Celebs you have met/had a tweet from?

Jumped into Jena Malone if anyone knows who that is when I was at a bar in New York.

My Wife used to work with Kate Winslet back in the 90's, Apparently she didn't turn up to work one day, So my Wife phoned to ask why she wasn't there, and her Mum said "She's gone to an Audition for some movie called Titanic"... Strangely she never came back to work after that!

Do find this odd as IMDB states she had been working as an actress since 1991, including star parts prior to Titanic. Where did your wife work?
 
Well theyre not celebrities so no but thats cool. :p

What did you say to the CEO of London air ambulance? :p
 
I don't do twitter but....

Shook hands with Bobby Charlton & Alex Ferguson when I was a guest at Old Trafford. Was interviewed backstage by Donna Air when she was working at V festival back in the day – Don’t think it ever went on air.
Numerous footballers (though mostly French/African ones that probably don’t play in the PL anymore), Joey Barton, Numerous famous Jockeys and Racehorse Trainers.

Coffee with Pete Waterman...
 
had tweets off Samuel L Jackson, Leigh Francis, Jason Manford, Adam Richman, Kurt Sutter, James Buckley, Harold Perrineau and probably a few more...

Met a ton of footy players (Phil Neville stands out as the most down to earth, humble one of them all) when I worked for the papers and a Premier League team. Also some rubbish celebs like Craig Charles and Daniella Westbrook.

The Edge and 5 Seconds of Summer where in the airport lounge with me yesterday. Didn't have a clue who 5 Seconds of Summer were until the mrs explained.

I used to live on the same road as Steven Gerrard.
 
met duncan ferguson and john barnes years ago as a kid, duncan ferguson when he played for everton when i was in hospital for a few weeks, and john barnes when he was still playing for liverpool a couple of years later, turns out his bodygaurd at the time taught my uncle martial arts, iv also met english comedian andrew lawrence after a stand up gig, and bought bill bailey a pint in a rock club, that was epic, just a nod of heres a pint, and a nod of, nice one pal, and we were both off to our nights
 
Had a pint with Paul Gasgoine
Ate donuts with a drunk Anberlin
Had a photo taken with Rupert Grint (he's rather short)
Say Hello to Richard Hammond a few times a month

Oh, and took a wazz next to Sir Bobby Robson.
 
Too many to list.
Since 1970 I've been a working musician and supported many famous artists mainly in Nightclubs and had a drink with them.
Around 1980 I worked for a PA company and did the sound for many bands including Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Depeche Mode, Culture Club and many more but all just before they were famous.
Spent an evening with Chris Barrie when I booked him for a function.
Spent 2 weeks watching football with Keith Duffy out of Boyzone but never let on once that I knew who he was until it was time to go home.

Oops forgot about my heroes Stanley Matthews, Gordon Banks and Georgie Best.
 
Way back in the day when I used to work for Vodafone on Oxford Street

Angelina Jolie - came in to purchase a contract, this was around the first Tomb Raider time so she wasnt anything like the size of celeb she is now. Remember her not being able to get a contract as she didn't have a UK address / bank account so her agent had to do it for her.
Alex Ferguson / few members of the United squad - Vodafone had the big tie up with United at the time, squad was invited down to the store. They did the meet and greet and photo op stuff and then basically walked in our stock room and told us what they wanted, they got it all for nothing.
Gary Dourdan (Warrick Brown from CSI) - Came in with a female UK TV presenter, cant remember her name, she seemed offended when I didn't have a clue who she was. Was something to do with presenting a music show.
Neil Morrisey - didn't live up to my dreams of him being like his character from Men Behaving Badly.
Gary Kemp of Spanduet Ballet fame.

And away from Vodafone, the legend that is John Hannah - Before he made it big as an actor he used to live in the East End of London. He had cats, and my mum would go around his house and feed them for him when he went away on holiday and such.

"Celebs" :p

If we are doing CEO's, then I spoke to António Horta-Osório briefly. The CEO of Lloyds. (he visited our offices after they were re-furbed) :p

I just remembered, I walked into Alan Rickman in a doorway at The Goodwood Festival of Speed one year and we apologised to each other profusely. Sadly no other words were exchanged. :(

My boy-hood hero David Seaman tweeted me about golf a couple of years ago. Made my day.

Jodie Marsh has had a twitter conversation with me before.

Apart from that nothing.
 
Brian Ross - Blitzkrieg

Blitzkrieg are a heavy metal band formed in the early 80s, and were a big influence to and friends of Metallica.

I was in a band in my youth and we were the opening band for Blitzkrieg at a gig in Washington.




Biggest deal for me was winning a competition as a kid and training in a full session with Newcastle united. This was back in 1992!
Looking back at the team list - how times have changed.

I don't follow football now but they were a great club back in those days.
 
Personally met and/or chatted with/interviewed James Hetfield, Jason Newstead, Lars Ulrich, John Landis, Zach Galligan, Kane Hodder, Danielle Harris, Gemma Atkinson, Emily Booth, George Romero, Greg Nicotero, Uwe Boll, British Doom Metal band 'My Dying Bride', spent an evening in London drinking with In Flames (Swedish metal band) that I can't actually remember much of (must have been good!)

Likely loads more that I can't recall straight away.

I don't really 'do' Twitter, so can't say much on that side of things.
