Some stars behave like ordinary average people, despite the huge number of regalia and recognition. Glory did not spoil their character, and success did not turn their heads. Here is a list with photos of actors and actresses who were not arrogant and did not star. For them, star status is nothing more than a phrase, and the song "Stars do not ride the subway" is an empty phrase.
Mark Ruffalo
- "Shutter Island"
- "At least once in my life"
- "The Avengers"
Mark's path to fame was difficult and winding, but after he achieved his goals, Ruffalo did not become spoiled and moody. Mark does not like to waste money and demand for himself some kind of special status. The Hollywood actor also redefined a lot in life and in his worldview after he was diagnosed with a tumor in his head in 2002. For a while, the actor had partially paralyzed facial muscles, and he began to suffer from deafness, but now the artist is much better. According to the close circle of the actor, it is difficult to find a more modest person than Mark. He is very unassuming in everyday life and ascetic in food.
Sean Connery
- League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
- Find Forrester
- "The vicissitudes of love"
Several generations of Russian and foreign viewers were able to appreciate the depth of the British actor's talent. Connery himself never tried to emphasize his merits and statuses, but rather, on the contrary, Sir Sean was always distinguished by some modesty and nobility. After retiring to cinematic retirement, the actor began to lead a lifestyle similar to that of any average British pensioner. He visits, attends matches of his favorite football team and tries to spend time with his family.
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis
- "Once Upon a Time in Vegas", "Lifeguard", "Bobby" / "The Book of Eli", "The Extra Third", "Black Swan"
The celebrity couple knows how difficult it is to make money. Both of them were born in poor families and, although they could waste money now, like many of their colleagues, they do not. Ashton and Mila believe that spending should be approached rationally, and children should be raised so that they know the value of everything. Kutcher and Kunis are also completely unconcerned in communicating with their fans and do not emphasize their stellar status, wherever they are.
Keanu Reeves
- Street Kings
- "Sweet November"
- "Devil's Advocate"
Keanu Reeves is rightfully considered one of the most altruistic foreign actors. He is absolutely indifferent to all the pretentious attributes of "real stars". He does not have a huge mansion with a swimming pool, and you will not find expensive brand new items in his closet. Keanu does not have a huge fleet of vehicles, but instead moves around the city in a regular metro. He prefers to donate most of his fees to various foundations. Once Reeves did not recognize the security of the club, where the presentation of the film "The Daughter of God" took place - the modestly dressed performer of one of the main roles did not even call the organizers so as not to cause a scandal.
Jennifer Lawrence
- "Passengers"
- "Red Sparrow"
- "The Hunger Games"
Many actresses immediately after receiving a high fee invest it in real estate, a new car, or, in extreme cases, in a wardrobe update. But Jennifer is not one of them. Even after Lawrence became one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood, she did not move out of a small apartment and did not change her habits. The actress says that she is not in danger of star fever, because she is an introvert and a couch potato, and instead of living her life, she loves to sit at home in the evenings and watch a good movie. In addition, Lawrence prefers not to save part of his income for a comfortable old age, but to distribute it to various charitable organizations.
Jake Gyllenhaal
- The Sisters Brothers
- "Velvet Chainsaw"
- "Under the cover of night"
Jake simply has no time to be arrogant, because he is a real workaholic. Gyllenhaal just loves her job and says it's better to be a pool washer than an average actor - the actor has to be either cool or not at all. Jake prefers independent but interesting projects to box-office blockbusters, modest housing for chic mansions, and public transport to expensive cars.
Robert Pattinson
- "Water for Elephants!"
- "Dusk"
- "Remember me"
Sometimes even the stars from whom you expect it in the first place are not arrogant. So, after the release of the vampire saga "Twilight", Robert Pattinson could very well have become a star: he was surrounded by crowds of fans, for whom he became a real sex symbol. But the fame did not spoil the young actor, but on the contrary, he moved to a quiet area so that he would not be bothered by journalists and continued to drive an old used car. In addition, sometimes during rush hour Pattinson can even be found on the city shuttle bus.
Jennifer Garner
- Dallas Buyers Club
- "Love, Simon"
- "Miracles from Heaven"
Our list continues with photos of actors and actresses who were not arrogant and did not star, the ex-wife of Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner. Glory did not spoil the actress at all, and she tries to look and behave just like any average American woman. Jennifer does not hire guards and moves freely around the streets with her children. She visits regular stores and admits that she loves vegetables and fruits purchased from small markets. Garner also loves to ride a bike and considers it to be the best means of transportation.
Keira Knightley
- "Phantom beauty"
- "Pride and Prejudice"
- Anna Karenina
Keira Knightley has been on the list of the most popular actresses for several decades, but this does not prevent her from remaining an ordinary, non-starred and adequate person. Moreover, despite the fact that the actress's fees are very high, she annually draws up a financial plan for herself and does not go beyond it. Kira believes that the pursuit of new, unjustifiably expensive things and stellar pretentious paraphernalia, including twenty cars and thirty apartments, can destroy the psyche and soul of a person.
Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr.
- Cruel Intentions, Doppelganger, I Know What You Did Last Summer / East End Witches, Seer, Bones
The famous performer of the role of Buffy and her husband have long left Hollywood and the atmosphere of parties and wealth surrounding it. They prefer to live modestly, teach their children to save money and look like an ordinary middle-class family. Freddie is engaged in cooking, and Sarah helps her husband in all his endeavors and only occasionally appears on the big screens. The actress once admitted in an interview that she prefers clothes of democratic brands and is closely following promotions in supermarkets.
Russell Crowe
- Loudest Voice
- "Three days to escape"
- "Secrets of Los Angeles"
Not all famous actors love to swim in luxury. Oscar-winning Russell Crowe, for example, loves simplicity and comfort, and is removed, as he himself claims, for the soul, not for money. Several years ago, Crowe decided to escape from the pathos and city noise altogether - he bought a small farm in Australia, where he moved his family. Russell prefers a hat and jeans to expensive suits, and walks along the ocean to going to nightclubs. Crowe's farm was damaged during the Australian fires raging in 2020, and now the actor is actively involved in the restoration of his lands, investing heavily in the program for restoring the nature of the mainland.
Sandra Bullock
- "Gravity"
- "Invisible side"
- Miss Congeniality
Sandra Bullock can be safely attributed to Hollywood stars who were not overtaken by star fever. Miss Congeniality bought herself a small apartment in New Orleans by star standards to live away from pretentious skyscrapers and constant noise. In addition, millions of contributions to various charitable foundations are a mandatory annual expenditure for the actress. Also, the actress took two children from an orphanage to foster care and constantly provides various assistance to the Red Cross.
Hayden Christensen
- "New York, I love you"
- "Virgins Suicide"
- "Are you afraid of the dark?"
Hayden Christensen, who plays Anakin Skywalker in the cult Star Wars movie, completes the list with photos of actors and actresses who are not arrogant and star-studded. Despite the fame that has fallen on him, the actor does not suffer from star fever. Like Russell Crowe, Christensen decided he wanted to be as far away from the stone jungle as possible. The actor bought a farm, installed non-polluting solar panels on it, and began growing vegetables on the site in his free time from the stage. So Hayden can easily be seen driving a tractor or with a basket of vegetables and fruits, which, by the way, bring Christensen a good income.
