It depends on who you regard as the most famous.
I've hugged the band members of Bayside who have released 8 studio albums and well known if you like that kind of music. I've also chatted with Jimmy Carr the comedian after going to watch him. I also played with Peaches Geldof (Bob Geldof's daughter) after bypassing her security when I was a small kid at a park. Paula Yates was there and my parents were mortified.

Kevin Major, a Canadian author? Not that famous outside YA circles in Canada.
Alex Pangman, Juno-nominated jazz singer? Again, not that famous outside Canadian jazz circles.
James Nicoll, Hugo-nominated SF&F book reviewer and fan writer? Not sure he is known outside SF and RPG circles (he owned the gaming store where I hung out in the eighties).
Sadly, though, no one really, seriously famous.

My family has a long history with millionaires and billionaires, including Les Wexner and Jeffrey Epstein (yes, THAT Jeffrey Epstein!). He got rich conning Columbus billionaire Les Wexner out of a fortune. My father was involved in trying to get Wexner to sever ties with Epstein and realize he was a fraud, but Wexner fell for every scheme Epstein talked him into. We manage real estate for a lot of millionaires in Ohio, but other than the rich, the only famous person I've met is former Ohio Governor Ted Strickland.

Mikhael Gorbachev in the lift of the Dorchester hotel in London. I thanked him (through his translator) for making the world safer for my son who had just been born. Sadly this was a long time ago.

Around 2000, I met Brian Bell, the guitarist for Weezer. My band had just performed a short set in a club in downtown St. Louis. He just happened to be there listening to music. He liked the sound and particularly the sound of our guitarist's guitar. We had a beer and just chatted a bit. It was cool but a little weird as young as we were and Weezer being such a well-known band. Anyway, he offered to pay cash for my guitarist's guitar. The guitarist was dumb and said he wouldn't sell it. I didn't get it because that guitar was super finicky and always going out of tune.
It wasn't even that expensive or special of a guitar, but guitarists believe in the magic and personhood of their instruments.
Fun times.

Shane Douglas, Ric Flair, Eddy Guerrero. Plus a lot more pro wrestlers
i don't know that this is the most famous person i've met, but my favorite story of meeting a "celebrity" is the time i went to see Electric Six in a small-ish club in louisville, kentucky. the opening band hadn't started playing yet, and the crowd in the bar side of the club was starting to gather. my wife at the time had managed to grab a table, and we were sitting there watching a college football game on the tvs above the bar.
i look over at the bar and there stands Dick Valentine, the lead singer from Electric Six. we had two unused chairs at the table, so i sorta nodded at him and at one of the empty chairs. he came over and sat down with us and we talked football for a bit before he had to go get ready to play.

Lemmy Kilmister.
He's by far the most interesting man I have ever met. Miss him.

Met a good amount of famous musicians but Lemmy Kilmister takes the cake.
Such a gentleman. Forever missing him.
Oh crap, you met Lemmy? Very cool. I am not a big Motorhead fan but he's just such an important presence in the history of metal that I admire him nonetheless.
I have probably posted here but I have only had brushes, not really met people. A couple 80s YA authors at a conference I helped organize on a summer job in university is about it. Got waved at by Pierre Trudeau when he was prime minister (not long before his retirement, in fact). Met some local celebs (e.g. the mayor of my hometown) when I was growing up but nobody famous on a larger scale.
