Sam Riley in Berlin Airport this weekend.

So, in a plane full of schoolgirls (let's assume 6th form) you cornered Sam Riley?

Nice one mate

Did you have an extra Vikings badge to give him?

Nice Story. You met him at the baggage carousel? Why did you have to bring so many suitcases with you for only two days?

I just had a man-bag!

You got a thing about man bags. Did this one have red wine stains on it?

Me and JG flew to Berlin airport first thing Friday morning.

Sat on the plane and JG goes, "I'm sure Sam Riley's just walked past."

I said dismissively, "Yeah, of course he ha-" and then cut the sentence short when I looked back down the plane and saw said Mr Riley sticking his bag in an overhead locker.

Ended up chatting to him by the barrage carousel in Berlin. Turns out no one had ever gone up to him before and said, "Aren't you Sam Riley?" and then a German journalist did the same whilst we were chatting to him and Sam goes, "Twice in three minutes - this has never happened to me before." JG said summat like, "Well, this is the big time for you now," and Sam replied "I can still fcuk it up yet!"

Not much I can say really. Had a chat about the film, and the real-life characters portrayed in the movie that he'd also met. He came across as a really sound, level-headed lad and dead genuine with it. Will go far ...

Shame for him though: plane was full of schoolgirls ... and the only people who think of cornering him are me and JG!

German Journalist confirms the story in the Tagesspiegel:

Der Flug aus London-Stansted ist gelandet. Ein Mann, Mitte zwanzig, steht am Gepäckband. Er könnte einer von vielen jungen Briten sein, die ein paar Tage in Berlin verbringen wollen, der Stadt mit der außergewöhnlichen Geschichte und der spannenden Partyszene. Zwei englische Mitreisende sprechen ihn an. Bandnamen wie „Joy Division“ und „New Order“ sind zu hören. Bald wird klar: Der Mann ist der Schauspieler Sam Riley. „Das ist das erste Mal, dass mir das passiert ist“, sagt er später. „So von fremden Leuten angesprochen zu werden.“ Am Tag zuvor lief in London sein erster großer Film an.

The journo had obviously been ear-wigging our chat!.

He writes: Two Co-Travellers speaks to him. Band names as "Joy Division" and "New Order" are to hear. Soon is clear: The man is actor Sam Riley.
