While it’s true that fans make or break a celebrity, it’s no news that too much obsession can turn into harmful delusion leading to stalking, weird encounters, and even worse stuff. There are several lengths some fans will go to express their undying love for their favorite stars. Here are four shocking stories of extraordinary, eccentric, and bizarre ways fans showed their devotion to their favorite celebrities!
The Name Change:
In a move that takes fan dedication to a whole new level, one woman decided to change her name legally to Kanyeresa West to get his attention. While it’s unclear whether Kanye himself was impressed, it’s safe to say that a name change is just next-level fandom!
The La La Land Promposal:
Emma Stone had her La La Land moment in real life too…like literally. A determined teenager took matters into his own hands by recreating and rewriting the film’s iconic opening scene to ask Emma to prom. Emma respectfully declined the invitation as she was shooting in London, but this fan certainly deserves an A+ for effort and creativity!
A Job Is Temporary but Taylor Swift Is Forever:
The idea of quitting a job might seem extreme, but for a dedicated Swiftie, it was a canon event. An Argentine superfan quit her nine-to-five to camp in front of the stadium, ensuring she got the best spot for Taylor Swift’s show. Who needs a job when you can stand front row for your favorite artist, right?
If Jessie J hurts, I hurt:
That’s exactly what a fan said in 2011. Breaking a leg for your favorite celebrity might sound like a metaphor, but this time it was literal. Mirroring Jessie J’s leg injury in 2011, this obsessive fan broke her leg to match her idol.
Which story do you think is the weirdest? And have you ever come across crazier stories?
