Is there anything interesting to do with famous people other than fuck them?
Sounds like a good question for a study. "Excuse me, Mr. Idol, but there's a study to see if there's anything more interesting to do with you than fuck you. Could you spare a couple of hours?"
although if plotzing is a likelihood, I'm have to avoid them entirely (cf Eric Idle).
When I ran into him in the hotel we were staying in (on the same floor!), I had to seriously work at containing myself for an entire elevator ride. I was about to bounce off the walls and chatter like an iditot. I did manage to squeek out, "Good evening."
If only someone had told me this before I visited 10 Downing St.
Not in the 80s, surely.....
I was at a party with Peter Reigert once and all I could think the whole time I was chatting about the food was "Dude, you were in
Animal House
and
Crossing Delancey
and
Local Hero!
Three of my favorite movies ever!"
But I was sure I would come off like Chris Farley on SNL if I opened that door, so I stuck to discussing the lamb.

Oh, yeah, baby.

I'd have died with the effort. As it was, every time I saw him it was easy (if somewhat abrupt and odd) for me to spin on my heels and walk away.
MM was very proud of me for not losing my shit when we rode the elevator with Eric McCormack.

Heh. There are certain people I might pull out a more obscure item off the resume to do something like that with (in my head, not in real life). "I loved you in SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM!"
eta Or in the case of Eric McCormack, FREE ENTERPRISE.
Robin, I'd have been too tongue-tied to discuss anything rationally, pinballing from lines from Crossing Delancey to ones from Local Hero, salted with ones from Oscar.
I can't manage to deal normally with celebrities. Unless they have a small child or a pet with them, then they're just human and approachable and there's a small-talk making possibility.

See, this one time, I was in a store and Chris O'Donnell was there with a small child. Not even vaguely approachable, because the kid was dressed as Batman, and it was the cutest thing ever.
