40 Celebrities Get Exposed By People Who Went To School With Them

I went to high school with Wilson from *Cast Away*.

Didn't say much, mostly hung out with the volleyball team, and some kid got detention for kicking him in gym.

I went to school with Lady Gaga. She was very bright and probably the nicest girl at our school (most were stuck up rich snobs). She got bullied a lot because her parents weren't rich and because she wasn't as pretty as some of the other girls. That made her become quite rebellious. I remember one day I forgot my lunch and she shared hers with me, even though I'd hardly even spoken to her before. I was friends with her after that until we parted ways when I went to college. She was absolutely lovely, and I am so please for her success.

Frank Abagnale is my dad’s cousin. We were at a family wedding and he was telling us, “yeah, they’re making a movie about my life. Leonardo DiCaprio is playing me.” He’s a professional liar, so we all just laughed at him. Then Catch Me If You Can came out.

One of my former colleagues who retired recently went to college with Hillary Clinton. She said that she was very likeable, smart and down to earth.

I went to high school with Calista Flockhart. She was very nice, great student, great singer, nice, chill girl. All the c**p in the media about her weight and all of that? Nonsense. She was always slender build, athletic. She looks the same today as she did at Shawnee High School in 1983. Good for you, Calista.

My boss went to school with Weird Al Yankovic. Oddly enough, he said Al was weird.

Kit 'Jon Snow' Harington went to the same Sixth Form College as me, year below me. Super quiet and shy. Literally the last person you'd think would end up being famous.

Cool, a topic I can contribute to. Went to high school with John Legend. He was a year older than me. He was clearly very talented, lead role in most school plays, musical acts at talent shows etc. But he was basically just a really nice, humble guy. I wasn’t friends with him but I was an athlete who hung out with the theatre crowd. I helped on set construction and sound for shows. He was a basketball fan and came to most of our school’s games. His cousin was also on the team and a year younger than me.

Not me but one of my aunts went to school with Bob Dylan in Minnesota. They tell the story all the time about how he sang a song in a school talent show and literally everyone thought he was awful. My aunt said all the parents were going “Poor Mrs. Zimmerman” in the audience because it was so embarrassing.

I have a cousin who went to elementary school with one of Will Smith's sons (though I'm not sure which one). The Smiths would have birthday parties for their kids and invite the whole class. My uncle would go too since my cousin was young at the time and he'd get to talk to Will. He told me that Mr. Smith is a very friendly, down-to-earth person.

James Corden. God was he a show-off. When a bunch of 10-11 year old kids are trying to get a school play together it helps if you don’t start making up your own lines and throwing everyone into a state of utter confusion.

I went to high school with Hayden Christensen before he was in Star Wars. He was artsy and seemed shy. Spent his time in the drama department, and was a nice guy from every memory I have.

I went to high school with The Weeknd, I.e. Abel Tesfaye. He was horrible. He bullied so many kids, including filming a student with a stutter while he was nervous giving a presentation ,and posting it on Facebook, tagging everyone in our grade encouraging everyone to leave comments to ridicule him. This image he has created of a quiet shy artist is completely opposite of anything I ever saw. He was an obnoxious bully. And one of the guys in his entourage also went to my high school, and once almost punched a female student in the face because she accidently bumped into him. Awful people all around.

I talked to Kimbra once because she went to my HS. She was quite a bit older than me and I was lost because I had just started school.

And now she's just somebody that I used to know.

Not a super famous connection...but Avril Lavigne (Canadian musician) was the bat girl for my baseball team. She was a cute kid and respectful...it was years later when she had a hit song that I realized it was actually her.

A friend's dad went to the same high school as Robin Williams. Said he was really weird and would hang out by himself at his car in the parking lot doing impersonations to nobody.

Went to HS with Ushers little bro, real cool dude. But what amazed me was how cool Usher is. He constantly had a bunch of us dumb a*s kids over at his house and was always cool as f**k and very accommodating. Would even let us sit in his studio (which was amazing!) and watch him make tracks. Super nice Family.

My grandma went to the same high school as James Dean. Said he was chill and charismatic. Was kinda cocky as a result though because he KNEW he was hot stuff.

My dad used to be a punk drummer in California. Knew Green Day when they were first starting out. He said the band mates were cool but the lead singer was a "pouty b***h", that would often cancel or storm off if people he didnt like were at concerts/parties. Didnt have thick skin when it came to some criticism either.

My uncle went to highschool with Stephen King. He apperantly never passed in any of his english assignments on time.

This isn't from school, but my dad was neighbors with Conan O'Brien growing up. My grandmother was a dance teacher and she said Conan specifically wanted private dance lessons involving a top hat and cane routine. Also my dad says he has a specific memory of Conan jumping off the the wall that divided their yards, waving a "sword" around and yelling "Sic Semper Tyrannus!" No one in the family is surprised at all that he now touches his nipples and gets tangled in a chair during the commercials for his show.
