Sort of. My aunt used to have a friend who was friends with John Cena like forever ago. So I got to meet him twice before he was like wicked popular in the WWE scene. (2004-ish) He's a cool guy.

But I don't like him for making WWE as kid-focused as it is today. Ugh. :mad::mad::mad:

Edit: I forgot about this. Sully from Godsmack comes down to the Texas Roadhouse (its a restaurant, idk if its a local or nation-wide thing or not) regularly. I swear, 4/5 times I'm there, he is. Must be his favorite place or something. One day I walk up to him like it was my first time seeing him there all like "Hey, aren't you Sully?!" He's like "Yeah, you a fan" or something like that. So we just kinda talk for a few minutes. We aren't really "friends" but whenever we're there together we just talk then and go our separate ways. :p

Russel Peters used to be considered "family" by my friend.

...Well...I guess he was a close family friend. Apparently he came to family gatherings and stuff, birthdays, etc. But once he got famous he stopped, and now they kinda hate him. =P


Also, my girlfriend is related to the drummer of Billy Talent somehow. I think they're second cousins or something, although he doesn't know of her existence...well, he might, but they've never had any sort of personal contact. Her parents also founded 241 Pizza, but I don't think that makes them Celebrities LOL.


I'll post more later if I can remember others.

Edit: I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but probably because he's not a celebrity. I'm friends with Dave from the radio station Z 103.5 He does the morning show. Also, my sister and her circle of friends used to hang out with the drummer from Our Lady Peace.

My bands going to be famous some day too, so grab on now while you have the chance guys! LOL!

my stepdad is a master of kum sung taekwondo and also retired airforce and trained with chuck norris a lot. he has more than a few signed pictures of the two of them together, both in suit and ties and then also in training clothing. Grand Master Kum Sung, my stepdad's instructor and close friend, also did a lot of work as Splinter in the live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies, working stunts and helping the fight stuff.

Ummm...distantly...
some friends go to the school Billy Talent members went to...

My old math teacher was friends with Kris Draper and baby-sat his kids.

That's all I can think of for now.

I've talked to Dan Brown multiple times, he graduated from my high school and would come back every year to talk to the students.

Mark Zuckenberg also went to my high school and he came and spoke at the school once. Wasn't a very good speaker though...

I also had a friend back in like middle school who said that his grandma was best buddies with will smiths mom, and that he got to go to the Smith's family's bday parties. I didn't believe him at first until he showed me a couple of pics of him with Will Smith.

I have a friend who claims that he's related to the guy who invented chocolate chip cookies.

Aside from that, I think I'm a descendant of some long-dead famous British criminal.

the LDS church has a flippen ton of things on genealogy so you might be able to find something through them.

a local journalist,big budda, (he has huge hands) lives in my neighborhood along with Sean White, the gold medalist and x games guy. he could have moved though.

My sisters boyfriend is related to the guy that shot Abe Lincoln.
my 4th grade math teacher is related to Abe Lincoln.
*Dials phone*
Hollywood? I have an idea for a new movie. It's called Relatives Re-enact History.
When a boyfriend's 4th grade math teacher makes him redo 4th grade, boyfriend seeks revenge! Fast forward 20 years later, when 4th grade math teacher becomes president of the United States, boyfriend plans to assassinate him/her. BUT WAIT! At the end, there's a twist! We find out that the boyfriend is related to John Wilkes Booth, and that the 4th grade math teacher is related to Abe Lincoln! There you go. Oh yeah, and make it a Romantic Comedy.
*Hangs up*

I never asked anyone this question, so I don't know anyone famous, nor am I related to any celebrities. My great-grandparents were in the bottom social class, IIRC. The closest I've ever come to such a thing was my dad's friend claiming to be friends with a man affiliated with a member of Quiet Riot.

I have more potential for fortune than fame.

I'm good friends with a lot of influential players in the paintball community, mainly Oliver Lang and Brian Cole.

And I was actually right behind John Cena at a Wal-Mart about a month ago. He bought about 15 Hot Wheels cars and some milk.

Im so pathetic... I only know one famous person (who I really hate) for an autograph and I know for a fact that all my friends arent related to a famous person one way or another. And that person I mentioned? Daddy Yankee all I got his autograph for was for Ebay. Let say I made a ****load of money in that site

Does a letter from bush count as knowing someone famous? All I got it for was for good grades

Where I used to live in Mexico City, the house next to us for some reason would always be inhabited by famous soccer players. One is now the Director for the Mexican National team, another one we know is in the Italian national team.
Most of the famous people ive met have been soccer players:ohwell:

I have had the honour of having my father meet Prince Charles of England.
We have also seen Her Majesty the Queen driving by us.

I have also seen the Sultan of Oman in person. What an incredible experience I have had with royalty...
But no one other than that.

I've met Austin Carty from Survivor: Panama, and my parents met James Doohan once at a winery. I wish I could say more.
