People That Knew Celebs Before They Got Famous Confess How They Changed With Fame

I hung out with K-Fed a couple times, he worked at Taco Bell with my friend’s brother and so he’d roll up sometimes. TBH he was always a douche. We were all pretty shocked that Britney Spears married him, and “Popozão” was an instant meme obviously. OFC he acts like he doesn’t know ANYONE anymore, Fresno is too low class for his bullshit or whatever lol

My dad is friends with John Hawkes. They went to college together and are from the same area. They weren’t super close — my dad says he’s a great guy who was kind of “everyone’s friend”. My sisters and I were always like, cool cool dad whatever, nice that you knew him, but now you’re a train engineer and he’s a fucking famous actor. A couple years ago, Mr. Hawkes was in our city for the opening of a movie he was in. It was a public event, and my dad told us he was “gonna go say hi to John”. Alright, good luck dad. He went, and not only did he say hi, but Mr. Hawkes sat with him at the showing and took him to an afterparty. This still blows my fucking mind. My dad is so smug about it I think he’s living on sheer I-Told-You-So. Kudos to Mr. Hawkes/Perkins for apparently being a sweet and nice guy after all.

Marley Shelton is an actress I’m not sure how famous people consider her. She is most known in many circles as the lifeguard in the Sandlot that the kid fake drowned to kiss but has been in tons of stuff since like Scream 4. I have two photos of me with her at a Christmas party which I unfortunately look like shit in but whatever. My mom used to teach her piano lessons and was friends with her mom a long time. Guess she didn’t change much since we were invited to a Christmas party and she was willing to take two photos with me. My dad says he remembers her being in a school play Alice in Wonderland and saying she basically lit up the stage and was incredibly gifted as an actress for such a young girl. I don’t think I saw that play though I wish I did.
