Twitter user Vanessa Lambe got to live out the childhood dream a lot of us had by having a brief stint as a background “actor” in “Degrassi: The Next Generation.” She never had a speaking role – she was just there to fill up the school hallways. She got to stand next to pre-wheelchair Jimmy at one point, whom you may now know as Drake.
This was long before he was one of the most popular men on the planet – he was still just a young actor making his way in the world, but it’s still the kind of thing that’s perfect for bragging about on Twitter.
A Famous Face
Like many of the people on this list, Twitter user Tiffany Schulman got a spot as an extra in a movie (we aren't sure which movie, however). Except Tiffany got a little luckier. In the shot we see in the picture, her unhappy, serious expression was liked enough by the DVD case designers that the scene she was in made it to the back of the cover.
We hope it was a big, well-known movie (again, the scene we see in the picture from Tiffany makes it hard to tell what it is) so that Tiffany can brag to her friends.
Photobomb!
Out of the way, Kim Kardashian! That's Nikki Minton behind you! Smile for the camera, Nikki! Yes, Kim might be the bigger name right now, but we don't know why. Nikki has done just as much for the public good – maybe more.
Still, she appeared in a pic that was in “Us Weekly,” shopping right behind the shocked Kim Kardashian, who looks to be finding out that her most recent cosmetic procedure has gone bad. Not only will Nikki be able to say that she was in a picture with the second (or third) most famous member of the Kardashian family, but she can also say she looked better!
Hobnobbing with Living Legends
Miss “@bedheadforever” got to spend the day talking to Tim Roth (seen right between her, on the left with purple hair, and her friend with red hair) and Tupac, who in this shot was hiding behind the dyed and punk @bedheadforever. This pic was taken all the way back on 5/22/96 when they were filming “Gridlock'd,” a black comedy crime film.
Not many had the chance to experience Tupac between his rise to fame and his unfortunate death, so this Twitter user probably takes every chance to talk about her elbow-rubbing with these famous names.
He's Still Laughing
You may not recognize “Just for Laughs,” but it's a Canadian silent comedy, hidden camera, reality television show that played harmless and hilarious pranks on unsuspecting subjects. Once you know all of that information, it explains the look that is on Twitter user Maxime C's face, which you can see on the left side.
According to him, he got pranked something like ten years ago. Also, according to him, he will still turn on the TV every once in a while and see himself getting fooled. While this might qualify for something like five minutes of fame, it's still a great story.
