I don't understand why some people think it is a claim to fame if they have met people in the public eye. I have met quite a number over the years, it is no big deal. They are just human like the rest of us, warts and all.
Oh  FFS, it's just a bit of fun. If you don't want to play, just ignore the thread.

OK my lamest claim to fame, which still makes me giggle, was when at the age of ten I was sitting in the car with my mother and sisters on the pier of my home island. My sister, then five, was sitting on the potty in the back of the car when Prince Philip, on a walk about from the main Royal party who were visiting the island, stuck his head through the car window. My Mum nearly died of embarrassment. ;D
Typical, you complain about it, then you come up with one of the best ones :-)

A friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend is friends with Kevin Bacon.
On the less strict scale (i.e. anybody with a credit, not just cast) I have a Bacon number of 6.

I once saw Gordon Wossname, who played Hudson the Butler in 'Upstairs Downstairs', in a motorway service station cafe.

I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.
