I have been hob-nobbing with the “insanely famous” so I have been told.  I was told that this man was “majorly famous” and that he was a big celebrity, mostly in the UK, Europe and Australia.  The people from the States did not know who he was.  I have not followed television for many, many years so I had no idea when I was introduced to this guy without any prelude.  I got the impression that he was a very down-to-earth guy with no delusions of superiority or grandeur.  He just seemed like an ordinary, friendly person.

Gnome spoke Italian with him.  Everybody got along very well.
