Chrissy Teigen Answers People’s Questions About What It’s Like Being A Celeb, And It’s Eye-Opening
People have always been oddly curious about how the rich and famous live. That’s why celebrities can put out autobiographies and magazines can draw readers with deeply personal interviews, but those things don’t usually mention doing housework, going through airport security, or navigating thank-you letter etiquette. Fortunately, for that, we have Twitter, and we have Twitter queen Chrissy Teigen to answer all our questions.
The Q&A session started when someone wondered aloud whether celebrities have “junk drawers where they throw random cords and pens” and tagged her. (She does, but it’s unusually neat.) From there she opened up the field for whatever questions, from the mundane to the thoughtful, that her followers could throw at her. It’s not shocking or juicy, just interesting in a way that will make you say “...huh. That makes sense,” but that’s the point.

My problem is I can get up, walk downstairs to cut an alarm off, walk back upstairs, crawl back in bed and go to sleep no problem. I'm a professional snoozer.
Honestly, it makes sense. It seems super privileged, and it is, but it's safer for everyone. Some people can get stupid and down right squirrely around celebs. This makes it easier for staff, safer for the celebs and takes away the opportunity for stupid people to get themselves in trouble.
He is Illuminati. It's so obvious from all the codes embedded in his music.
i would be sacred that somebody would harm me. You never know whats gonna happen these days
Both guys suck, but the second one should be sent straight to jail...
I couldn't stand to be famous with my anxiety. It's fantastic to see someone being open about the pitfalls of fame and their own mental health. So much respect.
Good to know she reaches out to make sure her friends are ok. That's a good thing!
"The bigger the celeb, the nicer." Never thought about it, but it kind of makes sense. The more "important" you appear to be, the less you need to protect your ego (not neccessarily a bad thing, let's say, you're just less bothered). But, yeah, as she says, everyone's different.
Wow. I have never ever, not even for a millisecond wanted to be a celebrity..... until I heard the words "I don't get mail". Now that Is aspirational.
I can understand that... and if people are on the "hate train" already... and just that **one** person decides to take your tone exactly the wrong way... you could say something as harmless as "I've cut down on potato intake" and suddenly ... within a week, you're anti-spud, and everyone who eats tubers hates you, all the potato farmers hate you... Heck... sometimes, you congratulate someone on a job promotion... and they get angry at you for writing the congrats to their "non-business account"... this turns into the interpretation you're an insensitive jerk who doesn't respect boundaries... aaaand you're suddenly blacklisted at the whole company. See? One. Wrong. Thing. I cannot even imagine what it's like to be a celebrity where masses of people actually CARE about every words you say.
Can you imagine being a Joe Schmoe uber driver and a celebrity hops into your backseat?!?
... That would be us... the Canadians... we fight this inner battle. Our minds: "Ohh, I recognize her/him... I... oh man, no. They're... they're out with their KIDS... oh for f**ks sake, just ... yeah,we'll leave them alone, but man.. yeah, that's THEM right? Okay, seriously... just keep walking - they think you're a creeper now. Damnit. Once in a lifetime. NO... just.. keeep walking..." Strangely enough... we've had feedback that this is why many celebrities like it here... hey don't get harassed and although I'm sure they notice we're nervous, we let them freakin' have DINNER without causing a fuss. Most of us understand too that this is not their "on-the-clock" time. You wouldn't stop your accountant while he's hangin' with his buddies at a bar and demand he calculate up a little spreadsheet for you - so we don't feel that celebrities "owe" us sh** if they're not "on the clock, being celebrities" (ie: conventions, autograph signings, promoting something, etc.).
