Default Walked down the street and bumped into....
was walking down Glenferrie road, Hawthorm (Near Glenferrie station). and who do you think stops and talks to me........CHOPPER REED! Yep thats it, he was doing some survey thingy.
It was amazing just to see the reaction from the people around. At first i thought i was dreamin, but when i was sitting down eating Macca's a uni student ran in and upto his mates saying "i just saw Chopper Reed!"

Just wondering which celebrities otehr people have bumped into?

I had to ask Lou Grant and another 2 members of Foreigner to take their smokes and glasses of beer out of the Sydney Entertainment Centre during a Joe er concert one night.
Didnt know who they were till we got them out the door,
They spewed.... called their management, called our management and generally carried on like spoilt brats..
Boss came up to me after the show,
Did you have trouble with 3 dudes tonight?
Yeah, thats right.
Do you know who they were?
I do now.
Good, it doesnt matter who they were, you did the right thing!!!

Richard Wilkins was another, turned up one night with 7-8 hangers on and carried on like real prima donna when I wouldnt let him and his friends in without any tickets!!!

I'd like to meet him, I have seen him in real life when he was signing his last book.

I have seen a few celeb's but most are boring...

As seen in the photo's thread:
I met Ayerton Senna, and spent about 20mins, one on one, nice bloke, not up himself at all.
Also met:
Harm from JAG (Can't remember his real name)at the casino in Sydney, nice bloke, chicks all over him.
Most of the Crows players at a cafe near me where they hang out.
The Queen: Well me and 1,000 other RAAF guys. (She walked about 2.5' in front of me, didn't speak to anyone and we had practised for weeks, Cow!
