As hard as it may be to believe that there are celebrities who would rather stay away out of the spotlight, some famous people just don’t like all the attention. They are huge stars, but also introverted people to some extent. Check out the celebs who have admitted that they’re closeted wallflowers.
The Lincoln star is famously reclusive, splitting his time between New York and Ireland — where he’s able to successfully avoid Hollywood completely. Despite being arguably one of the most talented actors alive, Daniel accepts few roles, working steadily but not frequently. You’ll never see him in a Hollywood club mingling with his A-list peers, or talking about his personal life. In fact, the Oscar-winning actor has described himself as “a lifelong study of evasion.” And when he’s not acting, Daniel works as a cobbler and woodworker.
She may be on the Hollywood A-list and own a host of trophies, but Meryl Streep prefers to stay out of the Hollywood spotlight and away from the paparazzi. When not making movies, she lives with her husband in a quiet Connecticut suburb.
“I’m shy, paranoid, whatever word you want to use. I hate fame. I’ve done everything I can to avoid it,” the actor once said.
Leo has one of the most famous faces in Hollywood — and that’s why the actor’s favorite accessory is a baseball cap pulled way down over his eyes. The star doesn’t necessarily shy away from hot Hollywood clubs — or hot Hollywood starlets. But when he’s not promoting his next blockbuster hit, DiCaprio is notoriously private, avoiding public appearances and sticking to Europe, where he’s able to more easily fly under the radar.
Once the darling of romantic comedies, Ryan has decided her focus should be on raising her children after her divorce from Dennis Quaid. She left Hollywood to go to New York and keeps to herself, living as quiet and private a life as a movie actress can.
The young actress was poised for Hollywood superstardom when Juno became a breakout hit in 2007. But rather than taking advantage of her newfound VIP status to get to the front of the line at every hot Hollywood club, Ellen has shirked the spotlight, opting to stay far away from the places popular with other starlets.
“It was very natural for me to want to disappear into a dark theater, I am really very shy. That is something that people never seem to fully grasp because, when you are an actor, you are meant to be an exhibitionist,” Kidman said.
Rarely on the tabloids or the interview press circuit, Danny DeVito prefers to direct and act without all the Hollywood fuss. Even when his marriage to Rhea Perlman went through troubles, they did their best to keep it out of the press.
Despite her husband’s wild, attention-seeking antics, Isla and Sacha Baron Cohen are surprisingly protective of their private lives.
Thanks for the great article. Well, it is a choice of every public person to hide from the crowd and keep their life private or manifest it to everyone. I like the way DiCaprio tends not to be recognized in the streets. I like the style. I would never have thought that Nicole Kidman is shy. And in case with Isla Fisher, partners differ. I adore Meg Ryan and her dedication to kids. Children come first priority in life f every mother.
