At the end of the day, celebrities are just like us — which is why it makes sense that we encounter them living their normal lives, every once in a while.
Seeing your favorite celebrity can be anxiety-inducing, disappointing, fulfilling — as well as a wide array of other emotions.
So for those of you who can't get enough celebrity encounter tales, here are even more wild encounters that everyone needs to read.
