I got a photo with Sven Goran Eriksson when he was Leicester City FC manager a decade or so ago.

Hardly The Queen, but he's a significant improvement over my #2. (Samantha Bailey).

I don't really have any anecdotes of meeting famous people IRL. But I do find it curious how this question seems to be a common one for ice-breakers.

I notice on Come Dine With Me (the TV show) that the contestants ask each other this question in basically every series.

Why is this? Is it like the same excitement I get from finding a shiny Pokemon or spotting a rare bird out on a walk? Is it because people can provide insights as to what these people are actually like everyday? Or something else?
