"It’s charisma that will usually tip you off as to who will make it big in the future. Who did everyone want to be around? Who had that undefinable X-factor? Those are the people most likely to be famous in the future," celebrity expert Mike explained to Bored Panda what the signs of someone who will probably go far in life are.

"Having talent simply isn’t enough. The most talented people in school may go on to make a living with that talent, but it’s unlikely to catapult them to stardom. Many people have talent, very, very few have star quality."

Hollywood's Ultimate Insider noted that there are a few major pitfalls that celebrities need to be aware of. "First, be careful of who you surround yourself with. Are those people in your life there to help and support you? Or are they just latching on to your fame for the ride and excitement of it all? Even worse, are they there taking advantage of you?" he warned.

"Second, focus on the work, not the fame. If you’re constantly feeding the fame machine, the work will suffer, and you could find yourself in the middle of a downhill spiral. Third, never take fame for granted. Fame, can indeed, be fleeting. Approach fame with gratitude and respect. Never forget how powerful fame is and how it has thrust you into the public spotlight. Never let your guard down, even for a second. You can lose fame much faster than gain it."

Meanwhile, rely on your friends and family to stay grounded. Especially if you're becoming famous while still in school. Mike advises spending as much time as possible in the company of your loved ones. "Doing that will remind you, you are indeed still the same person."

"When meeting celebrities who you knew when they were younger, don’t be starstruck. They’re looking for normalcy in their life, and you reflect that, so just be you. It would, of course, be difficult to pretend their fame didn’t exist, so acknowledge it by simply complimenting their work," he said. And that's something to keep in mind for your next school reunion!

We were incredibly glad to read that so many well-known celebs used to be kind and decent kids while growing up. Unfortunately, some of them weren’t all that stellar. Stars are definitely just like ‘regular’ people in one regard—they’re far from perfect.

They had more or less the same flaws as their classmates, but these were probably later amplified by their fame. When you put any person under the microscope and subject them to attention 24/7, you notice a ton of things you probably otherwise wouldn’t. Suddenly, you start becoming hyper-aware of how outrageously funny/arrogant/charismatic/(un)likable they used to be… though you wouldn’t necessarily say the same things about your classmates who went on to have ‘ordinary’ careers.

One of the best things that teachers can do is treat all students equally. It’s human nature to have favorites, but educators ought to put in the effort to make sure that everyone, no matter their family or financial status, gets the attention they need.

My father went to high school with John Stamos. He says that Stamos was a huge nerd and performed magic tricks at lunch. That is all

Donald Trump, Jr. Went to the Hill School '94-95 while he was there. He was a cocky and judgemental douche who ran with a posse of sycophants of his choosing and who also always paid his way...dude never seemed to pay his own way. He also bagged his share of girls from the all-girl schools who would get busses in for our dances...dude was well aware of the power of his family name.

The one negative encounter that comes to mind each time I see his smug face on TV is when that m**********r criticized my choice in hats. You see, I fancied myself a skatepunk in the early to late 90's. I had decided to get a straw golf hat and safety pin it up all Australian-like on one side and festoon it with a band make from a cut up school tie...f**k the police. Anyways, he see's me rollin', he hatin'. He yells out, "Hey, that's not a skater hat, f*g!". Ridiculous reason for a grudge, sure...but f**k that guy anyway.

In the run-up to the 2016 election, journalists tracked down some of Junior’s former college classmates. It was reported that The PAB came to Philly, where Junior was attending the University of Pennsylvania, and made arrangements for the two to attend a Phillies baseball game. Junior excitedly opened the door to his dorm room wearing a Phillies jersey and cap; The PAB punched him right in the face and told him he had 5 minutes to change into a suit and tie. This was witnessed by many people who ‘just happened to be standing in the hall,’ trying to get a glimpse of the man. Junior’s nickname in college was Diaper Don because he was perpetually drunk and constantly pissing his pants. It is also pretty well documented that The PAB was never really interested in his kids until they were old enough to join his business. Junior spent his teen years hating and not speaking to his dad because of the humiliating tabloid headlines, embarrassing his mom and causing his classmates to mock him.

I believe he gained appeal because he wasn't a typical politician (at first), and he was good at telling people what they wanted to hear - "Let's drain the swamp!" - promising political reform, etc. No one realized how unhinged and corrupt he was, nor what an embarrassment he would be to the country. However, I can't offer an explanation of why anyone would continue to support him at this point.

12points

@Tamra And yet many of us did see how corrupt and unhinged he was. I remember my hair standing on end when in 2016 he started claiming that the election was rigged. I remember thinking that this was very dangerous rhetoric and combined that thought with his tendency to stir up violence at his rallies I correctly surmised that if he were elected he would likely not consent to a peaceful transfer of power. My fears came true on January 6th, just as I thought it would. But, like you, I can't understand why people would continue to support him unless this craziness is exactly what they want.

It truly bothers me to no end the amount of disrespect expressed whenever the name Donald Trump is mentioned. People, hate him all you want, but he should be shown the respect the office of the President of the United States of America! Did Richard Nixon receive this type of virulent hate and disrespect? No, he didn't, even though he was going to be impeached, but resigned prior to this occurring.

-1point

Suzy Creamcheese 1 year ago

Unlike Donald Trump, Richard Nixon accomplished some good things that aren't negated by the bad things he did. Trump accomplished nothing other than alienating our allies, sucking up to our enemies and generally making a damned fool of himself. And if you'd been alive when Watergate was happening (or if you were alive, if you'd paid attention), you may have noticed that much of the criticism leveled at Nixon was indeed hateful and disrespectful. Not that he didn't deserve it...

About your comment below which I cannot respond to because of downvotes.

I don't know what that has to do with the topic and it is Democrats who push for free grief counseling when tragedies occur. Aside from that, many Republicans have been quite cruel about Sandy Hook, calling it a "false flag", but if you want to prevent tragedies like that then vote Democrat, not Republican.

Previously, Bored Panda spoke about motivating students and having a good working relationship with them with Lisa McLendon, from the University of Kansas.

"Just this week I put a current student in touch with an alum who was looking for a summer intern—I knew the student and what the alum was looking for, and I thought they’d be a good match. By Thursday she had the internship!" the professor shared with us earlier.

"It’s always nice to see when your students flourish. I also encourage (and have gotten the university to fund) students to attend an annual professional conference, to see what professionals in the field are doing and start to build their network. Every year a few students go, and they’re always happy to have had such an experience,"

Some students are genuinely grateful for all of the help their teachers gave them. For example, some send handwritten notes, saying how much they value what they learned. Small gestures like that can help educators stay motivated when things get tough. It’s a reminder that what they do really matters.

According to Professor McLendon, educators can help guide and inspire their students by showing the purpose of what they’re doing in class.

"Relating concepts and skills to real-world activities can help many students understand not just what they’re doing but why. Explaining the purpose of big-picture things like a whole course as well as small things like individual assignments can help students understand why what they’re doing is relevant. Also, putting concepts and skills into the larger field can help students contextualize what they’re doing and see how it relates to things they’ve done before and things they’ll be doing at the next level," she explained.

Meanwhile, if you ever need to let a student know that they ought to put in more effort into their classwork and homework, the so-called ‘sandwich’ method works wonders.

“Tell the student something good about their work (bread), tell them how something could be better (filling), then tell them something else good, either about their work or about your confidence in their ability to do it (bread). Some students want simple, direct feedback on what to fix, but many want to know that they’re at least on the right track and that their teacher thinks they can do it,” the professor said.

Did you go to school with someone who later turned out to be famous, dear Pandas? Do you know a celebrity personally? Who is the most successful person you’ve seen at your school reunions so far?

He funded our town's band program and tries to come home for concerts and to stop by and say hello once in a while. He's a real genuine good guy.

"He's A Douchebag": 50 People Share What Schoolmates-Turned-Celebrities Were Like Before Fame My friends dad punched Bono when they were in school.

The full story:

So I'm slightly hazy about the exact details but the story goes Bono wrote a song (or sang a song) to my friends dad's girlfriend, as you can imagine he didn't take kindly to this creepy and d******d move. So the the next day he punched him right in the money maker!

Friends dad eventually married his girlfriend and they settled down on a very successful lettuce farm. Where they live happily married.

tl;dr Protects his woman by punching Bono in the sweetest thing and lives like a king on his farm, growing 2 kids and a lot of lettuce.

I called Bono fat. I lived in Vancouver in the 90's. Bono and his crew were in a popular restaurant. After several drinks in several bars me and two of my friends went to the same restaurant. My friend says "Hey look that's Bono" I said "No, that's just a fat guy who looks like Bono" This back and forth went on for quite some time. Two girls walking by the restaurant looked in the windows and started screaming that was when I realized my friend was right. When Bono and crew were leaving the restaurant he stopped at our table and looked me in the eye and slowly shook his head. Apparently, I was the only person not to know that U2 was in town. He was fat!

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

This is a small scale version of a well know psychological phenomenon called BIRGing (Basking In Reflective Glory). People find ways to attach themselves to someone successful (ie I went to high school with famous person) so that in some way the successful person’s accomplishments sort of rub off on the speaker. Another example would be if some in a crowd turned to you and shouts “That’s my kid (or friend, partner, etc)!” about a winning athlete.

Sinatra. Hope. Astaire. Crosby. Dave Cavanaugh. Bix. Dorsey Brothers. Basie. Satchmo. Chuck Cabot. Carmen Cavallaro. My Dad was among Swing Era greats, arranging and playing music with Big Bands before he was old enough to vote. Bix was his mentor, warning him away from alcohol and drugs saying "it will steal your music." Satchmo liked Dad's version of "Saints" saying it was better than his. Sinatra, Hope, Crosby were just "some of the guys" to him and they would meet often, call the house, hang out. Grew up as a roadie working stage for his company, including shows for Stones, Zeppelin, Janis Joplin,, Jefferson Airplane, Buffalo Springfield (had a crush on Dewey), Jim Morrison (epitomized sensuality), Cream, Country Joe, Queen, Ted Nugent, BOC, Heart, Aerosmith, Kiss... so many I've lost track.

The interview with the celebrity expert bothers me.

Charisma is a real thing, of course, and I have no doubt some people have more than others. But it's also luck, nepotism, hard work, luck, luck...did I mention luck? The genes for being considered beautiful, oligarchic machinations, and luck. So many people are talented, in so many ways. There are nearly 8 billion people.

Went to the same high school as a famous Orioles family (Maryland). Admittedly much later than they did. Billy Ripkin was a constant substitute teacher in the school. Cal Sr did lots of appearances around the area. Cal Jr really takes the cake and its all negative. We adored Billy. He was amazing and involved. Positive role model, kept his promises when he made them. Cal Sr not much to tell. He'd show up, do his requirements and went back to doing more... busy man. Cal Jr from the time I was in 9th to when my older kids were in elementary would hype the kids up thru letters read by one of his staff and promises voiced by one of his staff. He rarely made appearances, he never kept the promises as they were worded... always fell short with them, and would turn it around when he didn't follow thru with what was promised. The kids always met the goals he set for them to earn a visit, he never showed up etc. Its just sad he did that all the time.

There's a standup comedian named Pete Lee, not a huge name but still fairly well known. He performed at my college and I ended up getting to meet him since some friends were working tech for the show. I was researching stand-up for a script at the time and meekly asked if I could ask a couple questions about his experience in the industry. He sat down with me for a good 30-45 minutes after the show, doing a full on interview, offering a ton of resources, and giving feedback/advice on on the premise for the screenplay. Seriously the sweetest guy you'll ever meet! On the other side of the spectrum, I also had a professor in my film program who said that Jeff Goldblum hit on his sister while she was working as a waitress. Both the professor and his sister are a good deal younger than Goldblum and she said he was super skeevy.

I went to church with Emma Stone. She went by Emily then. She was your average teenage girl. She was pretty cool and down to earth. supposedly, and this is coming from my best friend's mouth who wasn't always honest but still mostly trustworthy, they had sex. Still not sure if it's true. Another one, my high school english teacher was best friends with John Ritter. The day he died my teacher came in just bawling. He had said John was the nicest guy he had known.

I went to high school with Mario Lopez, of Saved By The Bell fame. He was kind of a douche & conceited but not too bad a person, to me. All the girls loved him (obviously). After he got that show, he came back to the school to speak to the drama majors (we were a creative & performing arts school & had majors. Mine was music) about his experience in Hollywood. & he brought a castmate: Tiffany Amber Thiessen. The other well known person was the NFL All-Pro linebacker Donnie Edwards. My first year at UCLA, the actors who played Steve Urkel & Winnie Cooper were also freshmen. Hilariously, people put "I <3 you, Winnie Cooper!" signs in their dorm windows. lol

I went to school with Chad Hurley, his sister Heather was in my grade. He was okay, it was a small enough school that you could end up being on a nodding acquaintance with everyone, and he didn't stick out except that I thought he and his sister looked a lot more alike than they do now.

I have a few. My mom's coworker used to date Jimmy Page and said she left him because he was into some dark s**t. My brother's stepmother grew up with Reese Witherspoon and said she was a total stuck up b***h. A friend of mine is Billy Joe's nephew from Green Day and he says he's kind of a prick. Finally, as I mentioned in another comment, my grandma used to date Nick Cage's dad (Francis Ford Copella's brother) and took him and nick to an opera but she ended up dumping him because he was so full of himself. She said nick was nice though. This was around the time Peggy Sue Got Married came out.

Not to much into celebrities but I remember my dad telling me once (and showing me a grade school picture) that he grew up with Henry Winkler. All he said was he was a weird kid. Quite and through a lot of grade school carried his teddy bear. He grew out of it eventually. Not the most popular kid. But apparently he has done well for himself. Pretty much all my dad said.

I went canoeing and rifle practice and rock climbing with blanche Brody. She turns 18 soon I think. She's a lesser known music artists and you can find her on Spotify. I met her when we were 15 or 16 and was the first person to greet her when she first got one of her summer jobs. She writes songs with a similar style to cavetown or girl in red, although she doesn't have nearly as many fans as them lol. She even tells me she still remembers when we first met. (I was sitting on the floor outside waiting for my friend and she came up and said hi, and said she thinks we would be working together that summer. So we sat and talked about guitar, which is what we both were learning to play at the time) I started writing songs and having her do the tune/melody and instruments while I write lyrics. :).

My sister, Claire, was in acting school and even the same class as Danny Masterson during his raping years. They are the same height so he HATED her. The school is affiliated with The Celebrity Centre and he was allowed to do whatever he wanted. It started her disgust with and eventual leaving from the school. She called him a predatory douche waaaay back then. He totally did it. My sister is a b***h but if she says douchebag you can bet on douchebag. She had absolutely no reason to make that specific assessment. No charges had been filed at that time. But he just gave The Vibe. Oh, my mom was a pioneer rape crisis counselor. We were raised to notice The Vibe.

An extended family member of mine went to high school with Crown Princess Mary of Denmark (back when she was Mary Donaldson). Apparently she was always really nice, down to Earth, had a small circle of close friends but got along with basically everyone. And very pretty. They very briefly "dated" (in that very teenage boyfriend-girlfriend way, they were 15) and then he ditched her at a party to go to a friend's house because he had a case of beer. That was the end of that relationship, but they still got along okay afterwards. Didn't stay in touch after high school. Then suddenly he's watching the news years later and they're announcing her engagement to the Crown Prince of Denmark...

I schooled with, and later married, the sister of a noted SciFi/Fantasy author, who married another star SF&F creator. Their fireplace mantle was loaded with literary award statuettes. Ours sported carvings. No, I shall drop no names, but you've seen her in many video credits and publishers' lists. I survived other close calls with 'celebs' -- hardly worth mentioning now. 8-(

My first real boyfriend (long and serious relationship) is nationally known in my country, a well respected pundit/editor/journalist/news paper founder/author/radio host and so on and blah blah. He also married into a nationally known and acclaimed musical and literary family, and his three daughters are definitely on their way to success as well. He and his family travel all over the world, doing charity and activism. Meanwhile, I've gotten nowhere in life - unmarried, childless, never finished my education, never provided for myself in full, now living in a small apartment and receiving early pension, sitting in bed all day ëvery day with my cola and cigarettes. To be honest, the stark contrast sucks.

I went to high school with Rob (R.) Kelly. He missed a lot of class either hanging outside (no one has three lunch periods) or in the musical wing of the school, usually in the choral rooms. He was close to Ms. McLin, the choir teacher (she was raised by her uncle Thomas Dorsey, the father of gospel music). He was really fond of sophomore girls and dated a friend of mine and dumped her. He sang at EVERY talent show, he was an extremely good mimic. He could sound exactly alike whoever was popular at the time which meant a lot of New Edition. We used to throw band candy m&ms at him. He only won one of the talent shows when he and a group of guys sang Always and Forever. They beat my band in the talent show (unsophisticated high school kids were too immature to appreciate new wave/synth original songs played by a live band that even included hot backup singers--I was really into Eurythmics, Culture Club, and Prince so I will leave it up to your imagination about my stage costumes).

Princess Margaret was the celebrity who officiated at the opening of my new high school building when I was 12. She hung around for a couple of minutes meeting the head girl then was gone. When I was 15 one girl from the upper sixth form was accepted into Oxford. A few years later one of my cousins also went to Oxford. And who cares? It was over 60 years ago! Meaningless to anybody except the persons involved. I'm rather annoyed that I read this thread. Didn't find out much about any of the well known people referred to except that somebody knew them at some point, and wasn't that the point of the thread in the first place? Finding out about famous people before they were famous? Didn't happen. Still in the dark about most of them and quite a few I only know the name anyway. Thumbs down on this one. 🤷‍♀️
