Let us know your interesting fun stories with famous people!

I once attended a tech conference in Silicon Valley, where I unexpectedly bumped into Elon Musk. I was exploring the exhibition hall, fascinated by all the innovative technology on display, when I saw a small crowd gathering around one of the booths. Curiosity piqued, I made my way over and was surprised to find Elon Musk himself demonstrating a new Tesla feature.
Seizing the opportunity, I joined the conversation and asked him about the future of AI and space exploration. To my surprise, he was incredibly approachable and enthusiastic, sharing his vision for how technology could transform humanity's future. He even cracked a few jokes about how AI might surpass humans in creativity.
After the impromptu chat, he encouraged us to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, inspiring and motivating us. It was an unforgettable encounter that reminded me of the power of innovation and the importance of thinking big.

Wow that must have been a very informative conversation! Elon Musk is a huge name! Quite the story, Ben!

I'm old and there are loads. a ton of footballers. A couple of politicians. I used to play and train with some big RL names. I have a fair amount of mates who are 'famous' musicians, and I know a couple of actors - Earl Brown and Jim Beaver two of the 'big' names, I guess. Stephen McGann, too.

Sam Ryder. I was making my way to the bus station when I randomly saw him promoting his Christmas song! I'm a Eurovision fan so I consider myself lucky :h:

Yes, probably :yes:
Or Joseph Quinn performing at Lamda?
I met Rainn Wilson (Dwight from the office) when he was giving a talk at one of my dad's colleague's friend's (a comedian) house about religion. Tbh I had no idea what was going on and say next to him. He swore once or twice and just patted me on the back and went "sorry about that, there's gonna be a bit of swearing today". Very chilled guy and interesting as well, still remember his talk 5-6 years later.

Jealous! Easily one of the best athletes we have ever had after this year's tour, always seems such a humble bloke as well, one of the only people I'd actually really like to meet IRL
