As we all know celebrities in real life look different from the way they do on screen. They use makeup, clothes, and lighting on sets and it can change their looks. It might be confusing to meet a person that looks A LOT like someone you’ve seen on TV.
There are some people who didn’t even hesitate to snap a picture with a random stranger thinking they were famous. You’ll feel super disappointing if it really is the real Tom Cruise and you just missed an opportunity to snap a pic with him. You are maybe even more disappointing than realizing the person you took a selfie is not actually them.
Here are some pictures of “celebrities” that people have met. Sometimes you also would get mistaken by their looks.
