People are sharing glorious stories of times they bumped into celebrities in public
Some heartwarming, some... less so
Celebrities: they’re just like us, aren’t they? I mean, aside from their endless millions, glittering careers, a multitude of awards, the teams of people whose express purpose in life is to make them look as attractive as possible: there’s not much difference between you and George Clooney, really.
Okay, so maybe there are a few things that set them apart. BUT: they sometimes still have to leave the house and do menial chores like the rest of us. And in this thread, Reddit users are sharing the times they bumped into celebrities in public. And most of the stories are completely delightful.
1. Shaquille O’Neal
2. Terry Crews
3. Jean Claude Van Damme
Others were charmingly banal.
4. Steve Wozniak
5. Alexander Skarsgård
6. Scarlett Johansson
7. Ray Romano
8. Liev Schreiber
Some of them were… less good.
9. Owen Wilson
10. Chloe Sevigny
11. The Undertaker
And then there’s… this.
12. Rachael Ray
Yeah, us neither.
