Mr and Mrs Jackson Doofmonkster spot famous star!!!

Jackson Monk · Post by **Jackson Monk** » Sun Jul 18, 2004 4:05 pm

Last weekend, myself and the lovely Mrs Monkdoofster abandoned the children for a long weekend of love in Paris. This was our first trip away without the kids since before the eldest was born (nearly 8 years ago).

During our splendid weekend, we came across five uncanny lookalikes....except....one of them was really a star...and we spent 20 minutes in his company

Which one did we really see and where....??

No prizes...it's just for fun...

Steve Martin preparing for his role as Inspector Clouseau ?

I'd love it if it was Fitz/Hagrid in the restaurant...

Hugh Grant. No question! You better have asked him 'about' 'About A Boy'.

Not EC, Not Steve Martin because I've heard nothing but bad stories from people who meet him.

I'll go with Hugh Grant, because airports with the waiting etc, can mean you can really get to know your celebrity well.

I'd say it was Robbie C who apparently is a very nice bloke.....

I vote for Pompidou, because that's where I saw Stephen Malkmus (who looks, alas, much older in person).

I voted for David Duchovny because I used to be a big X-Files fan and because I don't think he's really doing anything these days so he would have time to hang out.

I went for DD also but only on a whim. Can't wait to hear the real answer!!

Obviously it was Robbie Coltrane. He got the most votes!

Hey MBA, Al Gore got the most votes, too, but that doesn't make him president!

OK Doof time to spill the beanz!!

It's definitely either Coltrane or Duchovny. (And, I too have heard at least one disconcerting S. Martin story, from a pretty reliable source, sad to say.)

Does it have to be one of these 5, or can I take a different guess ? I think it was Robbie Williams.

Is now the time to confess my crush on Robbie Williams? Probably not.

Well who was it already?

It couldn't have been Steve Martin, because he just hands out cards that say something like, "This is to prove I met Steve Martin and found him to be thoroughly funny, charming, entertaining and a top guy".

Jackson Monk · Post by **Jackson Monk** » Wed Jul 21, 2004 11:57 am

Well ...times up....

Twas Mr Steve Martin who was strolling around the exhibits in the Musee National d'Art de Moderne, taking a deep interest in the Aurelie Nemours exhibition...

Mr Martin was clearly well aware of the discreet nudging and pointing going on around him and was lapping it up and wearing a smug grin. Surely he must have realised that people were smirking at his quite ridiculous pencil moustache!!

With regard to the exhibits themselves, will someone please, please, please tell me what I am failing to see in abstract 'painting'.

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Wed Jul 21, 2004 3:37 pm

The point?

So 'in his company' meant 'in the same room'? Somewhat disappointing, Mr M. Glad you got away for the trip.

migdd · Post by **migdd** » Wed Jul 21, 2004 3:43 pm

Pretty sure more than one of us assumed that "in his company" meant more like a dinner for two, a serious discussion of etchings or an invitation to join in on your "2nd honeymoon"!!!

so lacklustre · Post by **so lacklustre** » Wed Jul 21, 2004 4:51 pm

The point to abstract painting is that you don't have to make corrections. I voted for Huge.

My turn.

On our recent family holiday to the joys of Eurodisney did we see:

a) Anabelle Croft in front of us in the queue at Charles De Gaulle airport?
b) Elvis Costello dressed as Mickey Mouse?
c) Elvis Presley working as a toilet attendant? or
d) An Australian board member doing a Freddie Mercury impression and riding thunder mountain?

What a fun thread this is eh?

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Wed Jul 21, 2004 6:09 pm

I'll go for d). He gets around, that boy.

migdd · Post by **migdd** » Wed Jul 21, 2004 6:34 pm

I vote for the needle also!!!
