Do you know anyone famous?

[Bernstein]

It could be an athlete, artist, actor or even a local celebrity... in your neck of the woods.

I would think you have to be at least an acquaintence. Do you know anyone famous? A UFC fighter?

Me? Nopers. No one. Just good friends... none 'famous.'

i know many musicians though only .0003% of the board would consider them "famous".


Jasmine St Claire is probably the most notable number i have in my phone.

See, that's what I'm talking about. Even if you know someone famous in your neck of the woods. Cool. I might have known Jonathan Toews (Chicago Black Hawks) 'cause he's from Winnipeg, but I don't.

I'm pretty much in MattyD's position. I used to jam out with the dudes from Byzantine because I played in a band a block from where they played so we'd always hang out and write ****.

^^ If you're a big fish in a little pond, that's cool in my books. Had I known Jonathan Toews or Mike Ridley (both NHLers from Winnipeg)... you guys would have been, who?

This thread made me think......I lived in NY for most of my life where celebs hang out....but no, I never saw anyone famous around my way. Not even a semi-famous Dominican singer. Aside from concerts, I never even been close to someone famous.

Guess I'm not a fame whore.

I used to play soccer with the bassist for Theory of a Dead Man, before they hit 'big time'.

[JSporty1]

damn...accidentally clicked "yes," when the answer is a resounding "no." I have met and spent time with a few notable people, but I can't really think of anyone semi-famous who is a friend or even an aquaintance that I speak with on a regular basis.

In 1977 I lost a dollar in a game of 8-ball to Sylvester Stallone's double.
Does that count?

They were filming F.I.S.T. in Dubuque, IA (my home town) at the time. The
actor/double's name was Tony Mazerri/Mazelli/or something similar; he was
a dead ringer for Stallone in profile, but not straight-on. He was from Clinton,
IA where I'd just graduated from juco.

I know....great story.
