“He’s A Douchebag”: 50 People Share What Schoolmates-Turned-Celebrities Were Like Before Fame
Remember when your teacher would ask the entire class about what they wanted to be when they grew up? There were always a few kids who’d say that they wanted to become adventurous astronauts, charismatic rock stars, and legendary athletes. They were shooting for the stars! And though life happens and we have to let go of some of our ambitions, not everyone gives up on their dreams. Some of them turn theirs into reality.
Maybe you didn’t know it at the time, but the person sitting next to you in class and at the cafeteria was going to become wildly famous in the future. Maybe they were the kids of famous parents and it wasn’t a secret to anyone. Well, that’s exactly what internet users discussed in an insightful thread on r/AskReddit.
Redditors revealed who they or their relatives went to school with who’s famous now, and spilled the beans about what they were like back then. It’s amazing to learn how fun, kind, and down-to-earth many beloved celebrities were… though it’s not the case with everyone. Check out their stories below and let us know which ones resonated with you the most, Pandas!
We got in touch with entertainment, pop culture, and lifestyle expert Mike Sington for a chat about recognizing who will go far while they're still in school. "Many people have talent, very, very few have star quality," he told Bored Panda. We also asked Hollywood's Ultimate Insider about the potential pitfalls that celebrities ought to be aware of, how to stay grounded, and how to behave at your next school reunion if your classmate is famous. You'll find the full interview below.

I went to high school with **Taylor Swift**. She was endearing and awkward. Extremely kind and modest. A group of us saw her perform on Good Morning America one morning before anyone knew she was a musician. Went she returned to school later in the week and we were like "WHAT THE F**K TAYLOR?? Who are you?"
Her bashful response, "Oh... umm... I really like to play guitar". Few months later she performed "Our Song" at our annual talent show. There was a silence before the huge round of applause. It was the first time 90% of us ever heard her music.
(I was a senior her freshman year. We had gym together)

She and I are from the same hometown. I've never met her, but everybody I know who has says she's really cool. That makes me happy.
"It’s charisma that will usually tip you off as to who will make it big in the future. Who did everyone want to be around? Who had that undefinable X-factor? Those are the people most likely to be famous in the future," celebrity expert Mike explained to Bored Panda what the signs of someone who will probably go far in life are.
"Having talent simply isn’t enough. The most talented people in school may go on to make a living with that talent, but it’s unlikely to catapult them to stardom. Many people have talent, very, very few have star quality."
Hollywood's Ultimate Insider noted that there are a few major pitfalls that celebrities need to be aware of. "First, be careful of who you surround yourself with. Are those people in your life there to help and support you? Or are they just latching on to your fame for the ride and excitement of it all? Even worse, are they there taking advantage of you?" he warned.

My friend went to elementary school with Prince and said he used to take his milk money. I knew Ben Bratt, Margaret Cho, and Sam Rockwell who all went to school in SF. Ben was a total sweetheart who was always nice and polite when his little sisters´ friends slept over. Sam Rockwell, Margaret Cho, and Aiesha Taylor were all ridiculously talented when performing in plays at SF´s School of the Arts. Sam did an amazing job in ¨An Indian in the Bronx,¨ and I thought he was going places. I was a nerdy student taking APs and many of the future stars would cut class to smoke mary jane in Glen Canyon. They ended up world famous and I´m a substitute teacher.

Casey 2 years ago (edited)
According to all reports and every. Single. Source. Including Priscilla herself, he refused to consummate their relationship until after they married in 1968. A possible clue is that Lisa Marie was born exactly nine months after their wedding. They actually became much closer after the divorce. Priscilla begged him to stop touring and go to rehab. She had even made arrangements for him at a facility. But he obviously never went. From everything I have learned over many decades (hint: a lot!), Elvis never had relations with minors. He had a lot of faults, but this wasn't one of them. Compared to the vast majority of celebrities, Elvis was a saint. In all seriousness, he was a kind, decent, and generous soul.

"Second, focus on the work, not the fame. If you’re constantly feeding the fame machine, the work will suffer, and you could find yourself in the middle of a downhill spiral. Third, never take fame for granted. Fame, can indeed, be fleeting. Approach fame with gratitude and respect. Never forget how powerful fame is and how it has thrust you into the public spotlight. Never let your guard down, even for a second. You can lose fame much faster than gain it."
Meanwhile, rely on your friends and family to stay grounded. Especially if you're becoming famous while still in school. Mike advises spending as much time as possible in the company of your loved ones. "Doing that will remind you, you are indeed still the same person."
"When meeting celebrities who you knew when they were younger, don’t be starstruck. They’re looking for normalcy in their life, and you reflect that, so just be you. It would, of course, be difficult to pretend their fame didn’t exist, so acknowledge it by simply complimenting their work," he said. And that's something to keep in mind for your next school reunion!

Genius. Pure genius. Stephen Hawking is right up there with him. Why didn't we learn from them?
We were incredibly glad to read that so many well-known celebs used to be kind and decent kids while growing up. Unfortunately, some of them weren’t all that stellar. Stars are definitely just like ‘regular’ people in one regard—they’re far from perfect.
They had more or less the same flaws as their classmates, but these were probably later amplified by their fame. When you put any person under the microscope and subject them to attention 24/7, you notice a ton of things you probably otherwise wouldn’t. Suddenly, you start becoming hyper-aware of how outrageously funny/arrogant/charismatic/(un)likable they used to be… though you wouldn’t necessarily say the same things about your classmates who went on to have ‘ordinary’ careers.
One of the best things that teachers can do is treat all students equally. It’s human nature to have favorites, but educators ought to put in the effort to make sure that everyone, no matter their family or financial status, gets the attention they need.

Donald Trump, Jr. Went to the Hill School '94-95 while he was there. He was a cocky and judgemental douche who ran with a posse of sycophants of his choosing and who also always paid his way...dude never seemed to pay his own way. He also bagged his share of girls from the all-girl schools who would get busses in for our dances...dude was well aware of the power of his family name. The one negative encounter that comes to mind each time I see his smug face on TV is when that m**********r criticized my choice in hats. You see, I fancied myself a skatepunk in the early to late 90's. I had decided to get a straw golf hat and safety pin it up all Australian-like on one side and festoon it with a band make from a cut up school tie...f**k the police. Anyways, he see's me rollin', he hatin'. He yells out, "Hey, that's not a skater hat, f*g!". Ridiculous reason for a grudge, sure...but f**k that guy anyway.

Some students are genuinely grateful for all of the help their teachers gave them. For example, some send handwritten notes, saying how much they value what they learned. Small gestures like that can help educators stay motivated when things get tough. It’s a reminder that what they do really matters.
According to Professor McLendon, educators can help guide and inspire their students by showing the purpose of what they’re doing in class.
"Relating concepts and skills to real-world activities can help many students understand not just what they’re doing but why. Explaining the purpose of big-picture things like a whole course as well as small things like individual assignments can help students understand why what they’re doing is relevant. Also, putting concepts and skills into the larger field can help students contextualize what they’re doing and see how it relates to things they’ve done before and things they’ll be doing at the next level," she explained.

Meanwhile, if you ever need to let a student know that they ought to put in more effort into their classwork and homework, the so-called ‘sandwich’ method works wonders.
“Tell the student something good about their work (bread), tell them how something could be better (filling), then tell them something else good, either about their work or about your confidence in their ability to do it (bread). Some students want simple, direct feedback on what to fix, but many want to know that they’re at least on the right track and that their teacher thinks they can do it,” the professor said.

Won’t spill any more beans… Oh, and the connection to high school, I also used to hang out with Newhart’s son, Tim, while we were in high school. We used to go thrift shopping in Hollywood!

I'm not sure if it's true, but I did read somewhere that she wrote to Rowling before the movies saying that she was struggling with sui-thoughts/self harm and the books helped her a lot. If true, it's really neat that she ended up playing one of my favorite characters.

A friend of mine from high school said she was friends with Tom Felton, like could call him and chat and he would call her. I asked for her to call him and she suddenly had excuses, Then I asked to just see a pic of them together (she said they met through her grandma...don't remember why grandma had the hookup) and she couldn't produce one. She couldn't produce a scrap of evidence. I realized after she made a few more outlandish statements like this that she was just a lonely pathological liar who wanted attention.

Madonna apparently went in and had her face completely redone. I personally think that is ridiculous because you should be proud of who you are. I thought she always promoted this stand on being who she was against the norm of society . That has changed? Don't try and be somebody you are not. Why? You are who you are so be proud of that. I am 65 years old and Madonna, I know for a fact, is the same age so be proud of that. I am. Good grief, if you did not tell me that was Madonna, I would never know it. She was a beautiful woman. Even at her age she was a beautiful woman. Now she is trying to be somebody she is not and I have lost faith in the words that were coming out of her mouth. I always admired and respected her for standing up for what she believed in, I have lost faith in that now. That's a shame.

According to legend, my mom's friends strung Rob Schneider's underwear up a flag pole at their band camp when he was a Freshman...I brought it up with him a few years back when he was visiting town and he jokingly scolded me for "bringing up that painful memory". In high school he was supposedly a dorky, goofy, kind of annoying but lovable kid...from my own experiences more recently, he's silly and loves to make jokes and everything but mostly he's just laid back and very kind. He funded our town's band program and tries to come home for concerts and to stop by and say hello once in a while. He's a real genuine good guy.

He once took out an ad lambasting a critic who had given his latest film a bad review. The ad said "What do you know about reviewing a movie? Did you win some sort of Pulitzer prize for film criticism?" A different critic, Roger Ebert, said in his next column "Rob, it so happens that I do have a Pulitzer prize for film criticism. And your movie sucks."
the Return of Bruno 3 years ago (edited)
An amusing anecdote. I had a love-hate relationship towards Ebert. He was sincere and hated the corruption of criticism that was growing towards the end of his life. He was also a pompous windbag, a pretentious snob before being something before something was something was something. His reviews were always interesting, but never correlated with how good a movie was; famously, he never agreed with Gene Siskel. And if they DID agree on liking a movie, it was certain to be terrible.

So I'm slightly hazy about the exact details but the story goes Bono wrote a song (or sang a song) to my friends dad's girlfriend, as you can imagine he didn't take kindly to this creepy and d******d move. So the the next day he punched him right in the money maker!
Friends dad eventually married his girlfriend and they settled down on a very successful lettuce farm. Where they live happily married.

I called Bono fat. I lived in Vancouver in the 90's. Bono and his crew were in a popular restaurant. After several drinks in several bars me and two of my friends went to the same restaurant. My friend says "Hey look that's Bono" I said "No, that's just a fat guy who looks like Bono" This back and forth went on for quite some time. Two girls walking by the restaurant looked in the windows and started screaming that was when I realized my friend was right. When Bono and crew were leaving the restaurant he stopped at our table and looked me in the eye and slowly shook his head. Apparently, I was the only person not to know that U2 was in town. He was fat!

When Bono was 11 or 12 his brother got a job working at an airline. Must have been Aer Lingus, but I can't remember. Anyways, the employees were allowed to take home all the leftover premade uneaten airplane food 'trays'. They ate nothing but those Irish airline meals for years. After his mother died he really came to hate them because then there was literally no other food being made to eat. He promised himself when he became a famous rock star, he'd only choose the best food to eat, and eat all the variety he wanted. So, he has. Good for him.

"Protects his woman by punching Bono"? Yeah, that's not at all how this reads; it reads that a guy was singing a song to (or for) a woman and her violent, jealous a*****e of a boyfriend punched the singer in the face due to being very insecure.

What.. what exactly in the chicken fried f**k has Bono done to any of you? He uses his celebrity to feed starving children....ok. WTF did YOU do today? Break a nail when the Starbucks barista handed you your triple half calf soccer mom venti lattè? Your kid take your iphone charger to school with them again? Complain the douche in the other lane wouldn't let you merge over? Anyone have anything they've done that does NOT qualify as a First World Problem? Yeeaaah, Bono is suuuuuuch a preachy douche🙄. He helped feed a continent today, so sit down TF down.

Met him and the band way back before they became popular in the US. Seemed pretty chill at the time, but as the years, and their fame, progressed I was turned off by their self-righteous attitude, esp. Bono's. I mean, it's pretty egotistical to call yourself Bono Vox (good voice). Sure it was a silly nickname at first, but he continued to use it.

Tbh I used to like him too then he became super preachy. Although at least he can from what I perceive as laughing at oneself by his reaction to being called fat Bono.

Kurt Cobain suffered terribly from both severe scoliosis and untreated issues with his stomach. He made no bones about the fact he was self-medicating. IMO, his addiction was a direct result of the failed healthcare system in the US. When healthcare isn't free, a lot of folks just can't afford it. By the time he could afford it, he was already an addict.

My sister met Jean Claude Van Dam before he became famous. He used to come on a small time local cable TV station she worked at to show off his martial art moves.

My stepdad, Terry Gustafson, was in India at the same Ashram with the Beatles. My stepdad was a park ranger and was there in his khaki uniform and crew cut in contrast to the Beatles colorful robes and long hair. John Lennon kept on telling him he didn't belong/fit in (in a friendly way) and that he should Get Back, you just need to Get Back. My stepdad is from Tuscon Arizona. (Jojo was a man from Tuscon Arizona...) There is a new movie on Britbox about the Beatles and their time in India. He watched it and was in about three of the photos shown in the movie.

I was having a really crappy day, and this guy plows right into me. I shoved him hard, "What is your problem?!!!" This was the first and last time I ever angrily shoved someone. Turned out his problem was he was literally being chased by a throng of adoring fangirls, like a scene straight out of the '50's. I didn't quite have time to apologize to Corey Haim.
