Someone was so lucky to actually see him in person!

I have been a huge fan of Cillian's films for a long time now, I have seen them all and I think he is just the most fantastic actor- certainly one of the best of his generation. I have dreamed a million times of having the chance to just see or speak to him and although I am still in absolute shock....I did!
I went to live earth yesterday in london and decided to leave just before the end to beat the crowds. I was standing on the platform waiting for the train and decided to walk to the other end (have no idea why...fate perhaps?!) but I walked straight past Cillian and he looked me directly in the eye (I think he instantly realised that I had recognised him!) I froze on the spot and my legs actually started to shake...I thought that I had imagined it as to me he is the one person I would like to see! I had to make sure it was him and sure enough he was standing with Yvonne waiting for the train.....they seemed sooooo normal! To my complete surprise and I still cannot believe it- no one recognised him! I was waiting for 10 minutes and was watching but everyone was oblivious. I am happy about this in a way as I know from interviews that I have seen that Cillian hates the spotlight and wants to live without celebrity hassle.
I was on the train (in different carriages) and knowing that they would be getting off where I was I thought that If I didnt say anything then I would regret it forever. When we got off the train, to my horror they were walking behind me so I turned and said something....probably completely incoherent! He responded in his amazing accent 'thank you very much, i appreciate it' and carried on walking. I am still not over it! Sounds silly to some people but hopefully some people on here will know what I mean. I am a true fan of all his films, I only wish that he knew that and did not think I was some crazed fan!
So anyway I saw him and I am pleased to say that he is every bit what we want him to be- gorgeous, polite and above all, a normal guy!
