カイリー・ミノーグ

omg! your 1st pic reminds me of Madarame from Genshiken! xDDDDD

Wow Danny, you have changed quite a bit! I have to say you've been quite blessed with good fortune in your life, at least after leaving UK? Because you said you lived in some town that was the pits, whose name escapes me right now?

Lot of great pictures, I imagine you must of felt pretty nostalgic after going through all these things.

I envy you.

DANG!! Danny thats awesome man :)

wow...I so far has 0 pictures with celebrities...

sweet pics Danny!
love the nike pumps in pic 3!

Wow Danny-san, it's quite interesting to see the way you dress during 80's - 90's. You didn't seem to wear black often back then. ^^

dagnabit Danny, you're quite the ladies man there charming supermodels and actresses. reading about this post, i start wondering if the person i was 10 years ago would like the person i am today. funny how your hobbies and interests in life can change through the years.

longest i ever went without the internet was 40 days (i actually counted) when I was in the mountains in southern Phils. I think by the end of that ordeal i was ready to bash my head with a rock.

Wow, you sure change a lot ^^ That's like what my Hairstyle was when I was still 5 years old XD

Well, no offense to you Danny, but the first thing that caught my attention straight when looking at those photos is your "Red" specs :p Really unique XD

But you really lucky to get to know those celebrities ^^

teenager danny!
Your first and second photo remind me of my cousin, same glasses and haircut. lol

You must have had good connections. The only photos I have with celebs is from Madame Tussauds.
Longest time offline was about a week during summer, I couldn't stand it in the last 2 or 3 days.

Hehe, Great pictures Danny! ^^

LOLOLOLOLOL

*points*

BOWL CUUUUUUUUUUUUT!!!!!!!!!!

haha! Danny you still have the same grin! Claudia Schiffer <3!

すげぇ〜！
うらやますぃ〜（笑

Danny so young! I barely remember the days when I watched Kylie in Neighbours, but she was damn popular back then.

Internet is MY LIFE.

I'm diggin the red glasses danny! :D

Longest I went without broadband was last summer during an upgrade in my area, It was 3 days offline but I was boosted from 2mb to an 8mb line a week later after the upgrade so that made up for it :)

My gosh, indeed, it's all about who you know Danny. I can't even imagine myself 'haning out' with Kylie like that.
About the internet, about 2-3 weeks when I'm on holiday. In the early days of the net, that didn't really matter, but now it means catching up with 3 weeks of news and downloads! Sweating already...

Oh man Danny, thats pretty amazing. I have no idea how'd you get around to meeting the "right people". Or how much it'd cost to be a groupie.

Some fancy friends you've got there Danny. And nice glasses. I was amused at the fateful irony that in one picture, you appear to be wearing a shirt that says "blogg" on it. A shadow of your future self as blog king?

As for the internet... it is indeed vast and infinite. Certainly wouldn't want to live without it, unless there were no other option. Certainly don't like being away from it for long, either. I look forward to a Ghost-in-the-Shell-like Net to which I can be connected at all times, constantly part of the grand flow of information, communication, and interconnection.

... That, and have a sexy super-strong cyborg body.

OMG you knew alot of famous people.... I never had any idea...

And whoaaaa Kylie is tiny.... tinier than I thought.... Your mega-lucky to have met her, and Milla, Danni etc.

wow.. Danny get yourself some red glasses next time!

Wow, Dannii und Danny.^^
Great pictures!

Wow Danny, I see how you got where you are now... persistence. XD

I wonder if Kylie knew she was taking pics with her stalker... ROFL sorry, just kidding.

Anyways, nice stuff! Kinda jealous I won't have this many stories to tell my grandkids...

OMG danny its a drastic contrast if u would to put ur current pic beside these pics of you. It seems ur wife had taken good care of you and your diet XD.

Wow, Danny, that's pretty amazing... I didn't know anyone that actually wore red framed glasses!! XP

Seriously, you got really close to a lot of beautiful celebrities! I wonder if they let fans get that close nowadays?

Do you still keep in contact with any of these idols?

Hehe, is that an undercut hairstyle I see in the last pic? I'm surprised you didn't get a flat top in there some where during your early years 2, or weren't you a fan of Top Gun or Bros like I was?!?

Wow Danny. You met quite a few famous people back then and nice collection of photos ^^

Your look is totally different though ^^

I can't live without internet basically

Wow, Danny. You've really been living the dreams. Hanging out with celebs in the 80s/90s and now hanging out with idols in Japan O_o
I'd like to be you for a day if I could choose just one person to switch places with.
How about making a guide for how you can gain contacts like that? Like, how *you* did it?

Is it me, or is that a mischievous smile I see in the first picture?
^_^

*Turning green...........in envy*

Danny YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
looks like you were making it big back in the old days as well.

and as for longest time off the net. i guess about a day or two. any longer and i will go mad.

JEEBUS!!
Danny's Stalking-fu is super.

On the questionaire, i can barely live 4days without internets. been there, felt that..

you met any of them lately?

Wow! Amazing article! Looks like you had a great time back then.
I must have my daily amount of Internet or else I'll get pissed... ^^ Can't imagine 2 weeks without it...

Your first picture reminded me of Densha Otoko! Haha. Like the typical Otaku dressing in the dorama.

Wow, your teenage years were quite interesting huh. I didn't have the perseverance to go hunt celebrities. Anyhow my interests are strong but short-lived.

I like Kirsten Dunst! (:

I can be without internet for over a month. So your hobby was celebrity hunting? ;O

When seeing those pictures I feel that celebrities were more relaxed, more natural. Now they must be completely inaccessible in their private life, more or less due to paparazzi.

It would have been fun if you could meet the Minogue sisters again as well as some others you met in the past, just for the fun of it (under other circumstances, since you've become famous yourself!) but I guess it is simply impossible.

Oh and special mention for the glasses. *laughs* We really had to bear with crazy designs back then.

Kylie looks great in your pic with her even without tons of makeup on. I'm amazed at how gorgeous she still is actually.

very retro. very 80s. ^^;
love the red glasses as well.

the longest period i have been through without the internet is 3 weeks. that was when i was conscripted into the army. 3 weeks on a godforsaken island with a room full of bald young men from all walk of life. ^^;

i spent my childhood without the interent. my teenage hood with 56k modem and my adulthood with 1MB boardband.

off internet mainly in summer vacation

Wow, Danny, you certainly look, er, interesting back then. ^^

But what's more amazing is you actually get to meet Kylie Minogue. :0

How'd you manage to visit the BBC studios? Do you know someone who works there? I remember my cousin visiting that place before since we have an uncle that works on the set of "Casualty".

It seems you were really popular with the ladies, danny. That's great.

Interesting to see how you looked back then. You really did look like Madarame. XD

WOW! 1 of the thing I notice from all the photo are, Danny you have a great smile, it's an Icon that simply symbolize you ;-)

Danny, I thought you were a nerd before but damn... 80s style!

You met alot of famous people in your days Danny!

Amazing Danny, a real hardcore fan ^^

i like your signature head tilt!

wow nice collection of pics with cool celebrities... i like mostly the part with Milla Jovovich i bet she was teen by that time really envy you ^,..,^

Danny u always are a big surprise!

Thank you a lot for the pics.

G.

DC ! you are my role model !

Whoa danny? its dat you? With some celebrity specially kyle and some other
stars? Nice i miss some songs in 80's. Do you have a picture w/ Micheal jackson? He he (>O<)

LOL you're amazing Danny! You've met up with so many celebrities! You've been living a very interesting life Danny, mine's dull and boring...

Gotta love fashion from the 80s and 90s! And nice glasses you've got I used to have that type of glasses too... Lost them somewhere...

We need MOAR pics! Post MOAR pics!

just one word....wow

lol

/ME IS JEALOUS !

daamn danny. You got the always awesome "中分" hairstyle going, the tight, ankle high jeans, pumps, tucked shirt, plastic (circular!) frame glasses. Very nice =p. Just between you and me though, lets hope that 80's fashion never makes a comeback. Ever..

And wow, you knew a lot of famous people. Some before their prime too i think? Crazy cool =)

mi jealous.....Milla Jovovich.....

i'm jealous by not having any celeb with me in the photo...

tho i never like/idolize any celebrity or such, i idolize my father

Danny we know now and the Danny before.....
They are like Night and Day!!!!!
Today Danny: A HARDCORE OTAKU!!!!!
Before Danny: LOVES Kylie Minogue!!!!!

Wow Danny. You look REALLY HAPPY in some of those pictures haha. Thanks for sharing your good times. That's awesome you know such celebrities when you were younger.

Awesome pictures, I love your smile. ^^

Pretty sweet that you have met some of those people.

Good job Danny. A litle jealous you got to meet Mila .

Waaa...! luckiest fan ever ^^ And now you have a fandom of your own.

Longest time offline was quite a long time... i'm not too big of an internet person. :/ Not a good thing, since it raises skepticism on the 'nets, so i feel obligated to check back regularly.

On that pic with Milla Jovovich you look like the happiest man on earth! btw plans for The Early Years 3 featuring inline-skating Danny with a bunch of roses?

Wow Danny, I'm jealous, heh. Lots of cute girls. And it seems to just get better in the present times, huh.

The only actor I have a picture with is Kevin Sorbo. The guy is really THAT tall, heh. I'll post the pic when i have a chance.

Claudia Schiffer... Nuf said.

I didn't even know aobut Kylie minogue before you posted about her, but Milla... I hate u -_- .

The longest non-internet period I been through was a whole day (the worst day in my life).

I once met with some famous people. I think the point was that I hardly knew who they were but somebody wanted to make fun of me and told me to get them to come to our place. Not knowing what I was doing I just walked right up to them and invited them. Surprisingly they accepted and one particular guy ran off when we returned XD
I realized that they were somebody so now I have a picture of me sitting with them (and nobody else) with autographs. Didn't fully realize how big it was until they were on the news a few weeks later because they turned out to be the most famous standup comedians in the country or something like that.

Danny it's great to see you talk about your father here finally. I'm sure you had your reasons for not doing it before, like when you talked about how you wanted to make it on your own with 2 suitcases and so-and-so amount of money, that's one of the inspirational things about you and probably why you have so many people looking up to you.
I look up to you even though i'm older than you. You have done great things with your life and seem to enjoy sharing your methods of success with us bunch of dorks. Well done mate. :)

If a Kylie Minogue-stalking-otaku-looking chap like yourself can make it, maybe we can too. ;)

Oh yeah, just think, if you had married Danni Minogue, then she would now be been Danni Choo. LOL

I had one of those pump pump shoes!!!! Mine was blue. It is so fun to see it again.

Danny, one word - AWESOME !

Yeah, 14 years for me being on the internet. I started on Windows 3.11 on a 14.4k modem and still have the AOL 1.3 floppy! Has the same address for ten years for my personal email and will not change! I have tried to put a website up ten years ago but I did not work on it and it died.
I wish I knew people but I don't. I soo wished I did.

90s, never had internet till somewhere like 1998~99. When we had the net, I never really used it, not even the computer. Now, I stick to the computer everyday since theres nothing to do T_T

I like the net, I can message people an d stuff as well as watch stuff. Otherwise, with no internetz, I'd be biking, skating, blading, footy or movies >.> I would even play a instrument. What a change...

wow, with those glasses, u look more like an Elton John fan! lol

Longest time in when I had no internet is nearly 10 months (that was last year before I got rid of the DSL and made the transition to internet cable) and another time for nearly 5 months. (like 4 years ago)

By the way, nice pics Danny. Gotta love the 80s. ;)

I was offline a couple of days when our ISP had some serious trouble.

Oh god I never want to go through that again.

You luck SOB! You got to take many pictures with Kylie and Danni. I HATE YOU!

wow....talking about a total makeover ^_^ . danny surely did changed alot these past few years .

OMG Your glasses... total win at the 80's! And someone need to ask Kio Shimoku if Danny was the inspiration for Madarame. They're like twins. LOL

Wow. I know how looking back at those photos is a strange, yet familiar feeling.

I'm not that big into idols- I got myself and it is hard for me to understand how others chase after people and revolve their lives around idols and celebrities. Not that there is anything wrong with liking celebrities or idols- it is a hobby to me, but in many cases a passion for those that love it, and I recognize that.

Maybe it is because of all the crud that is published here in the tabloids that turns me off to reading it. It may also be that I don't like the attitudes of many American celebrities, but I am sure that it is a completely different story in Japan.

More than likely, I like focusing on my own life rather than that of someone else that is famous. That's just me, but I wouldn't pass up a free opportunity to meet one, either.

I have met many famous folks, especially ones I never expected to meet. I have met Leo Leporte and Patrick (can't remember his last name, but they were the former Tech TV hosts which is now referred to as G4 TV),

as well as a famous rapper (I HATE rap, and this was odd because I was in an elevator and said "you look familiar, are you a rap artist? he said yeah, I shook his hand, said Hi, and really didn't bother him too much- I guess he really appreciated it. He was a really nice guy- but really short. His body guards looked like they could eat me whole, they were HUGE. I was staying at a hotel, and he just happened to pick the same one. As the elevator door opened, I nearly got pummeled by girls screaming their hormonally challenged and driven bodies at me by running towards the elevator. I thought he was just a rapper, and later learned that he was a big name.

I have also met the former president of the United States very briefly- I also got to shake hands and chat briefly with one of the crew of the Enola Gay. You meet interesting people- and I find it odd that people would KILL for my opportunities, yet when I am not searching I happen to run into rather famous specimen.

Dude, those red-framed glasses.

the longest i've gone offline was a three days. i was so busy with work that by the time i got home i'm too plastered to go online. the internet has now become an integral part of me. i guess it has become like a body part. without it i'm handicapped. :)

by the way, love your red-framed glasses. ;)

Man, you got to put your arms around so many famous people! Much envy ^_^. Those red frame glasses are so pwn

OMG haha I love your old glasses! You had style back then. ;)

wow that hairstyle should be in the history book! hehe

I realised you like to hug tightly while taking pictures... ya?

Lots of amazing photos with popular people! I took pictures with various mangakas, voice actors/actresses, artists and etc from anime conventions but none with real star like above ^^;

dude! you had reebok pumps. now that is awesome.

Looks like you had a lot of celebrity "girlfriends", Danny. 羨ましい～ O|￣|＿

He,he, this article should be renamed 'The adventures of Danny Choo and friends". ^^

Anyways, I am a person who trust books more than the internet, so I tend to go to the library when I'm in doubt. Sure it may be a hassle, but it's very assuring that your source is tangible.

BRILLIANT pics Danny and props to you for getting that close to some celebs i really rate.

that music is terrible
that dresses (girl dress) are terrible!
that hairdress are terrible
all in the 80's was terrible!
I'm 32, and i think that most of things in the 80's was pure おなら

That's truly interesting, pretty nice!!, it's so cool to take photos with celebrities, Damn, and you took a photo with Milla Jovovich... you're cool, man!...or should i say, you're THE Man!

HAHAHA! Wow. I forgotten how silly clothings were in the 80s.

*thumbs up* for courage to post those photos.. lol!

I can never get such courage to put up my photos, be it old or current.. oh man.. haha

those are funky glasses!

The longest time that I've been offline would be 48 hrs. If 24 hrs. of net deprivation gives me some withdrawal syndromes, what more for 48 hrs.? XDDD

omagad so 80's ... and your haircut reminds me mah childhood ^^

ha ha ha...groupie

Nice past time. I'm never a fan who will go follow a star whereever he/she goes. I wonder if I can ever get into something that much. I see Miharu in me.

Maybe I've missed it or the difference is quite profound but, I can't see a difference between the 'old' Danny and new 'Danny XD

The red spectacle frame looks really cool, you're quite fortunate to have met Kylie; I'm happy to know that you had such an opportunity.

The longest I've been without internet was about a month.. it was manageable but, I'd prefer to have internet around >.<

Danny's hands have seen the world.

Haha great article and cool pics :)

Never really seen anyone who was that much into chasing celebrities.

But did it ever occur to you that maybe the bodyguard seriously wanted to get away from you and didn't drive away fast just to play with you? :)

Wow danny those are some styling glasses man talk about back in the day. Thanx for sharing!

Even though it's so long ago, I still have to say, an arm around Kylie Minogue, nice!

You Danny are AWESOME! Not only did you get a picture with Kylie but you got one with your arm around her. Wow. *envy* hahah

Love the 1st pic. I still think Kylie is @ her best in her early years.

Btw, do you still have those red framed glasses? heheh. That's the very first thing I noticed when I looked at these pics.

OMG! Kylie & Jason were my idols back in the 80s! And you have Claudia beside you! You are such a lucky dude! *wink*

Yeah its so true. I can live wihtout TV now but no internet? Don't think I'll last 2 secs. LOL.

Danny actually looks like the Minouge sisters' chummy buddy!

Never did do the rollerskates but I applaud Danny-san's perseverence... ^^

I love learning about this side of you Danny! I personally would try to hide my past.

Wow Danny, I really envy you!

Kylie looks oddly akin to Miss Asuka Soryuu Langley in that first pic, imo. =P And oh man, I remember Reebok Pump shoes! The height of early 90's fashion!

although i voted 1-2 weeks.. by the time i get back, i walk into the house, walk upstairs, and go on the computer, no unpacking no nothing

I never knew who Kylie Minogue was until she starred in that horrible live action Street Fighter movie. I heard a couple of her dance songs though, which I liked.

Milla Jovovich looks young. When was that?

Leeloo-Dallas-Multipass!

wow that's awesome!

you have a great life danny!

i don't know much -_- hide in corner

OMG! you're a veeeeeeeeeeery lucky guy Danny... I should be so lucky! Damm, well, you know, Kylie's my absolutely number one female singer since I can remember and I would kill just to be with her for a moment, I mean, to have the experience of that magical moment.
And those photos with Danni, when she was younger, less sexy than now but more beautiful, are great, let me tell you, you have greats mementos there.
And I'm not gonna say nothing about Milla, damm you lucky guy ^^.

You're living the good life...you look like a pure otaku alright lol your fashion sure has changed though.

those glasses are fire danny

One week without teh internetz and I almost killed myself @_@

Btw very interesting life you live there Danny. I can't help but think how many things you have done/been

Danny it seem to me that you and your group were having fun. I wonder if they remeber you now.

LOL nice pic dan, when u wear old fashion glassy eyes he2. but nice as weel.. pardon what u age Dany?

Man, I just said it, but dude, you have had a pretty lucked out life. (I hope ^^)
You met with pretty awesome celebrities, and were able to get close without having to get arrested.

The Kylie and Dani Minogue photos were awesome, so was the Milla Jonovich one!!

Aw man, do you still keep in touch with them, or is that one phase of your life that is done?

Those years were transitory. from the turbo era, to the Williams-Renault years. u didn't even notice Nigel Mansell or even Damon Hill in Silverstone, out in Northamptonshire

HeHe, nice glasses. Is that a pair of Reebok Pump on your feet, Danny? Those take me back, everyone wanted a pair at the time but I don't think I ever got any. I use to love pumping them up. ^_^

Yep you are def English with your love of Singing Budgie and Neighbours. Thanks god I don't get that here in the USA. One thing I don't miss from Australia

damn.... lucky!

you rock so much! and those glasses are just pure gold! hahaha!

Wow! Are you still in contact with them?

Young Danny Choo! Thank you for sharing your photos.

2-3days w/o internet max for me.

And WOW KYLIE!!!! Your a lucky guy!! huhuhu

I'd imagine these days you'd have to battle with the papparazzi to get anywhere near stars of that calibre...

Love the kicks(shoes) that danny is rocking in the 3rd pic.

Cool stuff man. Although Kylie doesn't look too happy in the first piccie. In saying that, I'm still jealous of you. ^_^

Of course, Choo-san didn't realise about this guy:
http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/21420/Ayrton+Senna.html
Up until one of his favourites alongside Nishida Hikaru and Kylie Minogue. Damon Hill was battling against Michael Schumacher in the 1994 championship, and in Silverstone, back in his native country, Schumacher, leading the championship, was banned for 2 races for simply ignoring the black flag. But in the end, all the opposite!

danny looked so geeky back then! :) late bloomer i suppose. sorry but i just couldn't resist, stalker-san! lol!
