The Awkward Family Photos website has been storing interesting, weird, and funny family photos for 12 years. They've stored various categories of epic family photos throughout these years, and today we're going to show you those that come from the celeb category. In this category, users contributed their celeb-related photos where they show their relatives that look like celebs, as well as their family's random encounters with famous celebrities. I can almost guarantee that these photos were a talking point in many a conversation, and once you'll see them, you'll understand why.

This Magic Moment

This Magic Moment

“So I was going through some old photos and I found this. My Dad holding Magic Johnson and looking incredibly badass while doing it. A little backstory. My Dad was good friends with Jerry Buss’ niece, and was invited to a Laker’s picnic. He played volleyball all his life and Magic, along with a few others, wanted to test his skills. He played Magic and as he was going up for a spike, my Dad slammed it back into his face to win the game. Magic came up to him after, grabbed him and said, “Next time, you’re on my team.” They both had a good laugh and my Dad swooped him up into his arms.”

Wax On, Wax Off

“This is a photo of me when I met Pat Morita roughly half a year before he passed away. He was getting honored at an Asian award show that I was volunteering at, and when he walked by he pointed at me and said ‘I want that hair!’

He was being followed by a bunch of other photographers and one of them said to take a picture with the guy with the crazy hair. He immediately went up to the wall and put his hands upon it, so I pretty much said to myself “ok, I guess I’m frisking Pat Morita”.

I was quick enough to give my camera to a friend of mine and she took the photo that you see here. My moment with Pat was super brief but I’ll never forget it!”
