Spotting a celebrity in the wild is something most people would love to do (even if they don’t admit it). And when a friend actually does see someone famous? They take a picture, post it to social media and never, ever let anyone forget it.
…And hopefully they never do what these people did. When they thought they met a celebrity, they took a picture and posted it everywhere. The only downside? They were totally, embarrassingly wrong.
How often do you think this guy pulls this trick?
