Have you ever worked with/for someone famous?

So the other week I was at my brothers and there was a guy doing his broadband saying he had done David Hassleholf and the Watford managers broadband so was just wondering if you have met anyone famous through work?

    Muh. Another of hbk's reincarnations.
  • Used to work in radio so I met a ton of famous people through work. It ranged from the Harlem Globetrotters, to the Cookie Monster, to One Direction.

    An answer isn't spam just because you don't like it......
  • I worked as a makeup artist for TV and film for sometime. I absolutely hated working with famous people due to my anxiety. I never knew what to say so was very quite and when I spoke, I just told lies for no reason, I mixed up my words etc...
    I'm glad I don't work in makeup anymore.
    The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer - I was in my late 20s when I figured out what this meant.

    I neither take or enter agreements which deal with interest. I dont want to profit from someone's misery.

    I used to work with the son of a reasonably famous actress (I can't say who though)

  • I've trained and worked with Royalty. I even went to the local with him (and his protection man) but it took an age to get served because the barmaid had trouble picking her jaw off the floor. He had an OJ and in his words ''If I have a shandy and trip on the carpet the newspapers will say I was pithed''

    I did my teacher training in a school where Ade Edmonsons sister was head teachers.

    Sadly it put me right off him!
