Famous people I have met.

Let's see:

Princess Diana - I met Prince Charles as well as the same time, but in his case, it 
was one of those shakehands and move on things - the Princess got us ice-
cream! (I was about 7 or 8 at the time, I think)

John Howard, Prime Minister of Australia. About a two minute conversation with 
him.

His Eminence, George Cardinal Pell - back when he was Auxiliary Bishop of 
Melbourne, I was quite often one of his Altar Boys.

I went to school with Matthew Newton, who is a well known Australian actor (his 
father is probably Australia's biggest name in television - I met him once or twice 
as well).

Oh - and I was taught some lessons at school by a priest who was in 'The 
Exorcist' (playing a Priest, of all things!) but I can't remember his name. Just that 
he was really cool. "Don't any of you boys want to ask me about religion? No. OK, 
well they sent me a limo when we were filming..."
