People on Twitter Share Their Weirdest Celebrity Interactions

When you really think about it, it's kind of strange how people obsess over celebrities, whether they're award-winning actor heart throbs, or popular musicians. It's easy to forget that they are humans, just like us. And humans are weird. Like, really weird. So it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that meeting the star of a Marvel movie might be less than explosive,. And it shouldn't be shocking that maybe that energetic musician you like is actually kind of quiet when chilling in the real world. We've all heard about celebrity photobombs or meet cutes. They're nice. But some of us want to hear about the bizarre times people interacted with celebrities. Twitter user @Hipstercrite expressed this desire very publicly on January 4th, 2022. 

"Tell me the strangest interaction you've had with a celebrity," she wrote to the Twitterverse. And boy, did they comply. The viral tweet inspired hundreds of replies and quote tweets, that range from very weird to not weird at all.

    First, Lauren sweetened the deal by sharing her own stories.

    Font - Lauren Modery O @Hipstercrite 1d Replying to @Hipstercrite Mine was befriending for a short stint a celebrity that was accused of murder. I won't use his name here b/c I once shared the story on my blog and someone left terrible comments that l'm sure were from him or his partner. He's very old now. 32 27 1 202 Lauren Modery O @Hipstercrite 1d Other stranger interactions: Jeremy Irons kind of maybe flirted with me? I'm not sure if it was flirtation or he's just really nice, but he seemed

    She wasn't as forthcoming as we'd like regarding the time she befriended a celebrity that was accused of murder. And honestly, we could do without the Jeremy Irons humblebrag. But that's just because we are jealous.

    Paco Romane literally picked up Weird Al.

    Font - Paco Romane ... @pacoromane Replying to @Hipstercrite At a comedy festival after-party I asked Weird Al if I could pick him up and he said yes but he's taller than me so I asked David Foley to help and he enlisted Bill Nye The Science Guy and Eugene Mirman to assist and by god we did it. 4:26 PM · 1/25/22 · Twitter for iPhone 18 Retweets 2 Quote Tweets 580 Likes

    But not without the help of David Foley, Bill Nye, and Eugene Mirman.

    @TalkingSchmidt had a "snowy" run-in with Sarah Palin.

    Line - Eric Schmidt @TalkingSchmidt · 11h Replying to @Hipstercrite ... My banner pic is with Sarah Palin. I was wearing a pro cocaine shirt that said "no snow, no show." Before the pic, asked what it meant. I said “it's a game of thrones reference" and she said “oh, I she knew that." O 11 27 38 1,216

    Apparently she's not very into Game of Thrones.

    Krist Novoselic of Nirvana seems cool.

    Font - Scat Mancrullers ... @chidaboomer Replying to @Hipstercrite ran into krist novoselic in 1993 in the french quarter - when asked if he was in fact himself he said something extremely nerdy like 'l am a ghost who shouts at shadows' (we went on a kurt cobain hunt after and found him in a daquiri shop with frances bean - he was cool) 5:30 PM · 1/25/22 · Twitter Web App

    "I am a ghost who shouts at shadows" sounds like something I'd write in my high school Livejournal.

    Font - Pete Stegemeyer @itspeterj Replying to @Hipstercrite Saw David Hyde Pierce smoking in front of his building and did a double take which he saw and assumed l'm about to ask him for a cigarette, so he just goes "yeah sure" and hands me one and lit it and I say thanks and keep going.

    This is more weird than unpleasant.

    Font - ASTRO @ASTROQ Replying to @Hipstercrite Sean Penn accidentally flicked ash in my face. He threw away his cigarette and apologised. He then immediately took another from behind his ear. He had one behind the other ear. Man had 3 cigarettes on his face. 3:28 AM · 1/25/22· Twitter Web App 12 Retweets 1 Quote Tweet 659 Likes

    What we really got from this is that Sean Penn should probably quit smoking.

    Damn.

    Font - Paul Bae O @MrPaulBae 22h Replying to @Hipstercrite Good strange: I was at a club & my friend invited me into her VIP area to meet her new bf: Wesley Snipes. Many years later he recognized me in a small role on his set. He majorly upgraded my role & paycheque to the director's chagrin. I still get money from it. Love that guy. 13 27 18 1,106 Paul Bae O @MrPaulBae · 22h He also let me choreograph my own death scene. I wasn't supposed to have a death scene. I got that sweet danger pay! 27 2

    This story about Wesley Snipes is way more wholesome than it is strange.

    Gross. But unsurprising because Gene SImmons.

    Font - maura quint @behindyourback Replying to @Hipstercrite Gene Simmons would not stop trying to convince me that his brand of condoms were the best for women. I had never spoken to him before and had only asked if he wanted a coffee while he waited for his meeting to start. 5:03 PM · 1/25/22 Twitter Web App 4 Retweets 2 Quote Tweets 309 Likes

    Sean Penn is weird as hell.

    Font - ErinSiobhan ... @ErinSiobhan Replying to @Hipstercrite Sean Penn and a person who appeared to be a manager or other person he had a business relationship with sat next to me at a restaurant. They ordered water and a single plate of mashed potatoes which they shared slowly and in near complete silence. It was so weirdly unsettling. 1:24 PM · 1/25/22 Twitter for iPhone 11 Retweets 3 Quote Tweets 456 Likes

    But to be honest, sharing a plate of mashed potatoes in silence sounds kind of cathartic.

    So, Bill Murray is amazing.

    Font - Knancy @FlippyO 4h Replying to @Hipstercrite Spent an afternoon with Bill Murray. My gf was living w/ one of his favorite camera people. So, he came over to watch the MLB playoffs w/ a bunch of lesbians. After the game, we went to their softball game. He shared his M&Ms w/ me, making sure I had at least one of every color. 236 Knancy @FlippyO 3h Also, it was windy at the softball field and he tried to block the wind for me. He seemed quiet and thoughtful. It was amusing, an afternoon of s

    Legendary.

    Font - Restoration Hardware Restauran... ... @ltsTheBrandi Replying to @Hipstercrite I guess when I made Prince give me cookies and comfort me after I hit my head on a table at his house. I was a toddler. 4:36 PM · 1/24/22 · Twitter for Android 6 Retweets 3 Quote Tweets 487 Likes

    While Prince giving a toddler cookies doesn't beat the blouses and pancakes story, it comes pretty damn close.

My 6 y.o. autistic son came over and started talking his ear off about German Shepherds, his obsession at the time. Andre talked to him about dogs for like 20 mins.
