Anyone here ever got starstruck...
Just wondering...(and it applies not just to boxers you may have met.)
I bet CutMeMick has once with all the people he has met :D
I never got starstruck but I went a tad quiet when I met Ricky Hatton. I didn't actually know what the hell to say to him.
After the pic was took I blurted out "Hope you smash Malignaggi" ;D He chuckled and said "thanks mate I'll do my best."
In contrast when I met Haye we both couldn't stop speaking to each other about various stuff :D
Your stories ?
Re: Anyone here ever got starstruck...
I once saw Max Cavalera (Sepultura, Soulfly) outside of a club in Seattle where Soulfly was playing. I was shit-faced drunk and blurted out, "Hey! It's fucking Max Cavalera!", he glanced over at me looking perplexed and pissed off as people started to try and get close to him as he followed his security through the crowd to the show.
I'm an idiot.

I once got close to Big Frank Bruno when i was about 10year old.He was up here in the North-east "Teeside Park"after he won the Heavyweight Title.He was surrounded by about 20 bouncers"I CANT THINK WHY,I MEAN WHO THE HELL IS GOING TO THREATEN BIG FRANK:o"Anyhow,with that many people around him it was very hard to get really close to him.Me dad got close to him though and eventually got his autogragh!Gee,FRANK IS A REALLY BIG FELLA,REALLY GREAT MAN TOO.

Only once. I had this date with Madonna, and I was really nervous. I didn't really want to be seen in public with her, because all her friends would wonder why she was bothering with an average guy. When I told her this she said, "If you like we can just go back to my place and fuck". I thought about it for a while and said "ok", and soon I forgot all about being starstruck.

Re: Anyone here ever got starstruck...
When I was much younger, I went to see my favorite death metal band play. My absolute guitar idol Terrance Hobbs was standing around after the show I went up to him and said "HOW YOU PLAY FAST?" word for word. I think he thought I was not a native english speaker or something he said "PRACTICE" very slowly and using hand gestures. I felt like a douche and my friends pointed at me and laughed. ;D
One of the most triumphant moments in my life.
Re: Anyone here ever got starstruck...

Suprised you were able to talk at all. Maybe he's not as big as I thought. ;)

I worked a part time job at Blockbuster video a while back, Nikki Nova came in to rent a movie. I said nothing while giving her money back a discounting her movie to free and removing her late fees. I should have at least asked for an autograph.
Re: Anyone here ever got starstruck...
I used to work in a building attached to the Melbourne International Airport and would go in there for lunch so i'd see a lot of our local sportspeople etc.
One time I was lining up for a coffee behind this dude, and suddenly he turns around and it was Hugo Weaving (the guy who plays Agent Smith in the Matrix).. Totally span me out, and I think he saw when I realised because he glanced forward, then looked back again and smiled.. Seemed like a pretty relaxed guy..
He ordered a cappuccino if anyone is interested :)

Once?
Mate I've been to the point where I have to hold on to something because my knees have buckled and they feel woobly.
The times where I was about to fucken pass out from amazement.
Luis Miguel
Celia Cruz
Beto Cuevas
Roselyn Sanchez
Henry Winkler
Johnny Depp
Jordana Brewster
I think I've gotten starstruck with every boxer I've met.
The ones that stand out the most Emile Griffith, ODLH & Erik.
