Ep 27 - Asking A Celeb for A Photo.......In The TOILET 😭😭😭
Man Like You with Mo Gilligan, Babatunde Aléshé & Eddie KadiShow Notes
Ever been in the same room as someone famous… and completely bottled it?
In this episode, the guys dive into hilarious, awkward and unforgettable moments of being starstruck by celebrities. From backstage encounters with Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle and Busta Rhymes, to missing the chance to meet Jackie Chan, and a painfully awkward moment asking Ryan Giggs for a photo in the worst possible place.
They also talk about: • The celebrities they were too nervous to approach • The weird psychology of meeting your heroes • Backstage stories from BBC studios, arenas and award shows • Why some legends have presence you can feel across the room • And the time someone tried to bond with Ludacris over matching trainers… and it went horribly wrong
It’s a hilarious deep dive into those moments when confidence disappears, your brain stops working, and suddenly you’re just a fan again.
If you’ve ever met someone famous and instantly regretted everything you said, this episode is for you.
