Justin Bieber groping Fan — Via Twitter/@jocelynnbieber.

It's all fun and games until Justin Bieber gets handsy! Seriously... what the heck, perv?!

What would you do if you suddenly found yourself seated next to Nic Cage on your next flight? Or what if you bumped into a dazed-looking Gerard Butler stumbling around the sidewalk after a night on the town?

Awesome, right? For fans, spotting a favorite celebrity in public is completely exciting. However, for the stars in question... maybe not so much?

Sometimes these celebrity/fan encounters can become downright awkward and hilarious, which is where we come in. Check out the following fans who met their favorite celebs, only to have the awkwardness of their encounter captured on the internet forever.

Nicolas Cage

The man, the meme, the legend! Nicolas Cage is no stranger to internet fandom, but even he needs to catch a little shut-eye on the plane! Give him some space, lady.

Britney Spears

Here's Britney Spears and a fan doing their best "I have to make a pee pee" pose. Not awkward at all.

Hugh Jackman

Let's all say howdy to Hugh Grant, who just wants to find a quiet spot to nurse his hangover in peace, thank you very much.

Avril Lavigne

Avril Lavigne is kind of well known for these sorts of extremely uncomfortable fan meet and greet sessions. She always looks extremely uncomfortable while meeting her fans, almost as if she doesn't want to be there at all. Huh.

Please, everybody remember to leave one full square foot of breathing room around The Avril at all times!

Alfonso Ribiero

Alfonso Ribiero doesn't seem very impressed by this fan's impromptu Carlton dance, but I think he nailed it!

Gerard Butler

Poor Gerard Butler was either caught mid-blink, or he just rolled out of the nearest pub. Or both.

Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks seems like a genuinely cool guy, inspite of that whole shirtless selfie incident a few years back.

Iggy Pop

We'd feel the same way about Iggy Pop touching us, kiddos! Cool guy, but he's like 90% sinew at this point.

Patrick Stewart

There's something about this picture that makes us think that Captain Picard (AKA Patrick Stewart) is not altogether engaged. Also, is he sitting on a stool, or is that fan reeeeally tall?

Khloe Kardashian

Isn't that nice? Looks like Khloe Kardashian has made a new BFF.

Jerry Seinfeld

Jerry Seinfeld will sign your autograph, but he will not be happy about it.

Keanu Reeves

Careful, man... you'll upset the vagrant formerly known as Keanu Reeves. And nobody wants a Sad Keanu.

Luke Perry

This fan definitely has an "I heart Dylan" tattoo somewhere on her body, and Luke Perry definitely does NOT want to see it.
