Thread: What is it like to travel sitting next to a celebrity?

A couple of summers ago we were on a Los Angeles-London-Paris British Airways flight. My teenage daughters kept elbowing me during the flight, insisting that the guy in front of us was Niall Horan, the "sensitive" singer in One Direction. I told them it couldn't be; if he really travelled commercial, he'd be up in First Class, not in Business. But I pulled aside a flight attendant and asked her if it was indeed the young singer. "No, not at all!" she told me.

But my girls were convinced the flight attendant was not being truthful in an effort to protect the boy's privacy (and prevent a mob scene in a confined area. If you know One Direction fans, you know what I am talking about.)

So they quietly asked the kid if he was Niall. He said he was, and chatted very sweetly to my girls for a bit. He was returning from The Teen Choice Awards. back to his base which was London. He was kind enough to do a selfie with my kids, which was the hit of the internet for about 3 seconds.

Interesting story! It never happened to me to talk to a celebrity besides the fact once I met guys from Up 10tion ( https://elitecelebsmag.com/up10tion-members-profile/ ) at the airport , that was unusual experience.

I don't know about you, but I would personally feel quite uncomfortable =)
