Being a celeb can seem so amazing, especially because the ones we have these days are treated like gods almost everywhere they go. People go crazy when they meet them in malls or along the streets, they almost fight each other just to get an autograph, and they would kill to have these famous people pose for a selfie with them. However, before you start wishing to become a celeb, it’s important to appreciate that it would be to be a “nobody” than to be a celeb everyone hates.
Many of the most hated celebs didn’t start their careers with the reputations they have; there was a time everyone used to love them. However, somewhere along the line, they did something stupid or engaged in a series of despicable acts, and immediately fell from grace. The interesting thing is that the celebrities who fall from grace can at times become even more famous owing to just how terrible their acts were, and most of them only hope the ground would open up and swallow them.
On the other hand, we have some celebrities who continue to win over everyone with every passing day. Although we know that even these celebs aren’t perfect, they have a way of making us feel as if they can do no wrong, and through their skills and talents, they continue to wow us. Here is a list of 8 celebrities we can’t help but hate, and 7 everyone absolutely loves. Which of these are your best and worst?
15. Everyone Hates Gwyneth Paltrow
To be fair, Gwyneth Paltrow doesn’t deserve to be on this list, but sadly she is here because in 2013, a tabloid magazine declared her the most hated celebrity. Paltrow is a successful actress, having won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress owing to her performance in the 1998 romantic comedy-drama film Shakespeare in Love. Other extremely successful films she has been part of include Seven, Emma, A Perfect Murder, Proof, Iron Man, the Avengers films, and many other films.
Some people try to ridicule her for explaining her split with her husband of 10 years as a “conscious uncoupling,” but other celebrities in Hollywood can learn so much from her about how to handle a divorce and how to move on like a mature adult.
Wendy Williams once explained that people hated Paltrow so much because she appeared to be “uppity and better than us,” citing her overprivileged upbringing and her lifestyle website Goop. Most of the products she recommends and sells through the website are super expensive and unnecessary.
14. Everyone Loves Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson deserves to top this list because he is simply the most lovable celebrity in every way. Most of us first saw The Rock when he was a wrestler at WWE. Even back then we fell in love with everything about him, especially his personality.
The Rock’s transition into film has since been the best decision he has made in his career, because he has been in many successful films, and topped the list of the highest paid actors in Hollywood on several instances.
The Rock is arguably the fittest actor in Hollywood, and the roles he takes on magnify this aspect in a great way. His ability to make audiences laugh is one of his strengths, and how good he is to his fans and regular people is one of his most outstanding qualities.
13. Everyone Hates Katherine Heigl
Katherine Heigl is an amazing actress whom we’ve loved since she started her career as a child model when she was just nine years old. Heigl first appeared in a film in 1992 and made a name for herself when she appeared in films such as My Father the Hero, Under Siege 2: Dark Territory, and several others.
However, most of us remember her from her role in Grey’s Anatomy. Heigl played a leading role in Grey’s Anatomy from the first to the sixth season, a series that became one of the highest-rated medical drama series in the United States for a long time.
Heigl is on this list owing to some comments she made in an interview with Vanity Fair regarding her role in the film Knocked Up. In the interview, she claimed the film was sexist, it painted women in bad light while showing men to be lovable and fun-loving, and that she hated playing a b**** 98% of the time. Her sentiments might have been true and she had every right to say so, but she attracted a lot of hate for it.
