Benson Boone has officially delivered the most hilariously awkward celebrity story of the year. On the“Life Uncut”podcast, airing Friday, October 2, the singer recalled the moment a fan walked in on him at a backstage urinal during one of his concerts, with his pants fully down. The reason? A running gag with his friends. The problem? That backstage bathroom was shared with the audience.
Boone said he didn’t even look at first. When he finally turned around mid-stream, the fan gasped,“Oh my gosh, you’re Benson Boone!”In true pop-star-promo mode, he responded by asking if she was coming to the show. He didn’t share when or where any of this happened, which only makes the story better. Just know somewhere out there is a fan with the best meet-cute-gone-wrong story ever told.
The timing is perfectly on brand for a chaotic year. Boone is 24, just wrapped his U.S. tour, and is now deep into his third studio album. A bathroom mishap, a gasp, and a question about tickets. Honestly, that’s the most relatable rock-star moment we’ve seen in a long time.
What’s the most awkward place you’ve ever run into a celebrity? Drop it in the comments.
