Social Media Is Sharing Their 'Strangest' Interactions With Celebrities and They're Too Funny

A prompt tweet went viral on Twitter this week asking users to share their strangest celebrity interactions, and the answers have not disappointed. Writer and podcaster Lauren Modery kicked things off by asking her followers for their stories on Monday afternoon. In the 36 hours since we have seen the full range of experiences in the responses.

To get the ball rolling, Modery shared a few of her own stories. She wrote about one mysterious experience with an older male celebrity "that was accused of murder," then lightened things up by adding: "Jeremy Irons kind of maybe flirted with me? I'm not sure if it was flirtation or he's just really nice, but he seemed very interested in talking to me though I was NO ONE." As a screenwriter and former Hollywood assistant, Modery had plenty of stories of her own.

The real juicy answers came from other users, and they piled up by the thousands over the next day and a half. At the time of this writing, Modery's tweet has over 4,000 replies and nearly 7,000 quote tweets.

It's worth remembering that there's no way to verify most of these anecdotes. In many cases, they're interesting to read whether you suspend your disbelief or not. Here's a look at some of the best answers.
