Celebs Who Are Actually Jerks in Real Life

[@MsStanford]

My friend’s aunt used to live in Los Angeles in the early 80s when she was a teenager. One afternoon she fell off her bike and sprained her ankle. She hitched a ride home (it was normal back then). A man stopped for her. He happened to be Walter Matthau. He stopped at a local drug store, ran in to buy her bandages, stopped at a pay phone to call her parents to tell them what happened. Talked to her on the ride home about everyday things like school, family, travel, food, friends, etc. Made sure she got in the house ok and walked her bike up to the porch. Didn’t gloat about his status once. A lot of celebrities are jerks but it’s a nice story to hear.

Nicest celebrity I have ever met was Paul Newman. He was staying at a resort I was working at, many years ago, so I saw him fairly frequently out and about over a few weeks.

I met Charlie Sheen - I was introduced to him as a friend of a friend of his. Although I was actually sort of impressed about meeting the guy (I don't normally hang with celebrities), I was not expecting a whole lot of nice. But Sheen had in fact met my seriously drug-addled brother a few months earlier, and when he found out I was that guy's brother, he got up, grabbed both my hands and said - with more heartfelt sincerity than I was expecting - "oh my god. How's he doing?" I thought that was sort of sweet (and my brother's been clean for two years now, so smiles all around).

[@GHC3]

The older I get and the more I watch his movies, the more I appreciate him. Loyal and faithful to his wife, the eldest member of the 80s rat pack and gave it his all in his performances. Some of his movies came to be because so many other people passed on it or didn't think it was going to work, like Ghost or Dirty Dancing. Road House was his best performance in my opinion, especially when he has to pull the dagger out of his partner/friend Sam Elliot body as he was left dead on the bartop and the intense expressions on his face of anger and grief as he knows he has to avenge him. In Three Wishes, the ending really suckered punched me emotionally and made me start crying and wasn't expecting that.

@@jenniferlarson6426 As we understand it, her marriage to Desi was one of convenience mostly, to induce more fame, as he was a very popular musician at that time, far more known than she was. But there had to be some physical attraction because they had two kids. She had medium brown hair and thought red hair would set her apart from all the other gals who wanted to be actresses in her era. I think her talent was not her lines, those were written for her, but her facial expressions, with that clownishly painted face, the lipstick oddly outlining her lips, was almost comedic in itself! But she was driven and when the chance came for her to be a studio executive and producer, along with her husband, she jumped on it, thus Desilu Productions. In the war-time '40's, people NEEDED something to laugh at, so "I Love Lucy" was a good candidate for that.

@@horaceball5418 Integrity has nothing to do with celebrity. I value integrity in much higher regard. Mr Jenkins extended himself to me arms engaged me in conversation. While I'm at it, although he never engaged me in conversation (albeit he spoke to me in kind motivating terms), we were very busy, the little things Harrison Ford did to include me were outside the realm of requirement, which made those scenes very special to me. I agree with your estimation of Keanu. I've witnessed him be kind live. It's unprofessional to approach another actor (especially if you have no lines) between scenes or during scene setups, as they may be concentrating on lines or actions, but occasionally an extra will risk getting thrown off a set to ask for a photo or autograph. During one day several women approached him and didn't get them in trouble but herded them aside to set that up during lunch and at the end of the day. He even asked the PAs and AD not to make a deal over it. I was in the final scene of a movie with him after a long all-nighter, he complimented me, gave me an abrazo (side hug while patting me on the back). It meant a great deal to me particularly because I kept thinking during the entire project that he was still likely despairing the loss of his daughter and the breakup he was going through. Given all that he was still able to dredge up incredible inner strength to push through all the pain with which he was dealing, but still took time to overlook that and to strengthen others.

Years ago I went to a western show in Apache Junction, AZ. It was put on my Wilford Brimley. I think it was a charity event and was full of actors. Bruce Boxleitner was on his horse next to a fence and some kids were talking to him, asking him questions, and asking for an autograph. He turned his horse so his back and the horse's rear end was facing the kids. I told him loudly that he should be ashamed of himself. Told him he wouldn't be where he was without his fans. I then called him an asshole. He turned and we locked eyes. If looks could kill, he'd have dropped dead. He turned back around and continued to ignore the poor kids. I won't watch anything with him in it to this day. Was shocked when Melissa Gilbert married him. Glad she's no longer with him. I haven't liked Tom Cruise for a long time either. I had a sister-in-law that joined Scientology and her family was treated horribly. They came to the house and took her belongings and when she wrote the family, they'd cross most of what she wrote out. So I don't have anything to do with these idiots that are in this cult.

I’ve seen an interview with a person that actually got to be on the Ellen show. Apparently when she got to the studio the producers had to lay down a set of rules that said that basically Ellen is the star of the show and she wasn’t, she also wasn’t allowed to be funnier than Ellen. on the show she’s portrayed to be this funny and loving person but that’s only when the cameras are rolling. When the cameras are off she treats everyone like they are beneath her

So wrong!

[@TygerBleuToo]

I worked with him. He can be a jerk. I was in the round table reading of Turner and Hooch with the cast, producer and Henry Winkler, the director (at the time). Hanks was sooo mean to Henry (who actually is an incredibly lovely man). I still don’t understand the issue between them but I think it was from way back. They both worked with Garry Marshall early in their careers so maybe something happened then. I think Henry walked away (or was let go) from the project after about a week on set.

Charlize Theron and Elton John should be on this list. I met both of them when I was a flight attendant for British Airways. Elton John was beyond rude, dispeakable, and downright condescending. He swore at literally everything and everyone including the fly on the window. One of my colleagues gave him some water after he asked for it and didn't mention that he wanted ice so my colleague brought the water without ice and omg Elton went off at him and spewed every racist cuss word you could ever think off. My colleague quit that day. I threw out every Elton john record I had and can't listen to any of his music. About a month later we had Charlize as a passenger and omg she was so rude when a fan asked for an autograph she went off at him and even called the pilot d*ckhead. Then she was on the phone just yelling and cussing at whoever was on the other end of the line. I quit too shortly that. It was then that I decided I never want to meet a famous person ever again.

The problem is most all of us base their thoughts and opinions of “celebrities” on the “characters” you see them portray... especially if they are on a long time show.

I was fired the day the "esteemed" actor Peter O'Toole walked in for an appointment and I asked him his name as was my job. Apparently, my failure to recognise a bad-tempered, middle-aged Shakespearean actor qualified as "insolence". He reported me to my boss and as he was a "valued client" I was fired on the spot. I really liked that job too. They had a few rock stars on their books that this 19-year-old would have recognised instantly if I'd lasted long enough to meet any of them! 🤣

@@SuzyQ334 Peter O'Toole even treated his first wife badly. She left because she was subjected to mental cruelty in her marriage to Peter O'Toole. Alcohol and jealousy were also a reason. Was for a broken EGO just because he wasn't recognized. But the former boss wasn't any better. Whether you're a good client or not, as a boss you should be loyal to your employees. Simply because she enjoyed doing her work. Some actors are not only overrated, but have far too big an EGO.
