Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

I dream of a world where actors and media non entities are not the gods to be worshipped.
 
My daughters saw the same thing happen with Kirtsen Dunst. She was on their flight to LAX but disappeared with a staff member en-route to the J Lounge. She didn't go into the F Lounge.

Oooh a secret VIP enclave! Next time I go I'll "turn left" and look for some hidden doors. :lol:
This is the best photo I can find:

Had some dropkick behind me on the way to ADL that thought my armrest was his footrest. I had a hankering to take some photos out the window so my elbow might have ever so slightly moved his foot out of the way.

It felt like someone was putting the tray table up & down or someone was grabbing the seat back to get out however tray tables are in the armrests.

SO turns around & informs me that the guy had his knees against the back of my seat.

He had an English accent but was with an Aussie minder who at the end of the flight thanked him for being "low maintenance." Sheesh is he kidding me - try sitting in the seat in front of him! I wouldn't want to see him when he was high maintenance!

Someone in the baggage claim area was holding a sign 'Big Day Out' so possibly some annoying muso.

Liam Gallagher by chance, here is his reaction when you were taking the photo (the one on the left)! :lol:

Yesterday, February 1st, Richard Wilkins on QF434 MEL-SYD.

Biggest tosser I have ever met. I was moored next to him at Hamilton Island when he used to host MTV, probably 20 odd years ago. Anyway, one night I was in the pizza restaurant that overlooked the marina which was the cheapest restaurant on the island. There were a number of tables outside on the terrace which filled up first as they had a nice view - from memory you couldn't book, it was first in, best dressed. Richard Wilkins turns up with his entourage and demanded a table on the terrace, which was full. He starts the DYKWIA routine with the waitress who was probably around 17 or 18 and she tells him she will check with the manager, who was doing something near our table. The waitress comes over and says to the Manager "There's some wanker over there who is demanding a table outside. Says his name is Richard Wilkins." The manger says "Who? Never heard of him. Tell him he can have a table inside or wait for a outside table for an hour or two." Waitress says "I've never heard of him either". The look on RW's face when he got put in his place by the waitress was priceless.

Im sure RW has had that sort of look on his face more than a few times........he was, and still is I believe, heavily prone to using the DYKWIA routine.....
 
Tim Wilson, formerly of the IPA, now the human rights commissioner, in the SYD QF J Lounge today.
 
Before Christmas I had an interesting chat with a very long term friend (44 years) in the MEL J lounge. Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston former Chief of Defence and now Chair of the ANZAC Centenary Advisory Board.

He was surprised how happy I am in retirement and I was surprised how happy he is at still working mega hard.

A lot of people including myself had actually tipped him to be the next GG but obviously that did not eventuate.

It's not too hard; just don't worship them. I wouldn't recognise Charlize Theron if I tripped over her, Same goes for pretty much any sports player or team.

What about celeb chefs?

Their place is barefoot and in the kitchen. "Celeb" my cough :)

No doubt he entered via the secret door on the far, far right...
