Robert Pattinson. Met him a private event years ago when he was in town filming Twilight.
Gene Simmons. Didn’t shake his hand but did give me a nod
I also met the entire Monday Night Football crew back when it was Mike Tirico and Jon Gruden calling games. My wife’s cousin used to work for ESPN and often traveled with the MNF crew and met them when the Saints had a game on Monday night. I believe my wife also tried on Gruden super bowl ring
Also shook LaRon Landry hand as they were walking down Victory Hill before a game. I swear his grip nearly broke my hand

Being here and practicing in D.C. I have had the opportunity to meet a number of presidents. I spoke with one of them one-on-one at our golf course for more than 10 minutes. I finally got out of there because I thought we were backing up the course.
I met and had dinner with a couple of SCOTUS chief justices and several associate justices. I even introduced one and sat next to him all evening.
But I was most in awe about meeting and shaking the hand of Harvey C. "Barney" Barnum, Jr. Col. USMC (Ret), who won the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions during the Vietnam War. I was introduced to him by a good friend of mine, a retired USMC two star, who invited me to play in a USMC benefit golf tournament. I have to admit that shaking the hand of a MOH winner was a high point in my life.

There have been a few, but I reckon most famous would be George H. W. Bush when I was in college (or Richard Nixon when I was four).

Does a head nod count?
If so, Dr. J, in the Bahamas airport. Really cool.

Chris Benoit. Didn't really shake hands with him but patted him on the back of the shoulder.
Met him and Eddie Guerrero in LC back in the late 90s when they were in town for a WCW show. Eddie was a character.

Ron Jeremy
He was doing a comedy routine at the Gold Club in BR and came and had dinner and drinks at a restaurant I worked at. We all took pics with him and he gave us free tickets to the show that night. He even bit my gf on the back of the neck for some sick reason while taking pics.
