It’s not everyday that you meet a celebrity.
A viral tweet from user Joey a.k.a. @gothamhiphop, which simply asked, “What’s your favorite interaction you’ve had with a celebrity?” has ignited a global conversation about people’s most memorable run-ins with the elite of the world.
The tweet, which includes a candid photo of Adam Sandler backed by men in suits, was inspired by the user's own experience with the actor. "Awkwardly walked by a pool where it was just Adam Sandler and his kid and no one else," he wrote in a separate tweet. "I didn't say anything but I'm pretty sure we made eye contact."
The replies to the tweet include interactions with actors, singers, rappers, and athletes. The range of those encounters go from heartwarming and hilarious to shocking and controversial.
While the responses are all fun and games, it's also important to take these accounts with a grain of salt because it would be impossible to corroborate each individual claim. Despite the glitz and glamour that comes with their status, celebrities are still real people who have human experiences like the rest of us.
