Most of us have had at least low-level contact with a famous person, whether it’s asking for an autograph or nearly hitting them with our car. In my defence, they just stepped out.
Consequently, there were a lot of responses, and there were even a lot of excellent responses, so we highly recommend you read the replies and quotes.
In the meantime, check out these 24. They’re not quite all positive encounters, but they are all entertaining.

went to a test screening. there was a massive poster of Gary Oldman`s face in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Gary Oldman came out of the lift, double took at the poster. went and leant against the wall with one arm up, grinning until someone noticed. I laughed, he nodded, and left https://t.co/0hFyl0llTN

I was interviewing Kirsten Dunst and she was like “i love your sweater. Where is it from?” And i was like i have no idea and then she walked over checked the tag and said “Wow, it’s Forever 21. You wear it like it’s a lot more expensive.” https://t.co/63s7IZLyd5

Alan Bennett sat next to me on a train 5 years ago. I didn’t want to bother him but as I left I told him how much I loved his work. He thanked me, seemed genuinely touched, and added, ‘I saw you reading an Adrian Mole earlier; I knew Sue Townsend, she was such a wonderful woman.’ https://t.co/7YMP6A4uHA

Years ago I met Jennifer Coolidge at a party. When I said I had a play opening the next night she said she’d come. I really didn’t think she would. The next night she turned up and afterwards in the pub she made a point of telling each actor in the show how brilliant they were. https://t.co/cEbuYrboZ2

When I was a waitress, Kiefer Sutherland would come in to dine and ask “what’s your rent?” and then write that amount on the tip line of the check. https://t.co/SnSE5YrOba

Once at a BuzzFeed event, I was asked to take Meryl Streep from reception to the green room. We chatted in the elevator and she was SO kind.
I dropped her off where she needed to be and asked if there was anything else she needed. She winked at me and said “that’s all”. https://t.co/Sjt9U6WHwU pic.twitter.com/nZIG96vWKC

I did an episode of 30 Rock during their last season. When I got to the set, Tina Fey came over to me and said "I just wanna say I know you've auditioned for a lot of different roles on this show over the years, and I wanted to make sure you got on before it ended" https://t.co/yXbwKmiNj1
