Probably too busy fracturing knees and getting other such injuries.

No major injuries except a mark over right eyebrow when I collided with the door closed by a friend whom I was running to catch. I applied a spider's web over the wound. And a dislocated finger while playing football. Two near drownings.
TV came to India in 1959 (I was 17 by that time doing my Bachelor's).

Daniel Johns of Silverchair.

He wasn't really on TV other than music videos... but I sure enjoyed watching him(he was very, very pretty). Probably the top famous person who caught my eye as a young person(more a teen, though).

He caused an accident while driving under the influence a few weeks ago about 10 minutes drive from my place.

I wonder how many kids had the fantasy wanting to flail their hooks shouting, "Danger Will Robinson! Danger"!

That guy on The Millionaire.
He gave random people $1,000,000.
I'd like to have met him.

I don't remember wanting to meet anyone in particular as a child although i did meet a few, whom i mostly don't remember. For example, as a babe in arms i am told i had the honour of sitting on Mark Bolan's knee while he drunk tea in our kitchen.

Later in life I've met most of the people i would like to meet, mostly through work but some by chance. Sitting with Ian Heslop on a train. Riding down to breakfast in a hotel elevator with Patrick Stewart and David Prowse and ending up having breakfast with them, most of the cast of STTNG and a few of their friends.

That's pretty crappy. I hope no one was hurt.

No serious injuries and hopefully he gets the help he needs and it's not the usual celebrity PR nonsense when they get caught doing dumb things.

I have never met a celebrity.
Although I've been mistaken for one a couple times.
It was weird to have some rando interested in me.
I'm not TV star material.
But I was almost as handsome as Marty Feldman.

That's too bad. He was never a stranger to rehab. I hope he is able to clean up(and I hope he grows his hair back, but that's just personal interest).

More importantly... who would have thought North Arm Cove would be international news! The 30 or so residents are delighted.
