I have been reading this old topic... and laughing with you all... I have to say that all my experiences on meeting famous people who i have looked up... have been normally disapointed... i mean bad... i was a fan of Lenny Kravitz during long time and i had the chance to see him then of a concert... and i think it would have been better to not meet him ever... then of it i still like his music but i left to admire him... so i prefer to not meet anyone more who i like or admire, in this way i'll keep the ilusion

Haha, yes, this did become a funny topic.
I might be wrong, but I don't think misstooky was actually there (at the Baftas) for Joaquin. I think her main reason was for Eddie Redmayne; though she was happy to meet to Joaquin too, obviously.
Like they say, best not to meet your idols: but it's probably best not to have idols in the first place too. Lol.

admin wrote:I'm glad to hear that Joaquin fans would actually like to meet him! If they didn't, who would!  Let's play a game of what if... If you saw Joaquin in the street walking down the street towards you, on his own, keeping his head down and just going about his business as people do. There's not many other people around... and the odds of you being in this situation again are slim to none... what would you do and say, if anything? 
I would say : " Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you..." and if he said "Not now" I would leave him alone and if not I'd introduce myself. I like to keep it polite 
There is a funny memory that is related to this topic.. An older lady I met once told me that when she was young she once crossed Jimi Hendrix on the street and she kissed him on the lips. She didn't seem to regret it at all Edited by user Sunday, December 29, 2013 11:59:37 AM(UTC)

Joaquin is in your area!?  What an opportunity! Are you tempted to go see the Woody Allen movie shoot Mystaria? Who else have you been fortunate enough to meet? |

NO he did film around in my area, tho when he filmed Signs and The Village!!:)
NO! I haven't thought about going to RI. maybe i should? I don't know about that, what are the chances of meeting him while shooting anyway really? Do you know admin?
I met Johnny Depp at the auto show in Philly back in the 80's when he was promoting 21 Jump St, waited in line 3 hours, but it was totally worth it!:)
I saw M. Night walk around Philly across the street from me actually at Sharswood school here (I was on the payphone but couldn't get the courage up to bother him so i just let him be).. when he was filming Unbreakable.
I saw Mark Wahlberg film Invincible right down the street from me!
I met Skeet Ulrich, and Courtney Cox . i won a trip to CA in 96 from Q102 radio station to go to the Scream Premiere and after party!! I got a pic of Skeet too if you want me to upload them here.:)
I met Andrew Mccarthy while he filmed Mannequin on So st here.
I met David Faustino from Married with Children at a car show here in philly as well back when Married with Children was on the air too.
I met Keanu Reeves.. back in the day, have a Dogstar charm necklace and dogtag too:) If you wanna see pictures.. of the charm and necklace. they are rare hardly anyone has them, but people who work for them and the band themselves.:) I got lucky hehe not in that way MIND YOU! LOL!
I could go on as you can see, i have a list lol.. but i don't want to bore you lolol hugs xoxo

You should go to Rhode Island and then Massachusetts when he films there between now and the end of August. It might be an experience you'll never forget, plus you will get to share your amazing story here, if you wish.

Thanks for sharing your experiences Mystaria!
Maybe fate will bring you and Joaquin together one day, probably in the most unlikely of places!  |

Hey man, I would just walk right up to him and drop my pickup line. Then I would wait to see if he either laughs or looks at me like I'm crazy. Then I would hold out my hand and introduce myself. I'm sure if I asked him out, he would think I was being too forward and I want our first encounter to be funny and humorous.

I Think it's flattering to ask a guy out, honestly!:) Using humor wouldn't hurt either. i am sure it would be a different and unique to get his attention. and with asking him;) xoxo

I guess that works for most people, but every time I have asked a guy out, I get turned down. :( So I just try to be funny and witty. Hey, but if it works for others, I say, go for it. :)

Here is me with Archie, aka David Archuleta, he was so kind and nice. I almost fell on and crushed the dude lol and he was soo sweet as to help me up.. he didn't have to but he did. I met him backstage at the Wells Fargo Center.:)
I also met Vincent Donofrio in the East Village, as a drive by meeting. Nice guy. we got to wave to him and he waved back. hope to meet him again when he does a poetry reading in NYC!:) I'm a huge fan of his too. He is awesome also!!
