I met Robin Williams in a local pet store when I was a kid. This was in the 80s - not long after *Good Morning Vietnam* came out and he was apparently just shopping. He signed my paper bag of bird seed. He was quite kind (no surprise) and found it amusing to sign a bag of animal feed.

Alice Cooper.

He was in front of me for the line to board the plane. Actually his band called him in to the line in front of me. He turned around and asked if it was ok that he get into the line in front of me.

Chatted for a good 5 mins with him while we waited. He is completely chill and a cool guy to chat with.

Michael J. Fox sent one of his children to my school and came to speak to our class. This was after his diagnosis so everyone was very respectful and asking polite questions about his health and future and finally about 3-4 of them he goes "No one wants to know what it was like to drive the DeLorean? Or kiss Heather Locklear?"

Broke the tension in a big way. I saw him every once in a while at other school events and he was never anything but kind and personable. Wish him every kind of the best.

Didn’t exactly meet them. I saw them and they saw me. I was in selfridges in London with my mum. We were in the kitchen appliances area. In walked Alan Rickman. I saw him and instantly recognised him. I sidestepped over to my mum and said under my breath that Alan Rickman was there. Now, my mum wasn’t tall, she was SHORT. In between me walking over to her and her hearing what I’d said, a very tall black man stood in between her and Alan Rickman. She looked at me then back at him then said very loudly “THAT’S NOT ALAN RICKMAN. ALAN RICKMAN’S WHITE”
Needless to say this was heard by mr Rickman and he looked at me desperately trying to find a hole to crawl into. He smiled at me.

I met Johnny Depp at Ohare airport when I was like 8. My mom took our picture and then had him watch me while she used the restroom. He agreed and stood with me while she used the restroom, didn’t seem to bother him in the slightest. Nice guy is all I remember.

Gordon Ramsay. Made him a margarita. He was exceptionally kind. He came in the next night as well. And gave me a very friendly and respectful bow when we recognized one another.

When I was a kid in the early 1970s, Muhammad Ali moved into the same town, about a mile away from where I lived. One day, my friends and I rode our bikes to his house to see where he lived. We were at the end of his driveway when the door opened and Ali came out. We thought he was going to chase us away. Instead, he waved us down and invited us inside. We stayed for about two hours. He was as nice a man as you could ever meet.

A few years ago I had a candid quick interaction with Obama leaving a hotel out the back of the building in his secret service cars. From where I was standing about 10 feet away on the sidewalk, in the middle car he was in the back passenger seat. I didn’t have time to get my phone out (probably for the better) so I just sheepishly grinned and waved and he visibly laughed, smiled and waved back.

It was cool, Barry is the man.

John Candy. Met him when I was 9 in a restaurant. Asked him for his ketchup, my parents were mortified. Then he chatted us up for 5 mins, asked for some recommendations about where to eat while he was in town. Absolute Canadian Gentleman.

I met John Cena, he laughed at my joke, like *genuinely* laughed. He was very funny and kind! My friend asked for a hug and he gave her a very good one, not a hover-hand type thing.

It was great 🖤.
