Have you ever been personal friends with a seriously famous person?

We stopped hanging out when he did his thing with JLo. Lots of drama there and I didn't want to be involved.

So you are from Brooklyn?

A friend of ours randomly recently became friends with a super famous singer-songwriter. It is truly bizarre because the friend is a wholesome person and this celebrity has had some rough PR over the years.

One of the families she regularly nannied for asked her to come along to a meal out with their old collgege buddy to sit at the table and keep an eye on the kids so everyone could visit. It was a very casual "Hey, my old college bff Joe is in town and we'd like to catch up. Would you mind helping out that week with the kids? Joe loves seeing them but we want to be able to visit uninterrupted."

Only the dear college buddy was not an average Joe.

Joe was my sister's favorite 80s sitcom teen hearthrob, along the level of famousness as Ricky Schroeder, Kirk Cameron or Michael J Fox! Her boss never refered to him by name, just as an old friend. Imagine her surprise when she walked into the restaurant and saw who he was.

She texted me that night from the restaurant bathroom, a 40 something year old woman going "Omg, omg, omg!!! I am eating dinner with (insert 80s hearthrob name)!!!"

She ended up nannying for them all week. She did not get any pictures or autographs because she was working but she really wanted to. She was like a giggly 13 year old girl pouring over Teen Beat magazines all week.

She said he was very nice and very down to earth, and it was really like a bunch of old college friends getting together.

She was startstruck, but to her boss it really was just Average Joe dropping by to spend the week.

The guy is still active in the entertainment industry, and still good looking. He is an actor that people would still recognize today.

She got to chat with him throughout the week, and he was just as nice as can be. It was fun for her but for her boss it was just a regular friend who just happened to be a star.

Her boss was not someone famous btw. Just someone on a generic upper middle class career. She just happened to meet him at college somewhere, the dorm, a class, a party, who knows and they became lifelong friends.

OMG just name him already

Yeah this is lame, and written up weirdly. "only the dear college buddy was not an average joe!" Err, ok.

Seriously, if you won’t name names, don’t bother posting at all. It’s pointless and what’s the big deal about giving a name?

It’s probably Scott Baio

Justin Bateman?

You mean Jason Bateman. You probably got mixed up since he has a famous sister (who was also on an '80s sitcom) named Justine

I ran in the same crowd as Tony Romo in high school.

I am acquaintances with someone who recently became quite famous — Stormy Daniels. But because she participates in my hobby, not her professional work. She is a lovely and kindhearted person.

I was high school friends with Christina Hendricks. Had lunch with her everyday my senior year (she was a year behind me). Lost touch after I started college, last time I saw her was over winter break sophomore year of college.

Johnny Gill grew up on 6th St in SE. Anyone know him? Also, Stacey Latisaw grew up in DC and they used to date when they were teens.

Alright you're atypical, that is a very famous song, used in a lot of commercials/sporting events etc

Omg. It's TWISTED sister.
Not Twister Sister.
So I guess you were not actually friends with them

I was in high school with Rob Marciano (Entertainment Tonight) and Ricky Schroder's older sister, Dawn (though she was only there 50% of the time and always miserable) and Elizabeth Weitzman the NY Post film critic and daughter of shoe designer Stuart Weitzman. And Keate Levine the daughter of coat designer Larry Levine (80s). And a couple of girls who competed at Wimbledon and the Olympics (track).

I think I win.
