It’s one thing to admire a celebrity for their work, and it’s another to put them on a pedestal. If you choose to do the latter, you will likely end up taken aback once you see a side of them that you don’t see whenever they’re on camera.
In some cases, you may see these stars at their worst moments, as these people did. They went on to share their stories in a TikTok post from months back, proving that no good comes out of hero worship, albeit unintentionally at times.

Chevy chase was NOT in a good mood when I met him… or from what I’ve heard, he never is 😅
James Corden… came in to the Disney store I worked at with his wife. Never made eye contact and would tell his wife what to say so he didn’t have to speak to me directly… for no reason mind you… I wasn’t fangirling, I was just doing my job.
His name seems to pop up a lot in stories about celebrities that are dicks.
Ashton Kutcher is AWFUL
What do you expect from a guy who writes a letter asking a judge to go easy on a rapist?
William Shatner...my son wanted to meet him at a Comic-Con. He was clearly less than thrilled to be there. My son was 12 at the time and he did not even acknowledge him at first. I said, "you know he saved up his own money to meet you and have you sign this," in not a not so nice tone. He did then look up and acknowledge my son. It pissed me off. I'm sorry your career has amounted to being at a Comic-Con in RI, but it isn't the fault of the kids paying to meet you.
I don't even watch Star Trek but I've heard someone saying something like "Spock and Leonard Nimoy would probably play lute and discuss poetry together while Kirk would beat William Shatner with a steel chair"
Jared Leto. Cousin of mine worked on Morbius with him. Very rude to the crew and demanded writers to rewrite the script.
Chappell Roan. i met her before she was even famous, when she was doing gigs at olivia rodrigo’s concerts. i went up to her after the concert (i saw her walking around) saying how i really enjoyed her performance and she just scoffed at me, no smile—straight face.
I interviewed Jada Pinkett Smith once. It did not go well.
No details given, but in this case none are needed. Listen to her for more than a few seconds and it's obvious she's insufferable.
[The current president of the US]. And yes I met him when i handled his book in the 1980s.
My mom used to work at the toll booth. Warren Beatty rolled through, my mom greeted him like normal but he got pissssssed lol he said don't you know who I am? My mom said I know you're an actor, I just can't remember your name
I met NSYNC when I was like 9. Justin was so rude, which was upsetting because he was my favorite. The rest of the guys (especially Lance and Chris) were absolute sweethearts.
Sydney Sweeney. I'm no longer on NDA but I worked as a PA on Madame Web and I watched her film tiktoks outside her trailer. The job was bad but the only cool experience from it was I got to meet and pet Dakota Johnson's dog lol
TBH not surprising, I know everyone is obligated to love Sweeney nowadays but to me, there's just something repulsive about that sour face of hers
Danica Patrick. I asked her to sign my cast as she was walking by. looked me up and down and kept walking. Like even pulled her sunglasses down to look at me type of looking up and down. I was 11 years old
Millie Bobby brown, paid 300 to meet her she said hello to the person infront and behind me but didn’t even LOOK or speak to me. it honestly felt personal
I wouldn't spend much time on somebody who paid $300 to meet a celebrity, either.
Keira Knightley, she wasn't rude, really just quite dismissive. She came to my work with her kids and I could tell she just wanted to be Mom in that moment, so I treated her like I did the other customers. I think she either just couldn't be bothered to be spoken to or thought I was just treating her differently. Every time I spoke to her about the water slide, what to do, the general rules she just sort of put her hand up and looked the other way.
Lana Del Rey told someone I know who is the sweetest person, "I don't like your energy", while he was telling her compliments and that his friend he was with loves her. She was so rude. Heartbreaking.
Mario Lopez hands down. He was not nice at all and didn’t want to talk to any of his fans… I was so disappointed…
Bill Nye, unfortunately 😭 it was at a comic con and he really obviously didn't want to be there and I was being a fangirl bc it’s Bill Nye for god's sake lol, and he just wasn’t having any of it
My top two: 1. Gerard Butler the first time I met him 2. Gerard Butler the second time I met him
I used to work at a restaurant in LA that a lot of celebrities frequented. Hands down Chelsea Paretti from Brooklyn 999. So much so that her husband Jordan peel felt bad and apologized more than once. The irony is she’s not a huge recognizable star either. Some of the nicest are Jennifer Aniston, Leonardo DiCaprio, Frances mcdormant, gweneth Paltrow.
Carrie underwood 100% anyone that’s worked backstage at the grand ole Opry can confirm this
Nicholas Sparks, the author. Have met him twice and neither time was pleasant. He’s so romantic on paper, I don’t get it 😩
2 Chainz lol😭 I work at the airport and his bodyguard was telling people who were looking at him to turn around and face the other direction
i was an extra on the OC for a 3 months. Mischa Barton was the worst. she got mad at Extras for walking near her even though that was what the director said to do. and when it came time for her to cry in her scene, she yelled at the whole production that, "she coudnt cry while everyone was staring at her!" and made everyone leave, it was just her, the camera man and director in the only shaded area. 45 of us had to stand in the sun while she attempted to cry for 3 hours to get a 3 minute shot. I understood very well after that why her character was ended. the rest of the cast was kind and would come play card games with the extras in between shooting scense
Could've used eyedrops instead of trying to cry real tears. That's where the one tear from one eye comes from.
rudest was Jesse Cave from Harry Potter, she never spoke and just handed her autograph to me.
Jennifer Lopez. hands down
Sooo much negative comment about her. Why do people set out to make their own lives less pleasant as well as other people's?
Peter Dinklage made me cry
Bruce Willis. Told him he was one of my faves and my dad and I always watch his movies together and he made fun of my clothes and walked away.
I met MGK at a gas station YEAAARS ago and I was so excited, just wanted to say hi, and he was SO RUDE! He's like I'm literally skateboarding. I literally walked by and said hi and I appreciated his music LMAO
My brother in law serve Morgan Freeman popcorn at our local movie theater. He attempted to compliment Morgan to which he replied “Butter my freakin' popcorn.”
Jenna Coleman acted like I was a peasant when I met her. Barely spoke and hardly acknowledged me
Taylor Swift rolled her eyes at me during a meet and greet back in 2009
She has a carefully controlled image to be this sweet girl next door type, she is not.
Adam Levine
I've heard SO many stories about him. Apparently he's a misogynistic egomaniac.
Viola Davis. I was working on a set she was on, and I wasn’t trying to meet her lol, I had to do coffee rounds so when I got to her, she didn’t answer me even though I was 2 feet away from her, so I asked again and she wouldn’t even acknowledge me. was so weird to be treated as if I was invisible. she wasn’t even busy or in the middle of anything lol
I met Miley Cyrus as a teenager back in like 2009 and she was so rude lol
If we think about it, the type of attention and boot licking she's experienced by becoming so famous so young, well it'd be near impossible to come out normal.
Teri Hatcher was so rude to me during the Pirates of the Caribbean premiere at Disneyland and I was just a teen.
Jason Isaac. Don’t be at a comic con if you are not going to be kind to your fans
Cardi B. And her body guard had some tude with simply wearing a mask (this was during peak COVID). The only normal one of the bunch was the assistant.
LL Cool J - we got in a screaming match
He came into museum I worked in Dublin Ireland circa 2001/2002. Only one colleague recognised him. He had bodyguards. And clearly brain in his head, he read everything in the exhibition and really took active interest. It had to be pointed out to me who he was in case he came to register. No ego, no nothing, just a tourist who spent far longer learning abt The Book of Kells than most people.
Mila Kunis :/
At least she's in good company with her husband -- based on an earlier ##.
Ralph Little ... just absolutely rude, acted like me and my sister were dirt on his shoe
Vanessa Hudgens.. broke my heart. What started with me being excited over seeing my childhood idol, ended with me walking away crying.
I was on the set of The Help and Emma Stone was unfortunately not nice... Easy A had just come out & I was so excited to meet her! We filmed in Mississippi (where I'm from). Instead of staying in the nice hotel we have in town with all the others actors she had a family move out of their historical home so she could live there while they were shooting
They probably were paid handsomely. Not like they were kicked out on the street
Rudest- Larry David
This is going to be unpopular. Ina Garten.
Drake blocked me on IG years ago and I still don’t know what I said lol
Carlisle from Twilight. I can’t remember his name right now. Met him at Comic Con. He was so rude
Peter Facinelli is his name. He's done a lot of other stuff besides Twilight - I doubt that's what he wants to be most famous for. Not that it excuses rudeness.
Jeffree Star.
Gaten Matarazzo acted like he wasn’t himself when I asked if he was the kid from Stranger Things. He said “I don’t know what you’re talking about” lmao
Bobby flay kinda sucked
Clint Eastwood made me cry
I have heard a few things about him that would lead me to believe he isn't very pleasant.
Janelle Maloney. Sat next to her an extra in a movie for 8 hours straight and was so incredibly unprofessional all around.
I'm guessing either Janelle Monae or Jenna Maloney. Whichever one was probably annoyed they got her name wrong.
Will Ferrell was a complete jerk when i encountered him. I didn't even know it was him until after the interaction. (He was dressed in ski gear)
I saw David Schwimmer at a chase in Midtown Manhattan. I held the door for him and said, "omg hi". And he gave me a dirty look lol
Joey King she acted like I wanted a pic or autograph I literally just asked if you were the lady that played Gypsy rose she was so rude
Kobe Bryant. It broke me.
jason derulo
Brett Gelman
Anne Burrell
Not a super famous person, but comedian Jared Freid has me blocked on all platforms. I’ve never even spoken to him. Other than both of us being Jewish, the only connection between us is that he had a one-night stand w/ a friend of mine after he did a show in my city
I walked past Beyonce and Jay Z in late 2017 when I had just turned 12 while heading to a concert and they were awful. I didn’t interact with them though
My daughter was an extra in a movie with Will Ferrell about 9 years ago and he was on a phone call and scared her with how mean he was being to whoever he was talking to but then he put the phone down for a second and said hello to her and seemed like a different person and totally normal and nice. Still left a weird impression on her.
This is stupid. I guess celebs should never have a reason to be upset with anyone.
JACOB ELORDI.
Rudest - Lisa Kudrow
I've worked with her and she is very nice and a lot of fun. Must have been having a bad day.
Paul McCartney, after he got famous, he doesn't want to play Roblox anymore
Yes, he does. Plays with me all the time. It must be something you did.
Tyler the creator 🥲 to be fair tho it was at a Ralph’s he def didn’t want to be bothered, when I asked for a pic he said NOPE but then he said but I hope u have a great new year (this was during holidays)
Vivica Fox...I made a cake for a party she attended. The host personally introduced me to her. I asked for a picture and she rudely said no. Regina King was at the same table. She was the kindest and took a picture with me. I cherish it.
Ryan Gosling
"91 People Were Disillusioned By Their Favorite Celebrities, And Less Than 30 Say Anything Worth Reading"
But their responses get hoovered up by BP anyway, for some bizarre reason
Load More Replies...How famous people should act: I listen to a podcast done by one of the sons of Tim Conway. Tim was one of the most famous and recognizable comedic actors of the 70s and 80s (worth youtubing). His son said his dad was always overly polite and appreciative of fans, even in the middle of dinner in a restaurant, and once explained to his son "you see our big car, this nice house, your clothes, this fancy dinner? THEY are the only reason we have any of this, and I will always appreciate every one of them."
Tim Conway was one of the funniest people who ever lived. I miss him.
Load More Replies...If youve typed the word "who" more than 5 times, maybe this list isnt for you. Or youre a f**king owl. Either way, it makes you sound like an arrogant d**kwad and ruins a post other people are enjoying. No one is making you read every post on the site, youre allowed to skip some you braind*ad jars of expired mayonnaise
For real, at that point they just liked the attention
