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. Though, if you want some more juicy gossip, check out Bored Panda’s earlier article right here where the relatives of celebs spill the tea about what they’re really 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

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."

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).

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."

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.

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.

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.
Diana 2 years ago
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.

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.

The mantra of Ellen's show is “Be kind,” which is funny considering she has relentlessly harassed people on her show for entertainment. For instances: Ellen made Taylor Swift cry in an interview when Swift's exes was brought up and Ellen turned it into a game that was embarrassing for Taylor. There was a Chinese boy who came to the show, and Ellen was really rude towards him and the translator because they didn't “speak English fast enough” (as if translating English to Chinese and vice versa is that easy). Ellen asked BTS creepy questions like if they hook up with fans, even though their fanbase is full of teens. However, people realised just how awful Ellen was after that episode with Dakota Johnson; it may have been a butterfly effect, but employees of the show began to report about the utterly toxic, and even racist work environment. Even if Ellen isn't directly responsible for that, she still has a responsibility to care for her employees since she's the face of the show, a show that tells you to “be kind.”

I've met Ellen DeGeneres years ago, and I found her to be nice to a point...she's always looking for a way to turn ANY encounter into a joke, and she's very hyperactive around other celebrities, also looking for a way to use them as a punch line. That said, she was nice about giving me her autograph, though she made a snarky comment about the blank pages book that I had her sign in "Is this your diary? Any sexy bits?"

This just isn't true. A few people have had bad exchanges with her, but when you've been in the industry as long as she has and endured what she has, you learn that not everyone responds to kid gloves. Yes she can be tough, but she's fair, generous, friendly unless provoked, and exceptionally intelligent. I've idolised the woman for decades so I am absolutely biased, I admit.

I have never 'liked' her public persona either with her stupid jerky rhythmless dance she opens her show with and her distance expression as 'I am better than you' aura comes over. I have seen her show three times out of curiosity. But somehow she seems to look as if superior. No natural enthusiasm but like a queen on her throne tossing a pretty things at the public...LOL I could never see how she actually claimed such success? Clever planned interviewing and many presents for people. But, she is not Oprah the original and ongoing success story, like her or not!

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.

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.

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.

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.
Joy 2 years ago
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.

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.

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."
