Which celebrity would reduce you to a mindless, giggling fangirl?

In my case: Joe Flanigan.

Okay. His winning a downhill skiing event and not telling anyone and not using it to fuel a PR machine has got me hooked.

Then the fact that he calls his role on Stargate Atlantis his "job" and "work."

Add to that the fact that he showed up to interview with just a daypack on his shoulder and no PA or official posse... *sighs.* I like this guy.

That questions about himself get a monosyllabic answer while if you ask him "big questions" like, oh, "tell us about the nature of science fiction" and "let's talk about global warning" he'll expound for a while -- and actually have something insightful to say.

Then on top of that, in the behind the scenes commentaries he's a naughty, flirtatious little boy.

*pats him*

*stares at a photo*

*sighs happily*

This is the real reason I won't go to conventions. ;)

I'd like to say I'd be 'cool' when meeting an actor or celebrity, but I ran into Mare Winningham in our local video store. I stopped dead. I had this sense that I knew her from somewhere. I thought it was from highschool, and just as I was about to ask her where I knew her from she looked away in dismissal. I wasn't until I got out the door that I realized who she was. I was completely embarrassed because she probably thought I was star struck. I'm just afraid something similar would happen if I ever met a 'celebrity' at a con or such.

I didn't like JF at first. He definitely grows on you... deeply. Thanks for sharing regarding the skiing. I had no idea.

Hahah, I had a similar experience with a Danish tv personality - met him in my local supermarket, and was all "oh, where do I know him from, again - highschool?", while he was all deer-in-the-headlights, "oh, no, she recognizes me and ANY MINUTE will start talking to me, and I really don't have the time/patience!"
