I have more formally met a handful of Czech celebrities that no one here would likely know. I also met some classical musicians many here likely wouldn't know. For example, Anne-Sophie Mutter. My husband knew Ethan Hawke fairly well. He lived in the same town as a teen and my husband led a youth group that included him. Hubby said that he told him that he shouldn't count on becoming a famous actor, even though Ethan had already starred in a movie and soon after "Dead Poets Society". He's been nominated for four Academy awards and other distinctions since. Boy was Hubby wrong!

I've seen many other celebrities, but not really met them. An extremely big named person took their S.O. to my old psychiatrist's office. That person walked by and looked right at me, probably upset that someone saw them. I can't say who for obvious reasons.

Any predictions you were wrong about?
Not really since I usually don't make any predictions (or try not to) (also my gut feeling re irl stuff is usually quite accurate, Papa bear agrees)

favourite musical instrument and/or favourite or first bike as a kid
