich Town footballer, but you cant exactly call them celebrities!

[veeeffarr]

I was on Saturday Disney with Ruud Gullit.

Met Bruce Forsythe too.

Saw Angelina Jolie in Venice

I've also seen Darius, on the same carriage as me on a Liverpool Lime Street > London Euston train.

[Dave McCool]

Oh, I almost forgot, my personal favourite was seeing John Virgo in Boots.

He was stood next to one of my mates, both of them waiting for people to come through the checkout. Me and my mate who were in the queue spotted him, but because he wasn't in a comedy waistcoat, we couldn't be sure if it was him or not.

We came to the conclusion that the only way we could be sure, would be if we sang the Big Break theme tune when we walked past him to see if he'd get excited.

We did so, and it raised a smile, so we walked on satisfied that we'd seen probably the coolest snooker player ever.

However, when we got out of the shop, the mate who'd been stood next to Virgo the whole time, said, and I quote:

"Oh my God, did you just see that??? I was stood next to Matthew Kelly!"

I served a well known actress called Kate O Mara for fags in my shop once.

I wasn't aware it was her until people in the queue told me.
