What To Do When You Meet A Movie Star
August 6th 2009 06:16
A friend of mine was recently walking down Collins Street when she saw Bill Hunter coming towards her. She watched him approach with mild curiosity, having grown up watching him on the big screen. As he came closer she began to wonder what the appropriate reaction was to strolling past Muriel’s dad while on her lunch break. It seemed rude to ignore him. On the other hand, greeting him would be a mite strange given that their acquaintance was hitherto one-sided.
In the end, they passed by each other with several uncomfortable seconds of awkward eye contact. She was still peering at him uncertainly, trying to ascertain the etiquette of the situation. He was eyeing her warily, in response to her uncertain peering.
Bothered by the lack of protocol, she told me the story and asked me to address the issue of what to do. Should she see Hugo Weaving the following week at Federation Square, she would very much like to be prepared.
Unfortunately, seeing Gary Sweet while wearing tracksuit pants on Burke Street was about the extent of my experience, so I did not feel I was in position to advise.
So I am throwing this one to you – have you met someone famous, and if so, how did you react?
