Cringey Photos of Fans Posing With Their Favorite Celebrities

Unfortunately for some, their special moment was disastrous because of either themselves, an unfortunate incident, or simply a lack of enthusiasm on the celebrities part. Scroll down below for some of your favorite celebrities and their adoring fans.

The only downside is that you were not cognizant and missed the chance to have a quick conversation with the star. Oh, the things that could have been asked, if you’d only been aware.

However, the downside of the job is that it’s common to have people run up to you just to get a quick photo. What if you weren’t feeling it that day? Too bad. Looks like Emma is willing to pose this time.

There are not many people, even the most outgoing of celebrities, who would allow such a handsy approach to a meet and greet. Luke definitely looks a tad put off but also isn’t afraid of getting in there and giving the love back. What a sport!

He understood the assignment though. This guy was more than happy to put on a smile, knowing he had got to rest his hands around his dream girl’s waist. This isn’t the last time you’ll see Katy on this list!

He kind of changes the vibe from excitement to inappropriate when all he can do is stare at the chest of one of these young women. Keeping it classy, huh?

It just so happened the woman was talking and they both sort of squished together in a pinch to get the photo. I’m sure it was worth the moment just to have the memory to look back on.

In this brief glimmer in time, Jason’s arm is around her and pushing another man away. Not sure what’s better, the picture or the fact that Jason took it a step further and autographed it over the husband.

However, just her presence should suffice. Unlike other celebrities on the list, Avril makes a point to keep her composure, and her arms, to herself. It has her fan looking slightly uncomfortable.

At least that’s how Cara Delevingne looks at it anyway. For someone who is known to be a bit short with obnoxious reporters, it’s nice to see her having a silly moment. What a shock that must have been to check out her antics in the background.

Rihanna looks confused and perhaps a little perturbed by not only the presence of this guy but the flash photography he brought along with him. Just because you see a celebrity out in the wild doesn’t mean it’s okay to take advantage of the situation. Take a nanosecond to read the room.

Even if that fun comes at the expense of a youngster. Little does the boy know that one day, he will treasure the photo of a moment in time he had no awareness of but still made it memorable. Thanks to Bill for having a hilarious reaction to the crying.

As the group stops to pose with the skyline behind them, these two jokesters up the level of awesome by putting on their best faces. Perhaps it’s something the family will just have to find out about later. What a surprise!

But with all the players still on the field, it just looked like this guy had a complete lack of self awareness or consent for that matter. Perhaps he saw it as a shoot-your-shot type of moment, but it seemed a little too hands-on.

This fan clearly crossed the line and is basically forcing himself on the reality star. She definitely was not expecting this physical bombardment into selfie-taking and did not seem to want to participate. We’re hoping that maybe he was pushed from behind while trying to get her attention and it was an accident. But with his hand already in position, he may just need to be removed.

It’s not every day that you get diehard fans willing to ink themselves for life in your honor. It does look like Katy loves the effort and is happy to take a photo to promote the tattoo. A memory for them both.

Because this fan had his phone at the ready, Robert Downy Jr. was haphazardly forced into a photo he didn’t agree to. The actor was just trying to get back to his car when a massive flash caught him off guard. That is the appearance of a man who was not ready but still came off as great. Fans just have no boundaries.

Sir Patrick Stewart is doing his contract best by sitting there and looking content. Celebrities go through so many of these photos that it’s probably hard to fake it after a while. Fans have a very limited window to get in there, pose, and get out before the next one comes in. So, Patrick’s position seemed perfect to maximize his energy over the span of a few hours.

He’s a bit overwhelmed, but she seems to be taking it in stride. What can she do but enjoy her adoring fan? Afterall, he has a bunch of her recently bought products in his grasp.

It looks like the husband is a good sport, being given the finger by the Walking Dead star. All the while, he’s got his arm wrapped around the woman’s shoulder and she has her arm on Norman’s chest. It’s nice to see a celebrity being so playful.

Of course, he’s being nice by posing for a photo even though he’s just there to have a good time. That is great, but it’s Neil Flynn who makes the moment even more special. Giving that familiar glare from Scrubs, Neil turned this photo into epic.

What’s going on between those ears? Is Ye putting together another masterpiece? Is he contemplating existence? Does Ye know where he is? No one can say for sure, but either way, these guys knew to take advantage of a moment they would likely never see again.

This is just in poor taste by the picture taker. Yes, you have a great view of someone that many people know. That doesn’t mean she’s not a real person who is clearly in the middle of something. Running up and turning around to get a selfie is not cute. Even though she is getting the shot, the way she goes about it feels like it’s just a weirdly stolen moment.

At least that’s the type of importance you can imagine is going into play here when there are tears involved. She’s going to be so proud of this moment from now into forever and Miley is making it all the sweeter.

Who better to make the ultimate dad joke than a man who makes a living doing spoofs? Yes, Weird Al knows a great set-up when he sees one. Got to give the fans what they want, right?

It was nice of Mark Hamill to give him a hug but he might be putting the fan into cardiac arrest. Hopefully, this guy will be able to channel the force later and use it to calm down while he gazes at a photo representing the time he met a Jedi.

As you can see from the photographs, he makes sure not to wrap his hands around women that are taking a picture with him. For one, you can’t be accused of doing something inappropriate that way. But the reason he’s likely doing it is to not cross any boundaries. Keanu, always ahead of the game.

Imagine the delight when this girl was casually out shopping with her family, picking up drinks and food for dinner. Suddenly, she sees someone recognizable in the distance. Could it be Dylan O’Brien? What a sweet surprise for an unsuspecting fan!

It’s a great reminder that celebrities are people, too, and have a list of other famous people they’d like to meet. It just might be a little easier for them to accomplish said feat.

This is the ultimate fan win! It looks like Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy for years, is having a good time getting in trouble with the stormtroopers. Too much fun, this is.

They must be thinking what a great investment it was to purchase a fan photo because it included both twins at the same time. Not just having them there, though, but being embraced by both Brie and Nikki. What luck!

Even more so, they would be so beloved that he’d need to show face occasionally at events where attendees would go wild in his presence. Kind of an interesting life story, though.

Very few people surrounding him mean there’s a good chance to get a photo. Surely, this girl’s day was made. Unbeknownst to her, this guy was just an extremely close look alike. So very close, though. He would easily pass off as the real deal.

That makes this shot funny for us to look at, but it might not be exactly what the fan had in mind. At least it made for a story to tell for years to come.

Unfortunately, this poorly timed photo left him looking disconnected from reality. The fan looks fine, so I guess he felt like he accomplished something. Next time, be more mindful of others and treat celebrities like real people.

After thousands of fans try to get an autograph, talk to you, and sometimes even grab at you, it has to be wearing Kristen Stewart thin. There are only so many high pitch yells you can take before earplugs are required.

He didn’t realize when she asked him at the airport to pose with her that she was actually famous in her own right. It took his manager calling the next day to inform him of how popular the post had gotten when the pop star posted it. Ed had no idea.

It’s hard to imagine Khloe’s feet not being in a tremendous amount of discomfort at the end of the day. She looks like she’s having a good time meeting fans, though, by the sweet moment she’s sharing with this one.

Just like shoppers used to do outside major retail chains on Thanksgiving night before Black Friday. Not realizing how sweaty he had become, this fan leaned over to get a picture and chat with one of his favorites, Tom Cruise. It looks like Tom is having a good time with the man, so luckily it worked out for everyone.

Even back when classical music was all the rage. So, as teen girls do, this young lady was so happy she was crying at the moment she got to meet her favorite singer. Good on Justin for offering a helping hand.

Even though he doesn’t seem particularly pleased to have his phone call interrupted for this selfie, he accepts that it’s happening. Sometimes, when you know something you don’t want is coming, it is calming to accept it regardless.
