what are your stories? i met Ryan Lochte in a bar and gave Hulk Hogan 2 pieces of gum, because apparently thats what he requires "brother"
 
My grandpa raised the American flag at an MN Twins game. It was versus the Blue Jays and Corey Koskie rose the flag for Canada. So I met Koskie.

Also, I literally bumped into Burt Rutan at Oshkosh Airventure. He created SpaceShip One.
 
Met Tiger Woods at the Prime in PC

Met a few pro golfers while working at a golf course

Only remember Mickelson and Trevino

I feel like I'm forgetting someone
 
talked to the singer of Cage the Elephant for about 10 minutes on the beach after their concert and rode on Tom Wallisch's skis
 
Got a picture with tyrese and eva mendez like 12 years ago in california.

Met a bunch of pro snerrberders, musicians, but not really many famous people otherwise.

I mean seen some but no real encounters that I remember.
 
Khai krepela helped me out of a pond after I skimmed it and I looked like I was drowning.

And I saw Roger Federer at an airport when I was like 12.
 
I met Tom Wallisch after dumont cup a couple years ago. I rode the chairlift with Andy Parry a few times this year, he also tried to get me to buy wizard wax after I died on a corrugated pipe.
 
Idk if this counts but I talked to Nick Goepper for a couple minutes at Davanza's in PC while waiting for my food
 
Shot skis with Mr.Bishop will always be my claim to fame. I've met a lot of known skiers. Henrik Harlaut, Phil Casabon, LJ Strenio, most of the Tabarnak Pack, The Bunch and I think I may be forgetting some. Steve Stepp looked in my direction at an after party one time. So that was kind of cool.

Met the Jonas Brothers in an elevator one time. I've met most of the Buffalo Bills team while training for Rugby. Also met a ton of people when I coached at woodward(gymnastics). Met Marth and Bela Karolyi at Nationals back in 2009. Definitely pretty cool.
 
Skated with Ryan Sheckler at a skate park near my house as well as surfed with a bunch of pros like Matt Banting, Gabriel Medina during the AoS

It would be hard to not to punch him if I ran into him.
 
I was texting walking up a couple of stairs to my friend's parents restaurant, i literally walked right into Rupert Murdoch and had no idea until i got through the doors and they were all laughing at me.

Yeahh! It was someone's house but it like used to be a barn or something? I think thats what someone told me..but yeah thats it!
 
a while back my mom was in toronto for work while the TIFF was going on, and while she was waiting for her car at the hotel valet will ferrell started chatting her up. but my mom didn't recognize him and she'd had a long day so I guess she wasn't very friendly. then the valet told her it was him
 
Went to watch a Manchester United versus Real Madrid soccer game and got to see their training session the day before. Shook Ronaldo's handr and even touched his glorious hair. It was a good day
 
Had a few encounters, but the best was chilling with Aesop Rock, just shootin the shit for about a half hour after his show. Really engaging, interesting dude.

Not really a 'celebrity' but i've also met Bernie Sanders on multiple occasions.

I used to work as a home appliance delivery driver/installer for Best Buy (*sigh*) and have actually been in the homes of a handful of celebrities (many of them own vacation homes in Stowe.) Most of the time I only met with the caretaker of the home, only met a couple celebrities in person that way.
 
Shook Johnny Damon's hand after a redsox game. Walked past Tom Bergeron heading into the former fresh city in Portsmouth, NH (Host of Dancing with the Stars and Americas Funniest Home Videos). He's really short.
 
I've skied with laker and goepper in their early pro days at carinthia, my brothers best childhood friend was in american idols top 3 last year, I've skated with him prior to his fame, had lunch with glen plake. Mostly ski related celebs
 
I met Trish Stratus and Jason Priestley while working up at Sun Peaks. They were there for a concert put on by Much Music. Jason Priestley is really short, but the woman he was with was hot. I convinced Trish Stratus to buy a horrible Alpine Canada hat and she ended up wearing it on the air.
 
Apparently two girls from my town went to a Shaggy concert and stayed after by the stage and the manager brought them on the bus. Apparently one got nailed by his manager and the other by Shaggy himself.
 
I met Fred Armisen at JFK airport.

I sat next to Kevin Garnett on a plane when i was in the third grade, that same time I got to meet Flip Saunders.

other people too.
 
Get my haircut at the same place barber as Brad Marchand when he is in town so have met him a few times, have seen crosby in the grocery store, and nathan mackinnon before he was in the NHL.

I dont really care for hockey but the Halifax area seems to spit out NHLers left right and center and they tend to hang around in the off season.

And Chris Hadfield is an adjunct professor for my program, so Ive met/ been lectured by him.
 
i took a piss next to macklemore in the seattle airport, skated with sheckler the other night, and met chad reed last summer. also met wee man at cars and coffee, as well as quite a few formula d drivers
 
Mark Walburg was on my flight to Hawaii, he then stayed in my hotel. My mom and little brother went swimming with dolphins with Walburg's wife and kids.

3 months later he stayed in the same hotel as my parents.
 
I met Wolf Blitzer once in a hotel. Everyone was hesitant to approach but I just asked him, are you Wolf Blitzer? He said yes. And that was pretty much it.
 
Russ henshaw and co. stood behind me in line at breck and made a bacon comment about my skis.

Forrest greg and the Steinbrenner family are good family friends.

I loaded joe jurevicius' car with mulch the other week.

Also met a few well known chefs through my job

I went boating with Jamie Andersen and Hannah Teter.

B-dog and I are homies.

Then there was this swedish dude with dreads who I guess was pretty famous too.

I met the fat dude from American History X at the beach.

Kenny Chesney high fived me while I was running.

David Lesh is a huge douche bag.
