celeb-stalking
03Nov09
Sometimes when I am walking somewhere I look at the person walking in front of me and try and work out which famous person they look like from behind. Everybody looks like at least one famous person if you’re only considering the back of their head and general body shape.
This morning on my way to the office I followed Krishnan Guru-Murthy through the underpass beneath the train station.
Have you followed any famous people (actually famous or pretend-famous like this)?

How much is your blog worth?

Clive Owen walked past me and a friend once but I couldnt tell her until he had passed. When I did, we turned around and followed him into M&S, we were halfway up the veg aisle when he turned around and looked at us, so we feigned interest in the potatoes, then turned around and left. Was good though, got a proper look at him and he was very tall dark and handsome!
I did have have a comment, but I think this clip speaks for me.
(Stupid auto embedding link, I didn’t want to do that, you may have to manually skip to 1.34)
I’ve been told I look like Brad Pitt
From a long way behind……..
I haven’t followed anyone (that I remember), but I did meet Patrick Dempsey and Oliver Platt in town. I’ve also seen Kelly Preston around town, because her and John have a house on the island, and I heard Kirsty Alley is around quite a bit too!
I bet you see loads of celebrities living in London though?!
I saw Martine McCutcheon walk past a coffee shop once years ago…erm and Rhys Ifans nearly spewed all over my nice new shoes once near Oxford Street after a night out (we had no idea who he was until afterwards). My sister has spotted Christian Bale in a bar before.
The back of Hugh Fernly-Wittingstall definitely lives near me. But he keeps on smoking cigarettes… I never had Hugh down as a smoker…
On a plane back from South Africa I queued for the toilet with Darren Gough..(ex English Cricket player)
Kate Thornton and Simon Pegg are always out and about at Christmas time in my home town as they’re from here originally. I had a drink with Simon a few years ago after a play both our mums were in. He’s a lovely guy but appears to hate all of the attention he now gets when he comes home.
Sharon Davis, the swimmer, is always wondering round town as she lives nearby but she is ridiculously tall so hard to see anything of her other than her back.
Had an encounter with Prince Harry in his VW (why do posh kids always have vw’s?) in a country lane although he was followed by about 20 undercover polcie cars. He’s a twat
You must celeb spot all the time in London?
Well, i don’t live in London anymore and Woking isn’t known as a celeb haunt
Even when I lived up town, I didn’t really see any famous people. I walked past Caroline Monk on Oxford Street once but I’m not sure she’s that famous.
I met more famous people down in Little City through my “job” there – various Radio 1 DJs, Kevin Sacre, Jodi Albert…
Er, actually, I forget…
When I was about eight, I met Paul Daniels and showed him a card trick. It was that really basic one where you look at the bottom card on the deck and then cut the deck in half and use that bottom card to find the one you’re looking for. He wasn’t very gracious about it and to this day I think he is a sour old fart for not just humouring me. I was only a kid for god’s sake.
I was on the same sleeper train as Jimmy Saville once. When I was about 7, Carol Vordaman came to visit my primary school. I had no idea who she was at the time. And I met Dom Jolly once when I was an extra on Trigger Happy TV. He advised me not to wear my suit jacket underneath the panda costume because it’d be too hot. He was right.
This isn’t quite the same but when I lived in Somerset I used to go drinking every Friday night with Tony Head (Giles off of Buffy). He’s going to be a studio guest on the podcast in the new year. I once interviewed the World’s Rudest Singer for an Irish magazine. He spent the entire 20-minute interview not speaking to anyone no matter what questions were asked.
