Well. If by famous you mean, known all over the world, the answer is no.
But I have met my favorite Portuguese actor personally.
(I'm a twofer... I have two favorite actors :lol: )

I have often seen or met
People who look like people who r
Famous but i go with the policy
If they say their real name they
Want acknowledgement of
Who they r
Eg. If Jim Carrey said
"Hi, Im Jim Carrey"
(cont)

I would acknowlege him as such
but if he said
"Hi,im Jim Jahooba"
That says
He wants to stay incognito
And i believe we shud
Respect that and go with it
Well known people need to
Have a life too

lol.......Jim Jahooba.... :lol: :lol: :lol:
I probably wouldn't go up to Jim for that very reason....
I did meet the writer of 'Yes Man' Danny Wallace years ago, but then i was interviewing him for JCO..... :D ...i've seen famous folk but i respect their privacy so i don't go up to them....i've seen Jerry Hall in Primark in Aberdeen....she was doing a play at the theatre here....Bryan Ferry in St Pauls Cathedral.....a Game of Thrones actor on a tube........Brian Cox...i was at a press conference for him (i'm not a journalist btw)
David Sylvian after a gig in London.....Primal Scream after an Aberdeen gig.....
i usually just smile and give a wee nod........i think they appreciate that, i certainly wouldn't ask for a selfie.

Yes,

Lance Henriksen. (Aliens, Terminator, Millenium series) Great guy, very friendly, interested and willing to talk. Funny too.

David Carradine. (Kill Bill, Kung Fu) Total opposite experience. An unpleasant man with a diva attitude.

Marilyn Munroe use to
come to Canada
Red River area and
Very few would
Recognise her
Thats probably why she came

Just to get away from the
Hollywood craziness

i can really understand that. If i were in Hollyweird i'd need a place to escape to, just to get some reality. I'm not surprised that a lot of stars seem to be visiting Canada a lot now. You have a beautiful country, amazing scenery and wildlife, a cracking sense of humour and great manners and Novia Scotia!!....what's not to like?.... :wink: :D
