I'm related to one, and therefore, yeah, met a ton of em.

Can't go to his house without falling over Stevie Wonder etc.

His recording studio did the latest stuff for Earth Wind and Fire, he did all the music for V.I.P and a buncha movies.

I knew Stacy Fergison (Fergie) as a kid, after she did kids in corporated, and had a few other minor to major celebrities I saw on a regular basis.

So yup, know/knew a ton of em.

Yeah, basically that. I've gotten autographs and pictures with various actors and musicians at cons and signings and stuff, but those are shallow "meetings" at best.

Probably the most tangible experience I've had was back years ago, when I used to play pick-up soccer games with someone from the US Olympic soccer team.

I didn't "meet" him but I saw David Copperfield doing some stunt in London. he was in a glass container living in it for like a week. not much of a trick. but anyway, I waved and he waved back but it was a huge crowd so he was probably just waving in general and didn't see me

Politicians, mostly. Mayors, aldermen, etc. Some have appeared on national tv. (And, of course, I'm always rooting for them go onto bigger and better things just so I can mention having known them =p)

Not sure I've ever done whole autograph thing or waited in line just to meet somebody. idk, maybe I did when I was a little kid. Never really seemed worth the effort for an inorganic, token meeting although I somewhat regret never trying to meet Adam West when he was alive.

There are some quasi-famous people living within 30 or so miles of me -- individuals whose work I greatly enjoyed -- but I'm not sure I'd ever bother even trying to reach out to them for the chance at a meeting.

Oh, I suppose in my case it might be more "know" than simply "met" then, since there were multiple discussions rather than just one isolated conversation.

She seemed like a promising young talent. Shame that her career was waylaid by addictions and poor decisions. You know, I sat through Big Fat Liar a few years ago and was just amazed by the obscene waste of talent in that film. Frankie Muniz was a reasonably good actor, Paul Giamatti has done superb work (and he also had his pants pulled down by Spider-Man for what I assume was a big paycheck), etc.

Yeah, but never anyone really famous randomly. Times I've met famous people have been at concerts/music festivals where the artist is chilling/dancing/walking around/drinking while someone else is performing and I run into them and say hello and chat. Like this happened with both Flying Lotus and Charli XCX a few weeks ago. Other times they have been places well I knew they would be as well.

I suppose my second cousin counts too, he is very famous, but I've only met him twice, one of which being at a family funeral.

Also two guys I went to school with from K-12 both just got signed to NFL teams this year (Mark Andrews with the Ravens and Kyle Allen with the Panthers) so that might count too?
