Spotted John Legend, Channing Tatum, -and- Emily VanCamp LHR-LAX a few weeks ago. All of us in First. Legend was super chill, sipping wine and watching movies, dazing most of the flight. Channing was super paranoid, sun glasses, hat, jacket, blanket the entire flight, hiding and on/off his laptop. Emily was just hanging out.
John was seated closest to the door. As soon as we landed and the door opened, he was first off. Straight to the elevator at the remote gate at LAX, into an SUV, he was literally gone in less than two minutes and I was immediately behind him most of the way.
Channing on the other hand did not pay for the luxury treatment. He was met by premium services, but had to take the bus just like everyone else back to the terminal, and then used the Global Entry kiosk next to me!

Ricky Gervais was in CE on our flight back from AMS on Sunday afternoon - I noticed him in the lounge and then we ended up behind him all the way through to baggage claim at T5. He had an immigration bloke give him some props for his work but aside from that I didn't see anyone bother him. No special treatment that I could see.
(O/T but I can't really stand his comedy).
Quite some time ago saw Clarkson, May and Hammond in the T5 FLounge before we flew somewhere, but that would probably have been a 2017 thread (I didn't realise this existed!)

Michael Mcintyre on BA610 this morning with the family in Row 2. Haven't said hello yet, maybe will at the end. The Mrs and I feel awkward that we are in Row 1 as lowly blues on a redemption!!

Anna Wintour and one of her 鞄持ち at the LHR T5 First Lounge on July 11th. She was leaving as I was arriving. Rather surprised to see her slumming it with the riff-raff. I'd thought she'd be in one of the LHR VIP suites or at the very least in the CCR. I assume some assistant (cue Anne Hathaway here) got fired over the faux pas.

Last Sunday July7th on flight from AMS-LHR Marc Bolland sitting same row as I was. Got picked up by Special Services and apologised for having to move ahead of me. Well, I was going nowhere as we were at a busgate and they seemed surprised that we had landed so had to wait a while anyway. But he seemed quite decent.

Went to Blighty in May with Bernie Taupin. He was in First and didn’t come back to visit with me in Club. ��
