Most of us have had a run-in with a movie star, musician or professional athlete at some point in our lives. Or so we thought. It turns out that a small percentage of people will get so starstruck over a potential encounter with a celebrity that they won't even bother to take a closer look at someone they believe to be famous before snapping a pic with them to post to the world. While a few of the following photos could be construed as legitimate mistakes (i.e. the person was drunk), most are so blatantly obvious that you'll start to wonder about the average person's eye for detail, and why the "celebrity" involved played along with it.
