Most famous person you've seen in the flesh?

In 2013, I saw some of the main cast of Star Trek Into Darkness (2013), including Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Zoe Saldana, and its director, J.J Abrams, when they were promoting the film in London.

I saw the back of Kevin Costner's head once!

So around 1990 I worked in this building that had a fancy restaurant in a courtyard, and an expensive firm of architects above, who I believe Costner was there to see. He was having lunch in a courtyard when someone rushed into the cube farm where I worked and gushed "OMG OMG Kevin Costner is EATING LUNCH IN THE COURTYARD!!!" So everyone bolted up from their desks and rushed to the window and gawked, and yeah, I saw the back of his head.

And that's how desperate for entertainment office workers are.

This is why I don't own a TV I mean you can't get these people out of your head, who gives a shit

I saw Harold Sakata who played the iconic villain Oddjob in Goldfinger, at the HIC Arena on Oahu in the mid 60s. He was actually an Olympic and professional wrestler and I even had a ringside seat. It was a really big deal for me because I was a teenager and the popularity of the Bond films was in full swing then.

Also, a number of rock celebrities because I used to work at setting up concerts for them.

I would finally have to add Ronald Reagan as the most famous because he was our sitting President at the time.
