    At the 2000 Final Four in Indianapolis, Earvin "Magic" Johnson walked right past me and my dad. We were just outside the RCA Dome shooting the breeze and waiting for the first semi-final game to start. I'm not really paying much attention, but I turned around at the time he's just near us. I was too shocked to say anything at the time, but he looked me in the eye and knew that I recognized him and he just flashed that huge grin of his and gave me a nod. Pretty cool I thought.

    Shook George W. Bush's hand at a campaign thing when he spoke at my high school. I expected a firm handshake from him, but all he gave was this limp-wristed shake that felt like a dead fish.

    From my days working in DC, Jeff Corwin, Kirk Herbstreit and Luis Gonzales (for those who need reminding, he had the game winning hit against the evil Yankees in the 2001 World Series) at the White House all on different occasions.

    Didn't really meet this person but a few years ago a few of my friends saw The DaVinci Code on opening night at the King Of Prussia Mall. We got there kinda early and got out seats to the back. There was a cop in the theater. One of my friends overheard he was there to hold seats for M Night Shyamalan. We didn't believe him, but sure enough a few minutes before the movie, he shows up with his wife and some friends. We didn't say anything to him though, still kinda cool. I guess he was there for the Da Vinci Code and this was the first preview for his movie Lady In The Water.

    One time when I was probably about 6, my family and my Dad's friend's family were on vacation. Somehow my Dad and his friend found out where Muhammed Ali lived and went over to his house and rang the doorbell. His butler or w.e came to the gate in a golf cart and allowed us to go inside. I guess we went into his Library and he was doing magic tricks for me and my Dad's friend's son.

    I don't really remember it, except I swear I remember playing with a toy truck in his hallway. I dont know though.

    btw this was probably back in like 1994, or around then.

    he grew a beard.

    Also in addition to the Muhammed Ali story

    In the summer of 08 when Barrack Obama was still a Presidential candidate, I literally almost ran into him.

    I was a lifeguard at a really upscale Gym/Club in downtown Chicago called East Bank Club. Obama and his family would go there sometimes when they were in town. I was on the pool deck and had to turn around and run to another pool, and when I turned around Obama was right in front of me.

    I also lifeguarded for his daughters while they played in the pool another time.

    Met and shook the hand of Terry Fox during his Marathon of Hope in 1980. He's not a celebrity, but he is a Canadian icon/legend and was a great human being.

    Well being from West Chester i've seen Bam Margera, Rake Yohn, brandon DiCamillo, Raab, Ryan Dunn (gues from Jackass, Viva La Bam, cKy) A few of my friends went to high school with them so that is pretty cool. I used to see Brandon where I worked a lot so I talk to him and he's a cool guy. I went to high school with Kerr Smith but he graduated a few years before I did, so I may have seen him in the hallway. I did graduate with his sister though.



    few weeks ago i was working my part time job at kmart in W.C. one night and this guy comes in and wants a big tv cause the one he got earlier was too small for the one that they were filming. I thought it was Bam but wasn't 100% sure. He def. looked different than the last time i saw him which was about a year or two ago. He was heavier and had a lot of tats and the voice kinda threw me off. But after seeing this video it def. was him. He looks a lot like his dad now.

    Bob Clendenin in a Tucson dive bar.
    He isn't a recognizable name but everybody knows his face and he's been on about a dozen tv shows including regular roles on Scrubs, That 70s Show, 10 Items or Less, and Cougartown.

    Only "celebrity" I have ever met.

    I saw Matthew McConaughey in the electronics department of the London Drugs at the mall by my house. He appeared to be shopping for some kind of laptop accessory, like a charger cord or something.

    Tom Selleck was filming some movie in my neighborhood when I was a kid, and I was a big fan so I spazzed when I saw him walking by (okay, I crawled under some bushes to get closer to the movie set first, lol) and ran up to him (I was maybe 7), and he patted my head and said "hello sweetie." :heart:

    At the big Kentucky State Fair, my grandma was walking through where the animals were to get cash from an ATM while my cousin and I were at the concert and she walked right passed a very drunk and red faced William Shatner with a young pretty girl on his arm...when she told me she had passed him, I told her she should have told him that her granddaughter loves him! To this day I regret having not gone with her....lol
