As many people say, don't meet your heroes but that doesn't deter the thousands if not millions of people who dream of meeting their favorite celebrity one day. And it's understandable.

You've been watching that person work for so long and you've been watching their every move on media. You might have even followed the examples they've set so it's only natural that you'd want to meet the person, right?

Then again, with all the celebrity meet horror stories out there, a lot of people are forced to lower their standards for their dream meetings. There are times, however, when some people get to meet celebs in the most mundane moments.

And guess what? Those moments are the best because more often than not, they're just so wholesome.

Without the pressure of cameras, industry people, or other fans watching, many celebs get to act more like their true selves and that's when you can see who they really are. And the best part is that there are actually plenty of celebs out there who are absolute angels.

From Ben Affleck to Keanu Reeves, here are some celebs people met out in the mundane wild that created moments so pure just because of how ordinary they were.
