When it comes to meeting celebrities, some people get extremely excited. They want to take pictures with them, shake their hand, and tell them how much they admire their work. Most celebrities are used to this and are happy to spend a few minutes talking with their fans. You’ll also get stories about celebrities who aren’t as understanding and would rather be left\ alone. But luckily for all of us normal people, the vast majority of people who spend their lives in the limelight don’t mind saying hello.
Of course, then there are the times when celebrities take it up a notch and do something really ridiculous. They might strike a pose or even photobomb someone from the background. After all, they take thousands of pictures with fans — they have to find a way to keep it interesting!
So, remember, the next time you run into a celebrity and want a picture, you might not get the one you were planning on! But just run with it and enjoy. Even if the picture is ridiculous, you’ll always have a hilarious memory. You’ll think of it every time you see that celebrity on the big screen. They might have an Oscar, but they made a duck face with you!
1. Nicholas Cage looks like he had a rough day.
This poster said that when he ran into Nicholas Cage at a restaurant, the encounter was friendly …. But also, a little weird. Cage bought him a bottle of champagne, which was nice. Then he insisted that he wear his glasses while they took his picture, resulting in this hilariously awkward photo.
We’re going to assume it was just a trick of the camera angle and Murray wasn’t actually staring at this lady’s chest. Unfortunately, it really does look like he is. The poster said her aunt took the picture and only took one, so there are no better ones — just Bill Murray seemingly ogling her chest.
3. What would Morgan Freeman narrate about those sweat stains?
This unfortunate poster had a bit of a meltdown when he had the opportunity to take a picture with Morgan Freeman … physically, that is. There’s no hiding those massive sweat stains. To his credit, Freeman doesn’t look fazed. After all, he’s a professional; he’s prepared for anything.
This guy looks so much like Adam Sandler, you have to look to figure out who is who. Believe it or not, after the fan posted on Reddit about their similarities, Sandler paid for him to fly out for the premiere of his film “The Do-Over”. Now, do they need any more stunt doubles?
There are celebrities, and then, of course, there’s royalty. These two young ladies were just taking a selfie when a pretty important person struck a smile in the background. That’s none other than Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of England, in case you didn’t know. I wonder how long it took them to notice?
No one wants to have their phone grabbed out of their hand by a stranger. Unless, of course, that stranger is a famous movie star who wants to take a picture together. In that bizarre moment, this girl recovered enough to smile for a photo with Daniel Radcliffe, of “Harry Potter” fame.
There are also days when even celebrities get a little overwhelmed. Kanye West did not look happy about taking a photo with these two enthusiastic fans. When you take dozens of photos every time you walk out your front door, it’s bound to get a little tiring.
8. This falcon doesn’t look impressed to meet Ed Sheeran.
Every celebrity has some pretty interesting fans. Apparently, Ed Sheeran’s include this massive bird of prey. The two of them decided to take a selfie together with matching intimidating expressions. We’ll be waiting for a fantastic new ballad from Sheeran about his falcon friend. Okay, or maybe not.
Benedict Cumberbatch is known for some pretty serious dramatic roles, but he’s actually a very friendly, exuberant person. When it comes to his fans, he loves to take pictures and be silly. At this event, he was happy to take a selfie with some fans and a big, goofy smile.
Robert Pattinson started out playing the character Cedric Diggory in the “Harry Potter” franchise, then moved on to “Twilight”, a series he openly hated. These days, he’s got more freedom with the roles he takes on, and people are learning that he is actually a very talented actor. He struck a half-smile for this fan’s photo at an event.
James McAvoy has some pretty dedicated fans. In the past, he’s given interviews telling the story of being propositioned by fans who got angry when he turned them down (he’s married, thank you very much). This fan didn’t want anything quite that extreme, but he still got a bit of an awkward response during their selfie.
12. Nice of Beyonce to let him take the lead on this one.
This poster says their friend ran into the queen of pop herself, Beyonce Knowles, in New Orleans. When he asked her if she’d be willing to take a selfie, she was happy to do so, but she told him: “Whatever face you make, I’ll make”. He chose this expression, and now he’ll have this photo to explain to his grandchildren.
When this guy ran into Tom Hanks in a bar, he decided to pretend he was blackout drunk on the famous actor. To Hanks’ credit, he played along: he let the stranger steal his glasses and pass out on the table. Then he took a hilarious photo pointing him out to everyone.
14. There’s nothing like meeting the real Spiderman.
Andrew Garfield was in Singapore back in 2014 for a fan meet event. With Spiderman gear everywhere, the superhero actually removed his mask and posed for some pictures with the fans. He was happy to strike a pose with this fan for a quick selfie.
15. This fan managed to tick off almost all the boxes.
When you’re a fan of a show, there’s nothing like getting a picture with an actor who stars in it. This lucky fan got even more: a selfie with practically half the cast of “Game of Thrones”. George R.R. Martin is even poking his head in to be a part of the action. The fan’s excited smile says it all.
16. Johnny Depp orchestrated a bewildering fan meeting.
Sometimes when you’re a famous actor known for playing an iconic role, you’ve got to just … put on your costume and walk around town, apparently. That’s exactly what Johnny Depp did in Queensland. Eventually, he ran into local police, who thankfully wasn’t after him for piracy. They just wanted to take a selfie.
This sandwich shop put up a sign that was just designed to give its customers a chuckle: “Liam Neeson eats here for free”. Joke or not, the “Taken” actor heard about the offer of free food and decided to show up. Then he struck a pose with the sign and a couple of employees.
His grandmother is the queen of England and the master of photobombs. Now Prince William is following in her steps. He popped into the selfie of these two schoolboys during a visit back in 2014. He still has a few things to learn from Grandma, but his photobombing game in on point.
When you find yourself at a fancy dinner and notice the celebrity faces around you, it can be easy to get overwhelmed. You can blush and giggle while you glance over, in awe of their celebrity status. You can walk up and ask for a picture. Or you can have a friend sneak a photo of the two of you without anyone knowing.
This fan had an interesting approach to taking a selfie with Samuel L. Jackson. As he clicked the shutter button, he told him to pose in a way that let everyone know how he felt about taking pictures with fans. The actor obliged with a look so withering, it was clear the fan had gotten what he wanted.
21. Rihanna was not feeling the selfie game that day.
As we said, celebrities have to take a lot of pictures and talk to a lot of people. They’re bombarded by fans every time they step out the door, so it only makes sense that even they sometimes get overwhelmed. This fan caught pop star Rihanna at the Superbowl, looking as though she didn’t want to be there.
22. Dinklage trolled this fan in the best way possible.
Peter Dinklage is known for his roles on shows like “Game of Thrones”. When this fan ran into him at an “X-Men” event and asked him for a photo, Dinklage complied — but decided they were going to take a selfie. The fan says he is 6 foot 6 … and Dinklage is a well-known 4 foot 4. Still, he was thrilled to take the selfie with the actor and just popped a squat for the photo.
This lady ran into Nicholas Cage on a flight and asked for a photo. What’s more, he was sitting in economy class! It’s good to see celebrities living like normal people sometimes, even though they have all the money they could possibly want. Cage looks pretty sleepy, though. Hopefully, he was able to take a nap after their selfie.
24. He just wanted to grab some snacks and some aspirin, guys.
Imagine running out to the drugstore and running into none other than Tom Hanks, one of the greatest actors of all time. Hanks is usually up for having a conversation with his fans, but he looks a little dubious in this photo. He was just trying to run some errands, not go on tour!
25. This is an unfortunate photo for the former president.
Bill Murray is one thing, but Bill Clinton is another: when this lady got a picture with the former president, the camera angle, unfortunately, made it look like he was ogling her chest. That’s awkward, considering that Clinton is widely known for his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
This woman was out having dinner at a casual restaurant when she glanced over at the next table and did a double take. It just so happened that former president Barack Obama was also out enjoying a bite. Happily, he didn’t mind pausing his meal to snap a quick photo with her.
We really want to know the story behind this amazing photo of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. It looks like this young man was already snapping a selfie when the Rock just happened to be passing by. With typical enthusiasm, he swung around at the moment the picture was taken and made this outrageous face.
Tom Hanks takes so many great photos with fans because he’s all about reflecting their energy. If they’re excited, he’s excited; if they want to strike a silly pose, he’s down to strike a silly pose. And, well, if they’re a crying baby, you can bet he’ll join in on the crying, too.
Luke Perry is a television and film actor who is known for shows like “Riverdale”, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Beverly Hills 90210”. This person is clearly such a big fan of his that they wanted to take a close picture … a very, very close picture. Perry is a very patient person to agree to take this one.
This couple decided to immortalize their happy day with a city photoshoot. Hilariously for them, someone just happened to be passing by and decided to hop in on the picture. Yes, that is Zach Braff of “Scrubs” fame, who now features front and center in their wedding album.
31. These fans got two X-men cameos for the price of one.
These fans just wanted a picture with Wolverine actor Hugh Jackman. To their surprise, another “X-Men” actor decided to hop in on the picture. Yes, that’s Sir Patrick Stewart, Professor X himself. Apparently, Charles Xavier is a fan of the photobomb.
Katy Perry might be beautiful and glamorous, but she’s still going to do this awkward dance at the prom. Perry snapped this photo with a fan in a glittering dress with a sparkly silver backdrop. Unfortunately, the fan wasn’t dressed for the occasion. He doesn’t even have a matching tie!
This enthusiastic fan asked Alfonso Ribeiro of “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” fame if he’d join him for his own iconic dance, “The Carlton”. Ribeiro responded by giving him a look that was both tired and amused. How many times do you think he’s been asked to do “The Carlton” with someone since the show’s beginning in 1990?
Fabio is the flaxen-haired, musclebound model who starred on the front of dozens of romance novel covers back in the day. When this fan ran into him at a store, Fabio was happy to sweep him off his feet. The fan does a good job of pretending to be a swooning young damsel in distress, too!
35. The singer is about to take flight in that wind.
A woman who was a big fan of Ed Sheeran ran into him on the street one day and asked him for a photograph. The “Perfect” singer agreed, but just as the shutter button clicked, a gust of wind took off. The singer looks pretty crazy with his hair standing on end.
It’s amazing what you’ll notice when you open your eyes and view the world from a different perspective. That’s what these people found out. Their comparison photos examining the differences and similarities between things will blow your mind.
By looking at two items beside one another, they made some pretty fascinating realizations. Sometimes, it has to do with landscape changes across different seasons. Other times, it is related to people. For example, the mom who matched her face up with her daughter’s and realized that they were pretty much identical twins.
In the moment, one might never notice these sorts of things, but viewing the photos side by side helps to provide contrast and prime our minds for new realizations. Once you see the images for yourself, you’ll understand what we mean.
This sign can be found at a ski resort in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The photos show what it looks like in the summer versus the winter. It makes you appreciate how much snow they really get out there.
The first photo is what the dog looks like on the way to the lake. The second photo is what he looks like on the car ride home. He is completely exhausted after a long day of playing!

This photo shows four different paintings made by each of the mom’s four kids. Upon turning five years old, the mom had each of them paint the same sunflower. Each of the kids represented the flower very differently.
This slide from a university class describes the differences between urban, suburban, and rural living. We never thought of our environment in the context of public nudity like this professor did, but there is definitely some truth to his arguments.
These pictures were only taken one week apart. It’s amazing how fast the leaves can change in the fall. They went from light green to a brilliant red within seven short days.
The top photo shows the dog’s expression when he was first adopted back in 2012. Now, years later, he is like a completely different dog. He is so much happier and full of energy.

We always knew that dolphins were incredibly intelligent, but seeing a dolphin’s brain compared a shark’s is especially illuminating. It’s one of the most interesting science museum exhibits that we’ve ever seen.
We often forget that different species’ eyes work differently. For example, birds can see ultraviolet light, while humans can’t. Many parts of their life are much more colorful than ours.
This is an image of Berlin, Germany viewed from space at night. Before the fall of the Berlin Wall, each half of the city used a different type of lightbulb. It’s been over 25 years and the difference is still visible.
Want to know how big the trucks really are at quarries? Look no further than this photo. There is a full-sized school bus driving by the machines. It looks miniature in comparison.

This is the world’s smallest computer sitting next to a grain of rice. If you were to look at the computer with your naked eye, it would be barely visible. That’s how incredibly complex computer technology is getting these days.
Here we have a “side by side comparison of the papal thrones for Benedict XVI and Francis”. One is very luxurious and the other is not. Both pictures were taken on the day that the men were appointed pope.
On the left is Barcelona, Spain in the daytime. It is lined up with a photo of the same part of the city at night. It’s pretty cool. The nighttime shot looks like the city is on fire.
Wolfdogs have a lot of variation based on the percent of each species that they have in their genome. One is 98% wolf, while the other is only 40%. The 98% one looks a lot more mangy and wild.
The apartment on the left has smokers living in it. The blinds are completely stained yellow from the cigarettes. The apartment on the right is filled with non-smokers.
Human domestication of plants is really having a big effect on the plants’ properties. The first tomato is a modern one. The second was grown from 150-year-old seeds. It is a tomato in its natural state.
The happy face is when the owners are coming home. The sad face is when the owners are leaving. So much of a dog’s mood depends on the presence of the humans that they love.
Here we have another great reason to stop smoking. The ceiling tiles in the smoking room of the airport are disgusting in comparison to the ceiling tiles outside. We can only imagine what smokers’ lungs must look like.
This dog is super fun to be around at the beach. The pup is in her element. However, when she gets home and has to have her feet cleaned, her mood completely changes.
The candle on the left is what a normal candle looks like burning on earth. The one on the right is a candle burning in microgravity on the International Space Station. In low gravity environments, the flame doesn’t really rise at all.
This is actually just one photo. The photographer caught someone else’s flash in the shot while they were taking it. It made it so the snow only showed up in half of it.
These two friends are both 13 years old. However, their height couldn’t be more different. The one kid is practically a giant in comparison. It’s obvious that he hit puberty first.
The first photo was taken in front of a liquor store. The second was taken at an eye surgery center. It turns out, both parking lots are frequently visited by people who have trouble driving safely.
Different cat breeds can vary a lot in size. For example, here we have a Maine Coon and an American Shorthair cat. The one cat could literally eat the other one.
These two were photographed while taking a nap together. The photo at the start of the nap is pretty normal. However, as the nap goes on, they both get more and more comfortable.
In 1990, every electronic item had one purpose. Now, almost 30 years later, all you need is a smartphone. A smartphone has all of the capabilities of the old devices and more packed into one tiny pocket-sized device.
The photo on the left was taken on the woman’s wedding day. The photo on the right is when she met famous actor Rob Lowe. There is a big difference in her excitement levels.

The B-2 Bomber design was based on the shape of the Peregrine Falcon. The aerodynamic properties of the bird were modeled in the aircraft. It’s crazy how similar they look.
These pictures clearly illustrate the difference between moms and dads. The mom accompanies the toddler the whole way down the slide. The dad simply races to catch up.
The first image shows what the Arctic polar region used looked like. The second shows the same spot 103 years later. The ice caps and snow have all but disappeared.
This family has two skinny cats and one fat one. They let all three of them run around outside in the snow. Can you tell which tracks belong to the fat cat?
At Target, a pack of twelve pieces of chalk is being sold for 99 cents. At the college bookstore, it is priced at almost twelve dollars. That is one dollar per piece of chalk!
The one Corgi is very fluffy. The other has a smoother shorter-haired coat. It just goes to show that even within the same breed, dogs can be very different.
You definitely wouldn’t want to leave your boat sitting around all day at this dock. When the tide goes out, the scenery looks very different. The two photos were taken twelve hours apart.
This photo shows a human skeleton compared to a gorilla skeleton. They are surprisingly similar. Although, there are plenty of interesting differences as well.
This father and son photo proves that genetics isn’t always a clear cut thing. Just because your dad is short doesn’t mean you are going to be short, and vice versa. There are a lot of factors.
This person lives next to the ocean. The difference between the doorknob on the outside of their home versus the inside is pretty shocking. Saltwater is highly corrosive and ends up in the air and rain.
The women on the outside of the photo are women’s basketball players. In between them are the team’s cheerleaders. The height difference between the two groups is unbelievable.
This photo is fascinating. It shows the different claw sizes of various types of animal. The most interesting part is how harpy eagle claws are almost as big as the bear claws.
In this comparison, we see an elephant foot versus a human foot. It’s pretty surprising. The elephants actually have bones like we do. However, they are buried deep underneath many layers of soft cartilage.
This is what a bee stinger and needle look like under a microscope. The needle is fatter and more pointed. The bee stinger is much more slender with a serrated edge.

On the left is what Norwegian soldiers looked like 75 years ago. On the right is what they look like now. They went from a jacket, a hood, and a handgun to full-on tactical gear.
In this photo, we can see the massive difference between types of light bulbs. On the left, the streetlights use new LEDs, whereas, on the right, they are the old kind.
Here we have a sign comparing Japan’s highest bridge to the height of Godzilla. It is a weird comparison to make, but also hilarious. We think that all heights should be measured in comparison to Godzilla.

After hurricane Florence hit a few years ago, the damage was immense. Just have a look at this before and after picture of a street in Surf City, North Carolina. The surrounding landscape and roads basically didn’t exist afterward.
The weather changes quickly in Utah. That’s what these images show. One day, everything is completely covered in snow, and the next, it is completely melted off. It’s pretty crazy.
In Girls’ Life magazine, all they talk about is hair, fashion, and beauty. In Boy’s Life magazine, it’s more about career planning and science. It’s certainly a big difference.
“Whenever somebody posts a photo of the Milky Way, people invariably ask ‘is that how you see it with the naked eye?’. Here’s a representation of what you do see compared to what comes out of the camera,” the photographer explains. The moral of the story is that the night sky is best viewed in person!

This one is a comparison between a Tyrannosaurus Rex foot and an emu foot. The dinosaur’s foot is a lot bigger, but structurally, they look about the same. Birds are closely related to the ancient reptiles.
The set of stairs that is crumbling was built out of stones in 1829. The nicer set was built in 2005 from cement. We can clearly see how things have changed over time.
In the front, we can see the Titanic. In its heyday, it was celebrated for its incredible size. Yet, it is just a fraction of the size of the modern cruise ships today. Behind the Titanic is a picture of the largest cruise ship that currently exists.
On the top is a photo of a normal day in California. On the bottom is what the same view looks like when all of the wildfires are burning. The recent fires in the state are a huge cause for concern.

This photo shows the volume difference of a small versus a medium orange juice at McDonald’s. The most interesting part? There is essentially no difference…
These door handles show how many right-handed people there are at the school compared to left-handed people. The door on the right gets a lot more use. Although, part of that is because it is also a social norm to enter through the right.
This diagram shows “Russia and Bangladesh’s sizes compared to their population”. Bangladesh actually has more people living in the country than Russia. However, its total land area is tiny in comparison.
There is a giant market for toy lightsabers and the quality varies significantly. On the left is a lightsaber that costs $10. On the right is one that costs $400.
He’s a husband and father first, but he’s also a funny comedy video creator. This New Zealand dad creates entertaining videos that get lots of hits because they’re downright hilarious. Jordan Watson shares parenting tips and tricks on his youtube page, with a great tongue in cheek style, that other dads (or anyone who takes care of kids) can relate to. Each video has his comedic sense of humor with a deadpan delivery, as he parodies the “how-to” videos that are popular on the internet.
Jordan Watson, from Aukland, New Zealand is a part-time landscaper, full-time dad, and viral video creator.
His first video was just a goof he put together when he was left alone with his baby, Alba. The video is titled, “How to Hold a Baby” and is currently at 3.7 million views. And that’s not even his most-watched video.
In an interview with Stuff, Watson still can’t believe the video went viral overnight,
“It was just me cutting together, in my eyes, crap – just me being an idiot and thinking that one guy at work’s going to like it.”
“Every parent can kind of relate, and there’s so many people out there who’re aunties, uncles, they look after people’s kids… It’s just everyday scenarios with kids which has given me the inspiration for it.”
Jordan always wears his trademark shirt and shorts or as they’re called in New Zealand, Togs.
In this video, which currently has over four million views, Jordan offers his own witty advice on how to put a baby to sleep. He lists and demonstrates a number of techniques, all with a deadpan delivery that only Jordan can muster.
Some examples are “The Hypnotist,” where dad dangles a nearby toy in front of the baby and coaxes her to sleep.
The funny thing about this video is that the real star is not Jordan.
No, it’s his baby daughter, Alba. She is such an integral part of the humor, because nearly every time Dad tries his methods, they work. The little one lays down to go to sleep, and her comedic timing is perfect. Dad administers the technique, Alba listens, and then to our rousing laughter, she complies. Leaving Jordan to say,
“It’s never really that easy.”
In Stuff, Jordan had this to say about his daughter,
“I think if you take Alba the cute baby out of it, they’re not going to do very well – it’s definitely 99 percent her, 1 percent me.”
Get ready to laugh with this video. And prepare to go down the rabbit hole as “How To Dad,” Jordan Watson, has an ever-growing collection of funny videos. He feeds his followers a video a week, and probably feeds his charming family with the proceeds.
All in, he’s a really great husband and father, enjoy his funny “how-to” below!
So when one restaurant in Thailand opened its doors for the first time in months, they had some obstacles to overcome.
Maison Saigon, a Vietnamese restaurant in Bangkok, originally planned on having only one chair at each table to promote social distancing according to Insider.
But that just wasn’t cutting it.
When the owner, Natthwut Rodchanapanthkul, saw what the restaurant looked like with only one chair per table, he wasn’t satisfied.
He told reports at Reuters, “Earlier we had only one chair for the tables where the customer came alone. But for me, it felt strange, so I thought I’d give them some company.”
But how do you give someone company at a table when you aren’t supposed to be anywhere near each other?
One customer told Reuters, “The doll makes me feel less lonely eating by myself.”
Another customer explained that the stuffed animals not only improved the vibe of the place, but it made seating arrangements more clear as well.
He told reporters, “It’s a lot easier to understand compared to other restaurants where people always get confused about where to sit and end up sitting too close to each other.”
