Whenever you come across a celeb, be it at an event or in Tesco, we always try and pluck up the courage to ask for an autograph or a picture with them, and 36-year-old Jason Thanos is no exception. Well… apart from the fact that he has spent a whopping £150,000 collecting the autographs of his favourite stars.

The Ex-travel agent from Manchester has been globe trotting for the past 13 years in search of the worlds biggest A-listers and so far has 20,000 signatures including the late Michael Jackson, Muhammed Ali and Bono.

Jason told reporters “I’m known all over the world as the guy who only goes for the A list and gets the best autographs”.

And get the best he does, other signatures he owns include those of Slyvester Stallone, Brit comedian Ricky Gervais, Pamela Anderson and Angelina Jolie who he credits as being the nicest person he’s ever met.

“It gives me a lot of adrenaline and excitement travelling the world seeing all these famous faces.” He revealed.

The dad of one started his pricey hobby after meeting celebs at a rock venue he had opened. Jason, is now set to have a US television show made about his experiences as an autograph hunter. He is also now working at a full time business where he sells his famous signatures.
