Celebrities are just regular people, but with glamourous jobs. Right? So no big deal if you date one... right?

Well, before they become famous, maybe. Because most celebs aren't born as stars and before they rose to fame they dated the regular people. Some of those people are spilling the beans on Reddit about what it was like to date celebrities before they became famous and turns out, they're just regular people. Shocker!

    Text - NardClump 28.5k points · 6 months ago My mom had a dinner date with George Clooney in the 90's. She didn't really say much apart from the fact that he's an interesting and charismatic guy but she honestly didn't think he was going to blow up.

    Text - andyjams 21.6k points · 6 months ago My aunt lived down the street from Leonardo Dicaprio when she was a kid. He was her first kiss (she was 12, he was 13, it was behind the school gym). Apparently he was a really nice kid. She moved away before he started landing roles, totally lost touch.

    Text - throwawaySPB 268 points · 1 year ago I went on two dates with Emilia Clarke about 5-6 years ago. Really witty! And really sweet. Things didn't work out between us (obviously) but god I wish they did.

    Text - Text - juno-f 201 points 1 year ago My Mum turned down Brad Pitt in a bar in Ireland. He had just landed his role in Thelma & Louise so was only really known for his Levi ad but my Mum didn't know who he was. He asked to buy her a drink and she declined. He told her about being the Levi model and she awkwardly declined again. She really regrets it now. (Oh and she turned him down because he had really bad acne which she feels bad about now but she was 19 at the time)

    Text - Text - eveisannoying 15.4k points 6 months ago edited 6 months ago I have a family friend who dated Daniel Radcliffe. I was seven at the time they dated, and a huge Harry Potter fan. I don't remember much aside from the fact that he was a really sweet guy. On my 8th birthday, my family friend told Daniel it was my birthday and he texted me a personal happy birthday message despite never having met me. Absolutely made it the best birthday ever.

    Text - Text - s-exorcism 2.6k points · 6 months ago My friend's sister in law was out jogging when some other random dude came up and jogged with her and talked with her about random stuff like the movie being filmed nearby at the time for a bit. After a bit of that, he said, "Oh, by the way, I hope you like the movie." They were filming The Force Awakens and she only realized later that it was Harrison Ford.

    Text - WellNobodyToldMe 293 points 1 year ago A friend of mine's Mom was a student at Boston College in the late 80s or early 90s. She and her friend went on a double date with two guys their age. The whole date, they talked about a script they had written and how it was going to be their ticket to the big time. Afterwords, her and her friend decided that the two guys were pretentious and kind of annoying. Those two guys were Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. The script? Good Will Hunting.

    Text - Text - supabass18 492 points · 8 years ago I dated Jennifer Lawrence in 2008. I met her in a yoga class in Santa Monica. I had no idea who she was when I met her, I just though she was cute and started talking to her. She said I must not watch a lot of TV, and she said she was on a crappy show on TBS. She ended up giving me a ride home from the class, and then I asked for her number. We went out a couple more times after that, but soon I learned that she was only 17 at the time. So that k
