Journalist Michael Segalov asked his Twitter followers for the most surreal encounter they've had with someone famous. These were the best replies ... 1.

My dad was hertaxi driver and on the way to the airport he stopped at our house to show her the view. 2. Met Martin Clunes in a petrol garage on a lunch break from school. Got him to sign my teacher/parent contact book to say I'd done all my homework for the week. He thought it was brilliant. 3. Meeting Gonzo from The Muppets. I shook his hand. He told me I was very realistic.
