“Don’t let the fame change you” is one of those things people say in fiction all the time, but the fact is that most of us really don’t know enough famous people personally to test if it’s sage advice. However, through the magic of the internet, it’s entirely possible to source other people's experiences so that you don’t have to.
People who knew celebrities before they were famous share their best stories of what that was like. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and if you also knew a famous person in the past, feel free to detail your experience in the comments below.
