Q&A for How to Make Friends With Famous People

It is generally easier for a famous person to make FAKE friends. When you're famous, people want to be friends with you because of the fame and the fortune. If you are not famous, you are more likely to find true, genuine friends.

You can't. You can be as nice as possible and try to impress them, but you can't make anyone fall in love with you at any point, even a celebrity.

Sending a message would be good, or maybe a video to capture their attention. Don't expect a lot though, as celebrities often don't reply.

Sure, they'd probably like that. If you're doing it in person, though, try not to take up too much of their time. Maybe just sing one verse instead of the whole song.

DM this artist and say that you do art too. Don't say things like "I was inspired by your art and would love to have your skills," instead, be more friendly. Act more like you're reaching out to an old friend. You could even ask if they'd want to collaborate sometime.

You could try sending him or her a request--just one, though. If you send the celebrity multiple requests, you may end up looking desperate. Be very patient and wait for the celebrity to reply; they tend to be very busy people. Keep in mind that not all celebrities reply to message and requests, so don't get discouraged if yours gets ignored or rejected; it's nothing personal.

Try adding them on other social media platforms, like Instagram or Twitter.

The best way is to do a little research if you already haven't on the person you are trying to become friends with. Then just email, tweet, or Facebook them and send a message stating how big of a fan you are and have some facts so you could so that you agree with some of their opinions that they have on certain subjects, depending on what you find while researching.

Keep trying to get in touch, but try not to expect too much. Famous people are usually very busy, so they may never respond, or it may take a really long time.

You can't really "make" a celebrity add you on any social media platform. You just have to cross your fingers and hope they do.

Try liking their channels and their videos. Message them and tell them you liked their videos.

Celebrities constantly get fan mail. The only way to start 'something' is if you write about how they are important to you and what they do is inspirational to you and that you look up to them. Try to remain calm during the meet and greet so that you don't seem like the regular overexcited fan.

Don't act like a fangirl/fanboy around them. Try to play it cool. Talk to them like they are a friend you speak to every day. This will probably attract their attention.

If you can relate or know each other well, then yes.

Using social media will only allow you to see famous people's posts, not become their actual friends. You shouldn't be trying to become friends with famous people, anyway. No one likes or respects people who spend their time trying to meet famous people. It's really shallow.

The same way as with anyone else: you have to hang out together, chat, talk, listen, spend time, open up, get to know them and let them get to know you. Of course, the celebrity has to want to get to know you, too. It's not that you're not worth it, of course; it's that celebrities have thousands of fans who would love to be able to say "We're friends", but what's in it for the celebrity? If you can put aside the celebrity thing and take an interest in the other person's true self, that is worthwhile. As to how to initially get to the celebrity, you could get famous yourself, or get lucky.

Wait until they come to your country or a country near yours and travel there.

Well, if you are under the age of 18, first let your parents know. Then if they allow you to go, pick a place that both of you would enjoy going, maybe somewhere equidistant from your house and hers (if you also live in California), and make plans to meet up!

If you can't go to them, you'll have to wait for them to come to you. Check out their schedules online; maybe they'll go on a tour that includes your country, which will be your chance to meet them.

Then talk to your parents about it. Famous people have many followers and fans so it is not likely that they will become friends with you, but don't give up.

Yes, try to DM them on Instagram and tell them that you have met before and wanted to say hi. I once tried this and it worked... but be patient. If they reply, try to make small talk. But don't be surprised if they don't reply, they probably don't trust such messages as they're bound to receive many such messages and not all of them would be the truth.

You need to make an effort by providing things that interest people. For example, you could try to make a video and tag people. Then be patient or ask people to comment if they liked it. Keep being interesting and fun and people will eventually notice you; it's not something that happens without effort.

Be very polite, and be yourself. And be patient you can’t really force him to like you; you need to behave like a person he'd like to know.

Celebrities are surrounded by people and fans 24/7. The likelihood that an average person who does not have mutual connections with the celeb, work in the same industry or live in the same vicinity of the celeb becoming friends with them is very low. Move on and make friends from people you see and are around daily.

By all means, yes, tag them. They may really like it. In your caption, you could try something like - "I have made this for you, I would really like your opinion," (then tag). Always be open to whatever results or answers they may give, Remember that they have their own likes and dislikes.

Be yourself, participate on their actual fan page and/or join their fan pages. You can also message their inbox, use a common interest you both have but don't be pushy and overact on your liking them, as they get that all the time.

You can always find a common interest and try to strike up a conversation with them, or ask about their day, pet, or a movie, etc. They may be in. But always be yourself and never fabricate, be original. Humor sometimes works as well. Most of all, be patient, as most have very busy lives.
