Crafting a persona in Hollywood is an art form. When it’s done correctly, it can help to propel a celebrity from the fringes of obscurity to the absolute top of the proverbial A-list.
But just because you see your favorite celebrity behaving a certain way on TV or in interviews, don’t presume that’s how they are in real life. Take a look at these 15 celebrities people think are faking their personalities and see what I mean.
“Chris Pratt. I hate to say it but since he and Anna Faris split, his new wife and his Instagram posts are just…weird.” – Reddit u/Yippee614
Chris certainly seems to have turned over a new leaf in recent years. In movies and TV, he comes across like such a fun guy, when in real life — he’s a bit of a zealot .
James Corden
Redditor fayry69 isn’t the first person to accuse James Corden of being “Hollywood fake.” The late-night TV host has quite the reputation for being incredibly rude and abrasive towards fans. All that giggling and joking around we see on TV is just a big farce.
Jared Leto
“He seemed pretty genuine and passionate about art and activism, based on old interviews I had seen. As time has gone on, he seems really self-serving and egotistic, like he sees himself as some profound artist who is changing the world.” – Reddit u/gh0stm4k3r
Jimmy Fallon
Reddit user MrBirb_ thinks that all of Jimmy Fallon’s laughter seems forced — almost as if someone has a gun pointed at him all the time. Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but Jimmy does seem to have a sad clown aesthetic.
Julie Andrews
“A family member worked with her very closely on a few productions,” Reddit user fulthrottlejazzhands said. “She’s tough as nails, way smarter than she leads on, and has the mouth of a truck driver.”
I don’t know about you but I just can’t picture Mary Poppins cursing.
Julia Roberts
This unknown Reddit user claims to know first-hand that Julia is only pretending to be nice. They allegedly worked with Julia on a photoshoot, wherein she terrorized the entire team.
I guess they didn’t call her ” Tinker Hell ” for nothing.
Kevin Hart
“If you watch that documentary about him, you see the mask slip a little when he loses the “everybody’s BFF” persona for a minute and is a REAL scumbag to one of his boys going on a completely unprovoked tirade about how “without ME, you’re NOTHING”.” – Reddit u/UnclePepe
Gordon Ramsay
Rumors of Gordon’s infamous temper and angry disposition have been greatly exaggerated. According to Reddit user tweezer606060, Gordon works with 85% of his original staff and has done so for more than 15 years. If he was such a jerk, why wouldn’t they leave?
Catharine Zeta-Jones
“I used to work at Mandalay Bay in 2002 and she expected you to wait hand and foot on her and then zero tip for anything you did. Oversight is one thing as we understand that it happens with celebrities, but not to this extent.” – Reddit u/IndioFromChino
“J.Lo. Something tells me she isn’t at all like her persona.” – Reddit u/jaws3227
I’m not saying that JLo hasn’t been dealt a tough hand, but the fact of the matter is that she’s been engaged five times and divorced three. At what point do you search for the common denominator and think to yourself, “Maybe I’m the problem”?
Kanye West
Is it all an act? Is Kanye really the greatest musical genius of our time or is it simply a case of the Emperor having no clothes? The world may never know, but one thing is for certain — Kanye can’t be as eccentric as he pretends to be…can he?
Ellen DeGeneres
If anyone has any reservations as to whether or not Ellen is being totally upfront about who she claims to be — watch this interview with Dakota Johnson. Dakota calls out Ellen to her face and it’s positively cringeworthy.
Benedict Cumberbatch
“He carefully avoids having any discerning personality, and we know next to nothing about him,” Redditor Ok_Sheepherder_8313 argues. “Takes talent. Good on you, BC.”
RELATED STORIES
He’s not lying — Benedict has done an exceptional job keeping his personal life personal.
Anne Hathaway
Over the years, Anne Hathaway has been accused of being cold, calculated, and totally disingenuous. She paints herself as being all smiles when behind closed doors — she’s one of the most detested celebs in all of Hollywood.
“Paris Hilton, she’s not nearly as air headed as she pretends to be.” – Reddit u/Teuflisch
Paris Hilton is the farthest thing from an airhead. She’s a TV personality, a businesswoman, and a social media mogul. It’s no exaggeration to say that social media and pop culture as we’ve come to know them today wouldn’t exist without Paris.
