In the world of celebrity dating, you’d think that sparks, luxury dinners, and fairytale moments are standard. But according to actress Brittany Snow, sometimes things go hilariously — and awkwardly — wrong. During a recent interview on the In Your Dreams with Owen Thiele podcast, Snow opened up about one of her most bizarre dating experiences, and it quickly became a viral moment.

Snow, best known for her roles in Pitch Perfect, John Tucker Must Die, and Hairspray, decided to get real about a date that left her confused, frustrated, and ultimately, amused.

“It was a few years ago when I was on Raya,” she began, referencing the exclusive celebrity dating app. “I was about 28 or 29, and I matched with this guy who’s a really famous DJ — I won’t say his name — but he was someone everyone knows.”

Their first date was casual and seemingly promising. They hit it off, shared laughs, and went back to his place. That’s when things took a strange turn.

“We were making out, and then… he just stopped,” she said. “I looked over, and he had literally fallen asleep mid-kiss. At first, I thought maybe he was joking. But no — he was out. Completely asleep on the couch.”

Snow didn’t know how to react. Was he just tired? Was she that boring? Was it something else?

“I thought maybe it was just a one-time thing,” she explained with a laugh. “People get tired. Jet lag, maybe. He apologized later and said he was just exhausted from traveling.”

But the bizarre behavior didn’t end there. A second date followed — and history repeated itself.

“We were back at my place this time,” she continued. “We were kissing again, and it was actually kind of cute. Then I felt him stop moving. I turned around… and he was sleeping again. This time he was snoring.”

At that point, Snow realized it wasn’t just about exhaustion. “It was like kissing a narcoleptic golden retriever,” she joked. “Honestly, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.”

Rather than feeling insulted, Snow decided to see the humor in it. “I wasn’t heartbroken or anything. I’d just gotten out of a serious relationship, so I wasn’t even emotionally invested yet. But I remember thinking: this is dating in Hollywood.”

She also reflected on the unrealistic expectations people have about celebrity relationships. “Everyone thinks dating a famous person is glamorous, but no one talks about how awkward it can be — like when your date falls asleep in the middle of making out.”

Snow didn’t reveal the DJ’s identity, but fans were quick to speculate on social media. While many tried to guess who the “very famous” nap-prone celebrity might be, others focused on the bigger message: dating can be weird, no matter who you are.

“This is exactly why I don’t trust dating apps — even the exclusive ones,” one Twitter user commented. Another joked, “He probably thought she was a lullaby.”

The podcast episode quickly went viral, with fans praising Snow’s down-to-earth honesty and sense of humor. “She’s so relatable,” one fan wrote. “Imagine making out with someone famous and they just KO right there. I’d scream.”

For Snow, the takeaway wasn’t bitterness — it was resilience and self-awareness.

“I’ve learned that if someone’s not showing up for you — even in small ways — you don’t have to take it personally,” she said. “Sometimes, it’s just their stuff. Not yours.”

She also emphasized the importance of dating for fun — especially when healing from past relationships.

“I wasn’t looking for anything serious. And honestly, now I have a great story. Who else can say a world-famous DJ used their face as a pillow?”

Since that awkward episode, Snow has had her share of ups and downs in love. In 2020, she married realtor and reality TV star Tyler Stanaland, but the couple reportedly separated in 2022. Since then, she’s been focusing on herself, her career, and, clearly, a few misadventures in dating.

While she didn’t name names, the story has definitely stirred curiosity and laughter across the internet. Whether or not the identity of the sleepy DJ is ever revealed, fans are loving the candid, comedic side of Brittany Snow.

In an industry known for PR-friendly love stories and perfectly curated Instagram romances, Snow’s confession felt like a breath of fresh air. Because sometimes, even the most “perfect” date can end with someone falling asleep — literally.
