Who would have thought that someone from your own classroom could one day become a famous artist in the media? If we stop to think about it, this is the life story of thousands of people who were surprised to discovering that sometimes someone no one thought so much about turned out to be a great star.
To tell these stories, a few people came together in an AskReddit thread. In a short time, several testimonials about some of the big names in world pop culture emerged. What was most surprising was precisely what people had to say about some of the celebrities of the moment.
That's because while some received pertinent praise, others were the target of somewhat mean statements. There are even testimonials that seek to deny what some celebrities claim about their own adolescence. Here's what ordinary people tend to say about certain celebrities.
Taylor Swift by Rae_hers
“I went to high school with Taylor Swift. She was endearing and clumsy. Extremely kind and modest. A group of us saw her perform on Good Morning America one morning before anyone knew she was a musician. A few months later, she performed “Our Song” at our annual talent show. It was the first time 90% of us heard her music.”
Prince by Kenzie14

Elvis Presley by BroadwayBeauty
“My grandmother went to school with Elvis. She said he was a real womanizer and a total sweetheart.”
Justin Bieber by mjcronic
“My children's nanny went to school with Justin Bieber. She said he's a real douche bag.”
Johnny Depp by ianwashere
“Well, I didn't know exactly, but Johnny Depp was a year ahead of me in school, and I would talk to him from time to time. I can tell you, he was the same as he is now, the leader in everything, the class clown/weird.”
Demi Lovato by Ashley Graham
“She was the one who had a lower grade than me in high school and then moved to Hollywood right before high school. She was a real vixen. Definitely the biggest bad girl in her series. I really don't understand why she goes into interviews saying she was bullied so much. She was the one who terrified.”
Michelle Obama by Katey5678
“My mom went to high school with Michelle Obama and she still has a yearbook with her signature on it. They were in the National Honor Society together and were good colleagues. It wasn't until Obama was elected and my mom was watching the news that she recognized Michelle and went looking for her yearbook.”
Madonna by Willscy
“My mom went to school with Madonna in Rochester, Michigan. She said that Madonna was a total "drug", which didn't surprise me at all."
Bruce Willis
“My dad went to college with Bruce Willis. He told me stories of them listening to records in their dorms and Bruce being a real drunk. Apparently he quit because he was an alcoholic... Apparently when he went to Hollywood he asked one of my dad's friends to be his accountant but he didn't think Bruce was going to make it."
Bono Vox by Dylabaloo
“My friends dad punched Bono Vox when they were at school. The story is that Bono wrote a song (or sang a song) for my dad's girlfriend, as you can imagine, he didn't like it. So the next day, he punched the money machine!”
