Let’s take a look at 23 times people shared what it was like to go to school with celebrities. Keep scrolling down and enjoy!
"My dad went to the next high school over from Steve Carell and they hung out in the same friend group."
"Said he was goofy and funny but not exceptionally so."
"They actually ran into one another at my great-uncle's funeral a few years back and chatted a bit, said he seemed like he was still a pretty decent, normal guy."
"My mother went to elementary school with Jennifer Lopez."
"They saw each other at a meet and greet a while back, pretty nice," @RivenTheAhamkara posted.
"Benedict Cumberbatch (in the year below me) inherited my prep school blazer from the hand-me-down cupboard, my mum tells me. Not surprising, since IIRC the only place you could buy them new was Harrods. Extremely pleasant fellow at 11, he was."
"Not me, but my dad used to be friends and play basketball with Shaquille O'Neal when they were around 13."
"They lived a couple of houses away from each other at one point..."
And here comes the funniest part:
"My dad always resorted to clinging to his leg to keep him from scoring. He was a tank compared to my dad even back then."
"Late to the party, but I knew Billie Joe Armstrong and the Green Day guys (and the Rancid guys) in their early times from my punk rock days. I did not know them well, but they were the nicest guys ever."
"Saw them mostly at Thanksgiving with both of our families or occasionally met up with them and their family if we visited LA. They're really good girls that dealt with a lot of shit for trying to grow up and live a normal life while also being well recognized and chased around everywhere they went."
"Can’t say I blame him," @brendaishere shared.
Can't say I blame him either!
"Not me, but my aunt. She knew Snoop during high school..."
"And at the time everyone there was getting into colors."
"She decided to join in, tied a bandana to her arm. Later in the day, he took it from her, without a word. Turns out that people wearing her color were being hunted down.
"Overall, pretty cool dude. I hear he hasn't changed much."
There's a heartwarming story about The Rock
"My mom used the go to the same gym as Dwayne Johnson (she had just started going again at this point and she hadn’t been to a gym in 10+ years due to an incident where someone had a heart attack in her spin class)."
"She walked up to him and said, “I’m sorry if I’m bothering you I just don’t really know where to start with all this.” He immediately stopped in the middle of his workout and helped design an entire workout plan for her including showing her what machines/how to use them."
Another story:
"Went to elementary school with Justin Bieber. He was a total bully and a giant [expletive] but for some reason, he took a liking to me and invited me to all his birthdays. A funny memory I have is of him making fun of some kid on the stairwell and then tripping and falling down the stairs and then crying all the way to the Principal's Office. He has always been a total douche," @MetalGriffin wrote.

"This was before he was famous and everything she just saw he knew what he was doing."
"She walked up to him and said, “I’m sorry if I’m bothering you I just don’t really know where to start with all this.” He immediately stopped in the middle of his workout and helped design an entire workout plan for her including showing her what machines/how to use them."
"Over the next several months every time he was there and he saw my mom, he would ask her how her workout was going. Just genuinely a nice guy."
"Sadly she moved and couldn’t go back to the same gym but she has kept using the workout he designed for her and she kept a six pack well into her 50s. I know it’s not really being childhood friends with them but it was still when he was super young and he had a profound impact on my mom's life so I thought I would share."#22 Justin Bieber.
