Random Celebrity Meetings

[smithlane]

I went to Junior School with Keira Knightly, she was 2 years below me

My very good friends half brother is Peter Cox from Go West. I never realised they were a big deal until I was older, just remember all of the platinum discs on the wall of her house.

I sat next to Zoe Ball on Live and Kicking, she said she loved my shiny satin trousers 😂

My sister used to work in the theatre industry and has worked alongside many famous actors. She worked for Kevin Spacey when he was Artistic Director of the Old Vic and the late Roger Lloyd Pack who she says was the perfect gentleman.

My favourite celebrity story (that I think I’ve shared before) is my sisters friend was the dresser for Idina Menzel when she played Elpheba in Wicked. They struck up a friendship and stayed in touch after she left the show. Years later (post Frozen) when Edina came over to England they met up and she sang ‘Let it Go’ for her toddler daughter whilst on her lap who hadn’t got a clue who it was. I always think how many parents would rip off an arm to have Elsa sing live to their children 😂

I used to work in film and TV, so lots.


But in non-work situations:

Tim Burton - on a BA flight to LA

Daryl Hannah - sitting next to me on a UA flight from LA, back to London. In fact, it was her assistant and hair stylist sitting across the aisle, but she switched places on take-off, so she could sit next to her assistant, as Daryl had a major case of fear of flying.

Back in the day, the boy-band Blue -- I kept bumping into them all over London.

Jarvis Cocker - also stalked me, as I kept bumping into him in various train and tube stations.

Damon Albarn -- mostly on planes, but also train stations. Sat behind Jackson Browne, on a flight to CPH. Damon and Gorillaz, were at the very back of the plane on the same flight.

our PM Boris, a couple of years ago at my local tube station.

Anthony Stewart Head (Buffy), sat behind me on a flight to Toronto. The only time I have ever asked for an autograph on a flight. He was charming.

Rob Brydon sat across the aisle from me, on a BA flight to Dublin. He was in the BA inflight ad at the time, and looked sheepish when it came on.

Kaiser Chiefs - stayed at the same airport hotel in Toronto. In fact, we all shared the same free airport shuttle bus. Ricky didn't say a word, but for some reason, he carried all of my luggage on and off the shuttle.

He was on our flight Manchester to Orlando! We were sat at the back up stairs in PE, and he sat in front of us. He made it obvious he was there though, fixing the top of his chair and looking directly at us. We ended up talking to him for a few hours, stood at the side of the seats by the fruit bowl!
He ended up walking with us to the immigration room then we saw him again at the carousel! All throughout he referenced his famous boss
He owned a villa on the 27
I think this was in 2009
