Less recently, I saw Ricky Gervais on Oxford Street wearing a very Brentesque leather jacket.

Chris Weisz (star of Chuck & Buck and co-director of American Pie & About A Boy), waiting for the tube in London. I actually said hi and did the little polite fan thing.

In 1978 I saw Robert ("Wild Wild West") Conrad in the lobby of the hotel my family was staying at in Atlanta. I was 14 and just about the same height as Conrad.
I shook Masahiru Morimoto's hand at his restaurant.

She's the G0vern0r G3n3ral, BTW, iow the Queen's representative in Canada.
What made me happiest is that our head of state, who is technically the most powerful person in the country, was simply walking down the street, no entourage, no cops, no security. Just walking down the street. It made me really proud of the country.

Rod does seem a decent bloke but also he's a Tory, so, y'know. His performative good deeds are good things to do, but it'd be nice to think he also does things when there's not a press following watching him do it. Saying that, he does turn up in local pubs round here sometimes before Celtic games* and get his round in (never when I'm there, though my other half has seen him, so I can't add him to the celebrity spotting thread in my own right, closest I get to watching football in the pub with a celeb is Paolo Nutini)
* Probably because we're right next to the airport - Tom D will be aware of his old haunts of the Wee Barrel and the Watermill Hotel

Getting a round in? That doesn't sound like Rod, he's notoriously the most tight fisted man in rock music... apart from Ray Davies of course.

I ran into Joe Biden at a CVS in Wilmington, DE on Easter Sunday in 2017. Got to say hello and shake his hand. I think that has to be the high water mark for my celebrity sightings.

Banal celebrity sighting: I got on a train with John Inverdale last week. He was carrying a golf bag and looked like he'd just got up.

That will only mean something to a particular subset of UK posters and even to them will mean less than a shrug.

Talking of banal "celebrity" sightings, I just this minute saw Ian Blackford on Holloway Road. He was hand in hand with his wife (I assume), which was kind of sweet.

Corbyn. He was crossing the road in front of me or else I would have said "Mornin' Jeremy".
