[debm55]

[SWBTATTReg]

1. Well, I'm kind of over celebrities and such. Would it be too freaky if I said none of them?

Thanks.

[debm55]

7. I edited it to incude famous people. TY

[50 Shades Of Blue]

2. If politicians fall in that category, then Joe Biden. If not, then Ringo Starr.

[debm55]

6. I edited to include famous people. TY

[50 Shades Of Blue]

12. Thanks! Then Joe wins! LOL!

[debm55]

26. Thank you , I would like Joe , too.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

58. I got to meet President Biden twice in 2019 at fundraisers

President Biden signed some floor speech signs from his speech at the 2016 National Convention and took my iphone from me and snap some amazing selfies better than I could manage. President Biden was talking to some other guests at the same time as he was taking the selfies. At the other fundraiser, I had maxed out in donations and got to speak to him about stuttering.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

60. Very cool!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

3. Russell Crowe

I have admired him as an Actor, Singer/Songwriter, and Humanitarian since 1997.

I had the pleasure of seeing him twice in concert at Chicago's House of Blues with his then band Thirty Odd Foot of Grunt or TOFOG. In 2001 after wrapping up with A BEAUTIFUL MIND, and in 2003 after MASTER & COMMANDER:The Far Side of The World.

In 2001, he brought out a gym bag onto the stage and took out the Oscar he won for Best Actor for GLADIATOR. He held it up and we responded in unison "Strength and Honor". He thanked us for making the film the hit that it was. Not to mention, his show was a resounding hit!

[debm55]

4. Thank you

[debm55]

27. Ty, ProudMNDemocrat

[FalloutShelter]

5. Richard Gere

I’m a Buddhist and I would love to talk to him about his long abiding friendship with the Dali Lama.

[debm55]

8. TY

[PJMcK]

9. I've met plenty.

Famous people are either normal or they’re weird.

I’d like to to meet you, Deb.

[debm55]

16. Thank you PJMcK

[Ocelot II]

10. I've met a few, wasn't especially impressed. They're just people.

[debm55]

17. TY Ocelot II

[stopdiggin]

11. Obama, hands down

(and have to add that my general reaction to 'celebrity' - is to cross the street - just not my thing at all)

[debm55]

28. Ty I agree with you, stopdiggin.

[Upthevibe]

13. debm55 .....

I think Michelle Obama.......There are many but she comes to mind first.

[debm55]

15. Ty i agree.

[hlthe2b]

14. Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep, Jody Foster, Jane Fonda (yes)

I want to spend time with someone whose talent and intelligence surpass celebrity and whose life experiences and humanity would surely have lessons for others... And, if you notice, all good Liberal/Progressive Democrats.

Plenty too from the music world, but I'll start with John Legend...

[debm55]

29. Ty hlthe2b. You have a lot of choices.

[CTyankee]

56. Glad to see Meryl Streep's name! She's my #1 choice!

But definitely the Obamas and (swoon) George Clooney!

[Raven123]

18. Pope Francis

I do not agree with him 100%, but I admire him. Believes in respectful dialogue, promotes peace, works tirelessly at trying to drag the Catholic Church out of the dark ages.

[debm55]

30. Raven 123---thank you and I agree.

[Mad_Dem_X]

19. Jeff Lynne (of ELO fame)

His music got me through some really tough times growing up - I would love the opportunity to just tell him in person.

I would also like to meet Stephen King, though I have no idea what I would say to him!

[debm55]

31. Thank you Mad_Dem_X

[gibraltar72]

20. Hands down Jimmy Carter.

[debm55]

32. Thank you gibraltar72, I totally agree.

[Mr.Bill]

21. Keith Richards

After reading "Life", his autobiography, he's got more stories to tell than probably anyone on the planet. Fascinating person indeed.

Second choice is Jann Wenner, founder of Rolling Stone magazine, for the same reason.

[debm55]

33. TY Mr.Bill.

[Doodley]

22. Donald Trump, so I could call him an asshole to his face.

[debm55]

25. Thank you Doodley. I would like to do that too.

[Doodley]

34. You sure you aren't a Brit?

[debm55]

35. Oh no. From PA, with roots from once Russian territory.--Georgia(the country) and the Ukraine,

[Cartoonist]

23. Robert Crumb

All my other favorite artists are dead.
I met my favorite writer and was disappointed.

[debm55]

24. Thank you Cartoonist.

[bif]

36. Ringo

[debm55]

38. TY bif.

[Emile]

37. I would pick Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Garner

[debm55]

39. Thank you Emile.

[k55f5r]

40. I met Will Smith at a movie opening - Bulletproof Monk

He was walking by and i did the inexcusable - I greeted him and asked for an autograph.
He was genuinely the nicest person to talk to - he stayed and talked for a couple of minutes to my daughter and I.
(Later at the after show party I stood next to Dustin Hoffman, and he really is short. I mean walk under my outstretched arm short. Whereas The Rock is BIGGER THAN LIFE when you are standing next to him.)

[debm55]

51. Thank you k55f5r

[debm55]

67. TY k55f5r

[Deep State Witch]

41. Harrison Ford

I've loved him ever since I first saw "Star Wars" - even though he's as old as my aunt. Also, Barack Obama.

[Bayard]

78. Two thumbs up for two favorites

[rurallib]

42. Alive- Neil DeGrasse Tyson - D or A - Carl Sagan

[SKKY]

43. Alive, I think Pep Guardiola would be very interesting....

...Dead or Alive, George Carlin. For sure.

[AllaN01Bear]

44. i met lorne greene once . nice nice man. also met the man who played toto.

[JoseBalow]

45. I'd love to meet Mel Brooks

[lpbk2713]

46. Ken Burns

We would talk at length about many of his PBS specials.

[Give Peace A Chance]

47. Ray Davies

Formerly of the Kinks. Now with the Jay Hawks.
Love that man!

I met Nancy Pelosi a long time ago. She was really nice & relatable.

In my Hippie days, Willie Nelson picked me up hitch-hiking in Austin.
He wasn't that famous back then but he was the real deal!

[debm55]

50. ty Give Peace A Chance. great mixture of musicians and politicians

[Sneederbunk]

52. Weird Al Yankovic.

[spooky3]

[LoisB]

54. Dead: James Baldwin, Bayard Rustin, Bob Marley, Prince

[debm55]

64. TY LoisB

[spooky3]

55. Brad Pitt. I'd ask him to do his Dr. Fauci impression. Nt

[debm55]

65. HAHAHAHAHHHAHAHHAHAH Ty spooky3

[spooky3]

77. And we'd invite Matt Damon to do his Brett Kavanaugh.

I laugh no matter how many times I see that skit.

[JoseBalow]

80. Matt Damon.

[spooky3]

81. Here's SNL

?feature=shared

[Permanut]

57. Rurallib and I are ready to sign up for lunch with Neil deGrasse Tyson

Oh, and Judi Lynne should be there too.

[debm55]

66. I would love to hear him speak.

[Polly Hennessey]

59. Oh, Deb, nothing high-minded from me. Brad Pitt and

Ryan Gosling just because they are cute and sexy. 😇

[malthaussen]

61. Living or dead?

I'd love to have a few beers with the guys I call the Three Wise Guys of History: Socrates, Jesus, and David Hume. Most of the "celebrities" I hold in high regard are dead by now, this is a consequence of aging.

-- Mal

[ProfessorGAC]

62. I've Met/Inown Several

Some I liked a lot. The first name that came to mind of someone I'd like to meet but haven't, I Joe Satriani.
I won't run the last of those I did meet.

[BlueKota]

68. Well

President Biden, Former Presidents Clinton and Obama, and Colin O'Donoghue, and almost forgot Micky Dolenz.

[Jrose]

70. Paul McCartney...(for the music and writing) and

...Eddy Murphy (for the laughter)
...Barbra Streisand (for her singing, acting, humor and
political outspokenness)

[Mad_Dem_X]

73. I'd probably faint if I ever met Sir Paul!

[Jrose]

74. I would too...but hopefully, he'd catch me in his arms and

sing, Beware My Love (from the Wings album)

[Wicked Blue]

71. Ursula Leguin, if she was still alive nt

[Niagara]

72. Zahn McClarnon

I have the biggest crush on Zahn. His smile makes me go weak in the knees. This video is about 13 years old and Zahn is a little older and grayer but still looking delicious. In all honesty, I'd probably get tongue tied if I met him.

[Laffy Kat]

75. The thing is, I'm so introverted I would be intimidated to meet any celebrity I admire.

I wouldn't know what to say. I rather worship from afar.

[badhair77]

76. Joe, Jill and Hillary, of course.

Meeting Carol Burnett would be a treat. I’ve loved her work since I was a child.

[Elessar Zappa]

79. Alive: Robert DeNiro and Joe Biden.

Dead: Frank Zappa and Kurt Cobain.

[mvd]

82. If politicians count, President Biden

Would also love seeing Bernie Sanders or AOC.

Entertainers, Taylor Swift would be fun to meet.

[wnylib]

83. Michelle Obama, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Trevor Noah

I think I'd be in such awe that I'd freeze up, but they are interesting and genuine, so I'd just listen to anything they had to say.

I did meet Hillary Clinton once when she campaigned for Senator in NY. Had a very brief chat. She was warm and personable. Attentive listener.
