Q&A for How to Contact Famous Celebrities

Tell the famous person who much you enjoy their work. You can also mention something specific they did that you really liked, such as their latest book, a certain role in a film, a particular song, etc. Lastly, you could tell the person how much they (or their work) has inspired you. Keep the message brief, and do not get too personal.

Just be yourself. Act as if you are their friend. Don't show that you're nervous or they most likely will make up an excuse or not show any interest because they find other people's nerves awkward and too much hard work. Most of all, ask them questions, to get them to talk about themselves.

If you find a celebrity's phone, you can try tagging them in a tweet or other social media post to inform them you have it and wish to return it. If the phone is unlocked, you might also call someone from their contacts. Remember to respect their privacy by not accessing any personal information on the device.

If you included a return address on the envelope, the letter may be returned to you. It may also be forwarded to the celebrity's new address.

Look at news articles to see whether you can find out their personal assistant contact details. Or, check their accounts on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, etc.

Listen to radio stations in the genre for an opportunity to win free tickets. You can check sites like Groupon to see if you can find them at a discount, or keep an eye on Craigslist for people selling theirs, but in the latter case, be careful of people selling counterfeit tickets.

The best way to do this is to go to an event the celebrity is going to attend. You could also write them a fan mail letter and give a phone number/email address/social media profile so you could arrange to meet up.

Many celebrities organize meet-and-greets, often before or after a concert or other scheduled appearance. This is a great way to meet celebrities!

You can ask them for advice on how to start out, this way you express admiration for their wisdom and open a door to a beneficial relationship. By the way, most of the reachable celebrities don't have anything to do with casting, and the best you can get from them is some names and agents or maybe an opportunity to audition. But they're almost useless when you have a script or want to direct.

It is rare for celebrities to personally respond to every letter you send. They typically receive a very high volume of fan mail, making individual responses impractical.

Sometimes they reply, sometimes they don't. Oftentimes, celebrities' social media accounts are handled by an assistant. The best chance for a reply is to make your post compelling, unique, and interesting.

You write a letter on paper, take a photo of it on Snapchat, and then send it to the celebrity.

You might find a celebrity's email address in their official social media bios (like Twitter or Instagram) or on their official website's 'Contact' section.

If you're nervous, you could write the letter yourself and then ask someone else to send it for you.
