Pressing Flesh

Who are the most famous people you've ever met and talked to (or perhaps shaken hands with, at least)?

I met Maria from Sesame Street when I was child and took a picture with Oprah when I was a child in the 80's. That's a true story.

Did his bodyguards intervene? 😵

I've met Bon Jovi, Robert Plant and went to school with Jamie Oliver. I wish I'd met a better class of famous person. My Dad has met George Bush Senior and Prince Charles.
