While some stars earn millions for recommendations on personal blogs and open up in stories, others prefer to keep their thoughts to themselves. These 12 celebrities consciously gave up social media.
Emily Blunt
Emily believes that her job as an actress is to convince the audience that she is someone else. So if she shares too much about her personal life on social media, her work may suffer: the performance will lose credibility for the viewer. But there is another reason: the actress is simply “out of the loop” and believes that she will feel like a dinosaur on social media, and it is not in her character to hang out there.
Daniel Radcliffe
One of the most successful British actors would probably have gathered millions of followers anywhere thanks to the incredible popularity of Harry Potter. Alas, there is no magic spell that would make Daniel run pages on social networks. The actor explained his position in one of his interviews: the thing is that he has a hard time with harsh criticism. According to Daniel, reading comments about himself on the Internet is harmful to health. The Potter star admitted that he wanted to create an account on Twitter, but quickly changed his mind: if this happened, fans would read about his fights with haters in the newspapers every day.
Kate Winslet
The Titanic star believes that social media is an ambiguous world that is difficult to navigate. She is so concerned about it that no one in her family, including the actress herself, has active accounts. Kate Winslet is sure that if she needs to talk to someone, she can always just call or text them. It’s even calmer this way, and her children are protected from the bad influence of the Internet. However, it’s hard to believe that the younger generation has isolated themselves voluntarily…
Emma Stone
The Hollywood celebrity has decided to stay away from any social media, at least for now. Stone admitted in a conversation with Jennifer Lawrence that she doesn’t see anything good for herself there. And despite all the advantages, she didn’t want to put up with many things. “A couple of years ago, I was struggling with the feeling that people were paying close attention to my appearance, and then I realized that everything that really bothers me and that people might comment on is something that I already worry about,” the star said. And when people talked about things that made Emma feel bad about herself, it only got worse.
Robert Pattison
During a Q&A back in 2017, Robert Pattinson admitted that only in his darkest moments did he consider having a social media account. However, years later, during an interview, he was less categorical. It turns out that he kind of likes Twitter and checks it almost every day. So, despite Robert’s lack of official accounts, it seems the actor enjoys scrolling through his feed using an anonymous profile.
Sandra Bullock
When Sandra Bullock was asked if she felt uncomfortable about not having social media accounts, she said that if she were to use them, she would not be open about it. Sandra reminded that not all publications are the pure truth. However, the star does not ignore what is said about her online. The actress hinted that she already hears from fans. And she will definitely start a page one day to keep an eye on her own children.
Daniel Craig
Playing Her Majesty’s secret agent in the James Bond franchise has probably taught the famous British actor more than one lesson in secrecy. If anyone is thinking about following him on social media, you will be disappointed. Daniel Craig has once again confirmed that he does not use social media on principle and will never create a personal account. Instead of online activities, Daniel devotes time to his family and tries to stay at home more often.
Kristen Stewart
Although she mentioned that she is not at all against online communication, the star, known for her role as Bella in the Twilight saga, briefly explained the reason why you will not be able to follow her: “I just don’t need it.” Kristen is confused by the pitfalls of social media. The actress noted that interaction between people online can lead to something beautiful and to the opposite result. She is not planning to become part of the digital world yet.
George Clooney
Clooney has repeatedly confirmed that he has no plans to create a social media profile because, in his opinion, people do not need to constantly know what a celebrity thinks. In addition, he believes that doing so would expose himself to unnecessary risks. The actor noted that posting inappropriate content to a wide audience can cost public figures their careers, and it is difficult to disagree with him.
Saoirse Ronan
The Lady Bird star believes that being on social media is a lot of stressful work. Saoirse doesn’t understand why people expect her to post her thoughts about her feelings or what’s going on with her. The star is sure that it’s her personal business and doesn’t want to put her life on display. By the way, the actress used Twitter at one point, but only because she followed British comedian Stephen Fry.
Brad Pitt
One of the most famous actors in the world once mentioned that he never had a passion for social networks. However, Brad believes that an account could be useful – especially when it is important to immediately refute fakes about yourself. For this reason, Brad thought twice about a personal profile, but came to the conclusion that he can do without social networks, but in his youth he would have liked to have a blog. We would like to see it!
Cate Blanchett
The Oscar winner for her role in the film “Blue Jasmine” is very categorical on the issue of social networks. Kate compares them to an elementary school playground. According to the star, social networks divide people and generate not the most positive feelings, which we have to deal with in real life.
