We've all heard the saying, "Never meet your idols," and in the past, it might've sounded pretty dramatic. It assumes that the people we once looked up to will forever be altered in our minds after encountering them because, somehow, they'll disappoint.
Well, that was until one TikToker named Jordan recently posed an intriguing question that garnered some pretty unbelievable responses. On her account @idkjor, she asked people to divulge their craziest celebrity interactions.
"I don't mean, 'I got a selfie with so and so.' I wanna know who was rude, who was a flirt, you hung out with them all night, etc.," Jordan wrote.
Her TikTok, posted on April 5, has amassed 9.2 million views and over 976,000 likes. Plus, nearly 45,000 users opened up about their encounters with celebrities. Here are some of their most jaw-dropping celebrity stories (and thankfully, they're not all negative).
