People are sharing some of the best celebrity run-in stories they've had in Vancouver, and there are so many good ones.

It's no secret that B.C. is home to the filming of some epic shows and movies — including hits like Riverdale, Virgin River and even Twilight. This draws in a very elite crowd, who are often spotted walking around the streets of Vancouver.

Sometimes you'll just spot a famous face while strolling around, but other times it will be a hilarious interaction that you can share for years to come.

Hearing the stories gives a bit of insight into celebrities' real personalities, which is so fun.

In a Reddit thread, people are giving up all the gossip on where they saw celebrities and what they were like. Who knows — if you live in the city, you might have a story of your own to add to the thread!

It seems like The Rock is just as impressive in person as on the screen.

One user said: "Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) when I worked at a private gym. Met Keanu Reeves there too. Both nice guys, not high maintenance at all. The Rock has insane charisma; it was very difficult as a woman to stay composed around him, LOL. He is very charming and extremely handsome. Prior to meeting him I didn’t think he was that attractive honestly, but he is. Very powerful aura. Sounds like a cliché but he truly has that magnetic 'it factor.'"
