Considering the limitless reach of celebrities in our modern day and age it's kind of hard to fathom how virtually every celebrity was once an ordinary person. So ordinary, in fact, that they could have been friends with and dated people you know! Actually, that's precisely the sort of thing that has happened plenty of times!

Imagine going through your mom or aunt's photos from high school or college and seeing your mom went to prom with THE Adam Sandler! That would surely put some shock right smack on your face. The truth is, that exact sort of thing was a reality for someone out there and it's totally surreal to see photos of some of the most famous celebrities we know today living their lives as ordinary people.
