Me and [The Actor] BRIAN BLESSED !! [Prince Vultan in the 80's Flash Gordon movie etc] I got to meet HIM at a press event in London for the TomTom SatNav Voice over he'd just done
I won the "Look a like" comp too, so I walked away with a £160 SatNav which Brian Signed to me personally [As well as signing my Flash Gordon DVD inlay card over the photo of him as Prince Vultan of course]

Yeah I waited 30 years to meet him, I was pretty scared to be honest [Y'know the saying "You shouldn't meet your Heroes"] but he was totaly amazing and warm and approcable, I didn't freeze and lose the ability to speak or anything either [Like when I met Gerry Anderson, creator of Thunderbirds etc]
30 YEARS? Oh my... I can just imagine how long I'D have to wait to meet him in real life... *sweatdrops* It's good that all went well... and glad to hear that... at least I'll take note of that if and when I see him (I wish)... Awesome!!! I've heard of that saying... but I don't really get what that is trying to say... *smiles and sweatdrops*
Ahh... got it. That's what I thought it means... but wasn't too sure if I was right. Thanks for clearing that up sir ^^
And that's true in a lot of ways. But meeting him up close and personal could also strengthen your like for him/her. =3 Like what happened right there ^^ Looks like you had a smashing good time ^^
Cheers again good sir!!!

Fantastic, thanks for the info. I only knew him from Flash Gordon since some months ago, since I only watched a dubbed version I thought he was just a good Italian actor due to his look and manners, but after I found him in Hamlet, I digged for more info, interviews... about him and wow, he's an amazing actor and a cool person. I have introduce to some of my friends in Spain about his awesomeness and they now appreciate him a lot more. It great to know that he was just not acting as Vultan cause as he says on his audio-commentary he was born to play that role : ). I wish he acts in more fantasy pictures as Flash Gordon.
Yeah, I got there WAY early and totally psched myself to not freak out + be unable to speak etc [Like when I met Gerry Anderson, creator of the Thunderbirds series etc] He hugged me a fair bit, we where cheek to cheek for awhile as people took that photo, he looked into my eyes and grasped my wrist at one point too when I started going a bit Cub shy
