‘Bruce Willis owes my father $20’
35 of the Funniest Random Celebrity Encounters

It’s a little bewildering to have encounters with people who, for all intents and purposes, live inside of our TVs. Yes, celebrities are “real people,” but it’s hard to see them as such when they seem so above the mundane. Fortunately, Reddit exists, and people can detail the funny, wild or incredibly random experiences they’ve had with famous people. And as it turns out, they are kinda like us — Bruce Willis isn’t above owing someone $20, Tom Green was a weird teen and even Seth MacFarlane has had his car towed. 

Along those lines, here are Redditors’ most memorable run-ins with the rich and famous. And while some of them are enviable, I think we’ll all be glad we didn’t share a urinal with Sting.
