Most Famous Person You've Ever Seen/Met

I saw Bill Gates on my way to work this morning.

/claim.

I'm almost 100% positive it was him. But I'll say I'm 95% sure because there's a 5% chance some know it all will know exactly where Bill Gates was today and will tell me he was in Libya or something.

So this made me think...who is the most famous person you've ever met/seen up close (ie: not a concert)?

Mine include:

Bill Gates

Bud from Sublime

Bruce Willis

Mario Lopez

if this is a repost, who cares?

did this happen once and you're claiming regularity? If not, and it genuinely regularly happened, then that is pretty rad. Does he wear short 70's shorts with slits on the sides when he runs?

funny, because i'm in a class where the prof points out daily how ridiculous celebrity culture is. if i see some famous person, i'd be excited, i'd definitely tell everyone i know, but why should any of us care that i saw someone who pretends to be someone else for money? i have no idea.

Fuck mobile ns. Had about a fifteen minuete convo with him and also turned down his mic while I was working. Greg baffle and a shut ton of other NASCAR driver with whom I've worked. Jamie mcmurry was the nicest, Jaun Pablo montoya kicked one of the secretaries out of her car because she was driving fast enough I laughed so hard I was behind em in a golf cart. Michele therrian. Old penguins coach loved next to him and played hockey with his son. Pretty mch all of the pens team actually. A bunch of the rookies got a house in my development for a few years. Rey were ahl at the time. Now they are stanely cup recipients John leclare mark rechi Eddie olchezk

Robert Duvall. He lives on the farm behind mine. I actually found his dog tied to my dads store porch and no one came and claimed him so i took him home and named him pedro and the next day his assistant lady came and picked little pedro up at my house. i've met him a few times in my town too eating at a local restaurant.

Met Sam Huff, famous redskins linebacker, tons of times and have held countless casual conversations with him over breakfast. Pretty cool dude.

Lizard King, Andrew Reynolds, Slash, pretty much all the baker/deathwish/shakejunt dudes. Thats all i can think of now besides lots of pro golfers.

You're so cool.






You need to lighten up haha. Katy Perry obviously has thunder thighs in that picture. It's totally the angle of that picture that's making them that big. She's not a stick, she's kinda curvy. Bad thing? Nope.

yeah i live downtown Bellevue. But it's not as if he's running around town. He even attend staff meetings via skype. But I'm pretty sure this was him because this guy also had the same car (silver prius). You live in Medina? we're neighbors!
