I MET JULIA ROBERTS!

[beefree2003]

Well my best Movie Star encounter is also with an Academy Award(Oscar) winner, and I did better than hello. I was at a cabaret performance by Miss Shirley Jones aka Mrs. Partridge when after her show she came off stage and gave me a KISS!!!! It may have been on the cheek but still a KISS.

[resurektedphoenix]

I met Bradley Cooper! He was shooting a movie a street down from my house! We exchanged names, shook hands and then took pictures :)

[NeebasAndAyirhs]

I'm so jealous!

[fUnKeYmOnKeY9090]

[McAlister120]

[JBWB22]

I once sold sinbad a pretzel when I used to work at Wetzels. Everyone was too scared to help him.... So intense haha

[GenuinelyGianni]

I was sitting in a restaurant in San Diego a couple blocks from my apartment.  My roommate and I were just sitting there, when a family sits down at the table next to us. after three minutes of sitting there, my friend leans over and asks, "Look at that woman there and tell me its not the brunette witch from Hokus Pocus." And I couldn't. So we are almost 100% sure it is her (Kathy Nijimy). Long story short Kathy bought me and my roommate dinner, than came and thanked us for being who we are.

[Paperbag121]

OMG, i live near toronto, if i ran in to u, i'd be so happy. :)

[SertavisSaviPianist]

[SertavisSaviPianist]

My best celebrity encounter was last year, well. My absolute favorite telly show called "Bones" filmed at my school :O and there I saw the two main characters of the show, which is the beautiful Emily Deschanel and sexy man David Boreanaz. And I live just 5 minutes away from the school so I ran to my hose grabbed my camera and "Bones" DVD and I got two of the season DVD's autographed, by Emily and David. And a picture with Emily, face cheek to cheek touch proximity :D it was AWESOME. :D

[MsGigi1995]

[mabean24]

[mabmd2000]

I met Elvira Kurt in Washington DC in 2008.

[crs0831]

I was totally at the MMVAs!! Whaddup. :P

[Valcuric]

That is sooo awesome!

I can't believe how you bumped into her 3 times in one day. Well the last time was kind of bumping into her, but it's still so awesome!

If I bump into you downtown I will definitely say hi. And you'll be all "who the **** is this loser...?"

[broken111108]

So. Very. Jealous! I'm not much of a celeb worshiper, but I LOVE Julia Roberts!!!

[writerchick94]

I saw Taylor Lautner when I was on Maui...not nearly as exciting in my opinion. But at the time I was kinda freakin out cause he was shirtless and this was after he got all buff.

[VincentJTran]

hahahaha im so jealous!!

[WWEQAF]

Ok... well can I count my stage door experiences in NYC at Broadway musicals? Alice Ripley, Catherine Zeta Jones, Angela Lansbury, Bernadette Peters, Sean Hayes, Kritsin Chenoweth, Kelsey Grammer, Elaine Stritch, Vanessa Wliiams, Barbara Cook, Corbin Bleu, Constantine Maroulis, Terrence McNally...?

Or how about random sightings of Idina Menzel and Matthew Morrison (IN THE SAME DAY!!)??

Richard Kind...?

Dont forget my lotto experiences with soap stars David Gregory and Scott Evans (OLTL)

[brotmann86]

i think the most known person i met at work besides some german stars was that living next door to alice guy ;-)) im jealous haha, its stupid but i think so exiting to meet famous people in their natural habitat ;-D

[colaty8P]

i was in las vegas in a gift shop of a hotel and my dad goes like, quick, come! celine dion is in the other room! naturally, i thought my dad was joking, as he always pulls jokes like that. but her persists, and keeps telling me to go and see because celine dion is really in the other room. i say, no she's not. or it's just someone who looks like her and you're trying to be funny. and he goes, no really! she's there! come see! so i go, not expecting anything. and BAM. it really is celine dion.

[skishua]

I was in Toronto and Stephen pointed out where there was a Julia Roberts sighting and now your story has so much more context now and this is a long run on sentence.

I cannot even imagine your experience though. I would faint. 

[Broadwayfreak2013]

Simion you are so freaking lucky. I'd love to meet my favorite acttor.

[Lukie99]

Okay I JUST saw this video now lol.

When I saw you walking I just thought...Oh he looks like he's going somewhere.

And you were like "in the zone" plus my friends were like "who cares" except for my friend Jade who was like " :O! From Youtube? That's so cool. Go say hi".

But I never did so meh.

[finch2museum]

You'd probably smack us if we randomly saw you and didn't say hi, fame or not. :P Anyway, awesome story!

[norlack89]

the only celebrity i've ever seen was Jay Baruchel. he was on the same plane as me heading back to montreal from LA! :D also, saw him at customs! he looked like a hot mess but damn hot none the less :P

[millykiddyo]

sounds like Notting Hill, except without the falling in love part.

also, i'm so jealous. :)

[004Daniel]

doesnt julia roberts have blonde hair now?

[Tamfict23]

joe jonas went to a museum?

[nirvanafan54]

well, i work at a grocery store. and one time. a CITY COUNSELOR came to my counter. jealous?

[horrorfanatic6990]

Katy Perry is my best celebrity encounter. I love girl! :D

[JenniferMaby]

You totally could have gone up to her and ask her for a picture with her!! that's what I would have done.

[JenniferMaby]

@JenniferMaby ok that's a lie. I work with famous people and have no pictures with them lol

[emotionsinfluences]

SO cute *lol*

[MearaSweetnam]

Lol, you're so creepy. This is completely the same reaction I have to famous people. I met Kristin Chenoweth and she told me she loved my hair cut, I almost shat myself!

[cookie29234]

That's awesome I wish I was in your place.

[zomgzombiezz]

awwh haha that's awesome!

[jazzw0rth]

Omg, that's like, the prettiest blur in the world. IN. THE. WORLD.

[AccordioningToHank]

I just met Jason Bateman and Will Arnett last week where I work! they were funny and nice :)

[TnDon]

I saw George Lucas and Steven Spielberg at a suishi restaurant in Marin County, SF Bay Area.  Couldn't believe TWO powerhouse directors at once. But they collab a lot, so it was believeable.

[mrGarrettGhost]

OMG, they way you tell the story makes it even more exiting, so awesome! I live in Belgium, and I have seen a couple of Belgian celebrities, but that's not as exiting as Julia Roberts :)

[MrBlacky678]

omg i love julia roberts!!!

im so happpy for you!!!

i met lady gaga and paris hilton once at the hamptons!

[ilovepop91]

That's awesome! I've never met a celebrity though. Been to a few concerts, but that's it.

[MasOvaltinePls]

..and she says hi back.

I. Would have. Peed. Myself.

[justcozimstrange]

I met Devon Murray from the Harry Potter Movies.

And when I was in year 7 the world's best netball player (Irene van Dyk) was a guest coach for my team for a day.

Also met loads of All Whites/All Blacks/Silver Ferns.. NZ's sporting heroes! :D

[a7medsarCA]

i met Obama and Harber

[telltalefinite]

Well, this one time I went to a party at my rich "uncle"'s house, and GUESS who was there baking cookies? FAMOUS AMOS. THE Famous Amos. The best part? Bitch burnt the damn cookies. Famous Amos: he can't bake his own famous cookies.

[ROSSofHEARTS]

i met Jane Wiedlin from The Go-Go's. she and a few of her family members came in to the restaurant i work at and i totally freaked out!! she was sucha sweetheart!

[woodlandfox2112]

I would love to stumble into you unexpectedly, Simon. Your voice (not Just your voice) keeps me looking forward to your stories....

[5038883711]

hhahahaha I love you so much!!!!!

[JaceOfSpades65]

i'd love to read the same sign as you someday

[notcalebkruzel]

[uchihaxitachi418]

[adamblogsyou]

[theclaybird]

I met John Force. He's a famous drag racer! XD

[sagenhaftlog]

I let Buddy Holly's brother steal a Snickers bar once. Definitely not as cool, but it made my afternoon...

[TheSaranaJ]

I didn't actually meet him, but I got Brad Pitt's autograph at the red carpet for Burn After Reading at TIFF a couple years ago. Also I was in the audience at for The Hour at CBC when Morgan Freeman was a guest (I've been to a few other tapings, but this was like being in the room with God).

[IBleedSkittles89]

>_<!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

I've seen a few but never anyone i really cared about =P

my coworkers at my old job did meet the lady who was in enchanted and then nick lachey as well =]

[hosinw]

That's CRAZY!! I haven't had any celeb encounters, but my aunt met P-Diddy in NYC.

[KoolCordell]

You should have been like "hi i am simion from YouTube"

[FrankieJMcGraw]

Simon, its Frankie, long time...how ya been babe?

[alexmanian]

WHY DIDN'T YOU GET HERE AUTOGRAPH?!? haha

Sadly, I have not had any celebrity encounters. This needs to change... o__O

P.S.: Favourite? haha, I love how you Canadians spell things. You guys randomly choose which words will have the British spelling and which will have the American spelling. It's adorable. :P

[StarsCirclesTriangle]

HAHA i swear julia roberts is gonna call you one day and ask you to have lunch :)

[shyyguyy111]

O.M.G. Crazy!

You handled the reading the sign beside her quite classy. Lol stocker photo. Still Julia roberts! Wow! :D:P<3

[shep689]

i think we know mine. let's not go there.

[xcassimus]

I got to interview Rick Mercer for 10 minutes over the phone for a paper, aaaand then I met him a few months later.

Wish I could say the same about the Original Pretty Woman!

[whyywarren]

SOOOOO JEALOUS!!!!!

jo jonas in front of the intercontinental on bloor

[JollyGreen303]

Such. A. Star.

[NicklyFraggle]

Yay, Simon! Here's a not so good celeb story. I'm an usher at Studio 54, the former famed disco/drug din that's now broadway theatre. One Wednesday evening I noticed Julie Andrews come to my side. So I just showed her to her ticketed seat. Later on someone else showed up with a ticket for that exact seat. I checked both tickets carefully and realized Ms. Andrew's was for the matinee. So eventually my boss got the box office to find her an empty seat. She was very patient.

[simpliste90]

One weekend two years ago I was at my old high school job in the 'burbs, and working drive thru, and who comes through, but Ryan Gossling. He came back the next day, and I was starstruck twice. :-)

[ofsamubry]

haha what a picture...i love how you can't actually see who it is. I mean isn't it entirely possible that you took a picture of, let's say...Jabba the Hut in a brunette wig? haha only kidding. But seriously, if you Google Jabba the Hut, you'll see what I'm talking about..

[Hebimaru112]

I saw the gay kid from Ugly Betty at the NYC AIDS walk and even tho he's like a z-lister I nearly died!

[boywithdreams12]

I once took a shit next to Michael Moore.

[MrsPanicAtTheDisco1]

Omg I am so jealous :(

I love her

[MrsPanicAtTheDisco1]

@MrsPanicAtTheDisco1 Erin is ma fav movie too :D

[OLDS98]

Simon, good for you. I bet that more than made your day. I bet it boosted your esteem. It is interesting when people tell the stories and what they go through. You saw her more than once. Good for you.. They are normal people too.

[ThePaag1]

i met bono when my dad's company renovated his house,it's not as big as you might think,plus who in ireland hasn't met bono?

[SimplyScott1]

This was a very cute video.

My best celebrity encounter is really sad. It's Garth Brooks.

I'm from Oklahoma. It happens. hahahaha

[jarednevin]

I met her too! Her and Ray Charles got on the same plane at lax when I was 8! She sat two seats away...I could hardly breathe! She's so gorgeous, and classy.

[ericos]

Are you sure it was the real Julia Roberts? HOLY SHIT! I've met/seen some Dutch celebs before. :]

[edgehaedjr]

You should of told her something more than hi, ahaha. Maybe that you're a fan? IDK. xD What if she sees this and comment why you didn't say something more than hi, ahaha.

Celebrity encounter... Lindsay Lohan, Samantha Ronson, Hunter Burgan (AFI bassist), AJ Michalka... that's all I can think at the top of my head.

[edgehaedjr]

@edgehaedjr Oh yeah, I was behind Damien Fahey (he hosted TRL on MTV US) and his gf Grasie Mercedes (stylist) at the airport. He got mad at me for not saying hi. xD

As for YouTube celebs, I met 3/5th of the current BeaverBunch gang. :)

[wquty]

I actually met Jack White of The White Stripes at a local theatre here in Nashville. I also met his wife Karen Elson. To be honest i was more excited to met her because she's MY FAVORITE MODEL, EVER. It was a splendiferous day.

[ew1127]

when i was 7 i went to disney world and my family and i ate dinner at this fancy restaurant. Robbin Williams was seated at the table directly next to ours....his daughter (Zelda) was also 7 and we were playing with each other, fascinated by the fish in the aquarium next to us. Then i turned and saw that her dad was Robbin Williams and i asked her a question so loud that both my family and her's could hear me (because I was so excited) "Your dad is Mrs. Doubtfire??!!" and Robbin Williams laughed!

[nothinglikeit15]

I def posted that last comment before I watched the whole video.

But my best encounter was Billy Talent FOOO SHO. You were there with me for that. But it wasn't the part when we met Ben and Ian. It was when we were walking down Queen and we saw Aaron. And like hung out with him.

UGH I LOVE TORONTONOTNTONOT

[nothinglikeit15]

When you texted me about this, I told everyone. EVERYONE. In my family at least. I told my parents like 5 times.

[Goten1992]

OMG Simon, you got connections and shiz! :D

I have only seen random local celebrities when riding my bike through the city, never actually been close to one... :p

[xanderwolly]

you are beyond cute.
