Celebrities really are people just like the rest of us, which means they experience a lot of the same things we all do, including seemingly odd crushes that are often on other famous people. Regina Hall has been particularly open about her crush on the Dalai Lama. She told the New York Post, "He's the cutest thing!"

It turns out that Hall has even had the chance to meet her crush, and while doing so she made sure she didn't waste the opportunity. She said, "When he turned 80, he had a birthday dinner and they asked me to be on a panel, and we each had to ask him a question. I asked for a kiss."

Hall doubled down on her crush when she was interviewed by The Courier Mail. She joked that the Dalai Lama is really her one true crush, saying, "Ohhhh, I love him, if he would only have me. But, he seems kind of, you know, stuck on being the Dalai Lama." Though in all seriousness, it sounds like Hall has a tremendous respect for the leader. As she told the publication, her favorite thing about him is that he really engages with someone while speaking to them, making them feel like they are the only people in that moment.
