I actually bumped into Whoopi Goldberg in the lobby of the Beverley Hilton. When I say bumped into, I literally did. Was the night Barry Manilow was playing. Didn't meet him but we saw him through the doors of the room he was playing. We were staying there and that night it was old style celebrity heaven. The goodie bags were unreal. I was offered 2 VIP backstage passes via someone I was having a smoke with. I needed a suit and since I was on holiday, I didn't have one. Mrs sadgit was gutted as she is a HUGE Manilow fan.

Unreal..! 😆
 
Hell, that's tricky. I don't know how you measure it. Worked with many "famous" people.

At a guess, between Beckham, having dinner with Joni Mitchell or Mickey Dolenz, playing pool with Will Smith (had no idea who the f he was) or, probably, Little Richard, who I watched basket ball with while s living at the Hyatt on Sunset, LA. Who the **** is the most famous?

Will Smith. Its got to be Will Smith.
 
Watched Mystere by Cirque de Soleil in Vegas at The Treasure Island Hotel in September.

Sat in front of me was Paul Chuckle. When he got up to buy popcorn I said "alright mate". He just smiled.

Should have said "to me, to you" etc, but I was a bit starstruck.🙂
 
Pete Doherty after he'd performed in Darlington. We'd stayed behind for a drink in a nearby bar after the gig and as we came out we'd noticed him coming out of the venue, so had a brief chat and got a selfie with him.

Met Vinnie Jones and Gazza when they appeared at the Middlesbrough Theatre a few years back but was only to get a quick snap with them.

I’ve not met many superstar famous people but briefly played for and against Prince Mateen of Brunei’s football team so met him. Met Stewart Lee and Tim Vine. Shared hellos and nods with Karanka, Woodgate and other staff and players when had a tour of training ground, defo met other boro players down the years too. Was in the U-17/colts teams at Redcar when Gary Schofield coached there so had the odd session with him and the first team.
 
Worked at raf northolt as one of the duty air movs officers, apr 92to June 93 so got to see quite a few famous/notorious people.

Most nice, some absolute Norbert’s .

I met the devil at a party once. I think that I've already spoken about that on here before. He's not as bad as people make him out to be and selling my soul to him worked out pretty well in the end. I don't regret it.

With you being the legendary Bum Face, when you sold The Devil your soul, does that mean technically it was your "Ars3 soul" he bought?
