People Imagine How They'd Spend A Day With Their Favorite Celebrity
"Reddit user Beneficial-Course69 asked: 'You have one day to spend with one celebrity of your choice. Who do you choose and what will you do?'"
One day with a celebrity.
How could that not be a good time?
To be able to spend one entire duration of 24 hours with one of the people who inspires you most is a memory you take to the grave.
So if given the chance, how do you pick?
Is there that ONE person, or are there several?
It may be hard to pick just one.
Redditor Beneficial-Course69 wanted to hear about how everyone would share time with their favorite famous person, so they asked:
"You have one day to spend with one celebrity of your choice. Who do you choose and what will you do?"
Adele.
Dear Adele... if you're listening...
You and me... and gelato.
Well that is for starters.

"I don't really go into celeb culture."
"But I want to be with Robin Williams. Just bring him back for a day and let him decide what he wants to do... He was just the voice of my childhood and teens. His shows and voice were always on replay."
"If he wants to just talk about his life, or go surfing (I can't surf) or go bicycling (I can't cycle). I'll be cool with it. RIP Robin, you will always be Genie."

It's You!
"Bruce Campbell. It doesn’t matter what we are doing. It’s Bruce Campbell!"
Ok-Essay-2352
"One magic evening about a decade ago, me and several friends attended a conference in Southern Oregon. We were out at a local Oasis, and frankly, throwing down. After a few rounds, the door opens with a flood of light into the dark bar. A shadow fills the door, then comes into focus."
"Because it could not possibly be Bruce Campbell walking into a bar I'm getting s**t-faced at, I say 'Hey, it's Bruce Campbell' he walks by, makes eye contact, and gives me the 'sup nod. It's actually Bruce. He lives nearby. My drunk starstruck a** is stunned into silence. He gets a table with some women he comes in with. I try to play it cool, but I'm sure my furtive glances are noticed."
"My group continues pounding drinks and somehow manages to leave him alone. I wish I could tell you he came over and partied with us, but the truth is he left after 90 minutes, as he probably recognized the vibe was going to shift to him at some point. I didn't slobber on him, and that's probably for the best. My wife saved the progressively drunker voicemails I left about seeing 'brooscamblll.' Fun time."

In the Track
"David Gilmour (Pink Floyd). Would love to sit and talk and play guitar. He’d teach me some stuff. Now that would be a great day."
Mantooth77
"I was Gilmour in a decently popular Floyd tribute band. We played Shine On You Crazy Diamond as our opener every night. I can substitute for him in a pinch if you don’t hear from him. In all seriousness, no one else sits 'in the track' as far as spatial awareness and attack as Gilmour has. Ever."
"We can talk about Clapton, page, and Jimi soaring above the mix and right in your face, but no one ever knows exactly when to play, what and how to play like David. His genius is in the spaces. It took so long to realize that gear isn’t going to get the job done alone."

Homerun
"Chase Utley. I feel like I can call him Chase because he and I are so alike. I'd like to meet him one day, it would be great to have a catch. I know I can't throw as fast as him but I think he’d be impressed with my speed. I love his hair, he runs fast. Did he have a good relationship with his father? Me neither."
"These are all things we can talk about and more. I know he hasn’t been getting my letters because I know he would write back if he did. I hope he writes back this time, and we can become good friends. I am sure our relationship would be a real homerun!"
PoopSlinger23
Ridiculous
"Bryan Cranston. We spent the day with him pretending to be my dad. He makes me breakfast. We play catch, and some board games, ice cream for lunch, and go on rides at West Edmonton Mall. Pizza for dinner. Then get drunk on shots at a dive bar where we swap work stories. It ends with him telling me he's proud of me then we never speak of it again to anyone. We are both old men so it will be ridiculous."

SuspiciousBowlOfSoup
Pedro is the future.
Who wouldn't want to spend the day with him?
Well, dear readers, who would you want to spend the day with?
I love famous people.
I've met quite a few and have had overall great experiences.
I think they enjoyed me as well.
There is a level of fame though that can change the game.
Some celebrities are just too high on the list to meet without your knees buckling.
If I cross paths with Adele, my life is over.
And I'm ok with that.
Redditor mymiddlenameswyatt wanted to hear about all of the famous people run-ins we've had, so they asked:
"Who's the most famous person you've ever met?"
I once hit LL Cool J with a video camera while being an extra on set. And nobody could've been kinder.
He just laughed it off. Thanks LL.

I kept calling him Sir while escorting him to the sky box at a stadium. He told me if I called him Sir one more time he was going to deck me."
"To which I immediately said 'Yes Sir, Tom Sir, sorry Sir, sorry tom, Sir Tom, sorry' he stopped gave me a tap on my shoulder flashed that smile and laughed his a** off. Somewhere I have a autograph he had passed back to me addressed to sir from Sir."

The Good Guy
"Kobe was a regular at a restaurant I worked at. He was super nice and very engaging. It was a counter service place, which usually had a line out the door on weekends. He would sign autographs and take pictures with anyone who asked while he waited in line. I once offered to bring his food out to the back door so he didn't have to deal with all the fans. He declined, said it was all part of the job, basically. Super good dude, so sad he is gone."

Mr. Generous
"Ben Affleck... I met him like 10 years in Las Vegas. He came up to the bar and just sit down right beside me. We talked for a few minutes. He was asking me about what I was studying in college. I never let on that I knew who he was. He got up and told me to keep being kind to people and study hard and get that degree. When I got up to leave the bartender told me that Mr. Affleck paid for my drinks. Super nice guy.

"Steve Buscemi."- KVirus89
"During 9/11 the man went down to his old firehouse and volunteered. A f*cking hero! No one can hate him." - pazuzusboss
"Which was only natural, because Steven Buscemi was FDNY before he was an actor." - Mooniedog
"True! And he never talked about it either for the longest time. He went to do it because he felt a sense of duty." - pazuzusboss
"He is actually still very actively involved with supporting firefighters, particularly through the union, he was arrested in 2003 for protesting the shutdown of Engine 204 by blockading then occupying the station along with several others after it went offline."
"He also made an excellent documentary that covered both some of his own time as a firefighter as well as many others in the FDNY he is friends with, it’s called 'A Good Job: Stories of the FDNY'." - admiral_sinkenkwiken2

Tom Hanks Award GIF by American Film InstituteGiphyWe see several celebrities come and go from the spotlight from time to time.
Leading us to believe that there is a reason some stay as prominent as they do.
Because no one can get enough of them, and everyone wants them to be their best friend.
Age is just a number.
We all hope to stay sexy until the end.
And even when we don't feel sexy, maybe there will be people who still think we are.
Redditor Debonair-Redditor21wanted to hear about famous crushes that enter into the "Harold & Maude" territory. They asked:
"Who is the oldest celebrity that you still find attractive?"

Well that is a long list of sexy. Cheers to growing sexy with age.
When people who made positive impressions and inspired others to do better in their long and well-lived lives pass away, the loss can be profound.
But a person who was taken from us at an early age can be even more devastating.
What other things would they have accomplished? What additional contributions could they have made to improve society?
These are the questions one may have following the death of someone they admired and necessarily didn't know personally.
People shared examples when Redditor therealCapCon asked:
"What famous person died too soon?"
These ingenious minds contributed so much to society. What else could they have given us? We'll never know.

The list was extensive in the thread.
Some of the early losses that gutted me included Prince–who was a musical genius; and the incomparable Robin Williams–whose extraordinary gifts still touch people today.
May all these young souls rest in peace.
