Most people can remember at least one classmate who seemed destined to become someone, but very few can say they actually went to school with a future superstar. For some people, the famous kid was already getting attention before graduation, while others had no idea that the quiet person sitting nearby would eventually become a household name. Reddit users recently shared stories about the most famous people they went to school with, revealing everything from classmates who were surprisingly normal to students whose talents were impossible to miss. These stories offer a fun glimpse at celebrities before the fame, when they were simply another person in the classroom.IMDbRue McClanahanBoth the poster’s parents went to school with Rue McClanahan, who later became famous as Blanche Devereaux on The Golden Girls.

Years later, they ran into each other on a street in Los Angeles and Dunst remembered their school days.IMDbBill GatesOne Reddit user simply answered Bill Gates, while another comment on the same response indicated they had gone to college with Gates and his younger brother Steve.

Kariya went on to become an NHL star, win two Olympic medals, and enter the Hockey Hall of Fame.IMDbKatie HolmesOne person remembered Katie Holmes as their “mother” in an elementary school family group made up of students from fifth through eighth grade.

The comment offered no additional story, but the name alone makes for an impressive former schoolmate.IMDbKim FieldsOne Reddit user said Kim Fields was their schoolmate.
