Trevor Manuel (ex-) Minister of Finance (South Africa). Arrogant prick, boarded a domestic flight at last minute, clicked his fingers at me and demanded my seat (1A) on the basis that he always books that seat. I told him he hadn't booked it this time and wasn't going to get it. At that point I didn't realise who he was, not that it would have made any difference if I'd known. Cabin crew later told me and said he was always like that. No wonder my tax went up.

Charlize Theron, lovely, down to earth, 'chick' from Benoni.

Michael Winner. Stood behind this bumptious pretentious fat little squirt whilst he tried to check on for a flight he'd missed.
"Do you know who I am?"
"Yes Mr Winner, and you've missed your flight".
Pax behind me : "What happened to your private jet then?"

Michael and Ralf Schumacher. Polite, formal, walked through F class cabin, greeted other pax, sat down and didn't expect any special attention throughout the flight.

Boris Becker (this is third hand information). Got onto a QF flight, told FA : "I don't sign autographs, don't talk to me unless I talk to you, and don't bring me anything except what I've asked for."
FA : "Right, Sir. And who might you be?"
