I guess the most famous I've met is Screamin' Scott Simon of Sha Na Na. He's friends with my mom. Went to visit one year and he took us to his home in the valley of LA. Lovely guy, and the most insane driver I've ever met.

I've never actually met a real famous person but the closest was that I once went to school with a girl who later briefly did photo shoots for a vaguely popular magazine. I don't remember her full name but her first name was something like "Kristina" and I'm pretty sure her last name sounded Russian. She randomly friended me on Facebook several years ago but when I messaged to her, it seemed like I was talking to her manager and not her directly, it was very weird.
I met Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio and Blink 182 for a bit, it was at a festival he was acting and he came.up to me and my mate because he couldn't find the stage he was supposed to be on 5 minutes before talking to us.
