8 celebs who don’t like being approached by fans: from Justin Bieber and Kanye West to Jennifer Lawrence, Doja Cat and Cillian Murphy – but which Hollywood actor allegedly made little girls cry?
- Taylor Swift is so good to her fans that it’s no surprise she sells out stadiums around the world – but not all famous people are quite so accommodating, with Ye being extra protective of his wives
- Justin Bieber said meeting fans made him emotionally exhausted, while Doja Cat famously told them to ‘get off your phone and get a job’ – but Emma Watson is fine with it as long as no photos are taken
But not everyone feels the same, preferring to protect their privacy in public, or to prevent fans from getting the wrong idea about how much they’re willing to interact.
Here are eight celebs who really would rather you didn’t approach them. Don’t say you haven’t been warned …
1. Jennifer Lawrence
In 2016, JLaw told the UK’s Telegraph newspaper that she had grown reluctant to fulfil fans’ selfie requests. “I have just started becoming really rude and drawn into myself,” she admitted. “I think that people think that we already are friends because I am famous and they feel like they already know me – but I don’t know them.”
2. Cillian Murphy
“I just think it’s better to say hello and have a little conversation,” he told People magazine. “I tell that to a lot of people, you know, actor friends of mine, and they’re just like, ‘I feel so bad.’ But you don’t need a photo record of everywhere you’ve been in a day.”
