I "met" Vlad Kramnik on a staircase. He walked down, I walked up.
I saw Barry Manilow in a hotel where I had to attend a conference.
I had a short talk with the German politician Christian Linder (actual German minister of finance) on a meeting of his party.
I met Jos Buttler (the cricketer) and shaked hands with him during IPL 2023 :/
But I guess for the chess guys reading this, the more important thing is that I have met, and talked to a International Arbiter, right guys? Cuz he's god for us. (Only when he makes decision in favor of us)
@Gerundium Didn’t you try and take him en passant?
I used to take a jazz dance class many years ago. It was (a younger) me and eight young women. One of them was the film actress Brooke Shields. Even better looking in person than on film. She was the only girl in the class I talked to. The other ones glared at me in a hostile way, I didn't care.
I saw Don Johnson (Miami Vice) coming out of a hole-in-the-wall restaurant in San Francisco in the early 90's. The young woman with him didn't look like his wife Melanie Griffith.
I didn't try to chat him up, which is good because I probably would have said something stupid, like "What brings you the West Coast?".

Was she as tall as they say?

@MrPushwood I have a distinct preference for Barbarella Jane over Hanoi Jane or any later iterations.
Yeah, all those iterations (Ted Jane, Fitness Jane, Golden Pond Jane, etc) are one reason why I now mainly just call her Annoy Jane. :)
Oh yeah, and I almost forgot about the time that my dad grossed out Karl Malden!
It was while they were still filming Streets of San Francisco. My dad had just come off the wharf there and took this big gooey chaw of tobacco out of his mouth right in front of a restaurant (okay, admittedly my dad wasn't always the most thoughtful of men). And when he looked up, there was KM sitting right there at a window seat attempting to enjoy his meal (and looking rather green at the moment).
