Not me, but a mate has a second house in Skiathos (I think) and a couple of doors down is a restaurant that they spend a lot of time in. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell also spend a lot of time on Skiathos in the summer and in the same restaurant and they have ended up on friendly terms over the years. Apparently they are very ‘normal’, approachable and friendly when they are there.

I'm friends with actor Eamon Walker (one name among many). He mainly does theatre but was in original series of The Bill. He was allowed to choose whatever christian name he wanted for the program and after a few beers one evening chose mine. He was also in "In Sickness and In Health" playing gay home help Marigold. I've met Warren Mitchel and Una Stubbs several times socially when they were working.

Waaaaay back in the day, I was working as a cycling courier in London and met loads of famous people. Standing outside a building one hot sunny day in tight lycra looking sweaty, Gillian Joseph rear ended the car in front whilst looking at me (low speed). :D . Also whilst working as a cycle courier I've been on several news broadcast riding past the Old Bailey, Royal Courts of Justice, that sort of thing.

He got some trouses on and we went outside. Got some Texaco/ Heron Suzuki stickers and took a photo of him with my sister.

SiL used to work at No10, he gave use a guided tour one Saturday, held the Olympic torch and sat in the same seat that Barack Obama had.
The same seat that Obama had what in? Sat, shit, dozed off?

I ate in a restaurant where Robert Duvall was also eating. He played the legal advisor guy in the Godfather films.

He left a big tip.
