*NO POLL TOMORROW - poll will resume on Friday*
Last night we were reminiscing about when we met a few celebrities in the past, which led to me starting to wonder if any of you have met a celebrity. When I say “met a celebrity”, what I mean by that is you met them and talked with them for awhile. So, I’m curious today……
Have you ever met an spoke with a celebrity?
If yes…..did you take a picture with them?
How many celebrities have you met?
(multiple choice)
*A celebrity is defined as a famous person.
This can be anyone famous, not just a movie or TV star
For Me……I’ve met many, but no one recently - everyone I met was during my 20’s.
During our Chicago clubbing days we met Walt Willey from All My Children - he hung out with us one night.
Another was Wayne Arnold, who was the older brother in The Wonder Years - he sat our table for awhile (different night than Walt Willey)
Both I do not have pictures with - we were at a club and I wasn’t carrying my camera.
My DH is a huge Indy Car Fan and is known by some at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Back before kids I would go with him into the garage area and I met many drivers (present day and past/retired). One year I was very pregnant with my first and some drivers invited me to come sit in their garage for awhile. There I spoke with them and met their families - it was pretty awesome. I do have some pictures with them.
I’ve seen other celebrities in Chicago, but I never met them - I just saw them from afar.
