Celebrity culture has become a huge part of modern society. But public opinion isn't fixed, and when you're living under a magnifying glass, thousands or even millions are waiting to judge your every move.
One Reddit thread vividly illustrates just how fast we can change our minds about someone. It started when a person who goes on the platform by the nickname PerspectiveMedical71 asked others, "What's something a famous person has done that just completely changed how you viewed them?"
As of now, they've received over 3.6K replies, so we decided to compile some of the most popular ones and challenge you, dear readers, to scroll through the list and see if it makes you look at these well-known individuals any differently.

I'm so forever grateful for this. Even though we were financially in a position to buy books, having a book come each month for my child with her name on it, made her excited about reading. That excitement is a gift I will forever be thankful for. She's not quite in first grade and is reading well above level, in part because she was excited to learn. I do my best to pay it forward by donating to the local groups that keep funding the Dolly Parton Library in my area. Every kid deserves that joy and the gift of reading. I love DP for that program.

The year Dolly played at Glastonbury after the festival was over they found a dog. (How anyone forgot their dog I will never know.)

One of his first roles was Martini in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I had never realized it was him. Several of the cast from that movie went on to make it big. DeVito was awesome in it, which is why it took me so long to recognize him. Any comedy he's in will make me laugh so hard and so often the cats go somewhere else to sleep. I recently saw "Throw Momma From the Train" and about died. His idiotic earnestness was hilarious.

Met Bill Pullman at an after-premiere party at more or less the height of his fame (my wife worked at the studio for the movie we had just seen). People always talked to me at these things until they found out I worked in the lowly service industry, and then would immediately terminate the conversation and get the hell out of there (since I could be of no use to them). Bill Pullman was the opposite. He actually got excited that I was not one of these "phony a******s," but instead a real person, and talked to me for a good while, just shooting the s**t about whatever, asking me about what my work was like. You would not believe the stories I have about people my wife worked with, former classmates, etc, behaving like I may as well be rolling in a sewer to be working a regular job and doing my art on the side, instead of climbing a ladder somewhere. It was nice to have someone way more successful than any of them coming from the opposite direction, and I always thought I would give him public props if I ever got the chance, so hopefully this doesn't get too buried.

Being of "lower status" myself, I know this attitude. However, I wouldn't read too much into the attendees' behavior in this case. A critical reason for many to attend these Hollywood parties is furthering their career via schmoozing. You simply didn't fit their personalized party agenda.

My favorite role of his is as the president in Independence Day. I don't know who wrote that speech, but he delivered it as though it were real. I was crying. But it wasn't just the speech. He did an excellent job in the role. He managed to balance his character's different facets quite well.

His heart definitely is in the right place, he also helped Ukraine a lot and I remember a story about him stopping for a couple whose car had broken down on the highway. He waited with them until their car was towed and then gave them a ride home. But FOSTA/SESTA has unfortunately made lives a lot unsafer, now prostitutes can't screen their clients or share knowledge about them as before. Many prostitutes are not human trafficked and most human trafficking victims are not forced into prostitution but to work as cheap laborers (where especially women are at high risk for sexual abuse). FOSTA/SESTA just tries to get rid of any form of prostitution (consensual and forced), not really stop human trafficking.

Was this written before he and his wife advocated for serial rapist Danny Masterson, sending a character letter to the judge to try to reduce his sentence?

She's Irish Catholic and I guarantee you that what she did then on SNL made her a piranha at home and in the industry. Incredibly talented, but a little unstable (even before that incident). But having the courage to call out the church on national television, knowing you might never work in music again, the woman had balls of steel. Most people weren't aware of the problem in the church. I have been a recovering Catholic since I was 14. I'd never heard about it. After what she did, people finally started asking questions. She was incredible

I was a child when the Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton thing happened. I remembered how everyone seemed mad at her, so I just never questioned it.

Last time I tried to defend Monica on BP, I got absolutely buried and downvoted to hell, but I don't care, I'll say it again: between the age difference and the enormous power dynamic, and the way she was manipulated by the people around her, she got a raw deal and came out of it with a lot of grace, humor, and strength, and I admire her for that. Clinton came out remarkably unscathed and she bore the brunt of all that and there's no way that was a fair shake. Same old story that the younger, less powerful woman gets all the blame and shame heaped on her while the rich old white powerful dude gets excuses made for him.

JJ Watt. When the city of Houston was devastated by Hurricane Harvey, he started a fund to help the people affected by it. He hoped to raise $200,000, but instead raised $40,000,000.

I wasn't a Britney Spears fan until I saw how human she is. Britney Spears. I don't listen to her music but I root for her.

The main reason people turned against her was because of that over emotional ranting Britney Spears fan screaming "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!" with tears streaming down his face. When I read about the abuse and manipulation and lies her family were doing just so they could keep her money... it broke my heart. Thankfully, it has all come to light and it seems to be over. I hope she gets to enjoy a decent life away from them

I am not her fan, but I know that she was treated terribly. Anyone remember her early career, when she was teenager? Tabloid was obsessed with her virginity. Once she got into her twenties and decided for sexier, more mature image, she got s**t shamed. And after her mental breakdown, she became target of jokes. And then she lost custody of her children and was under conservatorship for years.

She needs some real mental help. I feel so sorry for her. She's never had a life and wasn't given a chance to actually become an adult. The resent little TikToks she makes are definitely from the mindset of a 15 year old, not a grown woman. It's heartbreaking.

I watched the Britney documentary and I was shocked. I lost a bit of respect for Justin Timberlake for joking about taking her virginity. And she was also being interviewed by a woman I don't know who but probably someone very famous in America, and telling a teenage Britney that some woman was saying she wanted to kill Britney for the influence she was having on her teenager and Britney just didn't know what to say. I'm pretty sure the interviewer was enjoying saying these nasty things.

The thing with these types of cults is that they damage the person's sense of reality, and over time with repeated doses of whatever the cult thinks is a good idea (holding the cans; praying for hours without any sleep; etc.), the person loses touch with right and wrong. They only know what the cult leader says and will follow this to the end. Allison has said she's "come back to herself" and I hope that after her jail sentence she does something to right the wrongs she committed on those women - but think of Nicki Clyne, who is still a member of NXIVM and who waits outside the leader's jail cell and tells people that he's innocent. She needs help really badly.

So I can understand hating him for cheating on his wife but idk if you can call him a hypocrite for crafting a character that was a "wife guy," since he never tried to pretend he really was that character in real life.

Robert Pattinson. For years, the only thing I knew him as was the sh*ttiest vampire ever in one of the lamest movie series ever. I thought he was bland, flat, and generally just a bad actor. But then I saw "The Lighthouse" cause Willem Dafoe is one of my favorite actors, and the reviews were great, so I figured he likely carried Pattinson. However, Pattinson was great! His performance was so surprisingly good it elevated the movie even further for me! I caught a few interviews of him on YouTube afterwards and found out he at one point went out on a date with a girl who was stalking him and just b**ched about how no one even knew him and just loved the sparkly vampire, and she got so bored she left and stopped stalking him, and that was his plan! Like, that alone made me feel so bad for writing him off, and though that story is amazing and kind of wrinkle brained as f**k, it is also quite sad, cause I know I wasn't anywhere near the only person to write him off or idolize him for that one s****y role. So now I'm a huge fan, and because of this I no longer judge an actor on a single role, I always reserve judgement of them overall until I see them multiple times (though I won't hesitate to say a specific role wasn't good lol). It not only changed my view of Pattinson but actors overall.

Both he and Willem DaFoe were exceptional in The Lighthouse. A disturbing movie that both of them made extra disturbing with their incredible talent.

I really enjoyed the books (read while in college). But I guess as a reader you always add your own twist on the material. I couldn't fathom why they were marketed as teen movies, because to me the books were not appropriate for a younger audience. Seeing the movies completely ruined the books for me. It wasn't about the casting though. It was about the way they chose to tell the story. They took what I thought was a nuanced and deep love story and turned it into a cringy, vapid, teen crush story. It was more about how brooding they could make Pattinson look and how many times they could get Taylor Lautner shirtless, than telling the story. No disrespect to the actors, they did what they were supposed to, but I hated what adapting it for film did to the story.

I don't think it's an indication of immaturity, just dependent on a person's interests, goals, and lifestyle. And most of the things I've heard about Leo aside from his dating choices are positive.

As someone who is 41 I really don’t understand the appeal of dating someone much younger - at what point do you get fed up of having very little in common with your partner?

Scientologist methods are legit insane, they are completely a problem, but as a religion I don't really have a problem, not any weirder than other mainstream religions out there, the only difference is we were around to watch it manifest into existence as opposed to other religious principles we were just told to accept as fact as children when we are impressionable.

Jim Carrey. Jenny McCarthy gets all the anti-vaccine hate, but Jim Carrey was dating her at the time and 100% backed her up. He has spread his own lies about vaccines. He also said some not okay (sexual) things about Emma Stone when she was a young actress. He made the following quote about Elin Nordegren, "No wife is blind enough to miss that much infidelity. Elin had 2 b a willing participant on the ride 4 whatever reason. kids/lifestyle..." In general, he is really problematic when it comes to women.

Kanye West's entire public persona. I like (most of) his music, but fame can cause people to lose sight of themselves and I think that's what happened. The *jeen-yuhs* documentary reveals that he used to be a lot more grounded. He was always arrogant, but the fame made him think he's a god, and anyone who says or does something he doesn't like is cut off (see: Kid Cudi beef).

The accidental shooting while horrible is not the same as murdering someone. Maybe you should actually point that out too. Especially the fact that he has had charged against him dropped. There were at least two points of failure (the armourer and the assistant director) between the gun and him pulling the trigger (something he denies btw).

I can't stand it when people say they turned on R Kelly after his conviction. He married a 15 year old in 1994. A video of him peeing on a minor came out in 2002. He was prosecuted in 2008 for indecent acts with a minor. And it wasn't until he was convicted that people finally recognize he's a scumbag creep? I can't stand the people who supported him and in effect helped him get away with this behavior for 30 years. These things were all in the public and well known and NOW you're going to turn on him? Pathetic.

Terra Cotta 2 years ago
This may or may not be fully accurate. He apparently attends Zoe Church which does not discriminate against LGBT. The controversy is that Zoe is based in Hillsong which IS anti-LGBT. Pratt himself has publicly said he supports LGBT people, so I think that should count for a lot.

Seriously, I looked it up before writing this. 4 years ago he was recognized by Guinness for granting the most wishes, and that was when he passed 650. An article I found said that the only people who come close to that number are Dale Earnhardt Jr, Jeff Gordon and Hulk Hogan who each have done around 200. Make A Wish also claims he's by far the most requested celebrity. But I have to wonder how much of that is because he actually follows through on it and has done so consistently for 20 years.
