Wow, Rod Stewart, that's great. I really like him as he's a survivor who just keeps going and going.

Cripes, BOP, she's hot, IMO. Lucky you.  As for me, I've met several martial arts legends over the years and a few famous stars. It always is a bit intimidating at first but so far I've found them generally nice, as long as you don't go ga-ga over them.

I met Eddie Jordan in the Oxford University Parks.
Sun-star didn't know who he was.

 He owns the Jodan formula one team. He is also notably not the Head Coach of the Washington Wizards.

When I was little I actually had Hank Maggot come to my house to give a CPR lessons for a Cub Scouts meeting. Apparently he was in the NFL, and pretty noteworthy, and after he retired he volunteered to teach safety to kids. I probably still have his autograph somewhere, but football never impressed me too much.

not really famous, but I know somebody who was in Independence Day who also happens to be married to one of the voice actors from Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.
Oh yeah, and I know someone who was on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire"... twice

I met a couple of Sharks hockey players and Sharky when I was, oh, say, 7. That's not recent though, is it.
 That's all. Now the famous people I want to meet, that's a whole other story!

the topic is "met anyone famous lately" - not if you had ever met anyone even remotely famous in the past :P
I guess it depends on what you define as "lately" or if you'd all like to just discuss all the famous people that you have met ever, instead of just discussing the ones that you have met lately or recently..... ----- People who are on tv game shows are not famous :P they are just regular people. I wouldn't consider that meeting someone famous - meeting someone who had been on tv, certainly - but then again, haven't we all been on, at least on local tv? Personally, my mother has been on Jeopardy (1998) and then a couple years after that on "History IQ" (some history channel gameshow that I think has since been long cancelled). Not being famous though :P

I've met Sean Astin and John Rhys-Davies. If that counts for much.

Al Pacino! He's getting old, but ever fascinating of a person. It was in traffic in West Hollywood; he was in the passenger seat of a huge black Escalade, being driven presumably by his assistant. I was making a left onto Melrose on Crescent Heights, they were making a right, and he was checking me out, with those trippy eyes of his, just like in the movies what he does with his eyes. I stared back for a sec, then realized with a jolt who he was (he's unmistakable) then I got shy and concentrated on making my turn into traffic, but I was high off the encounter for the rest of the day. Pacino's a pretty big star - Scarface, himself! anyway...
