    Well, I've conversed with animators who have worked at big names *cough*BlueSkyStudios*cough*Dreamworks*cough*Disney*cough* on the animation forums I frequent...I already feel priviledged.

    EDIT: Funny...there's no space before the 'y' in 'Disney,' yet one shows up...

    I believe in a society without rules, laws and regulations. A society where there are only ideas - strict ideas that must be followed to by the letter - and any failure to comply is punishable by death. This would be no dictatorship or police state, no one would be living in terror. It would merely be a 'reassessment of one's preferences,' people living in 'not-so-optimistic security.' So, welcome, those who are 'longing to be blindly obedient and loyal, unbeknownst to them.'

    I shook hands and talked briefly with Sir Sean Connery on one of his visits to Australia.

    He did not mention who he was, he was trying to keep it secret I suppose.

    But you could see through the long, shaggy brown hair, starry glasses and flowery blouse he was wearing.

    Very forceful man.

    famous people on worldscale let's think:

    Just seen up close:
    Gorbatsjov, Bush senior and their wives when they visited powerful (and a bit corrupt) businessman near my home.

    Actually talked to (although briefly):
    A lot of the well known (ex)cyclist like Tom Boonen, paolo Betinni, Robby McEwen, Eddy Merkx, Johan Museeuw, ...

    Shook hands with and made Phil the Greek laugh.

    Probably some others, but I can't remember them - so they can't have been that famous...

    Went to school with someone who acted in Master & Commander...

    I've a met a whole lot of Punk bands from the 90's.
    I hung out with them backstage and even provided some of them with a place to sleep.
    The most popular person was probably Billy Joe of Green Day.
    A nice guy on the "Kerplunk" tour but later encounters proved that the fame didn't become him well.
    I've occasionally come across German actors and TV personalities but I usually don't approach them.

    I suppose on a world scale, the only well-known person I've met & conversed with would be Desmond Tutu, he was tiny, only reaches my chin, but his presence is huge, a real charisma about him.

    EDIT:

    Also...if pornstars count..

    then I´ve met Anastasia Mayo twice at conventions.
