15 Celebrity Encounter Stories That Are Awkward, Funny, And Just Plain Wild
Gerard Butler tells you your face is beautiful...What do you do?
Encountering a celebrity in real life can be a perplexing experience. Some might equate it to seeing a dog walking on its hind legs, or a pig wearing lipstick. It's just...bizarre.
But alas, celebrities are only human, so it makes sense that us common folk might cross paths with them from time to time. TikTok user @katiefornia shared a story about seeing Kevin Jonas on an airplane a couple days before the Jonas Brothers announced they were breaking up:
@katiefornia also I was very much a Kevin girl. #celebrity #kevinjonas #jonasbrothers #lax #broadway #theatre #HappyHolidays #music #nickjonas #joejonas

She then asked users to share their wildest stories about seeing a celebrity out in public, and people brought the HEAT:
