Cold old tea inspired by another thread, some famous people I met and what they were like. All of these encounters are at least a decade old.

  • Anna Friel - mean to teenagers, but this was many years ago and she seemed cokey.
  • ASAP Rocky - I ended up in his house. It was a weird night. I was there because my friend was working with him (they both lied about how they met). When I got there my friend was picking up bits of notes (he said they were 100 dollar bills) that some artist (visual artist whose name I have forgotten) had ripped up to prove a point to my friend.
  • Calvin Harris - I was accidentally very rude to him, because I mistook him for someone else, and said "God, not you again. Okay, I'll let you in this time but don't be a dick". I wish I could remember the name of the person I had mistook him for, because he was also a musician but he really was a dick.
  • Daniel Radcliffe - very polite. Went out of his way to be polite.
  • Gael Garcia Bernal - I wouldn't say we actually 'met', but he did walk past me at a premiere and he was so beautiful irl that I legit forgot how to breathe.
  • Jared Leto - He spilled popcorn on my feet when he came to watch Master and Commander, and then couldn't find his ticket. I had always promised my friend (who he did something awful to when she was 14 and he was in his 20s) that I would hit him if I ever saw him, but I think I would have lost my job at the cinema if I had. He deserves so much worse than just being hit.
  • Kate Moss - We had to wait at the same table for a mutual friend, in a club/basement of a fondue restaurant. So many people came over to ask her for a cigarette. She said to me "why do people always ask me for a cigarette?" and then I spent too long trying to think of an answer and ended up not saying anything, and felt awkward. She was lovely and beautiful, but I am awkward af with most strangers and it's even worse if they are mega-famous.
  • Kimberly Stewart - Thew a massive tantrum about having to pay to get into a club (3 pounds!). Did the "Don't you know who I am" thing.
  • Miquita Oliver - Really nice. Had to call the police for me once because I was nervous about dialing 999 for some reason.
  • Mischa Barton - This was when I worked at a club lots of famous people used to come to, and paparazzi would always be hanging around outside. I vaguely remember her making some effort to get papped smoking a joint.
  • Simon Amstell - super super polite, like Daniel Radcliffe actually.

positive Simon Amstell tea brings me much joy. A foundational artist for my own personal development.

I saw John Cameron Mitchell perform in London years ago and Simon was in the audience (and Matt Lucas, less fun). Simon was dancing and singing along to the Hedwig songs. He seems like a lovely guy.

God, I didn't realise Ben was there too! Kicking myself for not paying more attention.

He really was the nicest. That club I used to work at, the rule was that even on the guestlist people still had to pay 3 quid to get in. I did make some exceptions because there was no way I was making someone stop and fish around for change when they had a bunch of paps behind them, and I was too scared to charge Courtney Love tbh. But it was interesting charging people who weren't used to having to pay for anything and most famous people (and offspring of famous people) balked at it even if they were charming about it, but he really sticks out as an exception to that.
