Probably Mariah Carey.

George Best and Denis Law are probably the most famous people I've had conversations with.

I think I saw Paul Brady (singer) on the street less than an hour ago.

Was walking out of the toilet in Heathrow when Jimmy White walked in past me. Stood about outside until he came out and got his autograph.

Piece of advice. If you're going to stand outside mens toilets in an airport, be prepared for some funny looks, especially from security guards.
