26 People Reveal What Schoolmates-Turned-Celebrities Were Like Before Fame
Back in our school days, we might have own dreams of becoming adventurous astronauts, charismatic rock stars, and legendary athletes. They're different careers in different areas but have one thing in common: all kids want to be superstars in those fields they want to work in. Although most kids grew up and forget their dreams, not every one of them gives up their ambitions. Some of them did turn their dreams into reality.
And you probably didn’t know at the time, the person who sat next to you in some classes or at the cafeteria was about to become a celebrity in the future. Maybe he or she was infamous for some personality that their friends disliked, maybe they were the kids of well-known parents and it was a secret to anyone. Anyway, that’s exactly what internet users discussed in an awesome thread on r/AskReddit.
Redditors shared who they or their friends or relatives went to school with and who’s famous now. It’s truly an interesting topic to learn how fun, kind, and down-to-earth our favorite celebrities were. Still, it’s not the case with every celebrity. So, let’s scroll down and check them out!
Her bashful response was, "Oh... umm... I really like to play guitar". A few months later she performed "Our Song" at our annual talent show. There was a silence before the huge round of applause. It was the first time 90% of us ever heard her music.

With Justin Bieber. She said he's a douchebag." - mjcronic
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 of hats. You see, I fancied myself a skatepunk in the early to late 90s. 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 sees 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."
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 friend's dad's girlfriend, as you can imagine he didn't take kindly to this creepy and d******d move. So 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."

"My Mom went to high school with Michelle Obama (formerly Michelle Robinson), and even has a yearbook with her signature in it. They were in the National Honor Society together and had been pretty good acquaintances. It wasn't until one day after Obama was elected, my Mom was watching the news, and jumped in recognition and ran to find her yearbook." - Katey5678
