sweet conversation between the two very famous you don't know me I'll get there Som my name is j what's your name H what youen on my way to the performance in Brooklyn at the new Brooklyn [Music] Arena yet Perhaps no unrecognized celebrity displayed more chivalry than Keanu Reeves who quietly gave up his subway seat to an older woman all while remaining unnoticed by the other passengers but not every interaction is as heartwarming like the time of fan mistook rapper Travis Scott for ASAP Rocky leading Scott to Lunge at him in frustration but what happens when

celebrities try to use their Fame to get out of trouble with the law I need you to you told me put my hands up I'm not doing that I'm aing celebrity you know who I am I'm offset from Amigos I'm going to SU out of y'all yall know who I am in one particularly embarrassing incident Migos rapper offset tried leveraging his Celebrity Status during a traffic stop only to find the officer had no idea who he was can I get your ID first sir why I'm being pull up I know my rights sir I'm famous

Sir Paul McCartney would experience a humbling moment when he was denied entry to a club with the beetle taking it in stride I don't think this gu how VIP do we got to get I don't know they won't let you in yeah we need another hit guys we need another hit but not all these moments end on a friendly note like when Jerry Seinfeld awkwardly turned down Kesha's hug completely unaware of who she was I love you so much oh thanks I give you hug no thanks please no thanks a little one yeah no thanks

I don't know who that was the moment went viral with Kesha later expressing how uncomfortable it made her feel it was like the saddest moment of my life then there's the humbling moment when Jennifer Lopez visited her childhood home but went unrecognized by its current owner despite her Fame I used to live here I used to live here huh what your name my name is Jennifer Jennifer yeah I used to live up and my room was upstairs right there Jennifer Lopez jennif me I used to live here pranks don't always go as planned either as

was asked if he was on the guest list at a party and his facial expression said it all ask him right now and while Drake seemed genuinely annoyed all Chris Pratt could do was laugh when not a single member of the public knew who he was during a segment with Billy on the Street this is one of the biggest stars in the world right now who is it I have no idea my God it's Chris Pratt we don't watch TV it's movies biggest star in the world right now hwood reporter says who is this I

presence of a skateboarding Legend hey do a kickflip what do a kickflip I got my Jordans on though that's all right aren't Jordans for skating oh yes KCK flip yeah look oh it's a race who's got it yeah I thought you were Danny Way and the Tesla no I'm Eric C or when Modern Family star at O'Neal didn't recognize Britney Spears at the airport and instead assumed she was just another overzealous fan asking for a photo and she came up and said oh Mr O'Neal I love Modern Family and you're my favorite on the show
