When I was in Sydney, I spent a day scuba diving with Jerry O'Connell. We both were going through the certification process, so it was an all day event. He came across as a typical frat boy but he was still a nice guy.

I've met/chatted/dined/etc. with some pretty big-name politicians, but that's about it.

I used to hang with people that used to be famous. But they are mostly retired from their sport now and I lost touch with them years ago. The major implication of hanging out with my friends, that became famous sports stars, is you drank for free a lot, but you tended to get into fights, as someone always gets drunk and wants to take on the guy known for being a tough guy on the ice.

For a second I thought you were talking about Mikhail Baryshnikov... and then your last sentance threw me off. Did Baryshnikov ever do ice-capades?

a couple of my friend's siblings are either well-known actors or pro-athletes. nothing special, except free booze and **** like that when you are out, but to me they're just the same people i knew before all the other stuff happened...

LOL, not that I know of. I don't wanna name the guy in particular, known for being a tough guy, but if you're a hockey fan, you'd know him in an instant.
