Recently, Jennifer Coolidge confessed to sleeping with over 200 people as a direct result of playing Stifler's Mom in the 1999 movie American Pie.
Intrigued by this, I thought: Hmm...I wonder what other celebs have gone on to hook up with fans (or even date and marry them).
Well, if you're like me and were also wondering, here's a decently comprehensive list I've compiled:

The couple wed in a "top-secret ceremony" in January 2019, and they now share a daughter together.
4.Joe Jonas went on a movie date with a fan and just made out with her the whole time.
In a profile with New York Magazine shortly after the Jonas Brothers broke up, Joe revealed: "Yes, I’ve dated fans. I can’t say that I’ve never put a foot in that world; there were times when I definitely took advantage of the opportunities I had."
5.Riz Ahmed met his wife, Fatima Farheen Mirza, at a café where they jostled over the same laptop plug.
