30 Times People Met Celebrities And It Was A Bit Awkward
Meeting someone you look up to can be quite overwhelming (especially so, if you're already socially awkward). No matter how many times you try to convince yourself that they're human just like you, it just doesn't work that way. Upon encountering them, you start to giggle, then the little cool sweat drops show up on your upper lip only for your mouth to open up and blurt out some one-of-a-kind nonsense to a person you were trying to impress. Wait, are we describing first dates or celebrity encounters...
Recently, one radio DJ asked his Twitter followers to share awkward encounters they had with celebrities. And boy, did they deliver! We cut down hundreds of replies to the 65 best ones, so scroll down below to read the full list and enjoy a hot cup of that good old secondhand embarrassment.

I actually had the pleasure of being a teacher's aid for his little cousins class. When it came time to do family trees, he proudly placed his cousins name in big bold letters on it.

Some of these celebrities seem to be very easily triggered...maybe some common courtesy will get you further in the world 👏🏻

I bet it's because no one asks a "famous" person about their day. They always ask for selfies or autographs. "Celebrities" are normal people just like us but most people want to meet them just for clout

In July I was sitting at my gate in Burlington Vermont about to catch a flight. Self absorbed, not paying attention. Person seated next to me was doing a crossword puzzle and drops his pen. I instinctively pick it up and the elder gentleman thanks me... Nick-Berni...770d46.jpg

Was behind Orlando Jones in the check out line at Whole Foods. (He was living locally at the time because they were filming Sleepy Hollow.) It was right around Thanksgiving and he'd been going around the store pretending to be talking on his cell phone so he wouldn't be approached by fans. Turns out he and I had the same Kite Hill Cream Cheese in our baskets. I held up a tub and said "this stuff is amazing." He replied with "I know, right!" As he walked away I said "Have a good Thanksgiving Mr. Jones." He smiled and said "You too."

Also, at the same Whole Foods...I was at the bakery looking at pastries when I met this nice British woman who was looking for some vegan options. I mentioned to her a few other places in town that had more to offer. She thanked me and continued shopping. When I got out to my car, she was walking through the car lot. I said "Did anyone ever tell you that you look like the actress that plays the science teacher on "Under the Dome?"" She says "That's because I am." I said "Hot damn girl, come over here. I need a picture with you." It was Karla Crome. It told her I looked forward to seeing her in the next episode of the show. She smiled and said good-bye. The next week, they killed off her character. I was mortified. LOL Me-and-Kar...da4816.jpg

I was on a train with my dad when I was 19, an older guy accompanied by a younger guy got on. He noticed I was reading Raymond E Feist and asked what booked I liked, I remember being annoyed as he kept talking to me and I just wanted to read. He then asked if I had read trainspotting. To which I replied I had tried but couldn't finish it as it was just awful... he stopped talking to me then. I got off the train and my dad said.. That was Irvine Welsh. I had a blank look and he said he WROTE trainspotting...
