Mine would be Chuck Berry, who was well past the peak of his fame when I met him around 2000, but in the long run is more renowned than most recent stars of any kind.
I don’t think I’m a great judge of fame rankings so this could be wrong.
But my two answers are musicians: Courtney Love (@TheStalwart was there) and Lionel Ritchie.
Who’s the most famous person you’ve ever spoken to?
Not “seen from far away” — actually talked to, even for a minute.
A quick hello, a handshake, a normal conversation… and you still remember it.
Who was it?
