Famous people, preconceptions busted/confirmed
Discussion
I met Bill Goldberg (WWE Wrestler) at Goodwood last year.
Really nice chap, despite the fact he had apparently just crashed into the haybales in a stock car, posed for a photo with me, I made him look short but his arms are about the same circumference as my thighs.
Met Ben Fogle years and years ago at the airport, drove him through on my little buggy, he didn't say anything other than "Fine, thanks" and then "Thanks, bye" to me
I've also met Andi Peters a couple of times, he's fine.
And then last Friday, I went to get my haircut after work at my normal barbershop and in the chair already was Harvey "hello you c**t" Price. I didn't really have any preconceptions of him at all, but he was just a really pleasant young man, given his obvious difficulties he was chatting away to the barber just fine, and the chap who was with him, apparently Katie Price's current boyfriend, chatting away.

Jude Law, wandering through Venice on his way to a shoot. Mrs A ran after him like some total physco and once she caught him up, said, 'are you Jude Law, my mum loves you'. 
Lovely chap, not only did he not run away from the mad woman, he even posed for a picture with her Fuggler.
Said Fuggler was so chuffed afterwards he had to have a spliff to calm himself down
He recently came in to the hall where my wife helps run a toddler group; he came in with his child asking to use the loo for him/her, the wife said he was lovely but it was funny as all the mums who were milling about and chatting where all of a sudden all congregated near the entrance by the time that he left, the wife got a screen grab from the CCTV of him walking in.Lovely chap, not only did he not run away from the mad woman, he even posed for a picture with her Fuggler.

That is just ACE! Makes me wish I'd saved all me old teeth. Especially those REALLY decayed ones.
Then I could have made my own Fuggler from bits of old boiler suit, discarded underpants and buttons from my dead grandad's cardigan.

I forget who this story was told about, but celeb in a restaurant, bloke walks up to the table, celeb says 'If you don't mind, I'm just trying to have a quiet meal with my family'
Bloke says 'Of course Sir, but I'm your waiter'
There was that case years ago when someone was standing in a queue in a shop, taking no particular notice of the bloke in front of her when he span round and said 'Yes, I am Jeffrey Archer', Apparently it didn't occur to her to say 'Jeffrey who?' until it was too late.Bloke says 'Of course Sir, but I'm your waiter'
Met Milo Ventimiglia (This is Us) on flight - he was trying not to be seen and came on pretty much last with a cap down low and sat next to us, but Sister D has eyes of a hawk and watches the series religeously. Had a brief chat getting back on the plane after our first went tech as we were taxing... spoke exactly like he does on TV which shouldn't really have come as a surprise as much as it did. Super tiny guy thou - listed as 5'9' on imdb but no way even close to that!

Having worked in the hotel industry for many years I’ve met a lot of sportspeople/celebs/musicians etc.
No horrors to report from memory.
Most memorable was Rik Mayall. Absolute lunatic.
Tiff Needell once gatecrashed a wedding we had on in the hotel and was soon on the dance floor with various bridesmaids.
Another famous ex F1 driver took a shine to one of my female bar staff. Less said about that the better but I had to have words with her about her responsibilities and professional standards whilst on duty.
