Q&A for How to Ask a Celebrity for an Autograph or Photo

Just apologize, and explain that you thought he/she was a celebrity. They will probably be flattered!

You can call him/her (or email, tweet, etc.), set up a Skype with the celebrity, or you can have him/her as a friend on social media. You could try to get the celebrity to come to your town or city to do a play or a concert (if the celebrity is a musician).

It's quite simple; just say "Thank you for your time. I appreciate it."

Try to take a deep breath and continue breathing. Remember that whoever the celebrity is, he or she is a human just like yourself.

It is hard to get to know celebrities because they are very busy. But, perhaps you can ask them what their favorite food or city is in order to get to know them a little.

Look up how to say "picture" in whatever language they speak, and use that word when you ask them. They'll understand what you mean.

Ask for whichever is most important to you first, then politely ask for the second thing.

Just smile and hold out whatever you want signed. They sign lots of autographs and they will understand what you want.

If you have a crush, this can cause you to become very nervous or shy if you want to ask for their autograph or picture. Try to just think of the celebrity as a normal person. Act towards them as you would act towards someone that you respect or admire. And, if you are really shy, maybe you can get your friend to ask the celebrity for their autograph or picture.

Send them a fan letter and request an autographed photo. If you include a self-addressed stamped envelope, you will be more likely to get a response. Ask an adult for help finding the right address for your celebrity.

Simply ask him or her, "Can I have your autograph?" You can explain that you want to be a pilot when you grow up if you're asked.

Start off slow by asking them how they're doing or stuff like that. Ask them about their hobbies, because if you ask deeper questions right away they might feel overwhelmed.

Politely decline and tell them that you are in a rush.

Go to many of their games. Chances are, if you only go to one, you might not get an autograph. Wait until the game is over.

Wear nice, but not over the top clothing. Remember, celebrities are people too, so just wear something you would wear on a normal outing.

Just ask them and be very polite.

If I were you I wouldn't do it. Asking someone for a strand of hair is quite strange especially to a celebrity. If you really must get that strand of hair try looking for loose hair on this coat shirt, bags, etc.

Usually the artists will be present sitting at a table or something similar and fans will line up to talk to them briefly and get an autograph.

Use Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms to keep in contact with the musicians.

That's really up to the celebrity. They will often welcome the chance to meet fans and pose for photos.
