In theory, meeting a celebrity might seem like the most exciting thing in the world, but in reality, you’re more likely to spot them in the dullest of situations.

I talked to Martin Freeman for about 15 minutes in a queue in the dry cleaners because i recognised him and thought he played hockey with my brother. He chatted the whole time and never once let on who he was. https://t.co/ViLzKSJo5a
