Carrying on from the man crush and Carl Foggarty threads, I'm wondering which celebs have you met entirely by accident, if you talked to them and how they were. Lets not count those you stalked
For me: Lewis Collins of The Professionals fame about 20 years ago. A friend and I walked into our local and he was on his own having a pint at the bar. We got talking as my mate had just been accepted for training with the Parachute Regiment and I knew Lewis did a fair bit of sport parachuting including with members of the Para display team. Was a top bloke, very chatty, not at all up his own bum. Liked his drink (or 6). Met him a few times in the pub while he was performing in a play in Bromley.
Windsor Davies, from It Ain't 'Alf Hot Mum. A bunch of us chaps were going for a curry and popped into the pub opposite for a freshener beforehand. He was in there having a chat to the owner. I think we just told him we all loved his performance (several of us having been in the army). Again a very nice bloke and called us all 'lovely boys' which he probably is sick and tired of, for buying him a drink.
The brunette actress who played the female Officer in Soldier Soldier. Bumped into her in a pub and didn't recognize her until a mate pointed out who she was. Could have been anybody really because no-one was talking to her as if she was famous.
Jason Leonard, the rugby legend. A bunch of us chaps and wives/gf's went to a Harlequins game as part of a birthday treat. He walked in the in-ground bar with half the playing team afterwards. Genuine down to earth bloke, passionate about the game and all that goes with it. Could have chatted to him all night to be honest. Told us loads of stories about nights out on tours, but couldn't remember who it was that Wade Dooley knocked out with a banjo
