24 Wholesome Stories Of Meeting B-List Celebrities
We asked the BuzzFeed Community to share their favorite stories meeting a lesser-known celebrity. We received submissions that feature Broadway performers, singers, actors, hosts, athletes, and models who took the time to create a memorable interaction with their fans. Here are a few of the responses: "I met Luke Wilson by chance once in 2009. I was in Southern California with my friends, and we were just cruising around from town to town checking out beaches. We didn't know where one was and saw a couple pushing a stroller, and decided to ask for directions. While he was explaining how to get to 'a pretty chill spot that feels like a private beach,' I kept thinking they looked so familiar. As we all piled in the car and yelled, 'Thanks, man,' it clicked. I snapped my fingers and pointed at him, smiling as we started to pull away. He just snapped his fingers and pointed right back, giving me that unmistakable smile. You could tell he loved just being asked for directions and not being recognized because the first look he gave us when we got his attention was an 'alright I'll sign an autograph and take a pic' look, but his face lit up when we just asked for directions!" —Anonymous "I met Franke Grande in the lobby of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in 2018. He was very friendly and took a photo with me." —Anonymous, 34, NJ "I was a 14-year-old summer intern in 2001 at a local radio station in Delaware when I met Kurt Angle. He and Stacy Keibler were in town for an autograph signing, and somehow, I ended up sitting next to him. He was so sweet and kind, he wanted to know about my school and my interests, and he was so encouraging about me pursuing a military career. He even let me wear his Olympic ring, which took up three of my tiny fingers. I know he's suffered a lot with injury and addiction, I truly hope he's OK. He's definitely one of the good ones." —jmoney1217 "I met Alison Hammond (UK TV presenter) on the makeup floor of my local department store. She was so lovely, she called my friend and me beautiful and took selfies with us, love her!" —Anonymous, 34, Staffordshire UK "On a New Year's Day flight back to the states from Belgium in 2011, I ran into T.J. Thyne, who played Dr. Jack Hodgins on Bones, which was really popular at the time. He was by himself, and I originally noticed him in line behind me at customs. When I discovered we were in the same terminal, I went looking for him. I found him in line for smoothies. He was so kind, chatted with me about my travel plans, and took a photo with me. He even let my friend take multiple photos to make sure I had a shot that I liked. He was so down-to-earth and made my day!" —coolfan188 "When I was 5, my mom took me to a Mr. Dressup live show (think Mr. Rogers, but Canadian!). Afterwards, we saw a few families waiting by the stage door for him to come out, and she decided we should join them. After waiting a few minutes and noticing that all the kids had flowers to give him, I realized I didn't have anything. So I ran outside and gathered up some autumn leaves. When he came out, he took time to sign autographs and talk with each child individually, but when he came to me, I was so overcome with emotion that I burst into tears. And he was SO kind. He accepted my leaves with the same excitement as if I'd given him some grand present. He signed my cassette tape (this was wayyyy back in 'the late 1900s,' lol), and someone took a photo of him and me, which I still cherish." —leahm491b1c910 "Lucky Blue Smith, the famous model married to Nara Smith. I went to church with their family when they were young. Nicest family EVER, so down-to-earth and genuine." —Anonymous "I met Dee Wallace backstage after a play (Annie Get Your Gun) at Kansas City's Star Light Theater. She was such a down-to-earth, friendly person! She talked to me for several minutes and signed my program. Not once did she act like she was in a hurry or had better things to do. I was about 23 at the time, and was absolutely smitten. I've never forgotten my encounter with her." —slyarcher446 "My husband and I were visiting friends in Beverly Hills, California, back in the late '70's. I don't recall why she was there, but Terri Garr was one of the guests. She was much more beautiful than she looked onscreen. She was charming, intelligent, funny, gracious, and self-effacing. She was a natural-born comedian. This rag-tag group spent the entire day eating, sunning, and lots of laughing. She is one of the loveliest 'famous' people I've met over the years. I was deeply saddened by her death. There was a very funny quote of hers written in one of the many articles I read following her death. She famously said, 'I've spent my entire life clawing my way to the middle.' Very Terri!" —messymagazine835 "I've met a member of Celtic Thunder and he is an absolute gem. Not only does he have a great voice, but he's nice, cares about his fans (the best he can, because he's busy), and is willing to stay until everyone gets their pictures." —Anonymous, 39, US "I grew up in '70s Los Angeles and got used to seeing location shoots for TV and movies. As a kid, I always begged my parents to stop so I could watch and get autographs. One night, on the way home from a Cub Scout meeting, we saw the studio lights in front of a hospital, and my parents stopped so I could watch. We were standing there while they were filming when James Garner and Noah Berry ran through the front doors pushing a man on a gurney. After the take, the two walked back up the driveway, and Mr. Garner sat in a chair right next to me. He saw me staring and said, 'Hello! Who are you?' I stuttered my name. He then started asking about me and all the pins and badges on my uniform. I was able to get his autograph. The best part came a little while later, after another take. Again, he was sitting next to where I was standing. Another man from production was there too. Mr. Garner saw me, put his arm around my shoulders, and introduced me as his friend!" —parkerholsters "Jennifer Knapp is one of the kindest, funniest people/celebrities I've ever met. I haven't met many, but she was an absolute delight. She chatted with me for a while before her show. I met her while she was on tour with Derek Webb, and he was equally delightful. It was surreal meeting her because my bestie and I used to scream-sing her albums in our dorm and dream of singing with her someday." —micahdr "Me and my mom went to see the band Chicago (we loved playing their songs during road trips). She paid a decent amount of money to get a picture with them, and she was stoked. Fast forward a year, and they were doing a concert in California. We went to the concert, but didn't spend too much money this time. We went back to the hotel (not a fancy one or anything), and one of the main band members was enjoying a drink at the bar. My mom sat next to him, and they sat for hours talking. He ended up adding her on Facebook and hooking her up at future concerts. My mom passed away two years ago this month from brain cancer. Before she died, she was still able to attend one last concert. It was so awesome, and it's such a cool memory." —puertorican "I met Peter Facinelli (Carlisle from Twilight). He was so nice! I was probably 11 at the time, and told him he was much more handsome in person, and he laughed and said thank you. Seemed super down-to-earth and easy to talk to." —Anonymous, 23, Romeoville, IL "My favorite actor is the criminally underrated Toby Schmitz, probably best known for Black Sails and Boy Swallows Universe. Back in 2017, he appeared in an all-Australian production on Broadway called The Present starring Cate Blanchett. I convinced my sister to go see it with me, and to my everlasting delight, she and I met him on the street before the show. He seemed genuinely surprised that I approached him and told him I was a fan, and he was so incredibly nice. That would have been amazing on its own, but after the show, once the crowd at the stage door left after Cate Blanchett, he came out. Though I'm sure he was exhausted and just wanted to go to bed, he took more time to take pics, signed my program, and just chatted with us. Still my favorite actor and always will be, I wish more people knew his work!" —Anonymous, 43, West Yorkshire "I used to work at a nightclub that would bring in all the reality and UFC stars. Jersey Shore's Snooki, Vinny, and Ronny were all awesome. They all knew they were reality stars with 15 minutes of fame and were smart enough to realize being kind and respectful offscreen was the best way to make it last. They all spoke to staff like they were one of us and were more than happy to take pics and chat. Vinny and Ronny showed up before the club opened and palled around with us while we set up for the evening. Cool dudes. Snooki was SWARMED by fans. The way security had to protect her, you'd think the Queen of England was at the club. Security said she was super sweet and a delight to talk to." —Anonymous, 37, Edmonton, Canada "Kyle Chandler (Coach Taylor from Friday Night Lights) used to come to my job in Los Angeles almost every Tuesday morning when he wasn't filming (I don't want to say what it was, but it was a small, open-to-the-public, niche sport). They say don't meet your heroes, but they've never met Kyle Chandler! If I hadn't seen his driver's license, I would've wondered if he was just a doppelganger. He never asked for special treatment, was always polite, kept to himself, and never left a mess. I respected him even more for that. The staff never let on that we knew who he was, and no one bothered him, so I hope he felt safe there." —Anonymous, 39, Los Angeles "When I was a kid, my dad and I used to listen to The Thrilling Adventure Hour, this podcast that I absolutely loved. Specifically, I loved this one recurring segment: Sparks Nevada, Marshall on Mars. Sparks was played by Marc Evan Jackson, and the cast had a meet and greet one night in LA. My dad and I went, and I had drawn a picture for 'Sparks' with an inside joke from the show. I was so nervous, and was a pretty shy kid, but he joked along with me about my drawing in character, and the other cast members told me it was amazing. All of them signed my copy of the comic that the event was for, and Marc wrote 'thanks for the awesome comic' right in the front. I went from nervous to over the moon that my idol had taken and liked my drawing for him! Looking back, he was just so sweet and friendly, and now whenever I see or hear him in other work, I always get so happy. I just love the guy!" —Anonymous, 18, CA "I met Demian Bichir (Hateful Eight, Weeds) when he was a guest speaker in a class at UC Berkeley. After class, he stayed and spoke with the students and took photos. He shook my hand, gave me a hug, and asked my name and about the class. He was so unbelievably lovely, kind, and genuine. He's a wonderful actor and human!" —Anonymous, 36, California "I met Jamal Murray, the point guard for the Denver Nuggets, at the airport the other day. He's my favorite player, so I was actually wearing his jersey by coincidence. I went over and said hi and thanked him for a good season. He was super nice and dapped me up. I thought that was the end of it, but he actually turned around after I left and offered to take a selfie with me. It was really busy, so he really went out of his way to do that. He's my favorite player because I tore my ACL a few years after he did, and when I was in a really low place in my recovery, I watched him in the 2023 finals. The fact that he was able to recover so well from his injury was really inspirational for me. It's so sick that he's actually really nice in person, too!" —Anonymous, 22, Colorado "A radio DJ announced the 100th birthday of June Lockhart a few days ago, and I was reminded of this incident that happened to my husband about 20 years ago. He flew for a major airline and sometimes had celebrities on his flights. June Lockhart was one of them. When she boarded, she introduced herself to the flight crew, although my husband recognized her. She then introduced herself to everyone in first class. She also stood in the doorway with my husband during deplaning at the destination and said goodbye to the passengers! My husband said she was delightful and he enjoyed meeting her." —Anonymous, 68, Atlanta, GA "I don't know if he counts as a lesser-known celebrity, but Fred Armisen. I was an extra on Portlandia, and there was a skit where I wasn't needed, so I sat in a different room with a few other extras, and later on, Fred Armisen joined us. I'm not sure if he's normally this way or if he was still in character, but he was very soft-spoken. He asked us to introduce ourselves and asked us how we liked being extras on the show. Then we just talked about the show and Portland, and he was so attentive and seemed like he genuinely wanted to hear all of it. Later on, for a different skit, I was walking in the background outside the building. It was summer, so it was pretty hot outside. After a while, he came out to check on me and brought me a water bottle. He said if I needed a break, he would let the crew know. I would love to work with him again." —Anonymous, 31, Oregon "I met teo of the guys from Home Free (an a cappella group) in the Delta lounge at the Minneapolis airport. I was heading home for my parents' 50th anniversary, and they Home Free are their favorite musicians. So, I asked if they would be willing to do a little happy anniversary video for my parents, and they were happy to! They were so sweet. I was my parents' favorite for a long time after that gift." —Anonymous, 39, Hawaii "Back when I was in college in Toledo, OH, I was part of a campus group that brought entertainment and events to campus. One time, we brought horror film icon Tom Savini in to do a talk. We took him out to the legendary Tony Packo's for dinner. He was incredibly personable, but there's something memorably surreal about sitting in Tony Packo's, eating Hungarian hot dogs, and listening to Savini talk about horror movies." —Anonymous, 53, Ohio Have your own celeb story to share example to share?
