Celebs who were starstruck – They say you should never meet your heroes because they’re sure to disappoint you, but what about when you’re famous yourself? Celebrity status life, from the perspective of an outsider, seems like it would be a lot like high school, where everyone kind of knows everyone, but there are all of these unwritten rules and cliques that need to be navigated.

When regular folks meet a favorite star their reactions range from being quiet, to being a blubbering idiot, to screaming, or crying, and gushing hysterically about how amazing the person they just met is. Here’s the thing: even though someone might be an A-list star to the general population, that doesn’t mean that they weren’t their chapter’s leader of the Backstreet Boys Fan Club when they were in junior high, and even if they’ve been rocking the red carpet for years now, they still might lose their mind if they ever end up in the same room as their beloved Nick Carter!
One of the many reasons that people enjoy particular stories about celebs acting like the rest of us, is that it helps to humanize them. A star is a little more relatable when they freak out over meeting someone famous, after all they are real people too. This glimpse into the world of the celebrity super fan shows the world that no matter how great that actor looks in their $10,000 dollar suit, and how “cool as a cucumber” they come off in their late night talk circuit interviews that they still might get weak at the knees for a select few other stars. These 15 celebrities went full on fangirl when they met their role models.
15. Anne Hathaway Meets Mariah Carey
Anne Hathaway was on the red carpet promoting her movie The Intern in New York City when she realized that the stunning songstress was standing right behind her. The Associated Press managed to capture hilarious footage of the 32-year-old superstar losing it over the prospect of meeting her “Hero.” Hathaway told a reporter, “I’m freaking out. Like, she’s two arms lengths away right now” and then became so flustered that she wasn’t able to get out a complete sentence. When the reporter suggested that Hathaway go up and introduce herself to Carey, the actor didn’t want to because the timing just wasn’t right. Apparently even the great Hathaway can get stage fright when she’s in the shadow of Mariah Carey!
