I have met 2 celebrities in my life Rocky Bleier and Bruce Jenner, both in profession settings. Bruce was weird even as a man

met: (all on my plane)
Hal Halbrook - low key, unassuming. Asked what the delay was about and was very respectful.
Cliff Robertson - really a nice guy, we talked about his movie "The Pilot". One of the better "airplane themed" movies.
Leslie Nelson - flight attendant (who didn't know who he was) delivered my request for him to come to the cockpit. He did and with a smile, when asked, delivered his "Airplane" cockpit speech.
Jim Fowler - asked him if he wanted to ride in our jumpseat...said "you bet".
fantastic, knowledgable guy. His most dangerous animal?...the polar bear. The only animal he said hunts humans for sport.
Kevin Bacon - good sport also. I made up my pre-flight speech that included titles of movies he had made. When getting off the plane he shook my hand, laughed, and said "that was pretty good".

I have met a number of musicians most recently the little river band last year. a bunch of packer players, most notably had a 45 minute conversation with Ray Nitschke when I was seated next to him on a flight to Green Bay back in the mid 90's. sat across the aisle from Henry Wrinkler on a plane in the early 00's

Sam Neil was a major character in Peaky Blinders. He played the guy trying to bring down the gang. His acting was good, but his irish accent didn't seem correct to me.
