“It Was Gross To Witness”: 30 People Name The Rudest Celebrities They’ve Met
“Never meet your heroes.” This old proverb simply tells us that admiring an idealized figure from afar is typically better than interacting with them in person because, for the most part, the encounter turns out to be a massive letdown.
Many people have had this experience with celebrities, and it’s recently become a topic on Threads. One user asked, “Who is the rudest celeb you have met? What happened?”
The usual names came up, those with a reputation for being stand-offish. But there are surprising mentions like Keanu Reeves, who is known to be the nicest man in Hollywood today.
Whether it was actual obnoxious behavior or a reaction to a bad day, rudeness stains a person’s image. Unfortunately, it is magnified for celebrities, as it is the nature of their chosen profession.

I went to grammar and high school with Nicholas Cage but he was Nicholas Coppola back then. We both worked on high School musicals, me behind the scenes, him in front but I think we had a scene together in Our Town when I decided to act for a minute. But we played at each other's houses and everything. It's not like he was just in my class. We were friends. Fast forward about 10 years. I was a line cook at a fancy restaurant in San Francisco and he came in with some people. . I came out to say hello. Hey Nick, I said. He was so rude and acted like he couldn't even be bothered to look up and say hello. I was like whatever dude. I don't want anything from you just to be treated like a person. FU Nick Cage

Awww did someone peak in high school? You ran into someone you knew a decade ago and they didn't recognize you. How many times a day do you think he hears "hey Nick" from random strangers? You want him to look up every single goddamn time? I'm gonna take a wild stab and say that all this unnecessary animosity probably didn't come from a celebrity not recognizing you, but more likely from deep insecurity and bitterness due to the fact that you also wanted to be an actor and 10 years later you're a line cook and he's an international movie star.

Jim Jarmusch and Adam Driver are two of the nastiest people I have ever met, and this was inside the venue of their premiere for Patterson.

About 30 years ago when Alec Baldwin was just starting out in his career I think he had just finished filming the Hunt for Red October I was working out at the Mirage hotel Gym.

Most celebs I’ve met have been on good behavior. It always impresses me, because I can’t imagine how exhausting it is to interact with hundreds of people per week who all think they own a piece of you.
So I’ll share a vicarious encounter. My sister was friends with a knockout gorgeous woman. She looked like a 1980s music video model (this was the 1980s!), but she was a waitress like my sister. She was 19.
Anyway, she got on an elevator at a hotel, and who should be on it but... David Lee Roth. Yep, Diamond Dave himself, and in 1988, there were no hotter front men in the world.
Naturally, she was starstruck, but too shy to talk to him. Never fear! Diamond Dave to the rescue.
He had propositioned her for sex in his hotel room practically before the doors closed.
She said no.

Robert Redford - he filmed several movies in my hometown. My 86 yr old grandmother really wanted to go watch some of the action where they were filming because she loved him. We were walking across the parking lot and she put her hand gently on a car to step down a curb. He came running out of a building and screamed at her for touching his car. The car was parked in a fire zone FIY and the roped off area for spectators only allowed people to walk right there. She apologized, he kept yelling.

Head and shoulders above the rest: Micheal Stipe of R.E.M. And anyone who’s ever crossed his path while working in a restaurant would agree. Used to come in to restaurants long after closing time, yell and demand to be seated, would try to smoke incessantly at the table, demanded ridiculous off-menu food and freak out when told no (like asking for pancakes in a fine dining Italian restaurant) and ALWAYS stiffed the staff. He’s actually quietly black-listed from a bunch of spots in NYC still…

I won't defend the hype but I've got to say that they were a breath of fresh air when they first came out. I had the pleasure of seeing them a couple of times in a very small club with a capacity of 199 people (The old 9:30 club in Washington, DC). Being a descendant of a long line of uptight dancing-is-sinful Southern Baptists, I'm not much of a dancer but their music definitely made me want to move. They also got bonus points for "Don't Go Back to Rockville," a close-in suburb of DC. I guess I'm with you on the hype bit as I never once had the urge to see them in a large venue.

George Clooney was in a movie filmed where I live some years ago. He stayed in a hotel downtown. Whenever he was out and about, people liked to take photos of him. This was before selfies were a big thing, so most people weren’t bothering him, just taking photos. He would get enraged and yell at people over it. So, a local radio DJ had a lot of fun with it. He put a “bounty” on Clooney photos and gave away a prize every day for whoever sent in the best photo. I live in the south, and we don’t take kindly to people being mean and rude.

A bunch of these are people who interrupt and pester a celebrity at a time when they are just trying to be on their own and be normal...and the person's all mad they weren't comfortable being interrupted and pestered. What do you expect? Seriously these are actual humans who don't have to be on and performing every second of every day. Leave them alone.

Christopher Reid. Met him on a flight as a kid. As I was passing by, I asked if he was Kid and told him I loved watching his movies and he said yes & u can’t have an autograph & I said I never asked you for one.

LeToya Luckett. She came to Fayetteville State shortly after a first solo album came out. She was in the student center. I walked up and asked for an autograph poster she was handing out. She had an entire attitude. As she quickly rushed signing the poster I said “I love your music!!” I was in love with her album. She pushed the poster to me and sat back down. I was really disappointed at her behavior. I took the poster threw it in the trash as I walked out the door. I know she saw me

Jon B and NeNe Leakes. And I usually try to give celebrities a lot of latitude. They get approached so often that they get worn out. Also, sometimes you might just catch them on a bad day. But in these two cases, they exhibited the kind of rudeness that was so off-putting that it seemed like their regular personality.

Jon B? The singer from the 90s who had a couple of R&B hits and fizzled out like a sparkler on the Fourth of July?

Issa Rae. Years ago I was a super fan of Awkward Black Girl. I was in a theater lobby with my kids when Issa walked in. I didn’t approach her, my baby was breastfeeding at the time, but I yelled “Awkward Black girl” and waved. She rolled her eyes hard af like she was disgusted to be seen by me. Then left. I never watched her later shows. Still turn the channel if her face appears. Seriously considered walking out of Barbie. I’m a Virgo, this is 4eva

She was on a night out to the cinema-yelling at her in a concert is one thing, but shouting at people going about their private life and expecting them to respond politely is entitled and rude. I honestly don't get this entire thread-some of the behaviour is uncalled for (like being nasty to servers), but calling someone rude because they're doing something normal and ordinary and don't want to interact with random people demanding photographs or whatever is unreasonable.

Jessica Simpson. I met her in an airport. We were all in Air Force uniforms in a large group coming home from training. One of the guys spoke to her and she rolled her eyes at him. He looked crushed. We had been travelling for several hours and were extremely tired . She could have just said hello

I met Lisa Marie Varon aka Victoria from WWE. Had a crush on her as a kid. She was signing at a local show in the Bay Area where I was selling my comics and I happen to be sitting next to a craft lady and her father that she knew. I said hi to Lisa and was cordial to her but her response, can’t remember her exact response, was dismissive and rude.
I found out later that the same year I met her, her nudes and s*x tape leaked. If that and her 8 hr trip didn’t piss her off, I don’t know what did.

Adelaide Kane from Reign and Greys Anatomy was super stuck up. Wouldn’t converse with people who paid to meet her and when I went up to take my paid photo with her she wouldn’t smile and said “okay, let’s get this done.”

Y’all are gonna k*ll me for this one… Keanu Reeves. Saw him briefly in Toronto last year, and he completely dissed the small group of us that showed up for him. I know that celebrities don’t necessarily owe us for anything, but there were only about 4-5 of us women- nobody was being pushy, and some of them waited hours outside to see him. He walked by without acknowledging anyone and walked into his trailer. (His band was performing at a venue, but the show wasn’t even close to starting yet)

When I was 12, me and my family took a day trip to Disneyland. Me and my older sister got separated from the group because we saw Hugh Hefner and his four gfs (the ones from his reality show) in line for the haunted mansion ride. Since we had a camera, we asked if we could take a pic but he didn’t hear us and Holly Madison’s wack a*s legit said, and I quote “You can’t take a picture of him but you can take a picture of me!”
And what pissed us off is that she had the nerve to pose in front of us, blocking Hef from our view. Like actively making sure we couldn’t snap a flick no matter how hard we tried. But later on that night, my sis ran into Hef at the gift shop and he was nice enough to give her a pic. I went to the bathroom so I missed out.
Cla Ida 1 month ago
"the nerve"... Right. I assume, since they wanted a pic of Hefner, that they asked him directly so him not hearing sounds dubious, and surely he'd have heard the girl offering to get her pic taken/seen her moving around him. But it didn't cross op's entitled mind that perhaps he had asked her to do just that. And that later on, in a less crowded place where accepting one pic didn't mean accepting a hundred, he was kind enough to accept having one pic taken.

I met Ryan Reynolds and his wife Rob McElhenney in a store in Boise, Idaho, he looked very smart in his blue velvet tuxedo suit with pink shirt and white bow tie, his wife looked adorable in a pink chiffon dress, they were buying some cheese slices, I couldn’t help but remark, wouldn’t you like the camembert instead, he wasn’t very happy and replied, why can’t people leave us alone when I am preparing for my next film role, apparently he’s playing Ted Bundy.

You know how we talk about how creepy it is when a man thinks a waitress is flirting with him when she smiles while doing her job? People who get offended by celebrities who get grumpy when approached for autographs or pictures come off the same way. It really, REALLY doesn't matter how nicely or politely you ask. Unless you're at an actual signing event, just leave them be.

Or maybe they should choose a more inconspicuous occupation. When you choose a job you should consider what goes with it. We're all in the planet trying to coexist. No reason to be rude. If you go into the public as a celebrity that's a natural consequence. Maybe with all the millions they hoard away they could manage to spare some manners?

The rudest celebrity i've met was Pete Rose. I was living in Nashville when Pete played for the Phillies, and the Phillies played an exhibition with our AAA Nashville Sounds team. I was there behind the visitors dugout with my friend Bob and his little boy. When Pete approached the fencing, the little boy said, "Mr. Rose can I please have your autograph?" Pete bluntly said, "Come to the autograph show tonight. I don't give away my autograph." We proceeded to rag on Pete for 9 innings; it's a wonder we didn't get thrown out. For this reason, I truly hope Pete never gets into the HOF, stats or no stats.
