Well this is what happened to one man who was stunned by what happened nextYou don't always bump into a celebrity when having a drink(Image: Getty Images/iStockphoto)Whether you're out doing a food shop or partying in an Ibiza club, it's not often you spot a familiar face nearby. Generally you go about your business, expecting to complete your tasks, but if you're lucky, might see someone you know for a quick chat.
One man was caught off guard when he arrived at a hotel bar expecting to just have a drink, only for someone famous to sit next to him. Of course, when you do spot a familiar face out in public, it's likely you might feel a little star-struck or even shy, but things only got better for the man.
In a post on social media, the story began when one person wrote in the Ask Reddit forum: "Who's the most famous person you've met in person?" It welcomed many responses, with nearly 800 comments since it was shared four days ago.
