Top 25 Celebrities People Would Marry Without Any Prior Interaction

I think it’s pretty safe to assume that MOST people have a celebrity crush or two. Some people go so far as to have a celebrity “free pass” with their partners.

Usually, we fall for their on-screen portrayal, their character may be witty and charming, and their looks and skill draw us in. Then seeing the stars as themselves in interviews adds to the allure.

“Getting to know” a celebrity through media, and the instant access social media now provides plays a big hand in how we feel about them. Turns out a lot of celebs are actually pretty decent folk, they can care about things that are important to you, too.

With all that, maybe it’s less surprising that the average person wouldn’t turn down a marriage proposal from their favorite star. Curious to know what other people thought, Redditor u/eeenee asked: What celebrity would you marry if they asked you to without any date prior?

With over 33k upvotes and 21.2k responses, u/eeenee’s question was VERY popular. Answers varied between obvious no-brainers, like Keanu Reeves (same though ??), to some that were financially practical, like Jeff Bezos (?).
