What To Do When You See A Celebrity
1. Respect the celebrity's right to privacy.
2. Before approaching a celebrity, consider whether it's an appropriate circumstance to do so.
3. Actors don't always get into acting to become famous; they do so because they love acting. And, not every performer wants to meet people. If they ask to be left alone, let them be.
4. If the star is with their children or family, do not approach them. Little children are easily frightened by strangers and stars are protective of their kids. Wait until the star is alone, away from their family or acknowledges you.
5. Never interrupt a celebrity.
6. If a star is dining, talking with others or is otherwise involved, don't intrude. It's better to send a short note... something like this, "I saw you across the room, but didn't want to intrude. I really enjoy your performances and, if you have a moment, would love to say hello."
7. Engage a star in conversation, only if they seem open to it.
8. If you recognize a star from afar, it's OK to wave discretely and smile.
9. If the celebrity appears to be open to meeting you, smile, extend a handshake and introduce yourself.
10. Treat a star with the same respect you would anyone famous. Address them formally as Mr. or Miss, never by their first name, unless invited to do so.
11. If you recognize a star, but can't recall their name, don't insult the star by asking who he/she is. Never say, "Aren't you famous?"
12. Restrain your enthusiasm. Don't gush.
13. Be sincere in your compliments.
14. If you liked the star's performance, say so, but don't fake appreciation. It's good form to say when you last saw them perform and how much you liked their performance. It's bad form to tell them how bad they were.
15. Personal questions about their family or friends are no-nos.
16. You are more likely to get an autograph if you establish a rapport with the star first. Once you've done so, it's OK to ask for an autograph.
17. Do not collect autographs for others. It means you don't care about the star but only about the star's celebrity status. Ask for an autograph only if you really would treasure it.
18. Don't confuse an actor with their characters. Actors portray roles, but they don't live the roles they play. Call stars by their real names, not by their character's names. If you liked or didn't like the character a star portrayed, keep it to yourself.
19. Just because you know them, doesn't mean they know you. Be polite, but not overly friendly.
20. If you meet a celebrity, don't tell everyone where to find them. Let them enjoy their privacy.
