Fans Share Stories Of Celebrity Encounters That Turned Out Better Than Expected

I didn't know how badly I wanted to take a shot with Leonardo DiCaprio until this very moment.

Officially adding this to my bucket-list.

I can now rest assured that Jimmy Fallon is just as loveable in person as he is on his late night show. It's not an act, he really is just that amazing.

Lady Gaga is such a pure soul. This just made my day.

A five-year-old boy named Grant was invited on stage at Demi Lovato's concert, where he proposed to her, and she said yes!

I don't think meeting a celeb could go any better than this.

If you get the chance to meet the real life Fonzie, I envy you.

If you're too young to have ever watched Happy Days, you really missed out.

But if not, then need I say more? Henry Winkler was cool then, and he's still cool now.

She is goals.

If it were me — with my luck — I'd be eating something really lame and basic, like chicken nuggets, or grilled cheese, and the late, great, Anthony Bourdain would've been like "yeah, no thank you."

Kelly Clarkson really does seem like the kind of nurturing, kindhearted person you'd want to give you a hug.

I love to hear about celebrities going above and beyond what is expected of them when they're doing meet and greets with fans. This one is especially sweet, given the circumstance!

He was one of the greats!

I'm going to go watch Flubber now and cry.

First of all, I love that he told someone to "[expletive] off" and then proceeded to take a photo with his grandmother.

Secondly, I love that the grandmother told Danny to take his hat off for the photo. What a gem.

It's nice to know that all the fame and riches hasn't gone to Gina's head yet, and that she's still as down to earth as ever, treating everyone with the same respect.

If you're a fellow Star Trek fan, or Trekkie, then you know how bit of a deal this is.

This is major.

Stevie Wonder is a living legend. I would be lying if I said I wasn't incredibly jealous of this girl getting to meet him.

Dolly is a national treasure, I don't care. Being in her presence is the real American dream.

These girls were definitely not expecting Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland to be in the next room while they were probably butchering one of her songs, let alone to come say hello and sing along with them.

I'm screaming. This is the greatest story.

Very interesting and memorable choice of pose. I'm going to start posing like this in all of my Instagram photos from now on.

Can I put in a request to all airlines that I be seated next to a celeb, instead of someone who likes to use the bathroom a lot and hogs the armrest?

I would probably faint if Lana Del Rey saw me in person, and knew who I was because she had seen me on social media. Then she would probably unfollow me because I'd be that chick who fainted on her that one time.

How thoughtful of Bryan Cranston to strangle a fan for a photo. What a courteous gesture!

But in all seriousness, this is amazing. Breaking Bad fans will understand.

“I met Shaq at the Cheesecake Factory in Sacramento shortly after he invested in the Kings. It was my brother’s birthday, and he said, ‘What?! Happy birthday little man!’ and shook his hand. Then he said, ‘Hey! Get my new friend here some cheesecake!’ He shook the rest of our hands and went on his way. Incredibly nice guy. And huge.” a fan told People Magazine.

Baseball is a big thing in Cleveland. But I'm sure not everybody watches it. How awkward would it be if Tom Hanks sat down with you and started talking about baseball and you couldn't add anything to the conversation?

Luckily that didn't happen to this person, and they got to have the most beautifully candid moment with Tom Hanks ever.
