Whenever I notarize someone who is extremely well-known, I make an effort not to act "star struck". Famous people tend to have especially hectic, demanding schedules, and others frequently want to stop them, talk to them, ask for an autograph or photograph, etc.
Although they are used to that sort of reaction, I try to keep things low-key. I don't gush over them (even though I may want to!). Because of their busy schedules, I typically try to notarize them as quickly and smoothly as possible so that they can get on with the rigorous demands and responsibilities that come with their status and position.
This doesn't mean that I don't talk with them during the notarization. Celebrities are every bit as nice and friendly and easy to talk to as the rest of us (often even more so!). But I do try to treat them like "regular people" by conversing with them in much the same manner as I would anyone else.
So when you have the privilege of notarizing someone famous, do them a favor and keep your cool. Maybe they'll appreciate it, or maybe they won't even notice it. But at least you'll know that you went out of your way to help make their hectic day a little less taxing for them. And as a bonus, you got to meet them, get their autograph (in your notary journal, of course), and get paid for it in the process. That's a pretty nice gig for you!
