What would you do....

[Finnguala]

You are happily shopping with your best friend, and then suddenly... you look right into the eyes of... Orlando Bloom... what would you do? <P>(Oh, could be that this is a repeat topic, sorry for that )

[eleanor_niphredil]

what would I do? Scream, shout, grab hold of him about the waist and never let go, thats what I'd do!<P>but seriously, I dont know. Engadge him in intelligent conversation? Get him to sign my forehead? I have actualy had an encounter like this when I saw santa shopping in the supermarket when I was four.

[Finnguala]

Heh, but Santa isn't that good looking :P

[eleanor_niphredil]

This one was <P>One thing I would do is make sure that I didnt look as stupid as some people do when meeting celebrities. No drooling, muttering or staring with mouth open!

[Finnguala]

<BR>What would I do... I'd say: "Hi Mr. Bloom." and then get out of there as quick as I can.

[eleanor_niphredil]

What if it wansnt him? How embarassing would that be! <p>[ February 22, 2003: Message edited by: eleanor_niphredil ]

[Finnguala]

Then I'd get out of there even quicker!!

[eleanor_niphredil]

<------ me seeing Orlando!<P>But really, I am not so much of a fangirl. Perhaps i would ask him to sign something, and then just talk to him. Apperently he is really nice to his fans.

[Inderjit Sanghera]

Punch him....

[eleanor_niphredil]

the fangirls wont be happy...<P>stuff 'em!

[Meela]

ive often wondered about this sort of thing. id probably attract his attention so he cant take his eyes off me (wishful thinking...) then act out a scene from shakespeare or whatever like a true actor and hope he whisks me off to try and get me signed up to star in his latest film.

[Finnguala]

Inderjit Sanghera, aww, you're evil Why'd you punch him??!!<P>Meela, you think exactly the way I always do about this sort of things... it probably will never happen but... who knows

No, YOU find him annoying <BR>I don't believe that you'd really punch him. So, what would you do?

Begins to wail in a wimpy, girly fashion, not at all unlike a CERTAIN character after he sees a Balrog.

[eleanor_niphredil]

Your mean! *runs into a corner, crying*

[Inderjit Sanghera]

Does victory dance before he realises he's never made so many inane posts in one discussion.

[Meela]

would anyone actually be brave enough to walk up to him and kiss him on the lips and not stop for about ten minutes?

[eleanor_niphredil]

he was going to sock Orlando Bloom in the mouth! What was I supposed to do!<P>I'd probably just stand there to. What did you think I meant by intelligent conversation?

[Finnguala]

You people are crazy!! <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> would anyone actually be brave enough to walk up to him and kiss him on the lips and not stop for about ten minutes? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Uhh, ten minutes is a LONG time. And no, I don't think I have the guts to do such thing.

[eleanor_niphredil]

I would1 Leed me to 'im!

[BethoHOG]

Sick. I'm not at all that crazy about Orlando Bloom. More like Elijah Wood... okay, still, not at all very obsessed.

[Finnguala]

Ok, other question. You are happily shopping with your best friend, and then suddenly... you look right into the eyes of... Elijah Wood... what would you do? <P>Well, I'd fall onto(?) my knees and start crying! No, I wouldn't! Hehe... I don't know

[BethoHOG]

Now THAT'S more like it! Haha, I'd probably ask him to sign something. Or, like I said before, "Be too stunned to speak".<p>[ February 22, 2003: Message edited by: BethoHOG ]

[Firondoiel]

I shriek... IT'S YOU!!!!!! and then faint dead away. Then he'd have to revive me.

[Finnguala]

I've wrote him once, Elijah, told him a lot of crazy things, but he never wrote back... so when I'd see him somewhere I'd say: "Hey Elijah, why didn't you wrote back!?"

[eleanor_niphredil]

Elijah Wood? Now thats different. And I'm not really that hooked on Orlando Bloom.

[Dark Shadow]

Um, if I was shopping with a friend, I'd probably have to drag that friend out of the shop before they embarrassed themselves (and me for that matter…) hideously. If I was on my own, I’d say hi….. and then I guess, well, I’m not sure actually. I’ll just wait for it to happen. Hopefully I’d have something intelligent to say, but I sure wouldn’t lose sleep over it. Actually, I don’t think I’d bother to talk to him now I think about it. It’s not really worth fighting through rabid fangirls to talk to him. Now if Christopher Lee (someone I admire immensely ) happened to turn up it would be a different story. I don’t think there’d be a fangirl problem , and I’d like to talk to him about pronunciation. I’m an odd kind of person really.

[Dark Shadow]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> "Hey Elijah, why didn't you wrote back!?" <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I wonder what he'd say if you asked why he didn't "wrote" back? Maybe he wouldn't notice....

[eleanor_niphredil]

I'd probably be the embarrassing friend! I'd whisper "Thats Elijah Wood!" to her, and she would say "who?". I'd make sure I had my picture taken with him. It really depends on how many fan girls there where. In Manchester, there arnt really that many.

[Merri]

I'd probably walk right by him without realizing who he was. I tend to be oblivious like that.

[avarrogion]

I doubt it will happen to me ...i am in Malaysia....

[Vardadurwen]

I'd probably say something like "Hey, aren't you Orlando Bloom? Wanna jump in one of those photo booths with me and get your picture taken with me?" Or else I'd ask him what it was like to be in such an epic trilogy.<P>Ah yes, I would love to think that I would be civilized, however I'm sure I would be very loud and annoying, like every other girl who's met him. I would hope that even though I would probably be loud, I would at least be witty since I usually don't get all flustered and not-knowing-what-to-say in situations like that.<P>Oh ya, and I'd ask him for the e-mail addresses of all the hobbits haha!

[Rynoah, the Overly-Happy]

If it was Orlando Bloom, I'd make a note of it, but leave him be. After all, I'm sure he's already practically mobbed when he walks out the door.<P>If it was Elijah Wood, I'd do the same. I think I'd do the same for every actor in Hollywood. Well... maybe not every one....

[Finnguala]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I wonder what he'd say if you asked why he didn't "wrote" back? Maybe he wouldn't notice.... <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> <BR>*Ahem* hehe... maybe he'd say: "What?!"<P>"You are happily shopping with your best friend, and then suddenly... you look right into the eyes of... Viggo Mortensen... what would you do?" <BR>Ok, let's see what you people would do when you see Viggo. <P>O btw, I can't post till wednesday, so don't do any crazy things while I'm gone

[Meela]

id jump on him screaming and drag him home with me to stay forever <P>or id drag him off to a stylish cafe (my treat of course ) and get him to recite his poetry to me or sing the lay of luthien or whatever over coffee and gateau

[Inderjit Sanghera]

Hows about this one...your ambling along the slave fields of Mordor and you look into the eyes of the beautiful Shagrat?

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Movies topic, moved to the Movies forum.

[Dark Shadow]

I wouldn't notice Shagrat. My town is full of Orc-like people. In fact, as I once said, "If PJ runs out of Orcs, he only has to come down around here and he'll be surrounded by them." Yeah. In fact, Shagrat's probably around here somewhere, wondering what happened to the real Orc army

[Eressië Ailin]

VIGGO!!!! VIGGO!!!!! VIGGO!!!!!! I would NEVER let go of him if I saw him somewhere!!!! <P><3Viggo Mortenson<3<p>[ February 23, 2003: Message edited by: Eressië Ailin ]

Orlando?<BR>Go something like: "I know your face..wait, you´re Orlando!!! OMG, I just met a LotR actor! You know, you actually don´t look THAT crap without the wig..." <P>Elijah:<BR>Take one look at the eyes, then run in the other direction screaming. <P>Viggo???<BR>DON´T ASK! I have a complete scenario thought out on that one... it involves "fainting" in his arms and then having to be carried around... hold him and never let go...tape his voice... *swoon* *Sigh* *dream*<P>I guess you can see my preferances.....

[gilraën]

I notice this is not asked about Brad Dourif, Ian McKellan etc.

[eleanor_niphredil]

A star is a star. they all get the same treatment, whether they be Orlando Bloom, Shagrat or what!

[Meela]

brad dourif?<P>my screams of joy would echo across the universe

only . . . . *figures in her head* 6 days, 1 hour and 28 minutes until I see viggo!!!! tee hee hee. <BR>I don't know what I am going to do when I see him! I'll probably faint. hehe . . . hope he catches me. not that I'm gonna be close enough to him for him to catch me, he's gonna be on a stage and I will be somewhere out there in the audience. sorry to brag, and I swear I'm not a fangirl!! Seriously!

[Cibbwin]

Well, if I saw MIRANDA OTTO in a store, I'd grin at my friend, start shaking like a leaf, ask Miranda to sign something, and start stuttering in her general direction.

[Rynoah, the Overly-Happy]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Ok, let's see what you people would do when you see Viggo.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Please see my above answers.<P>For Shagrat? I'd probably run him through with my sword. <P>Brad Dourif? See above. Sir Ian McKellen, I may actually say, "Good afternoon, sir , how are you?" or something along those lines, but I probably wouldn't spaz out like some other people say they would. <P>Miranda Otto? See my above answers (not the McKellen one). Can you guys see a pattern?

[eleanor_niphredil]

you take a sword shopping? Doesnt that spook your mates?

[Meela]

would anyone freak out and suddenly start spouting lines from Lotr in front of a cast member?<P>eg. Ian Mckellan is walking along, and you jump out in front of him and yell "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!"<P>or you meet Brad Dourif and push him down some steps and yell at him about leechcraft.<P>or walk up to Miranda Otto, flip your hair, and yell "You stay away from my man, human!" in a true Arwen moment.

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

If it were Elijah, I'd friek out. If it were Orlando, I'd friek out, and fervently wish for a change of appearance. Then I'd have dreams about him for the next year...or two...or three... and reproach myself for not saying something when I had the chance. :-( And then, when I get old, I'll remember it as an example of how stupid people my age can get. And tell my grandchildren about it.<BR>If it were viggo, or any one of the others, I'd be polite, try not to friek out, and ask for an autograoh or something, but not rip it out of their hands. Well...if it were Shagrat...I'd say: "Hello sir! Are you lost, maybe? Wrong planet?" <p>[ February 26, 2003: Message edited by: GaladrieloftheOlden ]

I'd take out mah trusty hithlain rope out of my authentic lotr pack, tie 'im up and take him home, or hang him in my locker. Seriously, I'd probably faint. *sigh*

[Finnguala]

And what about Sean Bean. (I don't like him at all) I'd scream something un-nice to him in Dutch (hehehehe) <p>[ March 02, 2003: Message edited by: Finnguala ]

[Rynoah, the Overly-Happy]

Hmm... Sean Bean....<P>I'd do one of two things:<P>1. Leave him alone.<P>2. Involuntarily gasp, "Sean Bean!" and then feel stupid afterwards.<P>3. Try not to look like a fool and pretend I didn't see him.<P>I said two things, didn't I? Well, refer to the signature that says, "There are three kinds of people in this world:..."

If it were Elijah Wood and a certain someone who calls me his girlfriend were near, I would cast my hood over my eyes and hope I wasn't recognized.<P>Now if it were Peter Jackson or Sean Astin, I would be completely mesmerized by the adorable children they have! Then I'd ask SA to sign my Notre Dame hat, and ask his daughter to, as well. I just love children...<P>But I think my brother had a good (and funny) idea.
