I once met Natalie Portman at a cafe in Bondi when she was filming one of the Star Wars films. It was a group table and I noticed this very small Jewish girl who looked familiar. But I just thought she was someone I knew from around the Sydney Jewish community.
It was only when my male friend (we were there with our wives) pointed out it was Natalie Portman that we made conversation.
While she is a great actress with a strong screen presence, she is quite unassuming in person.
Did she seem annoyed that you were talking with her or was she cordial? That's a pretty cool story either way! I know some famous folks make you just wish you had left them alone sometimes.
My cousin was hitchhiking in Ireland and a big Ford Sierra stopped to give them a lift . It was Sting . A friend of mine was a pro footballer in England in the top division . That’s about it . When I was in New York there was a karfuffel behind me . Would you know who this guy is ?
That's awesome, you got to meet the property brothers while wasted lol. I've not had any cool celebrity sightings, but I did meet a rather intense person I can't really say who it is lol.
Ah I do enjoy me some counting crows as well man! That's a good song, I need to listen to them tomorrow on Pandora.
No way! That is pretty cool. Princess Di, I can't even imagine. I'm not one to give much thought to the royal family, but she was something special. My wife's uncle used to be an ambassador or cultural attache to Romania or something like that, but he had passed before I met my wife, so I never got the chance to meet him.
It is pretty remarkable that Downey turned his life around so dramatically, from the spoiled constantly drugged up and partying brat to what he is today. Hopefully that's not just PR and his behind-the-scenes life has also turned around. At least he's staying out of trouble in the press these days, if nothing else.
Yeah, I totally agree with you there. He was on a downward spiral for a while there. It's nice to see people be redeemed like that. I hope you are right and it isn't just a facade.
Your story isn’t lame at all, it’s actually fun to read because it was so unexpected. Sometimes the most random encounters are the ones we never forget. Meeting the Property Brothers by chance even in that state haha, is already a cool memory to keep. I haven’t really met someone famous in person, but I think I would also be caught off guard like you. Even if they are not always household names some people we meet like athletes or artists are still inspiring in their own way. God bless...
Wow, I watched a lot of time the tv show of those brothers on the italian tv and I like it! ❤️
I think is very funny (and so exhiting!) to meet famous people (sure, if you like them and what they do :P ). In my life the most famous person I met was Jeremy Irons while he was playing the movie Stealing Beauty close to Florence around the 1995/96. It was many years ago and I didn't have a camera or a smartphone with me to take a pic, but it was really excited for me. ❤️
In my case, when I see some famous people i avoid them. It is not i like them, but the way they behave in public, their attitude all that made me to hate. I worked for TV channels, so all meeting all the filmy personality was obvious, but these celebrate carry some arrogance and attitude and I simply hate them. Rather than valuing their presence, I give a damn on their presence... May be I am different.
I once had a hot dog standing next to Harrison Ford at a Food Truck while he was filming in Washington DC. I didn’t say a word to him since I know he can be quite ornery with the Populace. We kind of just looked at each other and nodded. What could you possible say ? Maybe he thought I was someone famous and he didn’t know what to say …..

She was quite friendly & normal. We chatted about the filming. Not annoyed at all.
How cool!
Saw her once on the NYC subway after having seen her on Broadway two years prior. She is quite striking.

No, he doesn't look familiar to me, but I don't keep up with celebrities very well.

I highly recommend their first album and Hard Candy. Those are probably my two most favorite albums of theirs.

Of all places she met her in a supermarket in London, they both reached to grab the same thing, and my wife looked up and was shocked who it was :)
Oh wow, that is crazy!

Oh wow, that is exciting. Jeremy Irons is no joke. I think I would be intimidated if I ever met him!
Meeting famous people is mostly by chance and it’s really cool that you met them the way you did. Not all chances come, lol.
!PIMP
@hopestylist here!
Yes that is a good point. Unless you buy tickets for a meet and greet, then I guess it isn't really chance.
Yeah. I think so too.
!PIMP
Cool story and I think the most famous person I met was the Queen. Love Counting Crows that is a cracking song of theirs.
Wow, the queen you say.... Very cool!
Not a lame story! You and Mrs. Bozz look happy. You made me smile. That's a gift, to enjoy life and to have that pleasure be contagious :)
Thank you!

That is definitely and interesting and different perspective on it!
It is not against the personality but their actions in public their real self

Now that is a fun story! Sometimes just being acknowledged by them is enough!
