For me it was Jeff Kinney. I was meeting a different author I love, but there wasn't enough room downstairs and we had to go up. Turns out that's exactly where Jeff Kinney works! He's the author who got me into reading so I thought that was so cool

I've never actually met a real famous person but the closest was that I once went to school with a girl who later briefly did photo shoots for a vaguely popular magazine. I don't remember her full name but her first name was something like "Kristina" and I'm pretty sure her last name sounded Russian. She randomly friended me on Facebook several years ago but when I messaged to her, it seemed like I was talking to her manager and not her directly, it was very weird.
