No matter how much some people try to argue otherwise, we all secretly wish that our favorite celebrities and actors are just as nice in real life as they appear to be on TV.
As most have come to realize, this isn't always the case. But every once in a while, the universe rewards the faithful. Have a look below and check out these 15 celebrity encounters that are nothing short of wholesome and pure.
"In 2008, I was waiting to enter a concert venue in Detroit when I saw Emma Stone on her phone in the parking lot. She said that I was the first person to ask her for an autograph." - Twitter @MrsBiondotweets
I suppose since he no longer owns the rights to the franchise, that it's acceptable for George to peruse the Star Wars section while out shopping for books. Still, I can't help but think that this move was at least in some part, deliberate.
In fairness, who doesn't? Also, is there a more Larry David response to the question "How are you doing?" than "Well, I bought some new socks today!"?
I don't think so.
"Went to my favorite Ramen Spot in LA & was waiting to be seated & just outta nowhere, randomly sitting there just enjoying his ramen by himself was Keanu Reeves." - Twitter @SkillzVa

The day that Samuel L. Jackson joins Cameo is the day that I empty my bank account and give it all to him. There's no amount of money on earth that would keep me from getting a "Surprise, mother-[expletive]!" video from Mr. Jackson.
Twitter user @Suilebheinn claims to have once run into Benedict Cumberbatch while they were riding a 1st Class British Rail train. Apparently, Benedict was traveling with his family and was incredibly attentive to his young children.
First of all, what the heck is a cat cafe? It sounds amazing and I want one — now! I respect @Brokencinema_'s taste in superhero films, too. As far as my money is concerned, Ben Affleck is the best to ever don the cape and cowl.
Twitter user @MADinNYC was out for dinner with their grandmother when Adam Sandler sat down at the table beside them. After explaining who had just walked in, the grandmother loudly exclaimed, "Who is Adam Sandler?"
"I’m having dinner in a Chinese restaurant with a friend in D.C. after his softball game when a bunch of large men in suits walk in, followed by Jimmy Carter. He sees my friend’s uniform.

While Twitter user @tbirrer15 was living in L.A., they went around the corner to try a new vegan donut shop (only in L.A.). When they got to the front, they noticed a nice young man holding the door open for everyone — it was Harry Styles.
I was in my early 20s during EDM's North American invasion; oh what a time it was to be alive. For as long as I live, I will never be able to forget their one and only hit, "Party Rockin'" — no matter how hard I try.
According to Twitter user @BexB_84, she ran into Matthew Perry while they were both inside Millions of Milkshakes in L.A. @BexB_84 said that at the time, she was just tipsy enough to ask for a picture.
Why she was drunk in a milkshake hut during the middle of the day, we may never know.

"He’s genuine and loves his job. He wants his fans to have as much fun as he’s having. He can size up a fan and know how far to push/tease them to make them comfortable while not going too far. His personality is infectious, and I had a blast with him." u/eachdayisabattle
According to Jade0Knight, Turner was super nice and took a picture, and then even retook it when she noticed that Joe Jonas was in one of the photos, ruining the angle.
Now that's so sweet.
The same user noted that when McConaughey came into a bar, he was nice enough to talk to others and even buy everyone drinks!
mike5446g pointed out that he is exactly how you might assume he is based off his interviews and roles.
Weird, funny, and genuinely, genuinely very nice.
"Having met Hugh Laurie in person, I can confidently state that he is one of the nicest and most humble celebrities out there. Not only is he completely happy to interact with his fans, but he also does so in a way that makes each and every one of them." u/RamsesThePigeon
" I worked at Disneyland in the late 90’s and I saw him giving a tour to a group of about 25 kids. He was leading the tour and the Disney tour guide was just tagging along so I could tell he’d done this many times before." u/GenXer1977
"We were backstage waiting for her cue to go on started chatting. She told me how she was such a klutz and we joked around a bit. Then, when she was called on stage she tripped hard going up the stairs and face planted, then turned around to me and we both started laughing." u/menicknick
Maccas75 said that he gets the reputation of the cool guy because he actually is a cool guy.
Cool but also very down to earth and kind to this user who got to meet him.
"He came out and spoke to every single person who wanted to talk to him, which was an honestly enormous number of people, for hours. Instead of quickly taking a photo and signing a playbill for each person, he showed genuine curiosity about the people he met." u/Ecuadorable
d_handsoap, who was not only a fan, but also a neighbor, actually regularly received letters from the great Stan Lee.
If that doesn't warm your heart, I don't know what will.
-P-M-A- said that we don't need to worry. Tyler didn't make the fame go to his head. Not only is he very chill, but he was also very kind to people who were speaking to him.
