And while many of these interactions - whether at concerts or comic cons - are often planned, nothing is more surprising than randomly encountering a famous person. NBC / Via giphy.com That's why when I recently decided to ask the BuzzFeed Community to tell me about their most random interactions with famous people, I was not disappointed! From Paul Rudd to Winona Ryder, here are 19 "regular" people's most memorable celeb encounters: Note: BuzzFeed cannot confirm the validity of these stories. These individuals are supposedly speaking from their own experiences.

Paul Rudd: Mike Lawrie / Getty Images "I have a friend who's a movie critic, and over the years, he became friends with Paul Rudd. Well, my friend group used to have a movie club where we'd meet at someone's house, and the host would force us to watch bad movies of their choice. My critic friend showed us The Room YEARS before it became a cult classic. After watching it, I asked our friend how he even knew about it, and he replied, 'Paul Rudd told me to show it to you guys.' I angrily replied, 'You can tell Paul Rudd to go f*ck himself!' My friend whipped out his phone and texted Paul, who thought it was hilarious. Fast forward a few years, and that same friend was hosting an advance screening of Role Models, and Paul was there for a Q&A. Afterwards, my friend introduced all of us to Paul by saying, 'This is Friend A, this is Friend B, and this is [me]. She's the one who told you to go f*ck yourself after watching The Room.' Paul burst out laughing and shook my hand. I can't remember what he said after that because I was so embarrassed to have that be my introduction to a celebrity, but at least it was memorable.(I've met Paul again since then, and he's just as lovely in person as you'd expect.)"-Anonymous 2. Brendan Fraser: Jemal Countess / Getty Images "I bonded over onion rings with Brendan Fraser at LAX. He offered me one of his, but I declined and ordered my own. We talked about travel, life, and onion rings for about 15 minutes. It wasn't until he got up to catch his flight that I looked him in the eye and realized who I had been talking to. One of my favorite conversations of all time, and I got the sense that he is genuinely a wonderful person."-u/Shoehorse13 3. Keanu Reeves: Jemal Countess / Getty Images "Bumped into Keanu at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. He was waiting in line like everyone else. This happened 18 years ago, before cell phones had cameras. He came over to my wife, put his arm around her, and said, 'I knew you were trying not to ask,' and I snapped a quick picture. Thirty minutes later, the paparazzi chased him out.
Two weeks later, while still in Paris, my wife went to Starbucks, and Keanu got in line behind her. She asked him, 'Are you stalking me?' He chuckled and said, 'Well, we will always have Paris.' It was so cool!"-u/Wrong-Nail2913 4. Rainn Wilson: Taylor Hill / Getty Images "I think this certainly qualifies as random: I was in line at a Fan Expo to have my pic taken with Brad and Janet from The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon). I'm a huge fan. I was dressed as Magenta, and only one spot away from my turn! Then, Rainn Wilson came bursting through the curtain, apologizing sincerely to me and the other people at the front of the line. He proceeded to grin while having his picture taken with 'Brad and Janet.' He then quickly repeated his apologies and ducked back through the curtain to head to the line of people waiting to take photos with HIM. It was totally unexpected and so lovely to see a celebrity geeking out and being excited to meet people who are his heroes, too!"-Anonymous, 54, Colorado 5. Fran Drescher: Rodin Eckenroth / Getty Images "I had the pleasure of meeting Fran Drescher at Schiphol airport in Amsterdam in the late '90s. She and her then-husband, Mark Peter Jacobson, arrived the day before Queen's Day, a huge celebration in the Netherlands. I was departing. At the time, I was buying chocolate at a kiosk when I heard a very distinct voice say, 'No, not those, the ones where the cute little guy is looking (I'm a little over 5 feet tall).'As I turned around, Mr. Jacobson was reaching for the same chocolates. I remarked to him that the woman sounded just like Fran Drescher. He said, 'It is. Would you like to meet her? She loves her fans!' She couldn't have been more ch
