When a celebrity in person really underwhelms you

Anonymous
I used to work at an upscale hotel bar in the early 2000s.

Angelina Jolie came in frequently and was very gracious. (This was when she still had her “bad girl” image, but had adopted her first child. A colleague joked that she could call a tabloid and ruin Angelina’s reputation because we knew that she was actually a good & attentive mom.)

George Clooney shook hands with everyone he came in contact with and learned everyone’s names. He was incredibly genuine.

Lyle Lovett looks at you like he cares about everything you have to say.

I once saw him walking down Mass Ave NW by himself.

Agreed. She was startling looking and the plastic surgery and brassy hair is not good.

Yes I agree as my sister lived two houses away from my house that she and Mark Anthony shared. It was a brief period of time though however look wise and less she’s all dolled up- Surprisingly very plain


Jlo lived in your house?

Add Matthew McConaughey to the “tiny” list. He was really nice but incredibly sun damaged, short, and WASTED when I met him. That’s probably why all the females are short, so the males look tall!

Cameron Diaz sat next to me at a restaurant and she had awful skin.

+2. And bony AF.. But she was polite at least.

Saw Cilian Murphy at the train station in London in 2015. Super hot. Those eyes and cheek bones! He was wearing glasses and a hat and was completely unassuming.

Kanye, Beyoncé, and Ryan Seacrest at the Beverly Hilton the night before the Grammys many years ago. Kanye was super tiny. Ryan is even tinier. And Beyoncé looked great.

Perez Hilton in pjs and slippers at the same Beverly Hilton many years ago---when he was still super mean and at the height of his 15 minutes. I literally shut the security door on him so he couldn't access the bungalow rooms (you needed a key, and he didn't have one).

Alecia Keyes rehearsing. Stunning.

Saw Keira Knightly out with her DD once and she looked very normal and shy. I barely recognised her. Though her jawline really stood out...it’s not as attractive in person as it is on film.


What an odd thing to say when he helped you out. Maybe you're just not used to people with different accents than your own?

I interviewed Kirsten Dunst. She was polite, humble and told her handler she’d like a few more minutes with me even though ITV was a timed junket.

Tony Bennett also spent extra time with me and sang to me. He gushed about other singers he admires.

He's 6'2". Maybe you saw a look a like shorty?

I used to date the short version of a well known celebrity.


+1 Arnold is definitely not short. PP was duped.

I think I just imagine them all taller than me for some reason

My friend went to Wharton with her and was in the same study group one semester. Friend was an international student and for the longest time had no idea who Ivanka was. Said she looked extremely polished and pretty, down to earth and polite. I saw her smoking outside of the building once and she waved at my friend.

Robert Deniro in NY seems tough and standoffish

Olsen twins so small and so covered up they looked like two little Hungarian grandmothers

Catherine zeta jones and Michael Douglas about 5 years ago she is very striking and he was very good looking

Brooke shields in Georgetown about a year ago pretty nut definitely showing her age


I saw Michael Douglas too and also thought he looked good / better than expected.

Jennifer love Hewitt was tiny when I met her.

Saw Colin Powell on the street and he was big

Not sure who else I’ve meet / seen close up. A lot of the pro sports people are huge but that’s probably obvious.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson about 10 years ago, hot.
