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.

James Corden looking serious, a favorite celebrity who might have disillusioned fans. Disillusioned favorite celebrities. 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.

    William Shatner as Captain Kirk, a favorite celebrity, in uniform. Fans can be disillusioned by celebrities. 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.

    Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Swann, a popular celebrity, on a ship. Some people are disillusioned by celebrities. 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.

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
