Meeting Famous People ?

Have you ever had a chance meeting with someone famous ?
Not just seen them, actually chatted.
Here are two of mine both actually on the same visit to Chicago 8 years ago.
1. Went for a mates birthday and on the first night following a few beers 3 of us were making our way back to the hotel but decided to stop in a pub for a night cap. Anyway was just us and small group of Aussies who turned out to be member of Melbourne Rock Band Jet (one of my mates recognised them, I wouldn't have had a clue).
They actually were quite shocked we recognised them invited us over to join them and bought our drinks.
2. Later on the same trip a very tall gentleman appeared from the shadows and asked us "Are there any good clubs around here ?" We explained didn't know the area that well as were from England.
Chatted with him and he started laughing.
Asked him why he was laughing to which he replied "Don't you recognise me ?"
Answered "No"
He really was shocked and said "Don't you play basketball in England ?"
Nope was of course our answer, he really was gobsmacked we didn't know him.
He confessed he was a top player called Anton (as I remember) and played for San Antonio Spurs, had sneaked out the team hotel for a beer and swore us to secrecy.
