» Celebrities part II

Yeah, whatever.......
14 years ago I was sitting on a dusty floor at 6th form college (it was the cool thing to do) when friend of a friend Dominic Monaghan (he of 'Lord of the Rings' and 'Lost' fame) came and plonked himself down next to me. The conversation went thusly:

Dom: "so, I'm auditioning for a role in a telly programme with that woman out of "Keeping Up Appearances"

Me: "oh right"

And then I turned to chat to the person on my other side for he was the lad who had the smoking materials and I had no interest in a 17 year old's whistful fantasies of fame.

Suffice to say, he got the part on the UK TV series "Hetty Wainthrop Investigates" and used it as a springboard to a highly successful Hollywood career.

Maybe if I had been a bit less ignorant I'd now be going on holidays to Mr Monaghan's big LA mansion (which he probably now has) as his faithful friend who he met at college and supported him throughout his bugeoning acting career. Or I might have ended up getting him pissed, missing his audition and he'd be working on the bins now.

So, in effect, I made his career.......
