I hate when that happens. I once seen Chris Evans (No comparison) in Camden Market, but he just walked past, laughing at people who pointed or went up to him. Now I think back, it was rather funny.
^ I saw Brian May in Kensington High Street, but I blanked him. (hate Queen). I was in East Finchley (trying to score ironicaly) and asked a guy in a playground with a kid for directions. It was Fergal Sharkey. I said "You're Fergal Sharkey." (Duh!) He said "sometimes." (Cool response.) Shook my hand. That's me in the Bumping Into Celebs game.
I salute your Brian May Blanking. I once seen the drummer out of The Futureheads (New 'big' band from my hometown) walking around Sainsbury's looking for recognition during his shopping. He was blanked on the Dry Rice isle..
There's a story I heard (probably myth) about a guy who recognised Mick Jagger in a nightclub. Went up to him and said "please please Mick, I'm with a girl I'm trying to impress. When you walk past can you just stop and say "hi John" so I can impress her." Mick agrees, walks past and says "Hi John." The guy looked up, sighed, and said "f*ck off Mick."
nah, I reckon if I slipped on them shades, it might look uncanny. It's just the hair and stuff - wild at the time. Don't really have the same face But I can see where you people are coming from. Photographs are an odd thing, sometimes look pretty different on them
