So one day someone signed my guestbook as "John Hannah". 'Yeah right,' I snorted, and went on with my life. Then a few days later, he signed again, insisting it was him, saying that he liked the site, and that he'd like to contact me. So I left my email address in the guestbook, thinking 'What the hey'. By then there was some more information that made it sound more likely that it was actually him. So there I was at work, getting no work done and emailing back and forth with John Hannah. When I wasn't emailing back and forth, I was checking my email every two seconds to see if something new had come in. There were only, like, three messages, but I still didn't get anything done all day.
In one of the messages, I mentioned that I was going to England soon and that I'd be going to see his friend Neil Dudgeon in a play he was in (hint hint, John, just in case you didn't have tickets yet). Upon discovering that I'd be in London, he gave me the number of someone to contact at Twickenham Studios, where he was filming "The Memory of Water".
So when I got to England, I called and talked to this contact at Twickenham. We were calling back and forth all day, trying to set something up. Finally, it was discovered that John wouldn't even be filming on the day that I could come in.
:(
But that's okay, because he wanted to meet me, so he was going to come in especially for me.
!
So we (me and my entourage, dontcha know) went down to Twickenham and had to wait for the 2nd assistant director, one of the people I'd talked to on the phone. She walked into the room and shook my hand, and I noticed that someone had walked in with her. ACK! It was John Hannah. He looked strangely normal - I didn't recognize him at first. I think I expected him to be sparkly or have an odd glow, being a movie star and all.
We went to the little juice-bar thing next door and he bought us water and we talked for about 45 minutes about what he's working on now, what he's just finished, what he's doing next... and he was interested in what I was doing, too. Tom Wilkinson (The Full Monty, Shakespeare in Love, etc.) who's also in "The Memory of Water" came over for a minute, shook our hands, seemed to think having a website was pretty weird, and went upstairs to watch cricket.
Anyway, then we were done and we were getting ready to go and he kissed each of us on the cheek before we left. I almost fell over backwards and had to keep from squealing until we got out of hearing distance.
Did I leave anything out, Stalkermuffin?
