Here's what they had to say: Universal Pictures Note: Some submissions were pulled from this Reddit thread by user u/MellowStellow.

Disclaimer: We can't confirm 100% of these stories, but some of these people are supposedly speaking from their own experiences meeting celebrities. 1. Dolly Parton CBS Photo Archive / CBS via Getty Images "I met Dolly Parton twice while working at Dollywood. The first time we visited the park before the season started, she was shooting commercials. When we arrived that day, they had converted our shop into her dressing room, so we weren't allowed in at first. But when she found out, she let us in. There were buffet tables set up, and she told us to help ourselves, and that she didn't need all of that food anyway! In between takes, she talked to us about what we were doing, where we were going to college, what we were studying, and so on." "The second time was a year later, before the park opened. She was doing an interview with one of the local news stations up on the balcony of the big emporium shop. I was with a friend down below watching, and when it was over, Dolly leaned over the railing and yelled, 'HEY! I remember you! Stay right there!' She came downstairs, gave me a big hug, and asked how I was. That was one of the most surreal moments ever - a flipping legend like Dolly remembered me a year later."-u/BattlePriestess 2. Zendaya WWD / WWD via Getty Images "I met Zendaya at Disneyland when she was first starting out. I was 21 years old at the time, but I still knew who she was because Disney was always on in my house, and I thought it'd be cool to get a picture with her. Understandably, her security was pushing her through and trying to keep the fans away - Zendaya stopped her security and said, 'Look, nobody standing here would have a job right now if it wasn't for people like them watching the show and supporting me. I'd really like it if you'd let me have a few minutes with my fans to thank them. It's the least I can do.' It was really surprising (she was only 13 or 14 at the time, I think) and she took pictures with all of the fans who asked (including my group) - she even complimented my boots and hair. She was overall really gracious and nice, especially for a young teen who suddenly became 'famous' in the public eye." -kevinm41b9dbc63 3. Jim Carrey Frazer Harrison / Getty Images for RRHOF "Jim Carrey gave me a ride to the gas station after my car ran out of gas in Bel Air. I told him I was a huge fan of Ace Ventura, and I could mimic his laugh from the movie - we both had our heads out the window, cackling away. He bought my gas and drove me back to my car - it was one of the greatest moments of my life." -u/Granadafan 4. Miley Cyrus Jesse Grant / Getty Images for 20th Century Studios "I was working on The Last Song with Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth where I had many kind interactions with both of them, but this particular one stands out the most. We were filming in a community college (staged as a hospital) and during a break, I went into the restroom - it was totally empty except for Miley, who was sitting up on the wall of sinks with her makeup artist, just chatting. I really had to go, so I sheepishly apologized and said I'd be quick, in case I was interrupting. As I was heading into the stall, Miley said, 'Do you want me to turn the water on for you?! I get SO pee-shy. Here, I'll just turn it on for you.' I chuckled and said, 'It's okay, I lived in a sorority house with 30 other women, so you learn to get over it quickly - but thanks!' As I washed my hands, Miley divulged how she wished someone had been there to turn the water on for her at the Grammys when Mariah Carey was in the stall next her." -erinberson 5. Keanu Reeves Craig Barritt / Variety via Getty Images "I remember seeing Keanu Reeves in New York a long time ago when I was a young (and probably very annoying) pre-teen. I yelled out, 'Yo, Neo!' and then I mimicked the bullet-dodge motion from The Matrix. He looked back at me, laughed, and mirrored the same move in acknowledgement. It's a great memory because I feel like anyone would have been justified in getting annoyed and shrugging off a kid, but instead, he was a good sport and humored me. I'll never forget it." -u/MrMandu 6. Stevie Nicks Dia Dipasupil / FilmMagic / Getty Images "In 1983 I went backstage after Don Henley did a benefit show. Being a Stevie Nicks fan (she performed that night with him), I had my crystal pyramid on a gold chain. When I saw her, I took the necklace off, clasped it in my palm, and walked up to her, saying, 'I have waited five years to give this to you.' She asked, 'What is it?' I said, 'A crystal pyramid - I know you mus
