Encountering a celebrity can be a very surprising and exciting experience. You get a peek behind the curtain at how celebrities live their lives when they're not in the spotlight. While some celebrities prove to be gracious, humble, and friendly in real life, others may actually be rather rude, entitled, or nasty.
Perhaps you were waiting in line at a coffee shop in New York City when a familiar voice behind you said, "Whatever you get, it's on me." You turned around, and there was Keanu Reeves! You were completely star-struck, but he was super down-to-earth and asked you your name and what you do. You chatted for a few minutes, he bought your latte, and he went on his way.
Maybe you ran into Chevy Chase while out to dinner at a nice restaurant. You started to tell him how much you enjoyed his comedy when he stuck his hand in your face and told you to leave him alone immediately.
Or, perhaps you were staying at the same hotel as Viola Davis and happened to briefly see her in the lobby. As you passed her, you told her what a fan you were of her work, and she stopped you and asked if you'd like to take a photo together. She started chatting with you all about the weather and her favorite restaurants in the area. You were so touched by her kindness.
