How to Ask a Celebrity for an Autograph or Photo

Approaching a celebrity can be a daunting task. Asking for an autograph can be even more nerve-wrecking! But it isn't all that bad - read on!

Understand that celebrities are used to people asking them for autographs. They take it in stride, so don't be too nervous.

Remember that celebrities are just people. They have real lives and responsibilities; make sure your timing is appropriate for what you want. Fans are appreciated but keep in mind that no one wants to be ambushed exiting the lavatory stall or with a mouthful of dinner at a business meeting.

Approach the celebrity. Don't get so close that it annoys them. Say "Hi," tell them your name, and give a light compliment. Do not gush - they don't enjoy it. Ask a question or two. Comment on their latest movie, video, book, or whatever they're famous for.

Ask for an autograph by saying "I'd love to have your autograph," or "May I take a picture with you?" Don't be shy. Be confident and smiley.

Hold out a pen and paper, but don't stuff it into their hands.
