Yeah when I was younger (about 7) I won a competition in school and met Ian Rush.

I’ve never been a football fan so had no idea who he was, despite my Dad/Grandad like fawning over him.

Celebrity is a condition of fame and broad public recognition of an individual or group as a result of the attention given to them by mass media. A person may attain a celebrity status from having great wealth, their participation in sports or the entertainment industry, their position as a political figure, or even from their connection to another celebrity.

Thanks

Celebrity literally is a “celebrated personality”, footballers come under that I reckon.

Especially Rashford, even if just for his work off the pitch lately.

I was 12 and in London with my family staying in a Hotel.

This guy started chatting to us and I thought I recognised him.
It only dawned on myself and one of my Brothers, after he set off.
That he was Neil Hannon of Divine Comedy.

Once I realised I was so disappointed not to have realised before, as I love their recordings.

I met Nicky Pope in a club at New Cross having absolutely no idea that he was a Charlton player at the time. It didn’t really help that my friend (who is dyslexic) was saying ”LOOK THERE’S NICKY POP!!” instead of Pope

Audley Harrison in a WH Smith in Bluewater, i wanna say 2000. I didn't know who he was, but i knew he was 'someone' just because of the crowd around him, and he was physically HUGE.

Default Have you ever met a celebrity but didn't know who they were at the time?

I think I’ve mentioned on here before, I chatted to the bloke from “Outlander” whilst waiting an outlandish ( ) amount of time to be served at a bar in Glasgow when I was on stag night. Had no clue who he was until I went back to the table and everyone was like “was that the fella from outlander??” And I had to google it, and it indeed was the fella from outlander.
