Closest I came to geeking out was meeting Janelle Monae. I almost fell out when she shook my hand lol. I thought I’d have a freak out moment when I met John Witherspoon but I didn’t. He was the nicest guy. He took pics with everybody even with all them people in his face
I met Little Dragon, the whole band and the lead singer shortly after. I didn't geek out outwardly and actually regretfully I did the exact opposite.
So, we drove to Atlanta to actually see them at the fox theater and stayed at a hotel literally right across the street from the place. We got there at night about 7 or 8 and got on the elevator to our room. All of a sudden this group of people got on the elevator. Some speaking with a noticeable swedish accent. Took me a min to realize it was little dragon. Whispered to my gf and said "omg I think that little dragon". Given we weren't paying attention we got off on the wrong stop and it was the same stop the lead singer got off. My girl was kind of confused and so I had to tell her again who it was.
Well, the lead singer was talking to the receptionist on that floor (they had two receptionists I guess) and we lined up and played it cool because I forgot what floor we were on. Talk to the receptionist, he tells us, and then we get back on elevator. Lead singer actually gets on with us and we didn't say anything to her because we didn't wanted to bother her. We get to our floor and say goodnight and she says it back. In retrospect, I kind of think she heard us whispering and rushed to catch our elevator expecting us to ask for an autograph or something. We were both tipsy from dinner and also I was thinking they just got in town and don't want to be bothered and are tired so I just acted like I didn't know who she was lol.
Wish I said I was going to the show the next day or wished her and them luck and tell them I was a big fan. But I thought I was being courteous in leaving them alone. Maybe I could have gotten a picture or something and it would have been worth it because they are one of my favorite groups that I've been listening to since the beginning.

Way back when Jessica Alba was in her prime I met her through work in a conference room after she had done some promo for Sin City in a place where I worked.
I was responsible for managing the gear in the room, disassembling it, collecting it, and locking it away safely. She and an older female producer/exec type for the movie had stayed behind and gone over some paperwork. So I had already begun my routine and was in the back of the room doing some stuff while they were talking but I didn't realize from where I was who the persons were that had stayed behind.
As they were wrapping up, I came over to the area where they were and got some gear from off the table. As I was doing that the female producer said she was leaving and told her that she could take her time going through the papers and signing them but that she had to run.
As the exec gets up, sort of as a courtesy or something I guess, she tells me 'Hey, have we introduced ourselves, I'm bladibla and this is Jessica. As she says the name I first look over at her face and realize it's Jessica Alba. I f*ckin' have a starstruck spasm like a b*tch and knock over an open bottle of water from the table with my gear and the sh*t lands right in Jessica's lap splashing the bottom of some type of silk blouse she was wearing and on the top part of her jeans.
I'm superembarrassed of course wishing I could vanish up in smoke. I'm thinking she must think I'm either some type of creep who did it on purpose or a total loser who can't control basic movements around a celeb. So the exec laughs as she runs off and says she gotta go but it's no biggie because there are extra clothes in the front in this small sideroom in the corner.
So she leaves and it's just Jessica and me and I'm thinking she's gonna be creeped out and feel awkward as hell so I feel bad. But instead, the moment the exec closes the door she pulls up the blouse over her head and takes it right off.
I'm left completely baffled at her reaction as I'm now inches away from a prime Jessica Alba wearing only a bra and some light blue jeans with wet spots.
My next move is even more embarrassing because instinctively I of course peek right at her as she finishes taking it off and she totally catches me exactly in the act. Then she gives me this silent smirk like she doesn't mind and I just know she thinks I'm a complete rookie who doesn't know how to act around a beautiful woman let alone a movie star smack in her prime at the top of her fame.
But then I catch myself and I realize she's just gassing herself up. She was obviously completely sure she could make me try and act out of my lane by making a move that she could then shoot down.
She makes it even more blatant by gesturing towards me as she heads for that little room to get the extra blouse. As she's walking over there she looks back and gives me one of these:
So now I'm absolutely sure she's just trying to mess with me.
Clearly she just wants to see my response, playing with my mind to make herself feel amazing and all that. Mind you, this is in a period where she had just publicly broken up with the guy she had been dating at the time and it was all up on tv, it was big news that she was now single and all. So I knew she was obviously bullsh*tting 'cause at that point she could get any guy in the world and she was trying to make it seem that I could have her.
She walks in the room and sticks her head out with her hair all hanging loose and shaking and this mischievous look on her face.
Such an obvious tease, attention seeking ass BS of course. So I remember all my OGs' wisdom lessons as it was taught to me and as she's giving me that look I stand up, look her straight in the eye and head for the exit.
Leaving her behind with this fake ass bewildered look on her face as if she was disappointed.
I was so proud in that moment for not having fallen for those teasing ass tactics. She was clearly just gonna play dumb if I had followed her and then made it clear that she was a Hollywood superstar and I was a nobody bum.
Sometimes I do think back though and think how lucky those Hollywood actors are that they get the chance to hit actresses like that in their prime. Some guys get all the luck I guess. Swear to god, if I ever made it as an A-list actor going after one of those would be on my bucket list, just to see what it'd be like. But I guess us common folk will never know what it's like to get those kinds of opportunities.
Good thread OP, brought back some memories

I didn't "geek out". More like.... froze up? Brain couldn't process what he was doing there.
only rapper I ever met was Mannie Fresh, and it was in passing.
I used to live on County Line Road in Ridgeland, MS, and you can't buy beer there past a certain time... but you could walk right across County Line and legally be in Jackson MS and buy beer all night long. There was a gas station right across from my apartment complex. Anyway,
It's like 2am on a Tuesday, right. The whole city is dead. I'm walking across the street and you can't hear shyt but crickets and traffic from highway 55. But I look at the gas station and see this BADASS muscle car.
I'm walking up and staring at the car when out the gas station walks Mannie Fresh, talking on a cell phone.
I went into shock like a dumb struck groupie. It wasn't the fact that it was Mannie Fresh, it was the thought that... it's Tuesday night in the semibusy section of the middle of nowhere, Mississippi. Imagine Michael Jordan hanging out on the outskirts of Des Moines Iowa or some shyt.
My brain wouldn't process it. When he walked by me, I wanted to speak... but when I opened my mouth it was like
Me:What the hell are you doing here!?
Manny:bytch, I'm Worldwide!!!!
Then he hopped in the car and literally peeled off right in front of me, threw all kinds of rocks and dirt up on a nikka. I was still standing there like
bourgeoisie tall freak
Superstar
i was way too nervous to meet kendrick lamar. i had the super backstage pass and it was just me, security, and like 4 other people back there. i was too shook to approach

When I first moved to LA I met one of the dudes from The Pack.
This is way after Vans and I'm like "Yo ain't you Young L from the Pack?"
He like "yea"
Some girls laughed at me and that's how I learned how to be around famous people. Lol.
Met Tyler the Creator once but by then I was just on some "yo what's up, like your music" and kept it moving.
