30 People Who Slept With A-List Celebrities Have Spilled The Details — And It's Quite The Read
A Reddit thread asking people to share their experiences of sleeping with celebrities has gone viral — and the responses range from surprisingly sweet to downright bizarre. Here's what 30 people had to say.
1. One man was set up on a blind date with a famous dominatrix. She was perfectly pleasant, but used to high-end restaurants and five-star treatment from clients. He took her somewhere different — a brilliant hole-in-the-wall fried chicken spot, followed by bar-hopping and a few secret London-style speakeasies. She told him it was the best date she'd ever had. They never took things further, though, realising they came from completely different worlds.
2.A woman met a famous musician at a club during a surprise performance. He flew her out to his hometown the following weekend, introduced her to his mum and sisters, then asked her to quit her job and travel with him on tour. She liked him but wasn't willing to risk her financial security for someone she'd barely known a week. He didn't take the knockback well — and later wrote a song about her that played on the radio for months. She only knows it's about her because he left her a voicemail of himself recording it in the studio.
3. A man dated a cam girl before she appeared on an HBO documentary series. Fame didn't change her at all. She later settled down, had a child, and seems genuinely happy. He's chuffed for her.
4. One woman slept with a well-known LA Rams player while going through a difficult marriage. Twelve years her junior, he was kind and attentive — and his warmth gave her the confidence she needed to finally file for divorce.
5. A man's housemate briefly had a thing with a woman who claimed to know everyone in the rock world. They thought she was making it up — until she produced the photos. She'd been in a relationship with Maynard from Tool but left him because the sex was, reportedly, terrible. She later left the housemate for a Slipknot drummer who bought her a house in Texas. She reportedly confirmed the celebrity sex was still rubbish — it was purely a business decision.
6. One woman dated an actor who'd starred in an Oscar-nominated film. He was charming at first, but quickly revealed himself to be exhaustingly insecure. He rang five times a day to talk about himself, constantly fished for compliments about his body, and fell apart if she didn't contradict his self-criticism. She called it off after a month.
7.A man's acquaintance made a habit of sleeping with country music artists and eventually gave it up entirely — because the sex was so consistently disappointing, it put her off their music as well.
8.One woman dated the nepo baby of a very famous parent. He was generous in bed but gave her nothing else — no meals out, no public acknowledgement, just turning up to vent and use her as an unpaid therapist. She eventually stopped replying to his texts.
9. A woman slept with a professional baseball player. The first time was genuinely good fun. The second time took a turn when he suddenly announced, mid-act, that he wanted to get her pregnant. He became angry when she insisted on a condom and stormed out. He then spent the next couple of months turning up unannounced and contacting her on social media. The last message he sent after she told him she'd moved on and had a boyfriend was spectacularly unhinged. She closed the account.
10. A background actor exchanged numbers with an award-winning TV actress on set but never got in touch out of respect for his girlfriend at the time. Years later, after the relationship ended, he texted her. They met for a drink, ended up back at hers, and had a genuinely fun evening. She had a long-term boyfriend but an open arrangement. There was mutual ghosting after that — but he calls it one of those stories nobody will ever believe.
11. A woman slept with someone she'd known before he became famous. Once he hit the big time, he became controlling — used to nobody ever saying no to him. He couldn't accept that she wasn't willing to drop everything for his life. The power imbalance, she says, was always there.
12.A woman who'd had a massive teenage crush on an A-list singer — posters on the wall, pencil case with his face on it, the full works — grew up to become a working musician herself. Eventually their paths crossed and they hit it off. She invited him back to her shared house without thinking, then had to frantically redecorate her bedroom so he wouldn't clock his own face staring at him from the wall. They dated for a while before amicably deciding to stay friends.
13.A man matched with a top-50 ranked tennis player on Tinder at a conference, assumed it was a bot, but met her at the hotel bar anyway. Twenty minutes later they went upstairs. He admits it was a solidly mediocre 25 minutes on his part. She left, unmatched him, and he reports it was essentially the same as any other first-time encounter — just with someone considerably more fit.
14. A man slept with an actress from a sci-fi TV show and found she was completely unlike her on-screen character — genuinely warm and kind. The sex was great, they went three rounds, and he felt a real connection. She ordered them breakfast the next morning and made it gently clear it was time for him to leave. He later found out she was married at the time.
15.One woman dated a D-list actor who was charming but bitter about his lack of work. She lent him money to help with bills. He's since made a comeback with someone new and is doing everything he promised her they'd do together. She says the experience at least made her tougher.
16. A Canadian man asked out a woman he'd met socially, not knowing she was a well-known actress in China. He didn't make a fuss when he found out — which he thinks is precisely why they worked. They communicated in a hybrid of English, Mandarin, and Google Translate. She quietly retired from acting, moved to Canada, and they've now been married for seven years with children. He wasn't sure it would last. It did.
17. A woman dated a former Abercrombie & Fitch model — one of those early 2000s faces plastered on shopping bags. He's extraordinarily good-looking and completely unaware of it, having been attractive his entire life. They didn't work as a couple because keeping his confidence afloat was a full-time job. They're now close friends, and she says the friendship is far superior.
18. A man briefly dated a former child actress in college. She was funny, kind, and good company, but struggling — sleeping in a barn with horses, drinking heavily, complicated family relationships. He looked her up recently and she seems to be doing well.
19. A woman dated a famous drummer for about a year. He was wonderful — excellent in bed, romantic, sent her sweet messages the morning after. They stayed friends. The relationship ended simply because she was finishing university and he was on the road constantly.
20. A woman dated a well-known actor with a significant age gap between them. The tabloids got involved, the paparazzi camped outside her house, and she ended up losing her job over the attention. He had serious substance abuse issues. She says it was not worth it and would not recommend dating a celebrity to anyone.
21. A man in his late twenties had a five-year relationship with a woman who'd had a fitness TV show in the eighties. The sex was, by his account, the best of his life. Fifteen years on from their breakup, he says he's still chasing it and hasn't come close.
22. A woman attended a backstage party after a gig by a well-known 2000s rock band. It was an eye-opener — a constant parade of women, casual sex in the open, and band members treating it all as completely routine. She found the whole thing deeply unsettling and says it's easy to see how that kind of environment warps how men view women.
23. A woman slept with a former MTV Challenge contestant. He's got bags of personality on screen but is apparently utterly blank in person. He made her watch Bill Maher, they had sex, and he snoozed his alarm — set to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" — seventeen times the next morning. She's still in sporadic contact and says she has more research to carry out.
24. A Canadian woman had a months-long fling with one of the Avengers (no, she's not naming names) while he was filming nearby. She went to a film premiere in New York with him. It ended when she met her now-husband. She says it was a brilliant experience and her friends still bring it up.
25. A woman spotted a comedian on TV, decided she fancied him, flirted on MySpace, sat in the front row at his gig, and ended up in his hotel room afterwards. She describes it as the greatest moment of her life — until she got a UTI from being too shy to nip to the loo. He was a gentleman. She never heard from him again.
26. A man's high school sweetheart went on to become a WWE Diva. Things fell apart as her fame grew, and they haven't spoken in over 15 years. He met his wife afterwards and says he wouldn't change a thing — but genuinely hopes she's doing well.
27. A man slept with a woman who later became a prominent TV news journalist. After the deed, she rolled over and went straight to sleep, then wandered out the next morning in his shorts and T-shirt, literally dancing her way out of his flat. Her friend knocked on his door later to retrieve a borrowed dress. He handed it over along with everything else, making clear he wasn't keeping souvenirs. Years later she was on the evening news almost every night.
28. A woman's friend slept with an NBA player. The only memorable detail: he was very insistent on taking the condom with him when he left.
29. A woman slept with a now-deceased rapper on several occasions and stayed at his place in California for a few days. The sex was good but nothing extraordinary. He was completely down-to-earth, not selfish at all, and genuinely easy to be around.
30. Finally, a man ended up in a threesome with a member of a very famous British all-girl pop group. He walked into his kitchen to find her and another woman kissing topless. She turned to him and asked what he planned to do about it. He didn't need to think twice. He calls it one of the best nights of his twenties.
