Let’s be honest - sometimes we imagine some scenarios in our heads, for example, if we met our favorite celebrities, how we would chat with them, take photos and say how much they mean to us, right? And in our scenario, everybody is nice and we have created this image that celebrities are the nicest people, they love their fans and so on. Well, no. They are also humans and unfortunately, not all people are nice.
Speaking about celebrities who actually turned out to be jerks in real life, one Reddit user created a thread online asking people to share celebrities who are rude once the cameras are off. Scroll through and check it out!

Ellen Degeneres. It just really sucks that she’s such a hypocritical b***h
interviewed zachary quinto once. i could tell he was very talented and he would be going very far with his career in a more thespian-like manner. he wasn’t a terrible person but he was unsurprisingly - how do i put this… um, well - conceited. obviously he can back it up; he’s very talented but, c’mon - it’s still just acting.if anyone loves Chris Pine, he is absolutely charming in real life; knows how to address fans and press. a total sweetheart.but the biggest sweetheart of them all is Elijah Wood. what a great actor to interview. humble, kind, sensitive, and very very sweet natured. *edit: love seeing this confirmed in other’s personal experiences!!
Many years ago I volunteered for a charity. We had an event where Jim Carey was a keynote speaker and guest. This was shortly after “Mask” was released.When Jim Carey showed up, he was a ck to everyone.When the event started, we expected him to still be a ck. Nope, it’s like he flipped a switch and became “Jim Carey” and wowed the audience.Walked off stage and was a c**k again.
Bill Nye.Was a huge fan growing up. My brother works for NASA at Goddard in Maryland and Mr Nye has been a guest speaker for a number of events. The dude is apparently, according to my brother and his colleagues, a total jerk and gets a little creepy with the ladies. Anytime I’ve shared this, I get a fair amount of people disbelieving or say it’s probably a misunderstanding. Look into it for yourself and I’m sure you’ll find many anecdotes of him being an a*s.
Jared Leto, I’ve read all the stories and the guy is just awful.
Steve Martin. Started out as a promising young, black inventor with great ideas about eyeglasses. Eventually let all the wealth get to his head and wound up broke again after his glasses left customers crosseyed. What a shame.
I lived in Oklahoma when Twister was filmed. Locals who worked/dealt with Helen Hunt, referred to her as Helen C**t.
Will Smith. Loved him as a kid and was one my favorite actors since the fresh prince and and the movies up to Pursuit of HappynessThen all that cringe family drama and then him smacking Chris Rock was the deal breaker for me and I no longer like him
Surprised no one has mentioned Bill Murray. Then again maybe it’s not that much of a surprise?
Chevy Chase
Finding out Ricky Gervais is a d**k irl was extremely disappointing. I work in film, and wanted to work with him so badly that I took a huge pay cut to work on his movie “special correspondents” and he was an absolute terror on set. Longest 2 months of my career.
My Dad worked as a chef in various restaurants over the years and got to meet quite a few celebrities that way. The one that always stuck out to me was when he told me he got to serve dinner to Richard Dreyfuss. I had always liked his movies and brand of humor. To me, he seemed like a nice guy.My Dad told me he was incredibly rude and entitled, demanding that the staff not speak to him at all. They comped his meal as a courtesy but never received a compliment or thank you. Like dude, next time, just go through a drive-thru if you don’t want to interact with people.
I’m still a huge fan, but when I met Danny Elfman backstage after an Oingo Boingo concert, he was a total dk! He was a dk to this other guy first, making funny faces at him while he was saying what a big fan he was. He was openly mocking the poor guy. Then, he was a d**k to my date, a nice young woman who simply asked a question. I was shocked. All the other guys were nice, especially Johnny Vatos and the horn section guys. I have heard other people say they met him and he was nice, so maybe I got him on a bad night, but still. I could have the day from hell and I’d still be nice to people, especially ones who like me.
Rolf Harris - a jerk would be putting what he did mildly but he was beloved in a sweet eccentric uncle way without giving off a false vibe like some other ‘nice guy’ celebs. When a few older celebrities in Britain got accused of crimes a lot of them were not considered that surprising, but Rolf was the person people felt a genuine sense of shock towards; it felt like a betrayal.
Jonah Hill
soulja boy. not that surprising but this situation stands out among the celebs i’ve met.my sister in law & i were out shopping in LA with my nephew in a stroller. we passed a famous shoe store and saw soulja boy run out with a few boxes of shoes. a guy in the store ran out after him saying “you didn’t pay! come back”. soulja boy tries to open his car door but it’s not working for some reason. he sees the guy still standing there so he runs back with the shoes while laughing and saying “haha just joking man chill”. what really pissed me off was that when he ran back into the store he damn near knocked my nephew’s stroller over and just looked at us like “so?” f***g dk.

Adam Baldwin - I always generally enjoyed his work in movies and loved Jayne in Firefly. then I ran into Baldwin on witter many years ago and saw what he’s like.Joss Whedon goes in the same category, but for different reasons
Morris Dees, the founder of The Poverty Law Center, whom I had admired for years. Then he was fired, allegedly for sexual harassment and his treatment of minority staff.
It seems like Julia Roberts is not really that nice when not in front of a camera.I grew up watching her movies since my mom and aunt are big fans and I’ve always thought she was a sweet amazing beautiful lady.Turns out she’s really not.
Tobey Maguire
I’ve heard Jason Bateman is a d**k and that makes me really upset
The Weeknd. Unfollowed that guy everywhere smh
I run a recording studio and I get some celebrities now and again mostly doing voice overs.I had Danica Patrick doing voice over for a tv show she produced about racing.She thought the read was only a few lines, but they had like 10 pages for her.She lost her st when I handed her the script. She spent almost 40 minutes on the phone yelling at her assistant and other people about it…Instead of just fg doing the read.When she finally calmed down, she was a huge a**e to the producers on the phone listening in. Its typical for them to ask the reader things like, “gives us one more take of that a little slower…” When they would, she would explode about how much time she is giving them already and she is only going to read each thing once.It was really cringe. I always wonder how much she was paid for that and was so just unaware of how lucky she is.
As a Canadian. Shania Twain is a HUGE B***h.
Rachael Ray. She seems pretty outgoing and friendly but I’ve read on several different platforms that she’s an ahole. It’s a shame.

Gary Burghoff, better known as Corporal Radar from M* A* S* H. Apparently he is not as much of a teddy bear as one would expect.
Michael Jordan
I got into an internet argument with John Dimaggio (voice of Bender) when I was like 14 years old. This was over email using my hotbot account at the time (just to date myself), sometime before Futurama premiered..To be fair I’m not sure if he was the jerk or I was. Wish I still had those emails
Tyrese Gibson, Emma Roberts, Edward Norton, Michael Peña
Zoey Deschanel
Bruce Willis. Not super surprised I suppose, but really disappointed.
