People Talk About Which Celebrities Are Totally Different Behind The Scenes (30 Answers)
What you see isn’t always what you get. At least, according to the people on r/AskReddit, the third biggest subreddit on the site. Some redditors got together and started gossiping about which of the most popular stars and performers might not be as genuine as we might think.
The author of the thread, redditor u/0belisktheT, sparked a discussion after asking people for their thoughts on which celebrities might be “faking their entire personality.” We’ve collected some of the most interesting replies, Pandas, so have a scroll down and read through some of their thoughts and suspicions.
Entertainment, pop culture, lifestyle, and celebrity expert Mike Sington was kind enough to enlighten us here at Bored Panda about the relationship between celebrities and being genuine. Mike told me that it's difficult to know for sure if a star is truly being genuine or not. "You have to be quite a detective to figure out if a celebrity is being genuine," he said.
"Even with cross-referencing social media with media appearances, with what their friends and other celebrities say about them, you may never figure it out," Mike explained to Bored Panda how difficult things can get for amateur celebrity sleuths. "Some are actually that good at creating an image. And along with their team, it becomes an actual business. Even with all that, slip-ups occur. Watch for the celebrity apology which is almost a certain sign that something genuine occurred." Scroll down to read the rest of the celebrity expert's thoughts.
Got any ideas about which beloved celeb might be putting on an act? Want to rave about a chance meeting with a star in real life? Drop us a line or two in the comment section at the bottom of this article. Though, keep in mind that even if some stars might be pretending to be better than they are, many are pretty open about what they’re like.

Gordon Ramsay…. I curse worse when I run a kitchen and it’s all an act… he’s retained like 85% of his staff for more than 15 years I’ve read… if he was really an a-hole they’d leave
I actually don't think it's an act. He is nice when they do good job but furious when they mess up, just like most people but he shows it
Gordon doesn't strike me as a poser. Cursing profusely and being an a-hole is NOT the same thing, there are plenty of complete a-holes that never curse.
And his mother. He does NOT cuss in front of his mother!

On his India episode he seemed so relatable. And all his recipes are such fun to make.

I've met Gordon, it was as he was just beginning to make a name for himself as a chef. He was lovely, signed stuff for us and was chatting about starting a career in food. I met several other celebrity chefs and he was by far the nicest and made time for me and my friends.
I've seen his first local "performances" when it was a small budget production and compared it with a more recent one in the same day and I could tell the difference was huge! I don't know if it happened naturally or if it was more "oriented": "Can you scream more and drop F bombs here and there?", "Can you please break something?", "Can you chose one of these insults I've written? I'm sure the public will love them!" "OK can we please try another take? You reacted too rationally." ...
Everything I have heard about him is that he's tough but fair. If you are trying your best, he will be lenient, but if you're being an idiot, he'll unload on you. That being said, I am guessing the personality is exaggerated for all of the kitchen competition shows. His cooking shows with just him in a kitchen are fantastic.
He seems to treat his workers quite fairly....just got to handle the cursing when you mess up...but that seems to be part of the package. Lol
To be honest, i used to hate him because I thought he treated the people harshly, but when I watched him in YouTube, I was ashamed to judge him so quickly.
Quite honestly, when my husband and I met Gordon Ramsay, he was very lovely, and patient when my son asked him loads of questions. On the other end of the spectrum, Andrew Zimmerman is a straight up asshole. When you see him on TV, he's all nice and gracious and thankful. Go to an expensive meet and greet, he is a jerk who can't wait to get out of there.
Whoops, meant Andrew Zimmern. Damn mobile
Load More Replies... For all those who hang onto the belief that Ramsay is as bad-ass as he seems on camera...yeah, not at all. I get it, people want to believe what they believe and for some, reality is simply unacceptable. But, having worked around the man in various situations, I can tell you he is actually a good man. He takes care of "his people" and even when someone messes up he is civil. Sure, if you keep screwing up he might tell you to get lost, but with those just starting in the kitchen he is patient, helpful and kind. He will show you the right way and then step away to let you do it alone. If you screw up, he comes back to show you again. It's only if you keep screwing up that I've seen him get impatient and even then, it is low key.
I think he's just very honest and intense. Sometimes he's super sweet in his shows, totally depends on the other persons attitude.
Gordon Ramsay has a MUCH higher level of expectation for the Chefs in HK, as they are professionals and not Home Cooks or children. His words and actions demonstrate such
I've heard that he's an a-hole to when he *knows* they can do better and they're just trying to skate by. But over all, the consensus is he's actually a nice guy.
Running a restaurant with high price tags and needing reviews to equal, one bad review from a well heeled, can actually ruin you. Michelin Stars are actually life and death to many Chefs. I believe Gordon Ramsay, like so many artists, lives to produce an experience for those that choose his establishments. Unless you have been passionate about the industry, you will never understand.
That's obvious when you watch the British version of his shows. U.S. Ramsay = angry, verbally abusive Ramsey. UK Ramsay = totally nice, calm, polite Ramsay. You can see it when he works with kids too. Of course it's an act.
I once started an International Hospitality Management major thinking the same thing. Let me assure you, it's not. The WHOLE industry is that abusive, you just have to be able to shake that level of abuse off. I couldn't, had a nervous breakdown a few months in, and now I'm in IT.
I wonder at times if anyone would accept to work long term with that volatile 'act' anyhow?
You should see how some doctors treat nurses they've worked with for years...hospitals pay really well if you are a registered nurse or the like but you have to put up with a lot of crap...the hospital administrator will ALWAYS side with the physicians as they bring in the money! I'm talking throwing papers and sometimes surgical instruments! It's like working with a bunch of over privileged toddlers!

he loses his sh*t when he sees dangerous things going on in kitchens. people can get extremely sick and even die due to tainted/spoiled food and unsanitary conditions. i met him years ago during the height of hells kitchen and i was SHOCKED at how soft spoken and kind he was.
I think he just used to swear a lot (i know a lot of very kind hardworking people who swear like truckers, it just seems to be a thing) but tv producers turned that into "hes an asshole". Now its his tv persona, its what hes hired for, so he has to act the part. No one will pay to watch gordon ramsey be nice. And of course he has to escalate over the years since tv is getting progressively more ridiculous and fake. Theres a pretty big argument to be made that anyone whose a real person on tv is still am actor playing themselves. A news reporter even won a case over this.
I still laugh at the episode where he took two pieces of bread between a Hell's Kitchen contestant's head and said what are you? She replied with I'm an idiot sandwich lol
Load More Replies... Plus, he has serious skills as a chef. I love it when he tells half-witted restaurant owners how to run a proper business.
I love how he acts around children. He always seems really encouraging and helpful.
Imagine being paid to completley let out all your frustration and anger about the "stupid people" around you ... instead of being "civilized" and "nice". I would totaly do that, without any regrets.
hes not an asshole just hard on people. and he knows when to hold back a bit more, as seen in masterchef junior
Try speaking to Marcus Waring, a former protégé of Ramsey's. An not stand him anymore.
Here's the thing - if you should know better, he's disappointed, he screams at you [exaggerated for TV, I'm sure]. If you don't know better and you just need a little help, he's happy to teach you [e.g., his children's cooking shows].
Getting yelled at when you screw up is just a way of life in a professional kitchen. It's not unique to him. He's lovely.
It has to be an act. It's what makes his show interesting after all. If he was like this, not only his staff would leave, he would probably slip from time to time and curse at inappropriate moments.
Yeah read this while article in buzzfeed a few days ago. Is time so bad u guys are copyong from buzzfeed? Really?
"Like" 85% of his staff. Did he clone them? Why or god why, do people have to add "like" to a sentence which never needed it?
Julie Andrews aka Mary Poppins. A family member worked with her very closely on a few productions. She's tough as nails, way smarter than she leads on, and has the mouth of a truck driver.
I actually have no problem believing this. Were there people who thought she wasn't smart?
Almost all heavy metal rockers are anything but moody devil worshipers. It's always been hilarious to me that in reality, Alice Cooper is a soft-spoken Christian.
I was interested to get celeb expert Mike's take about the pros and cons of celebrities creating completely fabricated personalities for themselves. According to him, it can be a financially lucrative decision, but one that's exhausting.
"The pro of creating an image or personality is that it sells," Mike shared with Bored Panda. "The image becomes a money-maker which leads to more work." There is, however, a major drawback here.
"The con is it's exhausting. It's very difficult leading a non-authentic life, constantly worrying about what you're doing and saying. It can also be expensive, hiring people whose job is to create that image."
Old skool here: Marilyn Monroe.
She acted like a ditzy blond but behind the scenes she was hella smart and something of a literary buff (one reason she was attracted to Arthur Miller).
Benedict Cumberbatch. He carefully avoids having any discerning personality, and we know next to nothing about him.
Takes talent. Good on you, BC
Worked at a hotel and met Pitbull. Really polite guy and seemed humble. His whole crew got big a** rooms with the best available accommodations. Pitbull got a small single queen and he basically cleaned his own room before he left. The girl that was him was anything but basic
The expert also revealed to Bored Panda that the celebrities we're most drawn to, the stars we're most fascinated by, are most like us in terms of character. Like attracts like, whether we're talking about niceness, drama, or mystery.
"I’m going to be brutally honest," Mike told Bored Panda. "I think people who are genuine and nice themselves are more drawn to celebrities who are genuine and nice, and people who revel in drama are more drawn to the celebrities who are always involved in drama."
Rammstein. They look like they beat up old grannie for fun, but they are a wholesome bunch.
Also Slipknot. I played football backstage with them at a festival, and they were really sweet and polite.
Mariah Carey
She gets away with being a diva because people love it when she “slays” people but she’s actually a huge b**ch. She’s constantly bringing down other women in the music industry, and people hate working with her because her demands are too high.
Now I have a reason to hate her besides having to hear that wretched "All I Want for Christmas" every day for two months straight at work.
Julia Roberts! I worked on a photoshoot with her and all I gotta say is wow...from the moment she showed up to the moment she left, screaming at everyone about everything. An absolute b**ch to the nicest people who didn’t do anything to deserve it. Apparently, that is how she always behaves when there are no cameras on her. Lost every ounce of respect I had for her after that day.
During another recent chat with celebrity expert Mike, Bored Panda learned that we should put aside any and all expectations when we’re meeting our heroes, whether they’re well-known or niche celebrities.
"When meeting a celebrity in person, get rid of all expectations. Expectations can just lead to disappointment. Some celebrities are just like they seem on screen, some are not. You’ll most likely have the best encounter if you go into it with zero expectations,” Mike told me earlier.
Paris Hilton, she's not nearly as airheaded as she pretends to be
Bono pretends to care about less fortunate people and he was named in the Panama Papers list of tax cheats. Hypocritical piece of s**t. Wyclef Jean's Haiti charity was a scam too, his AMA was a hilarious disaster. Heard that Ellen Degeneres isn't as nice as she is on tv.
Tucker Carlson knows 90 percent of what he peddles is bulls**t. He's just a sociopathic grifter.
The expert, who has met hundreds of celebrities during his lengthy career, said that we should try to be as genuine and natural as we can before meeting a star.
"Stay grounded and be yourself, it’s really just a situation of a person meeting a person. Keep it that way and you’ll keep the celebrity comfortable. You don’t want to scare them off!"
All the big kpop bands. They’re so overworked. There have been so many occasions where they collapse on stage from exhaustion. They basically sign their whole life away to a company at such a young age, often becoming trainees at age 13. And yet they manage to keep their public image so polished and perfect, with none of the behind the scenes explicitly on show.
Jimmy Fallon laughs like he has a sniper pointed at him at all times set to fire when he doesn’t laugh dramatically
Guest: So I went to the supermarket. JF: Really? *laughs* what? *throws head back and slaps the desk* no way...you did *continuous cackling*
Adam Levine, a few years ago he had an act in Latin America's biggest music festival "Festival de Viña del Mar" in Chile, he was a massive a**hole, he asked the whole staff to not look at him in the eyes, instead made people turn around and look at the walls whenever he was walking, also he looked like he was hating to sing there as he had an angry expression all the time, his clothes were all dirty and his act was TERRIBLE (also he was like an hour late), the singing and everything he did on the scenario showed how much he hates to be there after like a 30 minutes show he stormed out and insulted everybody and the city itself. This festival is well known worldwide and there are an estimated 50 million people watching the show on TV and online, so everyone watched him being and a**hole and there was news about it around the world, so at the end, he recorded himself saying sorry and stuff.
He IS a massive d**k, he insulted the city by saying "f*****g town" and even the presenter of the festival spoke about his terrible experience with Adam and the whole band. Even to this day, Chilean people can't stand him as he insulted one of the most important events in our country.
"We tend to think celebrities are just being nice and kind because we think they have to do that to be successful. After all, who wants to admire a miserable celebrity? What we fail to realize is most celebrities are genuinely nice and kind, and you can definitely take advantage of that by being nice and kind yourself. That’s what creates a positive celebrity encounter," the expert shared his view that most stars are genuinely nice people.
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”
Kesha. Her rapey boss made her act like a trashy junkie to sell more albums. She actually is not like that but a religious person.
to be fair, trashy junkie and religious person aren't mutually exclusive.
I'm friends with someone who worked on a set with Bruce Willis. An intern at one point went up to him and told him how much he loved and appreciated his work. Bruce smiled and said thank you, and as soon as the intern walked away went to the guy's manager and proclaimed he would leave set if the intern wasn't fired immediately. The kid was fired and its pretty f**ked considering how much time and work he probably put in just to get to that point
"Celebrities have no problem being admired by their fans! Keep that in mind if you run into your favorite star. They know meeting fans, and interacting with them, comes with the territory, and is part of their chosen profession," he said.
"If you’re feeling nervous, just think to yourself, ‘This person is a star because of me. This person is successful because of me. I actually pay their salary by purchasing, or viewing, or listening to what they produce.’ Then go for it, as long as your timing is right and you’re not interrupting a personal or work moment," Mike told Bored Panda.
I don't know why but I feel Ellen DeGeneres fakes her personality. Just look at her episode with the actress from 50 shades [Dakota Johnson].
Jennifer Lawrence isn’t actually a party girl that drinks. She is a super put-together actress pretending to be relatable.
Any of those YouTubers who are geared towards kids. If they were half as happy as they act, their eyes wouldn't look so dead
You don't fake a personality, you have a persona which is a separate contextual appearance of your personality. The same way you might act differently in front of your colleagues vs your friends vs your family, some celebrities might have different behaviours that they put on to suit the version of themselves that relate to their public career.
That being said Samuel L. Jackson had so much success with some of the characteristics of his earlier roles that he constructed them very successfully into his entire career persona.
The Kardashians.
Their entire on screen persona is carefully crafted by Kris Jenner.
Chris Pratt.
I hate to say it but since he and Anna Faris split, his new wife and his Instagram posts are just…weird.
Tell me if I'm wrong but ever since he lose weight also lose his goofiness and he's just another Macho man with abs and Hot Kennedy wife
Could be wrong about this. But I am starting to think that Joe *the bro Jesus" Rogan is actually an insecure little man.
I don’t know about insecure, but he’s quite the covidiot, apparently. https://www.odt.co.nz/star-news/star-national/joe-rogan-slams-jacinda-ardern-over-press-conference-heckler
I know for a fact that Cetherine Zeta Jones is a b**ch who treats regular people like complete s**t IRL. 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.
Jeremy Piven is also a MAJOR A**HOLE IRL. When I was working at a cafe in Brentwood back in 2005 he was notorious for being a d**k to all the waitresses there. So much so that he had to be removed on more than one occasion.
Demi Lovato. I believed it after their overdose but the second documentary promoting an album, coming out as NB, the selective outrage…it just feels like they are desperate to stay in the headlines and stay relevant. They have such a stunningly beautiful voice and are so talented! I wish they felt like they could just relax and be themself. I used to really like them but now I just feel sad for them.
Yeah... I'm a recovering addict n have dealt with an ED most of my life.. I'm open about both of these things for the most part but the only fucken time I talk about them unprovoked is times like this. The fact that EVERYTIME they open their mouth it's either about their own ED or their addiction it just makes me think that they're either lying about it or exaggerating for attention. N I hate saying that s**t because I don't like minimizing ppl or their experiences... but I'm an addict... I've spent years around other addicts.... n never have I ever met anyone who talks about their addiction n ED as much as them.. even in fucken NA n rehab Havent met anyone who talks about their past issues as much as Demi does. Keep in mind I don't follow them, I don't seek out interviews from them... I literally avoid them at all cost... yet I still hear about their addiction more than I even think about my own. They need to take a break n stop doing so much. It's annoying as F**k.
Jared Leto. I used to be a huge fan of his band (30 Seconds to Mars) back in the day. 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.
I don't like the hate he got for Joker but I also don't like that he refused to accept his portrayal wasn't the best...like dude it doesn't always work out...accept it...don't go constantly saying to release some uncut version.
Anne Hathaway, but I guess it doesn’t count if she’s been recorded being a prick to her staff behind the scenes. In Japan, she was voted worst celebrity to work with lol
Anyone know if this is actually true? Seems like any celebrity that is female and had a bad day or just objects to being treated badly is slapped with this label, so I'm always a little skeptical.
Note: this post originally had 49 images. It’s been shortened to the top 30 images based on user votes.
Here is a thread of unsubstantiated rumours, baseless theories and questionable anecdotes...cause...
No kidding. We just want to hate those we loved, I guess. No way for famous people to just be people.

No one going to mention Boris Johnson. He built his whole career by faking a loveable, bumbling, good natured buffoon persona. Before the cameras came on, whenever he was on a TV programme, he would check his hair in the monitor to see it was the right amount of ruffled. The first time I saw him on HIGNFY I could see he was fake and expected him to get a poor reception, but the general public fell for it. Then he became Mayor of London and now look where we are.
"Thriving", is it? And that's why the number of UK folk applying for Irish citizenship has increased 2000%?

Met Jeff Bridges when he showed up at my movie theatre on a school day; introduced himself as JJ (sadly I forget his wife's name), he was so nice and approachable, tipped me $5 just for chatting with them before their movie. Hilariously, he was wearing a Big Lebowski 'The Dude' t-shirt.
I've met Michael Jackson (a number of times) as well as his sisters Janet and La Toya. Janet was a bitch. La Toya was sweet and Michael was so humble. He smelt incredible too
I enjoyed realizing that towards the bottom of the list.

Back when I was a teen, my dad had a busineß trip in Miami and he brought me along. We stayed at a hotel that had a no tipping policy due to the amount celebs that stayed there. While having a lunch in the hotel restaurant, we saw Whitney Houston. As a teen, I was excited. What happened next made me despise her. She asked for ice water. The waiter brought it to her. Apparently the water was not cold enough. She threw the water at the waiter and screamed tirads at him and calling him everything but his name. It was then I realized on why Whitney's man treated her the way he did. It has been over 30 years and I still refuse to listen to her music.
my mom waitressed the dead milkmen one time, GIANT jerks that refused to tip and made sexual comments at her the entire time.
Well, when I saw them their opening act (The Dickies) was much better than they were, so I guess they deserve that.

My cousin is a rigger and meets a lot of artists. One of the worst to work for was Billy Joel. Terrible food was offered for the workers (many got sick). Billy was standoffish and rude. Made me annoyed because my husband and I went to the show she was rigging. BTW, the food for workers is important... you don't want them leaving the venue when they have so much to do in such a short period of time when they load-in and load-out. The only time they get off is the short time during the performance. It's part of what is paid for when you pay the crew... and if you don't give them good food, it's saying that you don't appreciate what they do. It's hard work.
I'd like to add a star to this list but only in a good way. Carrie Fisher. Met her during Star Wars Celebration in London 2016, a few weeks before she sadly passed away. In the queue for an autograph I talked to other fans and everyone had only nice things to say about her, that she listens, is a little excentric but in a fun way etc. She comes out to her table, with a huge bodyguard next to her. She says hi to everyone and then asks the bodyguard to lean forward, which he does. Then she puts some glitter on his head and says "Now you're fabulous too!" and they both laugh. Then she asks every person if they'd like some glitter too, on their hand, and most say yes. When it's my turn I ask to get some on my head, like the bodyguard, and she stands up and asks me to come around the table! Her agent, or whatever, says there's no time for that and Carrie casually exclaims "There's always time for glitter!" and puts her hand on the top of my head! Wonderful lady! <3
Easy to tell what a celebrity is like by what they consider to be charitable. Found out recently that Matt Damon runs a "charity" where he's basically a loan shark to people in developing countries so they can buy water. Instead of just giving them water with all his millions, he actually asks for donations to extort interest from the most vulnerable people in the world. Like who the f**k even thinks up something like that, let alone call it a charity?
The mini loans are often used to help people enter a trade or start a little business. Also some people in need don’t want to take charity, so this gives them a way to get help without feeling uncomfortable. I think your criticism is misplaced.

This is hilarious. Who here among us act, at work, the same way as when we are off work?? ALL OF US. These people are working, and part of their job is to have an agreeable personality when on screen. There is no reason whatsoever that they should be held to a different standard than we are when we're off, or on break for that matter. No matter how much money they make, it's ridiculous that they should be expected to be "on" 24 hours a day, at the drop of a hat, just bc you feel the need for a selfie.
That's a fair point. To expect a performer to be 'on' all the time is unreasonable. However there are some entertainers who are pleasant and friendly while still maintaining boundaries. Notice how you never see Dolly Parton or Keanu Reeves in these types of lists. The press may gossip about them but the public like and respect them. It's generally acknowledged that Keanu Reeves will probably never be considered as one of the greats but so what, he's a beautiful soul who does a fantastic job. The absolute star that is Dolly Parton is the first to enjoy a laugh at her expense but this woman is no joke and people who do business with her know she has a rock-hard brain who knows her worth yet is fair. No-one's saying that if you work in the public eye that you gotta walk around kissing babies and grinning desperately from ear-to-ear - but being warm and appreciative can take you far.

Instead of just giving them water with all his millions, he actually asks for donations to extort interest from the most vulnerable people in the world. Like who the f**k even thinks up something like that, let alone call it a charity?
The mini loans are often used to help people enter a trade or start a little business. Also some people in need don’t want to take charity, so this gives them a way to get help without feeling uncomfortable. I think your criticism is misplaced.

These people are working, and part of their job is to have an agreeable personality when on screen. There is no reason whatsoever that they should be held to a different standard than we are when we're off, or on break for that matter. No matter how much money they make, it's ridiculous that they should be expected to be "on" 24 hours a day, at the drop of a hat, just bc you feel the need for a selfie.
That's a fair point. To expect a performer to be 'on' all the time is unreasonable. However there are some entertainers who are pleasant and friendly while still maintaining boundaries. Notice how you never see Dolly Parton or Keanu Reeves in these types of lists. The press may gossip about them but the public like and respect them. It's generally acknowledged that Keanu Reeves will probably never be considered as one of the greats but so what, he's a beautiful soul who does a fantastic job. The absolute star that is Dolly Parton is the first to enjoy a laugh at her expense but this woman is no joke and people who do business with her know she has a rock-hard brain who knows her worth yet is fair. No-one's saying that if you work in the public eye that you gotta walk around kissing babies and grinning desperately from ear-to-ear - but being warm and appreciative can take you far.

People who seek to be displayed on screens/stages are not even remotely well.
Who wrote all this crap? It's just opinions about how someone thinks these people are! Some of these may be correct with footage to back them up, but most just seem to fall into the category of "I don't like this person."
I know for a fact that All Lithuanians, Jonas Grinevičius especially, are b**ches who treat everybody like complete s**t IRL. It on the Internet. So it must be all true.
