When Celebrities Showed Up Unannounced at Ordinary Homes—The Stories They Left Behind Will Shock You!
He kind of refused to say stranger things and instead constantly just referred to when he was ‘shooting in Atlanta’ as if it wasn’t super god d**n obvious .
Used to throw house parties in college in Maine and sometimes local kids and townies showed up uninvited. Didn’t realize it until she got famous that one of the high school girls who used to frequent named “Anna” was Anna Kendrick.
Weirdly had a friendship with Davey Havok (AFI) in the mid 2010s, so much so that during one Coachella festival him and Jeffrey Starr (not sure how Davey was friends with him but whatever) came over to my parents place which was about 2 miles from the festival grounds for a party.
Never saw either of them after that except I ran into Davey at a Coachella fest after that when he was with his side project.
My Japanese half-sibling got to show Pink around Tokyo for a day in the early 2000s. She was only doing this touring PR thing as a part time job for a media network in order to save up for university. She said talking with Pink was fun and occasionally chaotic in a wholesome way.
Jesus Jones, the band, came to my house to see my dog.
We had an au pair who was dating one of them and they wouldn’t believe he was as big as she said (he was particularly big for a Great Dane).
They stood in the hall and all agreed he was indeed big while me, my sister and my folks stood like a receiving line.
INXS went to my mums 30th because they played in town and asked where the best after party was lol.
I’m from a small town in North Carolina. In high school our rotary club had an exchange program for adults and I had the surreal experience of Tony Colman, the wealthiest member of the UK’s House of Commons, spending the week at my home. He was very down to earth. He talked about being tutored by CS Lewis at Cambridge, which sounded magical. This was pre-smart phones, so he was also worried about checking scores for his favorite football club (I wish I could remember which one) so he monopolized our computer lol.
Once I heard a bunch of commotion outside my street level apartment and when I finally looked outside James Franco was right outside my window. He looked a little bit startled when I moved the curtain so quickly. Turned there was a film shoot next door at the old timey ice-cream parlor.
My aunt and uncle were driving down the NJ turnpike and picked up a hitchhiker (it was the 70s and this was normal). The guy got in the car and it was Art Garfunkel. He stayed the night at their house. My aunt has a Polaroid of her and him smoking on their couch.
I lived in Half Moon Bay CA. In the late 80s early 90’s. I had both John Lee Ho**er and Van Morrison come to my house at the beach. Later that evening, we went to the Boon Boom Room before John owned it. We were written up in Herb Caen, SF Chronicle back in the days. No pictures, no proof? Ha, I got lotsa pictures….
Carly Rae Jepson swam in my Uncles pool when she was in our small town for a concert because it was super hot and humid that summer. His in laws owned the radio station putting on the concert so brought the acts to his place since he had a fancy pool.
It wasn’t my house, it was at a restaurant, but… Billy Corgan came to my aunt’s surprise 50th birthday party. They were friends in high school and still talk occasionally.
He shook my hand and introduced himself as William (I guess “Billy” doesn’t really fit when you’re 50). I had no idea he was so tall.
John Prine. My room-mate was in some sales business that Mr Prine was interested in. It was some vintage RnR stuff. I was asked to entertain him while she prepared. Why that wasn’t done before, I never asked.
Now that I think about it, we (I) did the same with Stevie Ray Vaughn and his drummer.
Not one, but two celebrities randomly showed up at my house in the middle of nowhere.
Yoko Ono and Susan Sarandon were on a mission to stop gas drilling and they ended up at my neighbors gas pad which is accessed through my property. Was surreal. One minute you’re sitting in your underwear on your porch in the woods, minding your own business… next thing you know, a tour bus and two celebrities pulls up and takes pictures!
Shirley MacLaine. My mom’s boyfriend was very close to her and she was doing a show with Frank Sinatra in the early 90s in our town. She came to our house and I was home and got to meet her. She told us she LOVED our basement and thought it was just fantastic. I can’t even tell you how average our wood paneled basement was – I mean – it was big and had a lot of storage room but it was nothing to get excited about.
She and my mom’s boyfriend were going to take a walk in the park by our house. Boyfriend invited me to tag along and as I was putting on my shoes, I hear the front door slam. She obviously didn’t not want a college student tagging along. I did get an autographed book out of the visit
