40 Celeb Encounters That Show That They Are Just Regular People
“I saw 50 Cent playing with a bouncy ball at 4 AM in the lobby of Palms Casino.”
We all know the line famous people always try to sell us: “I am just like you.” And we know that they are lying.
They are not the first or the last ones hit by stardom that makes them forget who they are and where they came from. It is just the way people are, and there is nothing we can do about it.
However, some celebrities don’t act like stars at all, and everyone loves them for it. Being a celebrity can be hard and exhausting.
Thousands of people out there want to take a selfie with them (autographs are so yesterday), and they have to smile even when they don’t feel like it. Most of us would say, “It is their job. I smile at work even when I don’t feel like it.”
And you are right. But there are some people who don’t view interacting with fans and regular people as tedious or tiresome.
These are the heroes of our story. People love sharing their encounters with stars who behave as if they are not stars, and we have selected 40 of the most interesting posts.
We know you are going to enjoy them.

Some celebrities think fame gives them the right to act like jerks, and frankly, some of them even believe it is expected of them. A petty mind believes that the only way to show class is to degrade others.
But these are extremes. Most celebrities are ordinary people with the same fears and desires…
They can be down and not in the mood for a selfie. So, if that happens, don’t judge them.
They are just having a bad day. Their Ferrari broke down, their Lamborghini is undergoing routine maintenance, and the helicopter pilot is out of town…
