15 Celebs Who Didn't Give An F That The Paparazzi Was Around
Fame, lots of money and thousands of adoring fans. We often think that celebrities are living the life. For the most part they are, except for the annoying and sometimes ruthless paparazzi. Imagine no matter what you do, or where you are at any given time you are being photographed-yikes! That means there is opportunities for unflattering photos that will be all over social media, celebrity mags and tabloids. Celebs have two options. Look flawless all the time, 24/7 hours a day 365 days a year, which would be nearly impossible, stressful and tiring, or you could do you and not care how odd, silly or terrible you look. These celebs picked option two.
We admire these celebrities that clearly did not care how they looked. They did what they needed to do, went where they needed to go or continued enjoying themselves. It is a lesson we can all learn. I know it's hard, but we got to try not to care too much about what other people think. It's a battle you will never win cause you can't please everyone. You only end up limiting and hurting yourself. So be you! Do your thang mama! And enjoy these 15 celebs who didn't give an F that the paparazzi was around.
15 Rihanna in Barbados
We love the beach. The beautiful water, the lovely sand, miles and miles of sun and fun. Finally a chance to unwind, relax and enjoy nature. However, when you are a superstar, a day on the beach isn't as picturesque.
Rihanna made a visit to her native country Barbados to spend the holidays with her family and for some much needed relaxation. But it quickly turned into a big crowd. She was surrounded by other visitors and the paparazzi taking photos of her as she was lounging in the sea. Rihanna paid no mind to the crowd and continued to enjoy her time at the beach the best she could. We love how she is tuning everyone out and acting as if there is no one there. She is not getting annoyed or even posing for them. Wow, we wish we had that much patience!
14 Kanye West at LAX
Okay what is going on here? Kanye is casually putting a guy in a headlock in front of a taxi in public.
In July 2013, Kanye West was having his photos taken by many paparazzi at LAX. He then addressed one photographer named Daniel Ramos, "What you're trying to do is get me in trouble, so I step out and have to pay you like $250,000”. Then he ran towards him and tried to grab his camera. But not giving a F does have its consequences.
He had to complete 250 hours of community service and 30 days of anger management. If Ye can keep out of trouble for 2 years the conviction will be removed from his record. Everyone needs some privacy, so we get it Ye. Sometimes enough is enough!
13 Justin Bieber Leaving the Langham Hotel
Don't take my photo! We all have had days where we didn't want our photos taken. Maybe we didn't look our best or we weren't feeling well.
The paparazzi was taking photos of Bieber leaving the Langham Hotel. He tried to attack the pap, wanting them leave him alone. He was angry and in the heat of the moment didn't care how the media was going to, once again, have a field day with Bieber getting into trouble.
He later took to Twitter and tweeted “Ahhhhh! Rough morning. Trying to feel better for this show tonight but let the paps get the best of me. Sometimes when people r shoving cameras in your face all day and yelling the worst thing possible at u… well I'm human.” He finished his tweets with “ Only way someone can break u is if u let them.” We couldn't agree more, Justin.
12 Shia Labeouf's Pre-Run Stretches
Things have changed since his Disney and Transformer days. Shia LaBeouf is no stranger to the law and is known for odd moments that have gone viral. Here is someone not concerned about upholding a certain image!
For example, he ran 144 laps around the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam in front of a large crowd. I don't know about you, but sometimes we get self-conscious at the gym. The event was called a “metamodernism” and was announced on Twitter. Volunteers could run with Shia, run for Shia, or make Shia run. All participants received a commemorative sash.
He took this run seriously dressed in skintight spandex purple pants, hot pink running shoes and a lime green tank top. He even did pre-run stretches. Some would say he looked ridiculous, but, hey, he was being fit and having fun, and there is nothing wrong with that.
11 Britney Spears Smashes a Pap's SUV Window
Brittany was having a difficult time. She was dealing with a custody battle with ex-husband, Kevin Federline, and her family and friends were concerned about her mental health. She had recently shaved her head bald and had expressed how the media would not leave her alone.
She had had enough one night and used a green umbrella to smash a paparazzi SUV window following a visit to Kevin Federline's house. Okay Brittany, we understand how annoying and horrible the paparazzi can be, but if you want less media attention, you got to tone down activities that are going to get the paparazzi's attention!
Her explanation was: “I was preparing my character for a role in a movie where the husband never plays his part, so they switch places accidentally. I take all my roles very seriously and got a little carried away. Unfortunately I didn't get the part.”
Ooookayyy… moving on…
10 Alec Baldwin Leaving the Marriage License Bureau
Getting married should be one of the best days of your life. Filled with love, joy and happiness. However, a special moment was ruined by this paparazzi.
Alec Baldwin and then fiancée and now wife, Hilaria Thomas, were leaving the city Marriage License Bureau after getting their marriage license. Alec Baldwin was not happy with the paparazzi. He shoved and punched photographer, Marcus Santos. There is some argument with who started the incident. But does it matter?
Alec, who is known to have a bit of a temper, didn't keep his cool. Alec later took to Twitter and tweeted “A photographer' almost hit me in the face with his camera this morning. #allpaparazzishouldbewaterboarded'. Water boarded? Really Alec? Isn't that a bit extreme?!?
Soon after the engagement, Hilaria Thomas said she “wanted the wedding to be 'something very simple' with no drama”. Here's hoping their actual marriage is going more smoothly.
9 Benedict Cumberbatch's Napkin Mask
Benedict Cumberbatch is known for playing a stylish Sherlock Holmes. However, Benedict looked anything but stylish here. Benedict what are you doing? Hiding from the paparazzi?
Nope, he was being a gracious lunch host and entertaining his two female guests at a New York City restaurant. One of the guests was Dakota Johnson 50 Shades Of Gray Star, and the other guest is unknown.
He used the napkins to make a silly mask and put on a theatrical performance. He went on eating and drinking tea, ignoring his ridiculous mask. Okay, we must admit this is pretty cute, regardless of how silly it must of looked. I wonder how all the other restaurant diners reacted? What we love is that he focused on making sure his friends were having a good time and did not care what the paparazzi thought!
8 Dustin Huffman's Walk in Malibu
It's a warm, sunny summer day. Oh, no! You forgot your hat and sunglasses! The sun is suddenly too bright, and without a hat, you may get a bad sunburn. But have no fear Dustin Hoffman has come up with the perfect solution!
Dustin was enjoying a casual stroll in Malibu, without a hat or sunglasses. He improvised and covered his face and body with a grey hoodie turned backwards.
We are not sure how he could see where he is going and hoped he didn't trip with his flip-flops. He didn't care how odd this looked, as he proudly waved to onlookers. His friends all had sunglasses on. Nice friends you got there, couldn't they of reminded him to bring his sunglasses? Or better yet pack an extra pair? Oh well, it looked like a fun time was had by all and that's what really matters.
7 Hayden Panettiere's On Set Wedgie
Aren't wedgies the worst?! They are so uncomfortable and often you are not able to fix them. There are lots of terrible moments to have a wedgie. At work, during a date, heck, anywhere really! Well, Hayden Panettiere unfortunately had a wedgie on the set of the TV show Heroes.
However, she didn't seem to care where she was or who was around her. She went right ahead and put her hands down her pants to fix her thong wedgie out in public in front of everyone. Yep, she didn't bother going to the changing room or bathroom. Wait-a thong wedgie? I thought one of the benefits of a thong is you wouldn't get a wedgie… You would just have like a permanent wedgie… Maybe it's best not to over think this. Regardless, we admire Hayden for not giving a shit.
6 Ben Affleck's Bic Mac Delight
We know that junk food and fast food is not good for us, but how can something so wrong taste so right? Who hasn't craved a big juicy fast-food hamburger!?! Well, apparently celebrities are no different than us. They also treat themselves to the occasional junk food burger.
Forget the unhealthiness for a sec. Sometimes, depending on the food, we can look terrible while ingesting our meal. Eating isn't always the most attractive activity, especially if we're very hungry and hastily devour our feast.
Ben Affleck is seen in his car chowing down on a McDonald's Big Mac. He looks in pure bliss taking a few moments to himself to quickly eat the burger. He doesn't seem to be concerned with any onlookers as his window is down, he is just enjoying his burger. Yum. He is not hiding it, and why should he be? Food is meant to be enjoy! So, we applaud Ben for having a public moment of indulgence.
5 Zayn Malik's Butt Scratch
Zayn decided to go for a nice bike ride. Nothing wrong with that. We often enjoy spending quality time in the great outdoors. Plus, bike riding is great exercise and a cost effective way to travel around town. But wait, he stops riding his bike and starts to scratch his bum. What? Ok ,we get it, everyone gets itchy and sometimes you need to scratch. But he clearly doesn't give a rat's a**! He just starts to scratch his butt out in the open in front of everyone.
Couldn't he of went behind a tree or bush at least? Or maybe a nearby bathroom? Anywhere more private, Zayn, come on! It is kinda gross and we hope he has some hand sanitizer or something. But we must admit, we never seen someone look so cute while being so rude.
4 Gigi Hadid's Hair Faux Pas
Our daily morning beauty routine can take a lot of time. Some days you may be in a rush to do errands and do not have time to wait for your hair to dry. Hence, we leave the house with hair rollers in our hair.
We know it is considered a fashion no-no, but, hey, if you're a multi-tasker it is a good idea. Think about it! You can go grocery shopping while your hair dries and curls. Only one problem: it looks silly. That's why it was a surprise to many to see American fashion model icon, Gigi Hadid, walking around New York City with big pink curlers in her hair. No, she wasn't in disguise because she wore a leather jacket with her name on it. We love that she didn't care, and we can only image how beautiful her hair looked after #flawless.
3 Hugh Laurie's Nap on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
Okay, we know that the celeb life can be tiring and busy, so a nap would be greatly appreciated. But is the floor the best spot for a nap? Especially during an awards ceremony in your honor? British actor, Hugh Laurie decided to take a cat nap. He laid down on the ground by his star which was unveiled during his Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony in Hollywood, California.
How awkward! Was Hugh like: “Thank you for this honor, excuse me while I lay down now on the floor”… ?! Whatever his reasoning was, he surely didn't care how odd he would look. I'm sure people at first thought he fainted or was not feeling well. But nope, he literally just decided he wanted to lay down to pose for a shot, and I guess, since it's his star, he felt he could do whatever he wanted. Not so chic.
2 Michael Jackson on His Hotel Balcony in Berlin
It's no secret that the king of pop was constantly followed by the paparazzi. Michael Jackson, while staying at a hotel in Berlin, dangled his 9-month-old son over the hotel balcony and surprised thousands of fans watching below. He used only one arm around the baby's chest. The child named Prince Michael II had a handkerchief over his head.
Due to public outcry, Jackson did issue an apology saying the incident was a “terrible mistake". I offer no excuses for what happened," the statement read. "I got caught up in the excitement of the moment. I would never intentionally endanger the lives of my children."
Okay, regardless of how you feel about the incident, you've got to admit, in that moment Michael didn't give an F about how the people or the paparazzi would react to his actions. His focus was on his adoring fans.
1 Harry Styles Publicly Relieving Himself
Harry, Harry, Harry. You must know by now that as a celebrity, there isn't much you can do in public that the paparazzi won't capture!
When nature called, Harry threw all caution to the wind and peed in a bush. But this bush was out in the open! Yep, Harry Styles was spotted without a care in the world with his pants down around his ankles and his bare bum out peeing. Ewwww. We get it, when you gotta go, you gotta go, but couldn't he of been more discrete?
I thought men could urinate without pulling their pants fully down? If he had his pants mostly up we may of not noticed what was going on, but no. He had to draw unnecessary attention to himself… douchy much? Well, at least we got to see his bum.
