Meeting a celebrity can be exciting, but it can also be intimidating and stressful. It can be difficult to know how to behave when you meet someone you have only seen through the media. Whether you're a celebrity's biggest fan or just meeting someone famous, it's important to be courteous, considerate, and respectful.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Meeting a celebrity at a date
Step 1. Learn about the celebrity ahead of time
If you're not the biggest fan of the celebrity and don't know her well, learn about her before you meet. You may have won the passes for the radio match, but you don't know their work. It is also possible that you like the celebrity, but do not know much about it. If this is the case, seek information about who it is. Watch their movies and TV shows, or listen to their music before the match so you're prepared.
You can find out information about the celebrity that you can become familiar with (such as where they grew up or the fact that they like dogs, as you do) to start a natural conversation
Step 2. Don't forget to introduce yourself
You can tell him your name and tell him a little about yourself. The celebrity may also want to feel like they have a chance to meet someone. Make sure to tell her your name and tell her a little about yourself when you meet her.
For example, “Hi, my name is Laura. I am from Bogotá and I am in my junior year of high school. I've been a fan of your music since I was 11 years old. "
Step 3. Take pictures with the celebrity
If you are in a meeting, it is often expected that you will be able to take photos with the celebrity. You can politely ask if you can take a picture with your phone. It is also possible that there will be photographers at the meeting. Be confident and courteous when asking for the photo.
- Say something like "Can we take a picture, please?"
- Be sure to say thank you for the photograph.
Step 4. Get their autograph
If you know you are meeting a celebrity, you can bring something for them to autograph. Don't carry a lot of things, because that can be overwhelming for her. Bring something that is part of their merchandise, such as a poster or a T-shirt, for them to sign. You may have a pen for autographs, but just in case you don't, take a pen or marker with you.
You can ask something like "Can you sign my poster, please?"
Step 5. Think about the topics of conversation in advance
Before going to the meeting, think about what you want to talk to the celebrity about. You can tell him how much you like his music or his movies. You can ask him deep questions about where he got his songwriting ideas or what the experience of playing a particular role was like.
Step 6. Try not to stress over it
The celebrity may seem divine to you, but remember that it is just another human. Try not to stress over the idea of meeting her and treat her as if you know any other person. The celebrity is likely to appreciate that you treat them like anyone else and not like someone special.
Step 7. Bring him a gift
Many celebrities value a fan's gifts. Don't give him something strange like a personal item, but you can give him a thoughtful present. Some celebrities like gifts from fans. For example, Taylor Swift posted a photo of herself wearing a sweater that a fan knitted for her on Instagram.
If you are a big fan of the celebrity and are concerned about getting your tongue stuck when you meet her, then write her a short note. You can tell her how much you admire her and value her work, just don't overdo it
Method 2 of 2: Seeing a Celebrity in Public
Step 1. Stay calm
If you are walking down the street and you realize that a celebrity has just passed in front of you, stay calm. Don't yell his name or make everyone know. You can politely approach her, if you think it's appropriate, but don't make a fuss to the point of causing everyone in the area to start chasing her.
Step 2. Tell him who you are
If you happen upon a celebrity, you may not have a lot of time to fully introduce yourself. If you think it's okay to approach the celebrity, be sure to at least tell them your name so they know who they know.
You can say something like “Hi, I'm Carla. Sorry to bother you, I just wanted to say hello and tell you that I am a great fan of your music. "
Step 3. Do not take photos of him without his permission
Taking photos of you without your permission is disrespectful. Most people do not like crowds of people following them to photograph them. The paparazzi take enough unauthorized photos of them already. Instead, if it seems appropriate to approach the celebrity, you can politely ask if you can take a photo.
- Say something like “Hi, my name is Juan. I like your music. Would you mind if we take a picture together? "
- If they say no, respect their wishes.
Step 4. Respect their privacy
You do not need to announce to the four winds that a celebrity is in a place or doing something certain. You can post on social media that you ran into her, but don't post every detail about it online. Don't call everyone you know to tell them to rush to the restaurant where he eats. A celebrity is also a person, let her have a private life.
Step 5. Don't touch her
You may want to run up to the celebrity and give them a hug, but be respectful of their personal space. If you're trying to get her attention, don't touch her on the shoulder. If he touches you (for example, if he puts his arm around you for a photo), then you can touch it as well, if that seems appropriate.
Step 6. Treat her like anyone else
A celebrity is also a person. You don't have to act like you're above the rest. Be polite and spontaneous with her. Try not to fuss or behave differently than usual around her. A celebrity will appreciate that you treat her like a normal person.
You can compliment her on her work and tell her that you are a huge fan, but try not to overdo it (like yelling and crying) when you talk to her
Advice
- Compliment her (for example, on her singing voice, makeup, outfit, etc.).
- Be polite and respectful if you don't want to have a picture taken or if you don't have time to talk.
