    Who is it? The President??

    I've met my state's basketball team and the Congressman for our state. My Aunt met President Obama and his wife once.
    What about you?

    I can't really say that I've met someone famous before. There are a couple of times when I've talked in a livestream chat and the person livestream called out my comment, which is pretty awesome. My brother met Joe Biden once and took a picture shaking his hand. My brother looks evil or possessed or something in the picture though, which if anything actually makes it even better.

    I have met quiet a few Voice Actors from games or animation, the most famous one that most people would know is Dante Basco, the VA for Zuko from Avatar.

    The closest I've ever come to meeting someone 'famous' is talking to TheJWittz in his Twitch stream-chat. But then, I don't exactly go out of my way (or have any real desire) to meet anyone that a LOT of people know - especially people in the movie/music industries and politicians. I'd rather meet someone like Shigeru Miyamoto than Eminem or Obama (heck, even the head of EA would be preferable, and that's because I can tell him to his face how horrible his company is and how out-of-touch they are with gamers).

    I met a minor actor once while on a school trip, seeing as they were shooting at that zoo.

    Queen Elizabeth the 2nd. She was opening a university building behind my primary school.
    I think all of the school go to go stand outside by the road where she was gonna walk.

    I got to shake her hand and all

    Shook hands with the Irish Author Darren Shan, and got his autograph. Then I got to be about 3 feet away from Bruce Willis when I got front row seats to an adaptation of the book Misery he was doing on Broadway. :)

    Haydunn, a youtuber, once noticed me in a Twitch stream ;w; I was sooo happy because there were so many people in the chat, he was distracted, it was the first one he's done in YEARS, etc etc. But, my brother met Victoria Justice and the voice actor for Korra from Legend of Korra, one of my friends met Shia Lebouf, and another one of my friends met Pewdiepie... so yeah ;w;

    The closet I've been to someone famous was on June 12th, 2015 when I went to a Lindsey Stirling concert. That was the closest I got to meeting her, and it is my dream right now to meet her face to face during a meet and greet.

    Jaqueline Woodson came to my school to talk in sixth grade, so I met her then. I think that's the only famous famous person I've ever met, though (besides going to concerts where they can't see me).

    I went to a book signing for Rick Riordan years ago, back when the Percy Jackson series was still going.
    My parents went to a book signing for Terry Brooks (author of the Shannara series) when I was a baby. They say that both he and his wife thought I was a very cute baby.

    I think that's it. Meeting famous people is one of those things that happens to other people.

    I haven't met anyone especially famous, other than maybe a guy in my town named Tony who has been but is quitting a public office. Aside from that, a guy I had a crush on was dating this girl from California on Myspace named Emily (I can't remember her last name) who was admittedly super cute and an acoustic guitar player who uploaded her songs to her Myspace page. I don't know if she ever got famous but maybe she made it big in her local scene.

    I know my grandma met our ex-prime minister randomly once xD
    For me though: When I was little my favorite soccer team was playing against a local team. I went to the match with my dad. After the match, there were a few players giving autographs and I got one from a player that ended up playing in our national team a few times.
