![SETH ROGEN AND BEYONCE LICEN ING THE Rogen met Beyonce at the premiere of The Lion King... and got some of his beard stuck in her sequins.

![TOM HANKS AND HARRY STYLES N The two met backstage at an Eagles concert in L.A. in 2014. Kathy Griffin recalled how Styles was so wasted that he walked up to Hanks and started asking him if he remembered being in movies like Saving Private Ryan and Forrest Gump, as if it was his job to make sure Hanks didn't forget the Oscar-winning movies he starred in. Afterwards, Hanks apparently told Griffin that, sometimes, he just wanted to drive them to rehab himself. CRACKED.COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/6/1/6/778616.jpg)
![KRISTEN BELL AND DAX SHEPARD MEET RIZ AHMED The couple met Ahmed at the 2016 Golden Globe Awards. Bell said she immediately blurted out that she found Ahmed very attractive, to which Shepard added: made him very nervous, because he immediately looked at me and he thought, 'Is this their perverse setup? Now he's going to get jealous and fight for her? Bell then told Ahmed that she just thought he was fabulous and, you know, easy on the eyes.

![MIKE BIRBIGLIA AND CHRIS EVERT While at lunch with the cast of Trainwreck, Birbiglia was nervous around Evert and, in trying to find common ground, told the former No.1 tennis player, I play tennis also.

![DAVID WALLIAMS AND PRINCE Walliams was invited to dinner by singer Bryan Ferry, and at the dinner he met Prince. It was awkward since both Ferry and Prince weren't that talkative, so when Walliams spotted a magazine with Florence and the Machine on the cover, he asked them what they thought about the band's new cover of You Got The Love. They didn't know what song he was talking about.... so he started singing it to them while they stared blankly at him. He said it was the most embarrassing experience.

![EMILIA CLARKE AND PRINCE WILLIAM Clarke went into full stutter when she met the Royal Prince at Kensington Palace for the 2018 Centrepoint Awards. For whatever reason, maybe because I was so scared, I couldn't manage to get out 'Your Royal Highness.' So it was kind of like 'ra... ra..., it was pretty much all I managed.

![SALMA HAYEK AND EMINEM Everyone was surprised at Eminem's unexpected appearance at the 92nd Academy Awards, including Hayek. She posted on Instagram, explaining: In these pictures it might look like Eminem and I are best friends. But what really happened is as he was walking offstage and I was getting ready to walk onstage, I was so shocked to see him that I spilled water all over him. If you examine our faces, I look mortified and he looks terrified of me. As I was trying to wipe it off I impulsively hugged him and I said 'Nice to meet](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/6/1/3/778613.jpg)
![KEVIN COSTNER AND MADONNA Costner met Madonna backstage at one of her concerts that were part of her 1991 documentary, Truth or Dare.

She later apologized to Costner for the incident. CRACKED.COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/6/0/6/778606.jpg)
![SOPHIE TURNER AND JUSTIN BIEBER Turner, who had a major crush on the Biebs, met him at a house in Miami, and after introducing herself she ran into the closet and cried for five minutes.

![MARGOT ROBBIE AND PRINCE HARRY Robbie mistook the Royal Prince for singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran.

![LIAM PAYNE AND FAMOUS RAPPERS At an event in New York City, Payne had an awkward experience trying to meet both Jay Z and Sean Diddy Combs. I went to lean in to speak to him, but you can't lean in to speak to Jay z. You're not allowed to. His bodyguard just shoved me and I went flying across the room. And I was like, 'Right I'm just going to sit over here. When he went to shake Diddy's hand, Diddy apparently gave him the longest handshake in history while laughing in his face.

![ALLISON JANNEY AND THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE E While at the 2018 BAFTA Awards, Janney's feet were killing her, so she took off her high heels... right before meeting Prince William and Kate Middleton. She was in her heels and pregnant, so I felt like a bit of a wimp that I was there in my bare feet. I told her that she should take her shoes off because she's pregnant. She also managed to call Middleton honey, and felt deeply embarrassed afterward. CRACKED.COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/6/0/4/778604.jpg)
![DAVID DUCHOVNY AND PRINCE CHARLES Duchovny once explained to Prince Charles what a booty call was at an All Saints concert in the '90s. In the song, which I don't remember, they say the phrase 'booty call' over and over again and I saw Prince Charles just kind of looking perplexed. And he said, 'Booty call...' I said, 'Well it's when a man or a woman calls a man or a woman to come to their home late at night for the express purpose of... getting together and then leaving right afterward. And he said, 'Oh... CRACKED.COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/6/0/5/778605.jpg)
![SETH ROGEN AND NICOLAS CAGE R NG The two met during the casting of The Green Hornet in 2011. Cage mentioned that he wanted his character to be bald with tattooed hair. Days later, Cage phoned back to say that he didn't really want his character to have tattooed hair in the movie-he was just thinking of actually doing it in real life. Rogen laughed hysterically at this... only to realize that the man wasn't kidding. CRACKED.COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/6/1/5/778615.jpg)
