    even if it is just a microscopic seconds

    Absolutely not angry. Truly. And Paul your words are sage and well said. I had considered remarking on a jacket he was trying on...

    This has a lot more to do with Mantis' life than Daniel Craig's life. I don't think Mantis' wonderful story intrudes on Craig's privacy at all.

    Mantis, by saying "I am a big fan and respect your work." is in my experience the best way to talk to someone famous whom you admire. Some people might say, "You've done a great job at James Bond." I've heard stories of people saying thing like that to celebrities and getting a response like "who are you to judge my performance!" But of course, who am I to judge your performance in meeting Daniel Craig!

    I do not judge I say simply humanely this man is entitled has a private life and you wondered if he was not anxious to let know that he was at this moment

    No because you have nobody who you track on a forum

    Two thoughts come to mind when reading this thread:

    The first is I wonder what Daniel Craig would think if he read it ?? Hmm...

    And Secondly I'm glad this encounter happened to The Mantis, rather than anyone else, given his dedication.

    You are a lucky man Mantis, I would give just about anything to have the experince that you had.

    Nice one David, it was inevitable this day would come eh!
  • othertravelothertravel Posts: 438MI6 Agent
    It's a great story, and I think Mantis handled it well.

    In contrast, a friend of mine ran into Patrick Stuart once, and said "Hey, guy from Star Trek; can I have your autograph?".

    Patrick Stuart was not amused.
  • VinnyMacVinnyMac Posts: 246MI6 Agent
    I wonder if DC would have signed an autograph. I probably would have asked for that when he said no to the photo.
  • mrgatsbymrgatsby Southern CaliforniaPosts: 165MI6 Agent
    I think It would have been fun to have somone ring me up having him hear my Bond James Bond Theme ringtone go off within earshot, then acting as if I was not aware he was there while taking the call.

    He propably would have thought ''What a geek'' to himself. Or rather What a ****! :))

    Well, that for shure would have annoyed him and put you in the 'no-go' list with Tom Ford.

    It's always a suprise to see an actor or celeb in the flesh by accident in such situations because they either look exactly like you've seen them in photos or on the screen, or they look very different. My wife worked part time as a nurse at an event arena for many years and met many celebs. She has many interesting stories, but all in all the ones she interacted with were very polite and gracious. I've also seen met a few in my travels by accident, though never got the chance to see any associated with the Bond films. One of my favorites was chatting for a few minutes with Peter O'Toole outside a restaurant while we waited for cabs rides (it was London and raining of course). He was a LOT taller than I realized but those piercing eyes were the real thing as was his droll humor. He could make a joke about anything - he made one on the weather and I don't remember it now but I know it made me appreciate him even more. He had just made a film called Rougue Male. I had mentioned it was my first visit to London and he told me to not miss Frank Finley who was doing a stage farce about Henry the 8th and his wives. I did and had a great time - it was hilarious. He was such a gracious man and I'll always treasure that moment. It's such a treat and so nice to meet an artist one admires who turns out to behave as you would imagine.

    Congrats, Mantis! Great story. Sure, a picture would have been nice but you have a memory that will last a lifetime. Thanks for sharing it with us.

    You may think so, but you never know until you ask. He's a man, just like the rest of us. I don't think that it's rude to ask or for him to say "no."
