Being famous seems great and all, but it comes at a price. It gets tiring to always be in the public eye, minding what you say and what you do, representing your own brand and doing business. Besides this, it’s also all of the ceaseless attention from fans and whatnot, so it’s no surprise why some decide to be more subtle and discreet about it.

Hence, we have a number of famous people who seem like they "refuse to be famous", whether it’s deliberate or not. Twitter user Skoog pointed out how Patrick Wilson, who starred in Aquaman (2018), Watchmen (2009), and Insidious (2010), said he’ll be starring in millions of movies, but ends up absolutely refusing to be famous.

The thread soon began booming, gaining quite a bit of attention from the internet. It got over 315,000 likes with 27,000 retweets and a bunch of comments. While some tweeted about how Patrick Wilson looks like Will Arnett and a bunch of other similar looking actors, others began suggesting what other famous people are also avoiding fame.

While these actors are not believed to be famous in comparison to a number of other celebrities, everyone in the thread do agree that they are underrated and do deserve more credit than they are actually given.

Bored Panda has compiled a list of the celebrities that this thread deemed “absolutely refusing to be famous,” so check it out below and be sure to vote and comment on the entries you love the most.

Patrick Wilson

Patrick Wilson

Patrick Wilson is an American actor and singer who spent his early career days starring in Broadway musicals and started showing up in films and series in the early 2000s. He is best known for his roles in Aquaman (2018), Watchmen (2009), and Insidious (2010).
Fun Fact: Wilson himself saw this tweet and responded with "Dammit. My plan has been thwarted." His wife also joked in another tweet: “Dang it. You’ve quietly worked so hard to be in a million movies and NOT be famous...and now the secret is out.”

    While these actors are not believed to be famous in comparison to a number of other celebrities, everyone in the thread do agree that they are underrated and do deserve more credit than they are actually given.

    While it is unknown why many of these actors don't get the love they truly deserve, with many it is speculated that they are simply focused on other things—not trying to be famous but rather enjoying the art of acting, or wanting to spend more time with their families and deliberately not going to interview and not dancing the "celebrity dance". It might also have something to do with Hollywood politics, but that is a story for another time.

    Judy Greer

    Judy Greer

    American-born actress Judy Greer has been very active in the movie scene ever since her debut in the movie Stricken in 1997. Her best known work is in movies like Jurassic World (2015), 13 going on 30 (2004, and Ant Man (2015), among many others.
    According to the New York Post, Greer doesn’t want more stardom, but she does want the attention that opens doors professionally. As a director she said asked herself why should she play the role when she can get someone else, like Jennifer Garner to do it.
    Besides that, she wouldn't want to see herself in the editing room all the time: “I don’t have that kind of self-esteem. I could not ever watch a performance of my own while doing it and be like: ‘Oh, that was an awesome take. We can move on, I really nailed that.’”

    Judy Greer can be the most versatile actress ever, too bad she lands always the same role of the nagging, lovingly mother in career or ex-wife. After "Jurassic World", "Ant Man" and "Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes" sincerely didn't know anymore if she played the same role in different movies (to name a few).

    Rachel McAdams

    Rachel McAdams

    Rachel McAdams is a Canadian actress who is best known for being in that “It’s never gonna happen” meme ripped straight out of Mean Girls (2004). Besides that, she also starred in the Notebook (2004), Red Eye (2005), and Sherlock Holmes (2009), just to name a few.
    In an interview with LA Times, she was asked whether McAdams herself even wants to be a movie star, to which she responded: “I think it was sort of a vague idea in my mind when I was a kid, when you think, ‘What would that be like?’ But it wasn’t something I really meditated on or planned for in any way. I really thought I’d be doing theater in Canada. I’d grown up doing children’s theater there, and I always imagined myself being artistic director of a children’s theater company.”

    Aaron Eckhart

    Aaron Eckhart

    Actor and producer Aaron Eckhart was born in Cupertino, California, but has lived in a number of other places around the globe, including the UK and Australia. He has been acting since the early 1990s with his most notable work being in The Dark Knight (2008), Thank You for Smoking (2005) and In the Company of Men (1997).
    People are speculating that he is underrated only because she just chooses to do more films in the vein of “Battle For Los Angeles,” which is an action war film, rather than “Thank You For Smoking” and “The Black Dahlia,” which are dramas.

    James Marsden

    James Marsden

    James Marsden is an American actor, singer, and former model. If you think you’ve seen him somewhere but can’t recall where, he’s Cyclops from Marvel’s X-Men series. Besides that, he also starred in Superman Returns (2006), The Notebook (2004), 10th & Wolf (2006), and The Alibi (2006).
    It is speculated that Marsden is not that famous because of supposed Hollywood politics, while others think he just made bad choices in where he wanted to go, which pushed him away from stardom.

    His singing is shown off nicely in Hairspray (say what you want about the film but it had some great songs on the soundtrack) and Enchanted.

    Wristcutters is a PHENOMENAL film! Tom Waits playing God? Yes, please. Fun fact: the character that Shea plays (Eugene) is based on the real life singer from Gogol Bordello (Eugene Hütz).
