Should I use sonkeigo if I meet a celebrity?


Yesterday I met a very famous Japanese person. I panicked and asked him,
「写真をとってもよろしいでしょうか」

Was this correct? Or was this too polite and kind of strange?




Assuming you met him privately, yes that was correct. 写真撮ってもいいですか is usually
acceptable (especially if you are young), but 写真を撮ってもよろしいでしょうか is never overly
polite nor strange.
