C Shutt Posted January 13, 2002 Posted January 13, 2002 I found this while searching through Google's archives of the aus.tv Usenet group. "From: mrblonde Subject: Russell Gilbert- top guy! (Warning: five letter word) Here's my brush with greatness: Was in the Virgin Megastore in Melbourne and saw that jolly fellow, Russell, buying a game for his PC. His method of purchasing is throwing the game on the counter (literally). He then threw his credit card at the bemused salesperson without a word. The body language was pure arrogance. I found it amusing that he plays off his loveable larrican character on TV, yet acts like a total prick in real life. Anyone else want to share an experience with a celebrity? Regards Mr Blonde." !!!
Darnn Posted January 13, 2002 Posted January 13, 2002 Wow. Intriguing. Some guy in some show I've never even heard of did such an interesting, peculiar thing. I'm sure the Aussies would enjoy this, though.
elTee Posted January 13, 2002 Posted January 13, 2002 I once saw Dawn French and Lenny Henry in Disneyland. It was in Florida, in the 'Tower of terror' gift shop. I saw her first, and didn't really think it was her, because she would be with Lenny if she was on holiday. Then I looked around and I saw him. So it was them after all. Thier kid Billy was there, cos she said 'Billy' to a kid with them.
raVen_image Posted January 13, 2002 Posted January 13, 2002 The film, The Lost World: JP:2, was filmed near where I live (Fern Canyon). I was working at the hotel that the actors and director stayed, as the van-driver. After they finished filming, they invited the staff of the hotel to their cast party. That's right, I was in the same room as Steven Spielberg, Kate capshaw-Spielberg, Jeff Goldblum, Julianne Moore, and others that I can't remember. Goldblum was the friendliest...and boy, can he play a piano. Capshaw was the most stand-offish (I will refrane from calling her a B...... ). I didn't get to really meet Moore...too bad, because she turns me on. All in all, though, it was pretty cool.
Lemon Head Posted January 13, 2002 Posted January 13, 2002 I was at the filming of the big car-park chase scene in James Bond: Tomorrow Never Dies at my local big shopping centre. It was mad!
MeddlingMonk Posted January 13, 2002 Posted January 13, 2002 Once I was in the same room--soundstage--with Henry Fonda. That's it. Dull story, really.
