Unless you live in a big city like LA, you don't always get to see a celebrity. When a moment comes that you do cross paths with them, it can be a fun story to politely ask for a selfie with them.

It's a fun anecdote to tell your family that you once met so and so at a random restaurant somewhere. These kinds of stories, though silly, are often told with glee in family gatherings.

The lucky ones who get the opportunity to take pictures with celebrities, treasure those pictures. Whether you like to admit it or not, you can't wait to tell someone you know about your celebrity experience.

Before the age of the internet, people used to have those photos printed out and stick them in albums. Now, we just share them on our social media pages coupled with a heartfelt or a witty caption.

The website, Awkward Family Photos, encourages users to share their well, awkward family photos. One of the more popular tags is photos with celebrities.

Some share genuine pictures with famous people while others share old photographs of their family members who have a celebrity look-alike. This is a compiled list of those photographs that you might enjoy!
