12 Wholesome Celebrity Encounters That People Would Never Forget
Someone once remarked, "Never meet your heroes," and I agree with that sentiment. It's possible that the experience of actually meeting a role model will leave you feeling extremely let down. There are a lot of stories about famous individuals being rude to their fans, but there are also a lot of stories about them being incredibly nice to those who respect them.
Users of Reddit were encouraged to share stories of the most positive interactions they've had with well-known figures in their lives. It's possible that your fantasies about Keanu Reeves comforting you when you're feeling down or Dolly Parton sharing fries with you aren't as far-fetched as you think they are.
He came back a while later as he was leaving and showed us the huge bag of Bazooka gum he had and said something along of the lines of how he had a big family, so he had to get them a bunch. He was very sweet — he told us to have a great day. The whole table processed the interaction and came to the realization that it was Bruce Willis, who was there for lunch with his brother!”
‘Sweetie, don’t ever apologize for wanting to talk to me or ask for my autograph — I wouldn’t have a job if it wasn’t for you!’ He gave me a sweet smile and hug (with an autograph, of course). I’m 36 now, and still feel like he’s one of the most gentle and true spirits I have ever come across.”
Zendaya stopped her security and said, ‘Look, nobody standing here would have a job right now if it wasn’t for people like them watching the show and supporting me. I’d really like it if you’d let me have a few minutes with my fans to thank them. It’s the least I can do.’
I was a little bit older than most of the other kids (I was 12), and Angelina took the time to talk to me. She asked what I was interested in, and I said I loved reading classic experimental fiction — she came back the next day before she left town to give me a copy of The Sheltering Sky. She wasn’t super famous at the time, and she was just the sweetest and funniest person — I still have the book.”
I really had to go, so I sheepishly apologized and said I’d be quick, in case I was interrupting. As I was heading into the stall, Miley said, ‘Do you want me to turn the water on for you?! I get SO pee-shy. Here, I’ll just turn it on for you.’ I chuckled and said, ‘It’s okay, I lived in a sorority house with 30 other women, so you learn to get over it quickly — but thanks!’
She was so sweet and humble, and was gracious enough to do a duet with me — it still gives me goosebumps thinking about how extremely talented she was. I was completely gobsmacked at how amazing her voice really was, which paled in comparison to how incredibly nice she was.”
