I think it is a common question but I really want to know how other people act in this situation.
If i meet my idols unexpectedly, I will become crazy and then unconscious :))))
I think there's not a single moviestar or famous mucisian that I would recognize on the street... And while I am not a proponent of idolozing people too much, there are some people that I admire. It'd be disturbing to meet them in real though, since they've all been dead for quite a while.
I've met a few musicians that I like at concerts and I was always able to remain calm. If I were to randomly see someone famous on the street, I would probably have to spend several minutes trying to figure out if that was really them or not. I don't think I would get nervous and start crying, though. Celebrities are still human beings like you and me :)
"Don't make an idol..." - because all of them are human beings with their own shortcomings. They can be talented actors or musicians but absolutely dumb in all other aspects of life. Or they could be immoral so if you know them more closely maybe you'd prefer not to know them at all. Even if he is absolutely perfect in everything be sure he has tons of skeletons in the closet, else he is the god so your reaction is natural and doesn't need to be worried about.
Cool ^^
well, I always had the idea that when I know my favorite rock band when I was 15 years old, it would be playing songs with them, not see them in my place between other people.
