at a Second Viennese School concert tonight I saw... WILL FROM TFI FRIDAY!!!!
It took me ooh maybe half an hour to remember who he was, and also that he was a famous person rather than someone I'd met at a conference or a party or some such.

Oliver Platt attending a Broadway matinee of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? I only see schlubby character actors in audiences. Somehow resisted the temptation to bark some lines from Bulworth at him.

talked to Stephen Moyer yesterday at work for twenty minutes. Didn't know who he was but figured he was probably an actor, and was clued in later that it was "Vampire Bill" from True Blood that had stopped by,

I see the guy who played Ashley Peacock in Coronation Street in my local supermarket sometimes. I also sat next to him on a train journey once.

Whenever I see him there are always people nudging each other and whispering as he walks past. I remember one time where this guy shouted 'Ash-LEH, I say Ash-LEH' at him after he had disappeared round a corner. I think that must be the worst level of fame in some ways- famous enough that everyone recognises you and you have dicks shouting catchphrases at you, but not famous enough that you can live in a bubble and don't have to schlep around ASDA on a Saturday afternoon buying groceries.

Last month I stood next to Steve Coogan at a bar in Edinburgh. We were pretending not to know who he was, then someone else spotted him and he was suddenly surrounded by fangirls and fanboys all wanting photos and autographs. We left, and then found ourselves standing next to Angus Deayton, who attracted no attention whatsoever.
I forgot to mention last year that we saw Paris Hilton in the MGM Grand in Vegas, sat next to Minnie Driver on a flight from Vegas to LA, and saw Rob Kardashian on Rodeo Drive. I feel we did LA properly with an actual live Kardashian sighting (though we had no idea who he was, were alerted by a gaggle of screaming Australian teenagers).

He phoned the call centre where I work, I guess it would more accurate to say.

What's Kevin Shields like irl
― hate the christian murderer propiganda love the guinea pig vid (bends), Sunday, 15 September 2013 13:05 (ten years ago) link
completely unprepossessing and drably dressed as u would expect, i don't think he was 'with' anyone although he spoke to a few people inc the person i was with who had some tangential connection to creation back in the day and exchanged a few polite words, bashful and slightly avoidant demeanour but i think he broke a hint of a smile at something
no chinchillas on his person
― Lama Bloody SwagYurt (Nilmar Honorato da Silva), Sunday, 15 September 2013 13:17 (ten years ago) link
Kevin Shields is an unassuming, nice guy who I've met a few times because another member of MBV used to be my neighbour and flatmate of a good friend, so he'd come to good friend's birthday drinks etc. He once went off on one to me about some conspiracy to put silica in weed, thus slowly killing all of London's pot smokers, which is the kind of thing the uh oversmoked tend to come up with, while chatting.
