In the winter wonderland thing in Hyde Park.
Asked for a photo, but he was with family and said "not at the minute".

I'd stood by awkwardly while they finished a conversation, but the amount of people around, he probably didn't want to draw any attention with a whole posed photo thing.

Said not a problem and we headed off in different directions.

Not sure if he 'does' photos, but didn't seem too bothered by it.

Don't know why I'm mentioning it. Suppose I had hoped so much for a photo to post on here.

I'm with pals this weekend and they didn't really know who he is.
Although they're both fans of 4 lions, since I showed them it.

That's weird; I was there and I got a photo without quarrel.

We got two with quirrels. They were eating the nuts out of our hands.


Thursday

I have a job at that place, but I've finished for the day and didn't see him.

You know what I'm worried about giving out that much information about myself.

Okay ignore this post, I don't work there.

Morris posed for me draped on a sack and quite naked without the smallest quibble.

When I saw him years ago, a potential bad reaction is exactly why I didn't approach him. I don't want my appreciation of him to be impacted by him yelling "CAN'T YOU JUST FUCK OFF? I'M JUST TRYING TO HAVE A PLEASANT EVENING WITH MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER", not that he would I'm sure, but I've heard he can be quite abrupt on occasion.

I didn't dare talk to him but we made eye contact for a few seconds, and he knew that I knew. I felt there was a kind of electric sexual tension.

Stories like the one in the OP make me glad to have moved to America, and having absolutely zero chance of meeting Morris in real life. Because, of course, you WANT to go over and shake hands and talk about how much of a fan you are, but he's also clearly a very private person. So, that's a dilemma that I'd hate, because on the one hand, I wouldn't want to embarrass him/myself, but if he was right there, I'd feel like I would have to, as he shaped a big portion of my life/sense of humour, and it may never happen again.

I feel he does approach it in the right way. Glad he's not "hey, sorry, my actual blood family, let me just talk to a stranger for 15 minutes, sorry i'm famous", as that'd be silly, and I feel like the only time I've been disappointed that he didn't do an autograph was with Neil. But he didn't know who he was, or why he probably deserved one more than most, so that's fine.

small_world

Yeah, I tried to make it as clear as possible that I didn't mind too much if he said no.

I reckon I'd be the type to really hate having randoms approach me and bother me, especially seconds after walking in to a place you're hoping to relax in.

Just sort of takes you though doesn't it?
I didn't know he had that private type of thing, but now thinking about it, I'm sure I remember him not doing interviews and even being self conscious appearing in his own shows.

Hope he had a good time in there though.
There were some good little stalls and rides. The woman on the waffle stand next to the dodgems was having a laugh with us about people being sick on top of the stand from the ride above. Good waffles too.
Waffle rating 8/10

You should have been like "Okay, what about on the hour?? Haha! Come on mate don't be an arsehole it's Christmas!"

He was nothing but pleasant after the Q&A for Four Lions filming in Nottingham in 2010. He was really engaging and interested in people and answering any questions spurted his way. He was surrounded by 20-ish people (fans) at the end, signing BE DVDs etc... I shook his hand and asked him about radio. It never crossed my mind to ask him for a photograph (and noone else there did either, thinking about it now). I was just thrilled to be there.


WesterlyWinds

I saw him in a pub near Angel a few months ago. I was quite drunk and so squealed to my friend 'oh look it's Chris Morris' before realising to my sadly un-unutterable shame what I had done. I had no desire to actually go talk to the man though, best keep my idea of who he is separate from who he actually is. Up until this point in my life I'd always scoffed at my friends when they had seen that bloke off of Eastenders. unable to understand their excitement. Now I do, oh I do now.

Morris is a cold-hearted monster. If he'd had any heart, he would have allowed the photo, given you signed DVDs and invited you round for Christmas lunch with the family, with all the trimmings.

When I met Chris Morris, he farted up my arse and on my balls.

I went off him after that.

One of my favourite stories Russell Brand tells is the one where he sees Chris Morris on the street and prances up to him to excitedly invite him, one of Russell's heroes, to come see a show he's doing with Karl Theobald. "That's very nice," Morris says, "But I shan't be coming to the show."

Thomas

I think, if you remember it better, the dialogue given is closer to 'thank you for this piece of paper, but I shan't be coming.'

BritishHobo

THAT'S THE ONE. I couldn't find a link anywhere, and I can't be arsed to edit, so there's your punchline, folks. Enjoy it.

Man's out with his Family for Family time for Family Fun time and you have the bald-headed GALL to ask him for a photie? He shoulda cut your face open, not that anyone could tell the difference.

I used to work near Chris Morris' office and would quite often see him striding about in a variety of retina-melting shirts. The first time I saw him he entered a newsagents on Berwick Street and there was a sudden power cut at the very moment he crossed its threshold because he is THE DARK PRINCE OF COMEDY.

Saw Morris having a long conversation with Peter Serofinowitz in HMV once, he was wearing that horrible urban camo puffa jaeket

When I was sort of homeless & unemployable last summer I spent a lot of time wandering around Soho with nothing to do & saw Chris Morris a few times. Once he was outside a cafe with 2 women & he did a big guffaw at something & the other time he was unlocking his bike from a bike rack & wearing bike riding clothes.

I have never seen Morris, but I used to work with a guy who worked with Morris at radio Bristol[NB]He was not there the day of the infamous helium news incident[/NB]. 

I've mentioned this in another thread - my ex colleague was a studio or sound engineer or something.  At the time, despite already making a name for himself for his larks, Morris was just another local radio DJ, so it wasn't particularly earth shattering.  They didn't really socialise much and the only souvenir he has of his time working with Morris was one of those "meet the team" type photos.  Morris looked about 12 in it.
