Ever ask a celeb to share a selfie with you?

Jimmy was probably a bit upset that he looked so scruffy for his one chance of having a picture taken with Greek Stein.

Give Cos a moustache and hat and he looks like Mario

Cos had said to Jimmy 3 seconds before the photo was taken..

"Jimmy, if you wrk REALLY hard after giving up your playing career, do all your FA badges, learn from some of the best managers in Europe and suck up to all the right people. Then maybe, just maybe, you'll be manager of Burton Albion one day

"No promises though. You have to work hard to fulfill your dream son"

I was very disappointed with this encouter.

I don't recall ever asking a celebrity for a selfie before other than trolling some poker players.

However, I had a season ticket at Chelsea when Jimmy played for us. I cheered for that mofo and he was definitely treated very well by the Chelsea fans.

It was the afternoon and it was a Vegas hallway of some casino. I approached him very politely and excitedly explaining that I was a huge Chelsea fan and even though he agreed to the photo it was with this sulky demeanour and I wish I had just walked off.

A lot of the fault there lies with me. What if he'd just done his bollocks in the casino? What if he wasn't feeling well? Why do I still feel to this day that he owed me, as a Chelsea fan a better photo than that. One where he said 'sure buddy' and then smiled.

I would also hate to be famous.

Very shortly after the announcement of their engagement I saw Victoria Coren Mitchell at DTD, with David Mitchell alongside her. I walked past them at the start of a break, got about ten paces away and thought "sod it", so I walked back and congratulated them on their engagement. They were, as you would expect, perfectly lovely about it and having wished them luck I walked away.

Again, I got ten paces away and thought "sod it" again.

I returned sheepishly and these are the only two photos with celebs I have ever featured in.

They were, and remain, two of my favourite celebrities. Funny, erudite and charming.

Great photos David.

Funny you should bring up Victoria and David, because the nearest I have come to understanding the life of a celebrity was spending an afternoon/evening with them.

I had gone up to Edinburgh for a UKIPT and unfortunately busted out on day 1. Vicky was playing too and she suffered the same fate.

At the time the Edinburgh UKIPT was on in August at the same time as the Festival.

Victoria bought a bunch of tickets to various shows and asked if I wanted to tag along.

We went to 4 shows over 5 hours, but the festival being the festival you have A LOT of speed walking between venues to get to a show in time.

I felt genuine pity for David Mitchell. He probably wasn't quite as famous as he is now, but I suppose that was countered by the fact an Edinburgh Festival crowd would just about 100% know him.

He literally didn't have a minute spare pass without someone asking for a photo, an autograph or a handshake.

At the bar having a pint, walking between venues, queing up to get into a show, at dinner, etc etc and etc

It never stopped. I estimate at least 200 people wanted a few seconds of his time.

And he obliged every single time, except once.

We had precisely 2 minutes to get from one venue to another to catch the start of a show.

David was terribly polite and apologetic to these two women who wanted a photo. But they probably still think to this day "What a stuck up bloke that Davoid Mitchell is, not giving us 15 seconds for a photo".

I wouldn't want to be famous for all the tea in China.

I don't do envy, normally, but I envy you that afternoon.

To answer the OP, No never even considered it.

I can't see anything wrong with saying 'look at me with a famous person' I can get a picture of any celeb I want from the Internet,  but one with me in too?
 I haven't got any of me btw but I was pretty excited about these of my sister and aunt!
