Nobody ever expects to run into a celebrity while living their lives. And even if they do, most don’t dare to approach them with requests for photos because, come on, celebrities already get loads of attention and requests to do this and that from fans.

However, that doesn’t stop some from engaging them, and the whole encounter turns out to be quite nice. These few have also shared pictures online of said encounters, from which Bored Panda has created a list of the best ones for you to peruse.

Check them out below, vote and comment on the ones you enjoyed the most, and why not also let us know if you’ve ever met any of these celebs, or any celebs in general in the comment section below!

My Grandma (99!) Met Her Favorite Actor [Denzel Washington] Today!

My Grandma (99!) Met Her Favorite Actor [Denzel Washington] Today!

"So story time; my grandma was a librarian in Mt. Vernon, NY Public Library for 50 years. Denzel grew up there. If you've ever met her, she will tell you the story of how she gave Denzel Washington his first library card. And that he was the cutest thing and how wonderful he was. I have heard this story easily 300+ times in my life. :)"

"Fast forward to a month ago and it was her 99th Birthday. The women at her nursing home wanted to do something special so they tried to contact Denzel and get him to come or call, and he ended up calling and talking to her on her birthday. On the call, he said he would be in our city in December and would stop by and voila here he is!"

"He was so nice and caring. Laughing with her and holding her hand like he was old friends with her. He teared up a few times seeing the love and respect she showed for him. She knits a scarf a day and gave him three for him, his wife, and his mother. My mom and I were there with him and my grandma and it was such a cool experience. He kept saying with his publicist 'this is what it's all about.'"

I Met This Cool Guy [Christian Bale] On A 5 Hour Plane Ride

"Basically I was just really polite (maybe overly so?) and didn't bother him for the vast majority of the flight. Eventually I just told him I was a big fan of his work and asked his permission for a pic. I kinda wish I would have talked to him a bit more, but i really didn't want to be an annoying guy who doesn't take social cues."

I totally see what you mean, I'd be really nervous too and wouldn't want to make him socialize if he didn't want too. He does seem genuinely happy in the pic though.

Met The Nicest Guy [Peter Dinklage] While Playing Soccer In Toronto. I Was A Little Too Excited I Think

"I was playing a game of soccer and Dinklage and Adam Sandler were walking by with some kids. Sandler was heckling and making funny comments about the game. In response to those who think it's silly to get pictures taken with celebrities, I think to each his own. I admire Mr. Dinklage and I personally think he is a superb actor and I love his character on Game of Thrones. I had a chance to express my appreciation for his work which I think he appreciated in return. I didn't ask for a picture with Adam Sandler because it's Mr. Dinklage that I was so excited to meet. I'm a girl btw... Soccer attire and excited face...guess I need more makeup when I play!"
