30 Times People Met Someone Famous And Didn't Even Realize Or Care This happened yesterday! My wife took my son to the zoo, and he wanted to read every little plaque in the reptile area. My wife was distracted for a moment, so he asked the nearest stranger to read the plaque for him. My wife turned around to see Scarlett Johansson happily reading the info to him.

30 Times People Met Someone Famous And Didn't Even Realize Or Care My mom is a big sports fan. One time she was shopping at and saw a really large, fit looking man who she didn't immediately recognize but seemed familiar. She thought it must of been a professional football player or something, so she went up to the only other person in the shop, who was this smaller wierd-looking guy, and asked him if he knew who the athletic looking man was. The short guy looked at my mom and said "That's my bodyguard, I'm Elton John."

30 Times People Met Someone Famous And Didn't Even Realize Or Care I used to be a server at a Mexican restaurant right outside LA in the late 90s. One day Leonardo DiCaprio came in with who I assume was his mom to have lunch. This would've been post Titanic so really at the peak of his breakthrough mega celeb status. He was wearing a ball cap, sunglasses and unshaven but I recognized him anyway. I didn't let anyone know and I wrote something like "your movies are awesome, I hope you liked our food" on his receipt when I dropped it off at the table.

After he left, I swung by and picked up his payment and he had left me a note back that said "thank you so much for not blowing my cover" with a $100 tip. S**t was awesome I was only like 19, I went and got some Playstation games with it after my shift ended.

One morning I got up early to come with him, and to my surprise, we met up with Sigourney Weaver and went for a walk.

30 Times People Met Someone Famous And Didn't Even Realize Or Care I helped Steven Spielberg move his daughter's bags into her college dorm.

I was working a shift helping first-years move in and I see a guy in a hat and sunglasses who is unmistakably Spielberg. I strike up a conversation, ask if he needs help with the bags, etc. First names only -- "We're from CA. My wife, Kate, and I sent all our kids to East Coast schools though." Stuff like that.
Later, when his daughter opened the door for the first time, he whipped out a camcorder and, wearing the biggest Dad grin, recorded the whole thing before turning the camera on my friend and me to ask us about the city.
So, I have a supporting (the luggage), speaking role in a limited release (home movie) film shot by Steven Spielberg.

30 Times People Met Someone Famous And Didn't Even Realize Or Care I was in a book store in RI and was in the horror section. Picked up a book by Stephen King, and flipped it over and saw his picture on the back (or inside the cover, I don't really remember).

I look up, and in the next aisle over, right across the book shelf from me, is a guy that looks exactly like Stephen King. So I hold up the book and say "is this you?"

"Yeah."

"Good books"

"Thanks"

30 Times People Met Someone Famous And Didn't Even Realize Or Care I was 10 years old in 2002 when my mom took me to the Bronx Zoo for the first time. It was a rainy day so we practically had the whole place to ourselves except for 3 British kids running around, chaperoned by a woman. My mom quickly befriended the woman while I made like a kid and joined the hoard, looking at spiders and scorpians and sharing in the awe and excitement of the animals.

After about an hour when we said our goodbyes, my mother told me that the kid, Daniel, who I had been hanging out with had played Harry Potter in the movie that came out last year.

I had thought he looked familiar.

I've served Daniel Radcliffe in bar I was working at in Lake District (him and two stunt doubles) when they were recording second to last Harry Potter movie in Scotland. I didn't expect him to be this short, bar was quite high and before I've recognised him I was thinking to ask him for id if he orders anything alcoholic, but they all had diet coke with their meals. My gf's daughters were obsessed with the books and movies and I've rang her, she came down with girls and he sat with them for like half an hour talking, nice guy. One of the waiters kept his glass with his fingerprints as a souvenir, we got his autograph for kids.

30 Times People Met Someone Famous And Didn't Even Realize Or Care My friend's mom (over 70yrs old) owns a small asian grocery store. Post Malone came walking in with his girlfriend and his mom had no idea who he was. A few cute things happened:

1. She was nervous because of his tattoos, but happy/not worried once he bought a lot of food. She had no idea he was a celebrity.

2. She gave him a free snack for buying so much food and told him to come back for lunchtime for cheap and tasty gyoza (he did come back the next day!)

3. She was worried he would get mugged going to his car because of 3 big men outside so she followed him outside (they were his bodyguards)

4. She really liked his "cool car" (it was a lamborghini)

She told my friend about the encounter that evening and he pulled up a youtube video based on the description - it was him. When Post Malone came back the next day for Gyoza she got a selfie with him (it's on my friends phone so I don't have the picture available right now). Whole thing is adorable with how innocent his mom is.

Normally, my father would never say anything but for some reason felt compelled to introduce himself. He stuck out his hand and said, "Shaq, it's nice to meet ya." He immediately realized he messed up and the guy responded, "I'm Magic Johnson but it's nice to meet you too." The secondhand embarrassment is real.

He proceeds to tell me how he loves my ring and has been looking for one just like it and asks me where I got it. I tell him it was my grandfather's and he asks to see it up close.

30 Times People Met Someone Famous And Didn't Even Realize Or Care The Rock was at the Gold Coast, Australia to film San Andreas. He came into the place where I worked in Surfers Paradise with a woman and a young child. He was kind-of in disguise, had his head covered and had something partially obscuring his chin.

I served them and didn't recognize him at first. The woman handled the talking, and he just kind of hung back quietly. I looked at him once, and probably wouldn't have given him a second thought, but his eyes widened for that split second (possibly he was wondering if I'd recognized him and was about to cause a scene, it was a packed centre) and it just clicked in my head to connect the eyes with the news of the Rock being in town.

Once I made the connection, it was totally obvious who he was, and since I was still looking at him, I could tell by now he knew he'd been spotted.

Then I just wished the group enjoy their day and half-smiled at him, and he gave me a nod, and they went about their business.

I didn't tell anyone at work, because I didn't want the dude to get swamped when he was trying to spend time with his family. I didn't tell anyone I knew, because it's really not that much of a story. In fact, this is the first I've ever shared this story with anyone.

Went to a basketball game with my dad and we stopped by the bar area in the arena first. The game had just started so it was pretty empty except for the bar itself. My dad goes to the restroom and I walk up to the bar to order a beer. There's only one seat at the bar next to a guy in a baseball cap and sunglasses. I politely ask if the seat is taken and he just says "nope, it's all you, man." We shoot the s**t for a couple minutes. He's sitting on my right and eventually he says he and his wife are going to go to their seats. He extends his hand and asks my name. I tell him and ask his name. He says, "Justin. Nice to meet you dude, have a good night."

He and his wife leave and the bartender comes up to me and says, "You know that was Justin Timberlake, right?"

I immediately did a double take and couldn't believe I didn't recognize him even with the hat and sunglasses. I told my girlfriend at the time who was a huge Justin Timberlake fan and she couldn't believe I met him without knowing it was him. She wouldn't let it go for like a month.

30 Times People Met Someone Famous And Didn't Even Realize Or Care I was at a test screening of the movie Valkyrie. Me and my friends were near the front of the theater talking before the movie started, and I went on this big, loud rant about how "normally I like Tom Cruise movies but War of the Worlds was such a piece of s**t, one of the worst movies I've ever seen, plot didn't make sense, they strung a bunch of cool scenes together and put a s**t happy ending on it and called it a day. " after I wrap up my 5 minute rant outlining everything wrong with War of the Worlds the person sitting behind us tapped me on the shoulder and point 4 seats down in my row to Tom Cruise glaring at me, I gave him the nod and sat there for what might have been the longest 10 minutes before a movie started ever.

Not quite what you were asking for but close enough for an excuse to tell that story.

TLDR: Didn't notice Tom Cruise was listening while I talked s**t about one of his movies.

30 Times People Met Someone Famous And Didn't Even Realize Or Care A couple of years ago me and my sister were at Comic-Con. You tend to see some a lot of famous people there, but it's usually with them in booths with guards and stuff (with the exception of Seth Green).

Anyway, me and my sister were at one of the booths waiting for their giveaways when a man suddenly came up beside me all excited and in a bit of wonder. He told us how great everything was there and how much of an experience it was for him there, all in a while I was probably looking at him strangely because of how familiar his accent and his voice and his face and his blond hair was. He asked where we got our poster tubes, and that's probably when I remembered who he was but decided to just not mention it because I was kind of still in disbelief and pointed him to one of the far off booths where they sell poster tubes.

The man was Owen Wilson. I hadn't been sure it was him, because I always thought he'd be a lot taller. It was kind of warming to see how excited he was to be there in the crowds.

Like it's scary how much he resembles him, to the point that during those stupid facebook challenges he just changed his profile picture to him and nobody realized it. Also his favorite story was one time at San Diego Comic Con he actually confused Rosario Dawson at a hotel bar.

Anyway one night I'm walking home from work in NYC, and I see who I thought was my friend, John just walking on a kind of secluded part of of 9th ave around Hells Kitchen, and I yell "JOHN!"

He doesn't turn around.

So I decide to yell it again, and instead of responding his pace quickens. I decide the best thing to do is to run at him which seemed to terrify him as keep in mind it's late and there are very few people around. Anyway I catch up to him and say "Oh, you're not John" and then walk away from what was a very frightened Ethan Hawke.

30 Times People Met Someone Famous And Didn't Even Realize Or Care Jared Leto. I work in an outdoor goods store in Boulder CO, which for those who don’t know is one of the biggest climbing towns in the US. He came into the store to get some stuff as he’s known to travel here and climb with other big pros, notably Alex Honald who is a buddy of his. He had been outted in the middle of the footwear department by a coworker on mine in front of a big group of customers so by the time he got over to the climbing area where I work he was really on edge and unfriendly. I walked up to him and honesty just acted like he wasn’t hot s**t. I acted like I didn’t really know who he was and just spoke to him like any other customer even breaking conversation with him at several points to answer questions for other folks as opposed to giving him my full undivided attention.

After about 5 minutes of that he totally relaxed and his entire demeanor changed. He went from being somewhat rude and cold to being very chill, calling me bro etc. and I ended up walking around the store with him for like 25-30 minutes helping him shop. The only time I implied I knew who he was was towards the end as I was ringing him up. He asked me to recommend some climbing spots close to town like the flatirons. It was a beautiful Saturday and I said to him that those places are great but he’ll get bombarded by people if he goes there and I recommended some spots just outside of town instead. He sorta leaned in and thanked me for my discretion and that was it. It seemed like he really just wanted to be treated like a normal guy.

Iirc, one of them says something to the effect of "not sure if you all care but you just beat Ben Affleck." Of course we all ask him to prove it, so he told us to wait a minute and visit his official website's message board (benaffleck.com or something like that). He had just made a post in red (red being Ben Affleck himself) about just losing a game of Starcraft.

We briefly chatted with him and that was it.

I've shared this story on Reddit before...I actually had no clue I was sitting next to a celebrity in an airport for about 90min.

People asked him for his picture. Some people asked me if I should be in the photo. I declined. The celebrity asked me to smile and play along if anyone else asked for a picture of us both.

At first I was confused, as time wore on I was a little embarrassed. He told me he was on TV and we chatted about where we were flying, what books we were reading etc... but I didn't want to ask who he was because it seemed rude.

After he left someone asked me how I knew him. I said I didn't. They told me he was Michael C. Hall from "Dexter"...saddest thing is I watched that show but didn't clue in.

I think about it and laugh...someone got a picture of me and Dexter and showed it to their friends trying to figure out who the other guy in the picture was.

30 Times People Met Someone Famous And Didn't Even Realize Or Care I met a celebrity but I didn’t realize who he was: I posted before in a thread buried in 10k comments. Doubt anyone saw it.

Years ago, like 20 years ago, I went to see Adam Sandler standup at a small comedy club. Clearly I knew who he was because I got tickets to his show. My date and I were running a smidge late and ran into a guy in the lobby. A guy I used to work with, so I was like, “Hey! Danny, how are you doing, what have you been up to?” He was like, “I’m good, how are you?” I responded that I was good, but running late for the show, had to run and he said, “ok, have a good night” and walked off. As my date and I walked into the club, he said, “you know who that was?”

It wasn’t Danny. It was Adam Sandler. But, gotta say, he played the part of Danny well. One of his better roles.

30 Times People Met Someone Famous And Didn't Even Realize Or Care I worked at a movie theater in Albuquerque at the time they we're filming the first avengers film. Captain America was about to come out, I remember because we had the huge standee of him in the lobby. I was reading in the box office when three people came up. Guy asked for 3 tickets to Bridesmaids. It was dark out and he had a green baseball cap and sunglasses. He paid with a credit card. Christopher Evans. I stared at the card after I swiped it. Handed it back. "I need you to sign the receipt" he did. And then he walked in.

Edit: thanks for all the comments guys. Just to add on. I didn't recognize the other two with him. One was a blonde woman and the other was a guy with buzzed hair and a six o'clock shadow. Also I only lived in ABQ for a year in 2010-2011

Samuel L. Jackson was on my flight. I was second to last to board the flight and there was all this commotion with the flight attendants and gate crew. Once I approached the door of the plane I realized they were all looking at Samuel L. Jackson. He was standing by the cockpit making himself available to passengers/fans. I played it cool. Didn’t say a word. Turns out, I’m shy around celebrities. I’m just glad I didn’t make a snakes on the plane joke.

30 Times People Met Someone Famous And Didn't Even Realize Or Care In the Mid 90's I was a cab driver. Our service was like a cross between a limo and a taxi, and we serviced some fancy resorts. As I dropped off my passenger at a resort, another guy asks if I'm a taxi, and I say yes, so he tells his friend their cab is here.

His friend got in the car and said "this ain't no cab, smells too good to be a cab" in that unmistakable Chris Rock voice.

He and his friend just bulls**tted with each other for the ~15 minute drive to a local night club. There was a white kid trying to talk to a yellow-cab driver ahead of us in the parking lot and Chris Rock started imitating the kid, like "I need a ride, yeah, I'm drunk, but I need a ride", and I was trying really hard not to laugh out loud.

He wasn't nearly as famous yet at the time, but I had seen his stand up routines on Comedy Central and knew exactly who he was, but didn't go fan-boy on him.

10/10 would drive Chris Rock again.

I didn't recognize her since I don't watch her show, but she did mention it to me multiple times during the flight. She wanted to apologize in advance in case there were fans hounding her at the baggage claim. Spoiler alert - there weren't.

Hours later when I was checking into my hotel, she was there in the lobby and made sure to tell me again that she was on TV.

I was on my way to a Rams game, back when they played in St. Louis. I was headed for the Metrolink station, in the middle of a crowd of people who were all wearing Rams gear, and clearly going the same place I was.

The station is right smack by Barnes-Jewish hospital, and we're walking by buildings that are part of the hospital complex or Wash U's medical campus. As I'm walking towards the stoop of a brownstone, I see someone step out, and react in surprise. I immediately recognized him as one of the team's defensive tackles, who was on IR at the time with a foot injury. He looked surprised to see the crowd, then worried, which I took to mean he was concerned he might get caught up by fans wanting to get autographs or take a photo.

Nobody recognized him. They just kept walking by. I was going right by the steps where he was standing, so I stepped to the side and said, "Hey man, if you go back in and take a right, you'll be able to go out the north door, and there'll be less people there." He nodded, said "Thanks", and headed back inside.

40 minutes later, and there he is on the sidelines, right in front of me.

Ashley Tisdale. I was her waiter...a 36 year old guy who was the furthest thing from her "target market". I didn't let on that I knew her cause I didn't know who she was. Took care of her and her date the whole time. A couple of times when I was explaining the menu and asking if she'd been there before she had a smirk on her face. Looking back I guess she was probably thinking "I guess this guy doesn't know who I am." Later that night I was watching TV and there she was. I was like WTF?! I just waited on that girl tonight!?

I'm with my mom. Behind me in the lift is an african lady with a really awesome hat made out of wound fabric, and a few really large guys in suits. As I got in my eyes must have gone big. Anyway we get out on our own floor, she's obviously still going up. I say to my mom, "WAS THAT???" and she says "Yep. Her lawyers are in this building." It was Winnie Mandela.

I was on a plane with Hooverphonic - they were sitting right behind me, I even borrowed a pen from them to fill out my customs document, and didn't recognize them for a second, even though I absolutely love their music! They looked like a bunch of regular (albeit creative) people, easy-going, not at all like the famous musicians they are. Only one person really recognised them once we had landed, and asked for an autograph. It was then that it clicked with my husband, but I was still totally onblivious. When he told me (outside of the airport) I couldn't believe that I had not recognised them.

Not me, but my sister's roommate's Mom. She came from a tiny town. This was in the late 80s. She was very nervous about visiting our "big city" with all the crime, etc. She treated herself to the best hotel in the city. She gets in the elevator and after her walks in a little guy and two very scary mobster-looking guys in suits with hard expressions. She was immediately fearful that some shooting was about to take place and stands by the buttons frozen like a deer. One of the big guys says, "Hit the floor" (meaning punch in the floor button). She takes it as "Hit the deck!" and immediately drops to the floor. So, Prince and his two bodyguards immediately fall around the place laughing. They paid for her room, I think. She said she had met some very nice young men. She had no idea who Prince was.

A very cute lady next to me wearing a big Feodora starts dancing and asks me to dance as well, I clumsily join, my turn comes, and as I finally relieve myself it hits me "She was that actress, that one!" I go back to my boyfriend to explain there was this famous blond actress we both like.

I don't have any stories of my own but I do have one my dad told me about. When he was younger, he used to live in California. He was going in to a building and just as he got in, he realized that someone had been behind him but he hadn't held the door for them so it shut in their face. It was Loni Anderson. The reason that story came up is because, at the time, I was absolutely obsessed with the 3 Ninjas series and would watch High Noon At Mega Mountain practically every time I turned on the TV.

As we finished the last of our ride and I was riding from the street onto the sidewalk, pulling our bike trailer with our luggage in it, and trying to stop the bike because of the added weight, I found myself headed for a man sitting on a bench by the hotel. Stopping the bike only inches from the man, I said something like, "sorry," then moved on. I looked back and realized that the man was Magic Johnson. It turns out he was there for a Fantasy Basketball camp, along with Jerry West and several other notable players of the day. This was during Magic's playing years.

Many years ago I decided to take an art class at night from Arlington County in Virginia. I set up next to an older guy because he looked polite and quiet and I really wanted to focus. We rarely talked but I did help him chase down some papers in the parking lot once. Anyway, after a few weeks the teacher took roll (because he had to account for how many people actually showed up). He said the name William Rehnquist and the older man said "here." I was a young lawyer and did not recognize the Chief Justice of the US. Later I read that he loved painting and always skipped State of the Union sessions when the justices traditionally go. He simply preferred to spend a free evening painting.

I went into my favorite bar years ago. My friend Magic Mike--programming director for a big rock & roll radio station--was already there, chatting with some friend of his, a guy named Pete. Mike waved me over, so I sat next to them, and Mike introduced me to Pete. Mike had to get up early the next day, so after about twenty minutes, he said good night and left, leaving me with Pete. We talked for about an hour and a half--nothing special; just ordinary conversation--and then Pete said that he had an early flight the next morning. We shook hands and he left without ceremony. As soon as he was out the door, about a dozen people came up to me, asking about Pete. I couldn't understand what all the fuss was about until somebody told me who it was. Turns out, I had been talking to Pete Townsend the whole time and didn't even know it.

How did Nimoy accidentally get in the tv? That’s pretty hard to do.

I imagine celebrities prefer when people don't know who they are. Genuine human interactions.

There was a Belgian film-director who was waving at me every time I saw him. He confused me with someone else. I just waved back every time.
