Have you ever met Natalie? If so, what is she like? Did you get to talk to her?

It's alright if you haven't met her, yet. What would you do if you could spend a day with our Natalie? What questions would be dying to ask her? Would you even talk to her? Would you be too in shock to speak to her?

So, c'mon, and share us your stories!

Shoot, I wish I've met her, lol.

Toscane

No, unfortunately, I've never met her!

Actually, I think I would be speechless if I met her. I would look very dumb so!

(But, I have met Ewan some years ago, he was not very known at this time. Actually, I saw him, he seems so sweet. It was in Deauville (France) during the american film festival. I know, it's off-topic, but if yo want and as they really appreciated each other with Natalie, I can tell you. (well, it will be short! ) )

Tina

Toscane - Sure. Go ahead and tell us. Or you could go to the Ewan/Natalie thread...

And I know what you mean, I would be too speechless to say anything!

goodbreakingbad

Omg, you meant Ewan, how awesome, do tell!

Yeah, I would faint, lol.

Ive never met Natalie. The closest Ive come is not close at all: its my best friends brother being at Cannes and seeing her whilst he was in the crowd, and did he even attempt to take pics? No, because he's dumb .

I think if I met her properly I would pretty much be speechless but if I somehow managed to act relatively normal the ideal situation would be meeting her in London and I could show her some of my favourite places. Question wise theres so many. Why does she choose the roles she does? What was it like on the set of Star Wars, Closer and Garden State. Oh and I'd attempt to persuade her that she and Hayden are perfect for each other

I would also use up about 2 rolls of film photographing the event

Tina

Louise - Aww! Nice day with Natalie. I'm sure she would just love you!

My day with Natalie? We would probaly hang out or something. The things I would ask her - so many! Why have you chose acting to be your career job? What is it like to work with Zach? Where do you buy most of your clothes?

Hehe! I just love her style.

So, anyone else have an idea of what they would ask Natalie if they saw her?

Toscane

hey guys!

So, I am gonna tell you my "meeting" with Ewan but believe me it's very short!
So, it was in september 1999, during the american film festival in Deauville (very beautiful town in west france). Well, I was here for a day with my parents but we didn't remember it was the time of the festival so when we saw so much people in the town , we were like whaou, what happenned??!!?. Then, I remembered it was the festival, so we didn't have to think about it twice, forget the beach and the casino, we're gonna meet or at least see stars!! We try the palace where all the celebrities walk down the alley but impossible to see anything! so, , we're gonna go in front of one of the two main hotels as all the stars were not yet in the palace. I think we went near the "hotel Normandie" in which people told us Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith were. Actually, we were not the only ones who had this idea but there was a great atmosphere. While we were waiting, I remembered that Ewan was supposed to be part of the festival jury this year (he was not very known in France yet, but I had seen him in some movies and I was already hooked! ) but I assumed he was already in the palace. So, we were waiting, the crowd got bigger and bigger, it was still daylight, and suddenly, I saw a man trying to make his way in the crowd to get into the hotel, actually, he was sneaking into the hotel, all smiling! (I was telling to myself: I know this guy!! I've seen him somewhere but where???)) and the guards let him enter, I remember hearing him telling something like he had forgotten his jacket. He took me some seconds and , I told my parents it is EWAN MC GREGOR, a woman turned around and say who?, I repeated, nobody seemed to know him. So, I enumerated the movies to my parents. I was all excited!!
So, what I can tell is that he seems so sweet, he knew that everybody was waiting for Antonio Banderas as he was here for the screening of "Zorro". He was so humble and genuine with his big smile! While he was trying to make his way, he smiled to everyone. Actually, I think nobody recognized him. I think he didn't expect this crowd in front of his hotel otherwise he would have get into in another way. But, really, he's gorgeous! for, the minute I saw him, I can tell you that I understand his partners love him.
It was very short, that's why I didn't faint otherwise if I was prepared I will have fainted and it would have been a waste of time!
I told you, my story is very long but, my "meeting " with Ewan was very short!!
Otherwise, I managed to see Antonio Banderas and he is also very nice and really small but really handsome!!

If I met her, I think that if I managed to not faint, I will take a lot of pictures of her, but really alot!! If I try to enonciate some words, well, I would ask him how it was to play with Jean Reno, Ewan and Liam Nesson. But, I think I will tell her alot of compliments, above all, her sincerity and and her genuine love for her native country as I think it's really beautiful from her to remain so faithful to her country.

Sorry guys, for the long post!!

Oh wow, no, no don't be sorry at all for you post, thank you so much for telling us, that sounds so great! Wow, so Ewan seems so sweet, and you met Antonio...wish I was more of a fan so I could be all over that, lol. I'm still jealous in a good way though, lol.

Toscane

aww, Anji, you're so sweet!
Actually, You have to jump onto opportunities. I really wanted to meet Antonio Banderas as I love Pedro Almodovar's movies and I wasn't disappointed because he's incredibely nice.He was very hurried but he took time to sign some autographs (actually, I didn't ask him one, I'm not really into it) But my favourite part of this day was seeing Ewan of course!

But, it's weird because sometimes, I don't really want to meet people I admire because I don't want to kill the mystery. Do you think the same also about some people or is it just me?

Wow- what a question! I hope to someday meet Natalie, and I just hope I would be able to actually speak in her presence.

I met two actors from the show "One Tree Hill" and when I met them I cuold hardly get any words out, it was horrible! I was hoping to be all "calm, cool, and collected" but alas I was not. It was just so surreal to see them face to face, and even more so if I had a chance to meet Natalie.

If I was able to spend some time with her what questions would I ask? Probably everything and anything I could, while remaining good natured. I would love to ask her about what life was like before acting hit her, what she loved most about psychology, what her college experience was like, what a typical day in her world would include, who are her role models, her thoughts on the world, some of her favorite actors that she has worked with, what are the movies and books she loves to see/read?

Sorry to go a bit over-board I hope to one day be lucky enough to meet her, that would be amazing.

goodbreakingbad

Aww, thank you, so are you!

Omg, I totally agree about not wanting to ruin how you've always invisioned the person with actually meeting them, I am the same way. The closet I've come to a celebrity siting was in Wilmington, North Carolina where Dawson's Creek was filmed, and One Tree Hill is currently being filmed. I saw James Van Der Beek and I am a huge fan, but I was too afraid to go up to him, but man, sometimes I regret it, but others I think just seeing himg was so worth it. I kinda relate what happened with Jena Elfman's character's story in Can't Hardly Wait...if you've seen that, where she's talking about her Scott Baio infatuation and how she saw him at her local mall, but didn't say anything, and regretted it years later. It's really a moment of clarity, do you say something or do you just let them walk on by, but always wonder about it, you know?

^^^Oh, which two OTH actors did you see?!

Tina

Toscane & amore85 - Thank you for sharing your stories! They are amazing! I wish I would meet someone famous like that! Maybe someday I will...

goodbreakingbad

I honestly don't know what I would do if I ever met Nat, lol.

amore85

Couldn't are more with your posts Anji and Toscane!

Anji- I met Bryan Greenberg, and James Lafferty... it was so unbelievable amazing but also incredibly nerve-racking. I am the same age as James and was *hoping* that I would be able to actually say something.... I got so star struck!
